#I know its probably fake but I just needed to spread that.

I'm tired.
Just sort of in general I am exhausted. I know I put on a brave face a lot, but the hate does get to me. The constant unceasing hatred both offline and online gets to me. I'm human idk what to say. Been thinking a lot about the Bilbo quote, I might be paraphrasing, "I feel like too little butter spread across too much toast."
It's pride month, I should be feeling happy right? I convocated finally after a brutal long degree I should be feeling happy right? I like how my body looks for the first time in my life shouldn't I feel happy?
And I know that's not helpful, that feelings are not a should thing. And yet I feel it anyway :/. Not that I do not feel happy, I would say on average I am better than I have been at any other point in my life. But it does get to me.
I was invited to dinner with a former family member, a blood relative that breached every boundary I placed and even went so far as to accost me in a public space. It's hard watching someone lose all love for you the more you become yourself. Being told I'm an embarrassment to my parents by creeps online stings a lot more now that I had a blood relative say it to my face while aggressively yanking my jacket so I couldn't get away. I know its a lie, I know that this person saying that hurt my parents as much as it did me. Alas, anxiety rarely responds to facts or evidence.
Everytime it feels like I'm fine and over it; this person manages to weasel their way around boundaries to fuck up my mental health for a week. And the thing about chronic illnesses like mine is they flare up quite horrendously when you get stressed and anxious. Anxiety means waking up to acid burnt throat from reflux.
It makes my voice dysphoric all day.
I think deep down one of my greatest fears is that I am unlovable, that everyone around me secretly hates me and is just waiting for the excuse to finally be rid of interacting with me. I am terrified that I am a burden. Mortified by the false belief that I am broken.
Despite how horrific my childhood adolescence and some of my early adulthood were, my family was at least a safe place. I recognize that I was privileged to have that. With that said I think the reason this whole thing has rocked me so much is that it violated that one last place I felt safe. It has made me doubt the love of those I never thought I would.
Sometimes transphobia feels like drowning, and if you try to swim for air everyone decides to shove you further down cause actually it's proof you are faking needing breath.
I text someone anytime I go run errands, just to make sure someone knows. Had too many experiences of hate. I get anxious when I go to get groceries; will this be the time I get hit by a vehicle driven by a far right transphobe, am I going to get called a slur again, will the store staff get suspicious of me and search through all my groceries to make sure I actually paid for it. But please, tell me how I don't know what its like to be oppressed. When men sexually harass, catcall, creepily hit on, follow me around clearly I am not at all experiencing sexism. Obviously the real worst thing in the world is that women "cancel" people on the internet, and trans people exist. Did they think sending me hateful articles would suddenly make me go "oh yes clearly its all in my head, please genocide my community, I stand for nothing and have the moral backbone of a slug."
I don't really know why I'm writing this, I dont usually feel or desire to express something like this publicly. I will probably delete it later. Maybe I disappear into writing cause its easier to deal with the feelings that way. That at least then someone gets something out of my pain. That maybe it helps to condense emotional mountains to the mole hills of short strokes of a pen or presses of a key. To let them explode outward in a flurry of thoughts and words that others look at and say "I too have felt this, you are not alone, you are not wrong for feeling this way."
Anything to take the weight of it all off my chest for a second.
Because I am tired.
I'm exhausted really.
I don't want to be brave or strong or resilient. It's tiring to bear the weight of that and a billion projections. Atlas does not bear the heavens upon his shoulders because he is strong or brave. He bears it because he has no other choice. Because people put it on him.
I just want to exist; that is apparently too much to ask for as a trans woman.
If you are concerned, please don't worry I'll be fine, I was fine every other time after all. This too shall pass. But right now it hurts.
And I have had my fill of hurt for many lifetimes.

Could I maybe get an Angel and Reader fake date catch feelings imagine? Angel needs a date for an event, probably would have asked Husk but he's busy, so Reader agreed to go with him instead and agreed to do the whole 'loving couple' act only for them to catch feelings as the night carries on.

✼__________________________________________________________✼
𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 --𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐃𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩…(𝑯𝒂𝒛𝒃𝒊𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒍)
(𝐰𝐜): 723
𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: When Valentino decides to create a dating scandal with Angel Dust, things take a turn for the better when he chooses you as his fake partner.
(𝐀/𝐍): i stretched it out a lil but its like the same thing still; :3
𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠(𝐬): it gets sexual because i have no self control
                                                        𓆩♡𓆪
♡ I don't have enough brain power to think of a specific event so it could be a royal ball for all i know
♡ Somehow, Angel Dust's reach was decreasing by the smallest amount so Valentino decided to stir something up
♡ Clearly porn wasn't working as well anymore since Angel started rebelling against him, so Valentino decided to rile up some of Angel Dust's more dedicated fans
♡ Valentino knew that fans would kick up dirt about a "boyfriend"
♡ He gave Angel the grace of picking out who it would be and he just happened to pick you
♡ He figured Husk wouldn't be able to sell it, but you were able to work up a crowd just like he could and Alastor would most likely kill him, so you were the best option
♡ He also had the smallest attraction to you, so that was an added bonus
♡ It's "announced" at one of Valentino's events
♡ Where Angel would usually be sitting on Valentino's laps for this, he was sitting on yours
♡ It was a little bit awkward first but with a few drinks and playful banter, you eased up and made everything seem so much more natural
♡ There were doubters of course, but nobody could deny your obvious chemistry
♡ The two of you went through scenarios that Valentino had planned specifically to convince the public but Angel Dust found himself enjoying it more than he thought he would
♡ And you did too 👀
♡ You fully expected this event to be a pain in the ass and were only really going for the free drinks
♡ However, the conversation between you and Angel was as natural as it possibly could be
♡ It's like you two weren't just acquaintances before this night
♡ Just as Valentino intended, your "relationship" spread like wildfire through Hell
♡ You two were the new hot topic around Hell, with a tough mix of haters and shippers
♡ You really enjoyed your night out with Angel, even if it hadn't happened how you would've preferred, so you decided to ask him to go out with you again
♡ Though you did pussy out and said it would be good to feed the lie...
♡ Angel saw through your shit, you were way too nervous, but he agreed anyway
♡ The cycle continued and eventually you stopped using the publicity as an excuse and just called them dates
♡ You'd take him out shopping, to bars, out to dinner, or even just for a walk
♡ Doing things together just became second nature
♡ You became used to his presence, as did he with yours, to the point where he could just go to your room and cuddle with you for the night without blinking an eye
♡ But even though it looked official, you never actually asked him to be your boyfriend
♡ On one of your dates you took him to his favorite bar and ordered a few too many of your favorite drinks
♡ You two ended up drunk from the drinks and high off the tension of your romance
♡ And after some heavy teasing from Angel, you finally cracked and brought him to the bathroom where your hands got a little more than curious
♡ You had to pry him off you just to order a taxi and had to sprint with him in your arms just to make it to your bedroom, but your drunk ass made it
♡ Although you two were far from sober, you were both intentional with your actions and genuine with your late declarations of love
♡ The morning after was a little awkward
♡ Angel woke up first and pushed himself into a panic, worrying that you weren't actually into him and you only wanted sex, despite all the time you had spent together and your obvious infatuation
♡ But his worries washed away when you woke up, immediately pulled him closer, and called him a sweet name
♡ He enjoyed the moment before you two talked about what happened and the details of your relationship
♡ You finally became official and Husk could stop listening to Angel whine
♡ Your dynamic didn't change much, but there was definitely a lot more PDA in the hotel after
                                                        𓆩♡𓆪

Eddie handcuffing your hands above your head to his bed frame. Eddie kissing you and playing with your tits until you’re begging for him to touch you where you need him. Eddie playing with you through your panties until you’re soaked through and bucking your hips so desperately that he’s threatening to tie your legs down too. Eddie finally taking your panties off and admiring the way you’re practically dripping onto his sheets. Eddie eating you out until you’re begging, begging for him to let you cum. Eddie fucking you until he finishes, never letting you cum, all the while saying the dirtiest things to you. Afterwards, he would unlock the handcuffs and make you cockwarm while he occasionally fucks up into you to keep you on edge. Every once in a while he might even rub your clit and tell you what a good girl you’re being for him.
Let Me
Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Warnings: NSFW, 18+ ONLY, unprotected sex, cockwarming, dirty talk, bit of dom/sub dynamics, teasing / mocking, cream pies (and I guessss nondescript breeding kink by extension??)
You’re shaking and whimpering with need at this point. Your lip quivers and your brows knit and your thighs tense and what does he do? Eddie flips the channel on the tv. He places a soft kiss to your neck and rests his chin on your shoulder to face the glowing screen with your back to his chest. His hard cock nestled securely inside of you.
“E-Eddie…” you whine as quietly as you can. Another kiss is pressed to your neck.
“So full, huh sweetheart?” You moan and nod and his voice is full of a crude approximation of sympathy. “Oh I know, honey, I know. It’s so much for your little cunt.”
“I just…can I…can you p-please…”
“Shhhh sweetheart, we’re doing this now. Doesn’t it feel good?“ Eddie’s hands press down on your hips and swivel you around on his cock ever so slowly. The pressure and motion cause your jaw to drop in a gasp and your head to fall back against his shoulder.
“But wanna cum.” You sound almost petulant and he laughs in response. A rich, low laugh that sends much needed vibrations through your body where you’re joined, making your eyelids flutter.
“Ohhh, you wanna cum?” Eddie asks with fake surprise. As if he hadn’t been intentionally edging you, bringing you to the precipice and yanking you back at the last moment intentionally for the longest while.
“Yes,” you gasp, squirming in his lap. Or doing your best to, seeing as his grip is both effortless and immovable.
“Not enough to feel my dick inside you, honey? This greedy cunt wants to have its cock and cum, too?”
You’d probably laugh at that if you weren’t so far gone but you’re losing it so you just nod frenetically, hands scrabbling for purchase on his thighs. Anything to give you enough leverage to start bouncing yourself on his cock.
“Lemme…let…please,” you huff in frustration. Eddie’s hands slide up from your hips to squeeze at your tits. At the added stimulation you groan, gyrate your hips as best you could. Without his hands anchoring you down, you make more progress this time and you feel extra wetness dew around his cock inside you. You receive pinches to your nipples as penance for your liberty taking.
“Aww, wanna cum so bad you’re trying to just get yourself off on my cock?” His mocking tone sets you off more and you whimper again wordlessly. One of his hands leaves your breast and slides down to the apex of your spread legs to rub at your clit. “Why would you do that when you could have me play with you?”
“Oh god. Yes. Play with me,” you beg breathlessly.
“Oh sweetheart, what do you think I’ve been doing?” You can hear the humor but you barely register the words, instead abandoning all self control and jiggling yourself restlessly so that you bounce shallowly on his cock. “Getting a little impatient. A shame - you’ve been such a good girl.”
“I…I am a good girl,” you practically sob. His lips are at your ear, shushing you.
“Shhhh I know you are, baby. Took my cum so well. Keeping it up inside you so nice and warm. Making you feel so good and stuffed, yeah?”
He’d pushed his spend back into you with his fingers after pulling out following his last orgasm. Made you jerk him back to hardness with your legs spread in front of him, watching your cum filled pussy as he praised you and grunted. He’d pushed the dripping cum back into with his cock when he couldn’t take it anymore, and he was right, you do feel so full.
Eddie’s finger on your clit hits a new rotational rhythm and you spasm in his grasp, your abdomen clenching and pussy tightening around his cock.
“Mmm pressed this little button right, huh?”
“Yes!”
“Gonna cum if I let you, sweetheart?”
“Oh god oh fuck, Eddie let me, let me please…”
Eddie placed another sweet kiss to the side of your neck before whispering.
“Alright sweetheart, let me have it.”
And you fall apart for him on the spot.

Pathetic
Joe Burrow x Reader
Joe and reader see each other again years later
Tumblr media
“Well thanks, Michelle! It was good to see you.” You smile and grab your bag from the older ladies hands. “I’m glad we caught up on the Athens, Ohio drama.” You laughed.
“Good to see you too. Don’t wait 5 years before you come back next time!” She called after you.
You were back in your home town, Athens, OH for the weekend dealing with a family dilemma. Athens was a small town, it really only had 2 main roads, both lines with gas stations, locally owned shops, and a few hotels. You grew up shopping at this same grocery store. Michelle had worked here since you were little and she recognized you the second you walked in. It was great to catch up with an old friend, but you were ready to escape this little town. You had stopped to grab a few things before heading to the hotel across the street for the night.
With another quick smile and wave, you pressed your back against the door to open it before it was quickly pulled away from you, causing you to lose your balance and almost fall backwards.
“Shit. Sorry!” Familiar hands reached up and helped steady you.
“Its ok.” You turned and were immediately frozen in shock. “Joe.” You gasped.
“What… oh my go—“ he nervously fiddled with his hands. “Hey.” He greeted you, clearly caught off guard. “What are you doing here?”
“Family stuff.” You nervously spit out. “What about you? Don’t you have practice or something?” You questioned.
“Bye week. Came home to support the local football team in play offs.” He put his hands in his pockets. “Are you staying at your parents?”
“No. Actually have a room at the hotel across the street.” You nodded your head in that direction. “I know it’s not the fanciest but it has a bed, and TV, and AC..” you nervously blabber. “Actually was just headed back to grab a drink and some dinner.”
Joe turned to look at the hotel before his eyes met yours again. “I’ll walk you over there.”
“Joe.” You laughed. “It’s literally 50 feet away. I’ll be fine.”
“I know… I just… would you… do you wanna catch up? Let me buy you a drink. It’s been what? 5 years since we’ve seen each other?” His eyes anxiously look around.
“Yeah sure.” You smile. “We probably have some catching up to do.”
You and Joe had dated for 4 years before you both left for colleges across the country from each other. He was now an NFL Quarterback and you were a wedding photographer. The breakup was messy, neither of you really got closure, and you hadn’t spoken since.
You followed Joe across the street and slid into the booth across from him. The room was dimly lit, the table sticky with booze, and the waitress was nosy. It was clear she recognized Joe, but he gave her one look after she dropped off your first round of drinks and made it clear she wouldn’t bother you both.
“So.” He cleared his throat. “How have you been? What’re you up to these days.”
You pressed your glass of wine to your lips and took a sip. “I’ve been good. Super busy. Started my own wedding photography business and basically spend all my time editing pictures.”
“Wow.” His eyes were wide. “Congratulations. I know that was always your dream.”
“Speaking of dreams, congrats to you Mr. Quarterback.” You teased.
He laughed and took a drink, shaking his head. “Yeah. It’s been a crazy ride.” A smile spread across his face. If there was one thing you still admired about Joe it was how humble he was. He’s graduated college less than a year ago and was already leading an NFL team to victory. “So, do you have a husband? Boyfriend?” He paused. “Girlfriend? Significant other?”
You laughed. “No, just me right now.” Your cheeks turned bright red. “Are you seeing someone?”
“Yeah.” He flashed the gold band on his ring finger. “Got married last year, just welcomed our first little one a few months ago.”
“Holy cow!” Your heart was crushed. “Congrats!” You faked a smiled and motioned to the waitress another round of drinks was needed. “Tell me about them!” You really didn’t want more details, but were just trying to be nice.
“My wife”, he flipped his phone around and his Lock Screen lit up, flashing a perfect picture of his beautiful wife and precious baby, “is truly superwomen. She’s taken on the roll of mom and NFL wife without an issue.” He smiled. “And baby Scarlett is just perfect.”
“You have a beautiful family.” You admitted. “Are they here with you?”
“No, just me. Hard to travel with a new born.” He looked at his phone again. “Actually if you don’t mind, I’m gonna go call them quick and say goodnight?” You nodded and he excused himself from the table.
You quickly finished your second glass of wine. Not sure if your face was hot from the alcohol or because you were holding back so many emotions. 5 years ago there was no doubt in your mind you would be Joes wife. But here you are, in a stuffy hotel bar single and talking about his newborn.
“Can I actually just buy a bottle?” You questioned as the waitress made her way around again. “And he’ll take another as well.” You motioned to Joes empty cup as she made her way back behind the bar to get your request.
Your face was buried in your phone as you googled Joe and his wife.
“Ordered me another I see.” Joe smirked as he sat back down across from you.
You quickly stashed your phone back in your purse. “I figured you’d be game for another round.” You laughed.
You and Joe spent the next few hours catching up, sharing drinks, and laughing about all of your old memories. The bar would be closing soon and you needed to get to bed, you had a long drive ahead of you tomorrow.
“I’ll walk you to your room.” Joe helped you from your seat, both of you stumbling and extremely tipsy.
“Thanks, Joe.” You slurred and took his hand.
You slipped your way into the elevator and up to the 7th floor before leading Joe down the hallway to your room. “Here it is.” You turned to him.
Joe grabs you around the waist, his hands shaking as though he might break you.
“Do you want to come in?” You whisper, your eyes locked on his.
He nods, his fingers still trembling and locked in your hips.
“You know I’m not going to break, right? I’m not as delicate as you think I am.” You giggle.
“I still feel like I’m going to break you.” His grip loosens even more. “I can’t believe I’m doing this. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be back here and-“
You place a finger to his lip, silencing him. “Kiss me.” You whisper.
Joe crashes your lips together. His hands hungrily tracing every inch of your body. He lifts you up and without hesitation you wrap your legs around his hips, falling onto him as he sits on the edge of the bed before laying back.
You spend the rest of the night tangled up with Joe, his lips attacking yours.
“You ever think about us?” Joe asks after your long night. Your both laying in bed as the sun peaks through the curtains.
“Of course I do.” You answer, your voice horse and your lips swollen. “I think a lot about how timing is everything. We had the love, we had the whole universe. We just weren’t ready for each other.”
You both look at each other. And just like back then, there is so much love in your eyes. And somehow, the timing is still not right. And it seems that’s how things will always be for you and Joe, your timing will always be a little off.
“I think you need to go.” You clear your throat and break the stare between you two.
“What do you mean?” Joe pulls you into him.
“This isn’t right. We both know that. I really think you need to go. You have a wife and a family Joe. This isn’t fair.”
“What’s not fair,” he says, rolling away from you and throwing the comforter off of his body, “is that your about of put your clothes on and force me to leave this room.” He stands from the bed. “And I don’t know why.”
You stare at him, eyes wide and nervous. “Joe.” You say softly. “This isn’t right. You have to go. You need to.”
He plants a kiss on your cheek. “I still believe we’ll get our second chance. Somehow, someway we’ll find each other again. It’s pathetic, really, how much I still hope it’s you and me in the end.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis : not much tbh, pw/p ! angry jongho comes home to prone bone his girl dressed in all leather and a dominating attitude.
A/N : srry its another repost BUT it’s potentially one of my favourites i ever posted so i hope ribo nation enjoys me being insane for mr choi jongho, round two :)) warnings under the cut !
wc: 1,733.
Tumblr media
Warnings: pet names(atta girl?, sir), angry jongho he’s dominant mmm, clothed sex on his behalf, hes kinda aggressive, brief spanking, stripping, reader has love handles, manhandling, premature ejaculation, creampies, mentions of over stimulation.
"atta girl, just like that"
You thank the stars for the miracle they graced you with today- an angry Jongho still clad in leather from top to bottom, pissed off about whatever happened on stage today. Usually you would work through his emotions with him in a much healthier manner. A strong meal or sleep, anything other than the urges you're currently letting him delve into.
"Fuck, you're so pretty la-" he snarls, voice carrying a rough edge in his frustrations, "-lay there all pretty for me".
A feeble sound of agreement struggles to leave you, face smushed into the thick duvet on your bed, "hmp- all for you Jongho". You know he's satisfied by your response when a meaty hand lands a brutal smack to your behind, pausing afterwards to grope at the flesh and rub at the reddening skin.
He barely gave you time to look at him, nevermind question him when he came home today, brows pulled low and close on his forehead as he made his way to you with loud steps- feet still sporting the heavy boots he wore in performances.
"Jongho?" you address him, mild intimidation growing by the second as he stalks towards you, forcing you to tilt your head and maintain direct eye contact. He stops right before you. Pelvis inline with your face and you'd be lying if you said it wasn't making your stomach flutter.
He gestures a thumb toward the bedroom before he speaks for the first time, tone commanding,
"Up, Now."
Oh you're in for a treat. You don't mess him around either, leaving your spot on the sofa at lighting speed and making sure to plant a fat kiss on his cheek as you ascend- giggling as you bound down the hallway. A fake salute being thrown his way.
"yes sir!"
He strides into the room a few moments later, clearly taking a moment to shed one of his layers- long jacket left strewn across the floor somewhere. Jongho pauses by the foot of the bed, rolling his sleeves up to his elbows as he does. You throb at the sight. His forearms flexing deliciously as he works on the opposite arm.
Carrying on, he idly fiddling with his buttons as he speaks, "Clothes off, spread your legs for me".
You do as you're told, his eyes raising to meet yours. Thin and dangerous as they watch you begin to strip before him. You're not wearing much anyway, already dressed for bed in skimpy shorts and one of your lovers t-shirts.
Starting with your lower half, you begin shimming the fabric over the curve of your hips before you realise you have no idea how to make this appear sexy with him watching you like this. He usually undresses you himself- or he's so close he can't see the awkward shimmy you have to do when you reach your knees.
Jongho's staring daggers into you and how you chose to uncover yourself is probably the last thing rattling round his head. You decided to just pull them off fast, lay on your back briefly to give you the leverage you need.
Once dangling off your ankle, you give them a few experimental swings before tossing them toward Jongho cheekily.
You fear you might have fucked up when he catches them, slamming them onto the floor with no change in his facial expressions at all. He drops his hands to his hips- one cocked higher than the other as he alleviates the weight on his non dominant leg. He says nothing, just stares at you.
The shirt follows next, crossing your arms over your front as you begin pulling it up and over. The interuption allows you a small breather from the intensity coming from Jongho and you take full advantage of it, using the darkness to steady your heartbeat as much as you can in a couple seconds. It's pointless. Once your shirts off and you're sat upright on the bed as you were, Jongho's already started working on his own attire- loosing his black shirt off one button at a time.
You won't need any prep.
Leather pants suctioned so tight to the muscles of his thighs he may aswell be vacuum packed into them. Shirt left on but hanging open. It's unfair how good he looks almost fully clothed and you clamp your own thighs together at the visual.
He nods. An action entirely caused by you're excitement being made evident, "turn over". And you do, forearms on the mattress as you arch your back, hips raised as you sway them from side to side for Jongho's prying stare. Hitting it from behind is typically his preferred approach when the red mist settles over his mind.
The bed dips as Jongho joins you, knees shifting to rebalance yourself as he gets himself situated, using you waiting your hip for stability- warm hand grasping onto one of your love handles, the other cupping between your legs.
Thats all he gives. A fleeting reminder his intentions are filthy this evening before he pull his fingers away completly. In the blink of an eye, Jongho has swiped your knees from beneath you. An attractive display of his strength as he forces you to lie stiff as a plank, flat to the bed.
You turn your head to lie on one side so you can breath, a hard feat when Jongho's man handling you like he is. You can't even see him- hiding just beyond the boundries of your peripheral vision.
He straddles your thighs with his own, leather sticking and causing frictions as he moves, giving himself the room he needs to inch his zipper down and free himself fully- thick head of his cock slapping agaist your ass with a hiss.
The intial penitration is a little awkward, your legs almost completly pushed shut and restricting Jongho's path to your cunt but he manages eventually. Bullying his way between your skin and thrusting into you with one swift movement. Bed shifting once more as he lowers his upper half to crowd over you from above, weight resting on his knuckles.
His hips are slow, deep- each roll dragging the breath from your lungs, rocking you up the bed slightly.
Zipper of his pants rubbing along the base of your asscheek with each move, becoming almost painful as it repeats over and over again. The sensations have you sopping. Slick noises filling the room as Jongho continues to torture you.
"You like that?". He sounds breathless, cocky edge in his voice being disrupted by a grunt. "You need more?"
You shake your head as much as you can in such a constricted positition, screaming as he speeds up a small bit.
Jongho's lower abdomen is slamming against you with each rut of his hips, trousers squeaking as they chafe on your bare skin. Hot and tender, skin richocheting up to the base of your spine. He's fucking you like an animal.
Jongho suddenly stops, completly still bar his legs squeezing you impossibly tight.
"Fuc- fuck sake"
He sounds annoyed- and then you feel it. Cum dribbling out of the junction where you meet and smearing across his front. Emotions so in far into overdrive that he lasted a matter of minutes. You don't dare move. You don't speak, unsure of how this is meant to play out now.
There's a whistle in the air as he sucks a breathe between his teeth, choosing to ignore that he'd just came inside you- prematurely.
Jongho picks up his rhythm a second time, the slick of both your combined excitement evident in the shine spanning the material of his pants.
Your eyes roll back in your head, why Jongho decided to crank this position out today you have no idea but a small part of your hopes he comes home angry more often. You don't want it to end but your skins on fire.
Lifting you hips just enough to shimmey a hand between yourself and the blankets, you begin rubbing slow circles on your clit, finger nudging harder with every thrust when Jongho shoves you deeper into the bed.
The noises your cunts making are obscene. Wet and sloppy as it repeatedly sucks him in-drawing the pair of you dangerously close to your releases. Poor Jongho must be overstimulated now having already came once.
He sounds pussy drunk when he does speak, "you finally cumming,hmm?"- pulling out almost entirely with each thrust before ramming himself back into your warmth.
"you gonna cum?". He sounds manic. Panting like he's just ran a marathon.
You bite your lip before you answer, voice wavering when you tell him your almost there. Jongho moves one hand to place it on your lower back, thumb resting at the top of crease between your cheeks- new position allowing him to rock his hips faster.
The chorus of noises is getting louder, skin on leather almost, almost, drowning out the pretty groans leaving you boyfriends mouth. Much rougher than the sweet noises that he was making just hours prior on stage.
"I'm gonna come again, you better come with me too I cant keep this up much longer".
You whimper in acknowledgement, cunt clenching tight around him and thats all he needs. Dick surging forward once more as he empties himself within you for the second time in 10 minutes- heat of his load triggering your own orgasm.
It's violent. Takes a while for the tremours to dwindle enough that you can withdraw your hand from your clit and place it by your side.
Jongho leans down to kiss a line up the centre of your back, stopping as he reaches your neck to press his lips to your damp skin for a moment longer and mumble into you.
"Thank you".

ANOTHER JAMES POTTER THOUGHT LMAOOO. k. so. hear me out. fake dating!James potter. sirius brings it up, the idea of you and James fake dating, cus youre all nervous about going to a family event cus it'll just be more comments about your lack of love life constantly. so sirius mentions that maybe you should just bring someone and say that theyre ur bf; it'd be easier AND you wouldnt be alone, muddling your way through awkward social conversations and such. remus, surprisingly, agrees with sirius when you laugh at the idea. ever the empath, he softly explains how it could be a great idea for you, and it'd solve a few issues at the same time. James doesnt really say anything till sirius suggests you bring him as your fake boyfriend, and James is immediately lighting up like "im your boyfriend??? yeah??" and he just.. cannot be told, no matter how many times you stress that he'd be a fake boyfriend, he just repeats that hes your boyfriiiieeeennnddd though. plain and simple.
he definitely takes his role seriously. makes excuses like, "we have to practice kissing, id kiss you ALOT as your boyfriend, yknow. and I dont want you to freeze up if I kiss you for the first time and you dont know how to react. we MUST practice." also holdsur hand all the time now and hes shameless about it - "but lovely, im ur boyfriend im meant to hold ur hand, cmonnn". even gets jealous like a real boyfriend would now (not that he didn't before, but now he lets it show).
at the event, also has a habit of stealing you away and keeping up the boyfriend role, im saying he lays it on THICK, doesnt matter if no one else can see it or is paying attention. im talking touchy, he probably nuzzles his face down into yours alot,constant love sick expression on his face. its gets so bad that even ur brother is like "wow, didn't realise youd get an actual boyfriend. like, what blackmail do u have on him?? did you finally submit to the devil and curse him or smthn cus Jesus fucking christ sis look at him, hes mooning over you from across the room. seems like an alright bloke though. maybe."
can imagine that hes touchy and sweet and etcetcetc but also. after ur little event is done, he stops joking and pretending, bends down to you and "so can I be your boyfriend now. pleeeaase?? ur auntie even said that I must be a lovely young man.. you think im a lovely young man too, right? so I can be ur boyfriend?? ]: please?"
FAKE DATING JAMES IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TROPES WITH HIM!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE he'd want to 'sell it' just like you mentioned, and he'd plan these insane grandiose gestures that have you melting for real and then you sneak off to a private area and he's giggling like they totally bought it!! and ur weak in the knees like yEah they did!!
you stress so many times to him that he's your fake boyfriend. fake. FAKE. but he absolutely refuses to say that, he calls it method acting. he's gotta get in character, he can't tell himself it's fake all the time or it'll seem fake!
no bc even before you get to your parents house he's like okay so let's practice our kisses. we're gonna need casual cheek kisses, the 'i-don't-want-to-make-a-scene kiss', the 'we-think-we're-alone' kiss, the forehead kiss, the hand kiss, the air kiss- and he's rambling on about all the ways he's gonna smooch you up and your cheeks are on fire.
the days leading up to the event he does practice! whenever you walk out of a room he grabs your hand and tugs you down to kiss your cheek, he makes you kiss him goodnight every night before bed, he even insists that you give it all you've got when no one else is around so that you get comfortable being passionate with him.
he greets your mom like the perfect gentleman, bringing her a bouquet and offering to help with dinner. but when she politely declines the help he sits on the floor at your feet while you're on the couch, spreads ur knees so that he can sit between your calves, and hangs out with the kiddos on the floor. he's their big jungle gym, constantly has children crawling all over him, and they definitely ask him scandalized questions like 'you KISS her?!?!?!' and then he gets this big shit-eating grin on his face and leans up to lay a big fat wet juicy smooch on your lips and they all chorus 'ewww!' and run off to giggle about it somewhere else. it leaves james with no more playmates, so he hoists himself up onto the couch and wraps an arm around you, proceeding to be sickeningly sweet and domestic and cute. definitely a nuzzler, ur so right <33333
YES THE TEASING FROM EVERYONE ELSE SKGNG ur grandma is like 'i'm glad you found a good man before i die' and ur auntie is like 'does he have an older brother??' everyone is enamored by this loverboy you've brought home, and he plays the part so well that no one ever realizes it was fake.
which is good, because it isn't for long. he definitely begs for you to give him a chance at being your real boyfriend, but you don't bother even giving him the chance, you just tell him you already know he'll be a fantastic real boyfriend because he went so above and beyond when it was only supposed to be fake :') ur so far gone for him and it's the best night of his life, i guarantee it :')

Neverending Nights
written for Gn!Mc (you/yours)
genre: hurt/comfort
pairing: Mammon x MC (can be seen as platonic/friendship)
Cw: depression implication, self-loathing, FOMO, rejection sensitivity, reader is gn but coded as shorter than Mammon.
"I sincerely apologize, Mc, but I will have to postpone our date tonight." Lucifer sighed, rubbing his temple. "Diavolo urgently needs me at the castle to review RAD's cost analyses and approve a budget for next quarter- especially considering the cost for repairs has been much more significant this quarter."
"That's ok." You mumble mournfully. "I understand."
Lucifer winces, feeling the disappointment glaring through in your tone of voice. "I do hope you know I will be making this up to you ten fold when I have the opportunity, Mc."
You smile weakly before wishing him luck at his meeting and returning to your room. It didn't hurt- at least, not at first. Lucifer was always busy- it couldn't be helped, after all. Besides, he always made due on his promise to reschedule your quality time together- all the brothers did. They valued your time...right?
"Sorry Mc, I'm at a photoshoot with Devilstyle right now! Talk later, mmkay? <3"
"I'm at a banquet to honor one of my close associates. Maybe tomorrow?"
"MC! I'm currently in line at the music shop on Dogma Street! Surce Frenzy is here signing autographs. Can you believe it?! The line is so long though...I probably wont be back until morning LOL!"
"Fangol practice is running late. I won't be home for awhile..."
"Too...tired..."
Tears begin to well up behind your eyes. Even your friends at Purgatory Hall were all out together at a movie without even thinking to invite you... The breaking point, though, was the fact that Mammon didn't bother to respond to your texts at all.
Your stomach feels heavy as you set your phone to the side. Every rejection from your found family replayed in your head on a loop. Part of you was sure it was a coincidence that they all happened to be too busy for you right now, and that this is just what happens from time to time. Another part of you, though, was reminded of all the other times you were cast aside, ignored, forgotten, and rejected by others.
Your kind weren't exactly cruel to you, but there was a sense of belonging shared amongst humans that you just didn't really feel with very many of them. And part of you was convinced that they felt it too, which is why you often felt left out of...well...everything during your time there, and why the Devildom, and the friends you made here, had felt so much more like home to you.
But now, here you lay- curled into yourself in the corner of your bed. The same hurt from back then worming its way from your stomach, to your heart, and up through your throat. Your entire body felt tight and tense; the only catharsis it allowed was from the shuddered breaths and muffled cries that escaped your lips. Darkness shrouded your vision, not even the light from your phone was enough to permeate it. The blanket you've surrounded yourself with closes further and further in on you, slowly making its way over your face and shielding you from the outside.
Had you done something wrong? Maybe you unintentionally said something insulting about one of them and it spread around the group. Did they all hate you now? Maybe your "new shiny object" charm wore off, and they were bored of you- like when a child gets a bunny for Easter and their parents end up getting rid of it after a month because they lost interest. Or maybe you were never really interesting to begin with. They could have been faking it, just to get on Diavolo's good side. Or maybe they were using you...There definitely was evidence to suggest that could be the case. So they'll come back when they need something again...But maybe they never will? Maybe they'll send you back to the human world and forget all about you...
The thoughts hurled their way through your mind rapidly. Somehow, you managed to sift through what you thought to be the plethora of evidence that supported each one of your theories. It didn't make sense for all of them to be correct of course, but you believed it was more likely than sheer coincidence. How else would it explain why Mammon and Belphie just ignored your messages?
You tighten your grip on the blanket you bundled yourself into, pulling the fabric down over your eyes. The self-deprecation and rejections replayed in your thoughts like a broken record. The inside of your mind was so loud, you barely heard the sound of your door flinging open and slamming against the wall.
...barely.
"Oi, human! I just got back from winnin' big at the Casino. Ya won't believe how much I got this time!" Mammon quipped loudly as he strolled into the dark room. The light from the hall spilled in, illuminating your lumpy figure under the blankets. Mammon cocked his head to the side as he noticed you, fiddling with a small box that he was hiding behind his back.
You don't reply, only curl into yourself further, praying for him to go away. You were certain that he was only here to brag, and hadn't even glanced at the message you sent him about wanting to spend time together. Clearly, the Casino and his greed meant more to him. He was a demon, after all.
"Aye! I'm talking to you, Human! This aint no time to be sleepin'! C'mon!" Mammon paused his movements as he reaches the edge of your bed. His brow now furrowed with a mixture of confusion, irritation, and concern. After you don't respond a second time, his anxiety begins to spike.
"What, are ya sick or somethin'?" Mammon shakes you a little to roughly with one hand, but the action becomes more gentle when he finally hears your sniffling, despite your best attempts to hide it. "Hey...what'sa matter?"
You shake your head enough to where you're sure he can see the movement from beneath the covers, but still say nothing. Mammon's frown deepens on his face, now heavily concerned with whatever had you to the point of tears.
"Did someone..? I swear if anyone dared lay a damn hand on ya, their head would be mounted on The Great Mammon's wall!" He growls protectively. Mammon squeezes your shoulder gently, but is taken aback when you swat his hands away.
"G-go away." You mutter.
Mammon blinks, taking a minute to process what he'd heard you say. "Huh?"
"I said: Go. Away." Your voice is louder as you snap at him, finally revealing your face from underneath the blanket cocoon you had nestled your woe into.
Mammon's eyes widen at the state of your tear-stained face. "Hey now...I ain't goin' anywhere 'til you tell me what's eatin' ya."
You sigh, folding yourself back under the blankets without another word. Mammon stands there, confused, trying to think of what to do. Clearly you weren't going to make him leave, despite saying you wanted to be alone. For a minute he ponders what could have you so upset. After his mind continues to draw blanks, he pulls out his phone, trying to see if you had maybe left any clues in the group chat. After reading through the innumerable messages declining the request to spend time with you and you're dejected "that's ok..." in response, he begins to put the pieces together.
"I'm here now, Mc..." Mammon clears his throat, sitting at the edge of your bed. "So...er...we can hang out, if ya want..."
Again, you don't reply to him. The only thing swimming through your mind now is the pity he must feel for you, seeing you like this. He probably thinks you're pathetic.
Mammon shifts his jaw. He hadn't often seen you in a state like this, but something about being lonely must have set you off. He thinks back to all of the times he himself had been lonely, and everyone else was too busy for him. The difference for him, though, was he found comfort in greed- that was his way of feeling less lonely. The casino, the horse track, and even online gambling dens were crowded with demons. Sure, many of them would roll their eyes at him or make snide remarks when he passed them by, but at least he wasn't alone.
He lets out a sigh, fidgeting with the box in his hand. "I'm sorry Mc. I didn't know you were so lonely. If I woulda known, I'd've come right home and skipped the Casino..." He pauses, glancing at your form that lay hidden underneath the blankets. "..but, I also wouldn't've been able to get ya this."
You barely have time to register what he says before a box is shoved into your face. You blink a few times before carefully taking it out of his hands. You swipe the blankets away from your face, taking the chance to study Mammon's intentions. You were surprised again to see him blushing, now turning his head away from you. With an uncertain breath, you open the box. A small gasp escapes your lips, and you snap your attention back to Mammon, who's blush seemed to have spread to his ears.
Inside the box is two sparkly gold necklaces, the heart-shaped pendants appear to be two halves that connect in the center with a magnet, showing that the wearer of each has a "half" of the other person's. "Partners in Crime" is spelled out in black cursive when the pendants are connected to each other. The gift seems befitting of a pair of middle schoolers who labeled each other as best-friends.
But as juvenile as the gift was in theory, you couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Mammon...this is very sweet."
"Yeah, yeah..." Mammon cleared his throat, trying to hid the reddness deepening on his cheeks. "I- uh- just got it so that other demons wouldn't mess with ya, not cuz I got a crush on ya or somethin'... If they see us wearin' the same necklace, they'll know you belong to the Great Mammon!"
For some reason, the comment doesn't phase you. If he'd said something like that 10 minutes ago, you would have been convinced he wanted nothing to do with you, but the gesture of the gift and the adorable flustered state he was in was proof enough that he cared about you...so much so that he went out of his way to pick up a good quality set of jewelry for you both to wear together with his winnings from his gambling. Instead of acknowledging his words, you hug him tightly.
"I...uh..." Mammon interrupted your thoughts, looking down at you with a sheepish smile on his face. "I still got some money left over from my winnings...did ya wanna order a pizza and watch some movies? I ain't got anythin' to do for the rest of the night and-"
"That sounds perfect." You smile warmly up at him. "Thank you."
Mammon finally returns your hug, squeezing you tightly. "Good. You ain't goin' anywhere cuz I got ya all to myself now, ya got that?! And...no more cryin' like that either...The Great Mammon's gonna make all yer problems go away!!"
You let out a small laugh, nuzzling into his chest. "Sure, Mammon..Sure."

THIS LOVE - epilogue | you come back to what you need
Tumblr media
pairing: ben chilwell x reader
rating: T
word count: 2.8k
summary: you and ben settle into life as a couple 🩵
A/N: as promised, the epilogue 🫶🏼 thank you for reading, and i'm going to be working on some oneshots now that this story is complete so stay tuned for more ben content! x
previous chapter | view all chapters
“You’re telling me I spent months cultivating your public image as a couple only for you to go become an actual couple?”
You hear Ben’s publicist Shreya’s voice coming through the phone, partly because he’s just put it on speaker and partly because you’re laying on top of him.
You’ve been mostly in this position for much of the past week. Ever since you and Ben confessed your feelings for one another, you’ve been pretty much inseparable - unless you’re at work or Ben’s at training, you’ve been holed up at his house ignoring the rest of the world. 
You didn’t make your first public appearance as a couple - a real one, that is - until yesterday, when you attended Ben’s game at the Bridge. They beat Bournemouth 4-0, with a goal and an assist from Ben in one of his best performances all season, and you couldn’t resist jumping into his arms and kissing him senseless when you met him on the pitch afterward. 
Naturally, the photos spread like wildfire over the internet, and although the public was already used to the idea of your relationship, your phone has been blowing up today with messages from your close friends and family who were in on the fake relationship but not yet aware of its newly real status.
You know you’re gonna have to call at least your parents at some point today to explain why there’s a photo of you and your best friend making out in The Sun - although you know they’ll be thrilled, since they already see Ben as an honorary son - but you haven’t responded to anyone yet. 
In fact, you haven’t done much of anything since you got home from the game last night - well, except your new boyfriend.
“Erm, yeah,” Ben chuckles, running his hand over your bare back in a repetitive motion as he talks to Shreya. 
He figured he at least owed an explanation, so he took his publicist’s call to catch her up to speed and let her know that he wouldn’t require her to bolster your appearance as a couple anymore. 
There’s a pause on the other end, and you have to stifle a giggle against Ben’s chest when you hear Shreya’s sigh of exasperation. 
“To be fair, it was the easiest job I ever had trying to convince people you were together, so perhaps I should have seen that one coming,” she says. “Well, good for you, Ben. You sound happy, and you were brilliant yesterday.”
“Thanks,” Ben grins, his eyes glued to yours. “I am very happy.”
Your heart thumps in your chest and your eyes tear up slightly at his earnest, lovestruck expression. You can’t resist shuffling even closer and pressing a kiss to his cheek, followed by one to his jaw, then a few more down his neck.
“Do you want to go over your GQ interview next week?” Shreya asks. “You know, the reason you pay me?”
You’re still distracting Ben with soft kisses to his neck that have made his eyes flutter shut and his focus drift.
“Sorry, I - uh, I’m gonna have to call you back, Shreya. Thanks again, cheers.”
Ben hangs up and tosses his phone to the side, immediately flipping you over and attacking your face and neck with little kisses until you’re giggling uncontrollably. 
“Ben,” you sigh as he’s sucking on your collarbone in a way that you know will leave a mark if you let him. “We should probably get ready.”
As wonderful and perfect as the past week has been, spending all your free time tangled in these very bed sheets and experiencing things you’ve never felt before, Harvey is hosting an event for his clothing brand later that you can’t miss. 
You’re not particularly eager to leave your little bubble of joy in Ben’s house, but you figure you owe it to one of the friends responsible for that happiness to turn up for him today. 
“I know,” Ben groans, his hand travelling low on your back and sending a shiver up your spine. “In fifteen minutes?”
“We’re already going to be late,” you point out, glancing at his watch. “It’ll take an hour to get there and I still don’t know what I’m wearing-“
“You’ll look amazing in anything,” Ben insists, leaving more kisses up your neck, “or nothing…”
“Ben,” you say with slightly more resolve, even though his lips are making it hard to think of anything else right now. “We can’t avoid all social plans forever. As much as I love being alone with you.”
Ben pulls back and you think you’ve finally got him to focus, but there’s a look in his eyes that you recognize all too well from your lifetime of knowing him. It’s the same look he has before a big game or in an argument - he isn’t going down without a fight.
“Please, baby,” he says in a soft whisper near your ear that he’s very quickly learned is one of your many weaknesses when it comes to him. “Ten minutes?”
The other thing about those big blue eyes that you know so well is that they just so happen to be one of your other greatest weaknesses, and when he smiles at you, you know you’re a lost cause. 
“Ten minutes,” you agree, grabbing his face and kissing him again before he can respond.
It’s actually closer to twenty-five by the time you actually roll out of bed, and another twenty when you realize you both need a shower and end up getting distracted once again, so you have to hurry to get ready.
One perk of dating your best friend is that you already have a closet full of clothes at his place, and you pick out a simple dark blue dress that you know looks good on you. As you’re finishing up your makeup, Ben walks into the bathroom freshly changed into a black t-shirt and jeans, and you don’t miss the way his eyes light up at the sight of you.
“You look absolutely gorgeous,” Ben murmurs as his eyes rake over your body in the mirror from behind you. “I’ve always loved this dress on you.”
“Thanks, Benji,” you say softly, putting down your makeup brush and smoothing out the wrinkles in your dress. You can’t help but blush a bit at the thought of Ben checking you out long before admitting how much he fancies you. “Are you ready?”
He doesn’t respond, instead just stepping closer and wrapping his arms around you from behind for a moment. Despite the time crunch, you relax into him and breathe a small sigh of contentment.
You can’t help but admire the sight of the two of you in the mirror, his face buried in your neck and inhaling your scent as you hold his hands that have settled on your stomach. 
“I still can’t believe I get to do this now,” he whispers, echoing the same feeling running through your soul. 
After unknowingly yearning for this for so long, maybe your whole life, it feels so right to finally fall into this simple intimacy with Ben. It feels like coming home. 
You turn in his arms, intending to lean in for a quick kiss before forcing the pair of you out the door, but you instead feel overcome by the sudden urge to wrap your arms around his waist and bury your face in his chest. He hugs you back without a word, pressing a few soft kisses to your hair.
“I love you,” he murmurs, his thumb rubbing circles on your spine. “I’ve never been this happy before.”
“I love you too,” you mumble against his chest before pulling back just enough to cup his face and see your whole world between your hands. “And neither have I. This week has been…perfect.” 
He nods in agreement, letting out a small sigh. “Are you worried it’s going to be weird when we leave our little bubble? I don’t think the game yesterday counts since we were basically apart until you pounced on me afterward.”
You slap his chest playfully and roll your eyes before shaking your head.
“It might be a bit of an adjustment, but not really. I mean, we’ve basically been doing this for months now in public.”
“Sure, but it was fake then,” Ben points out. 
“Yeah, but the feelings were there,” you say, your fingers running through his hair in a way that makes him smile sleepily. “Now I get to love you publicly and privately, and I can’t think of anything that could feel more right than that.”
Ben’s eyes light up before he closes them to dive in for a kiss, his soft lips lingering on yours for a few moments before he pulls away. 
“You’re right, love,” he says. “Now, we should probably go, because the longer I look at you in that dress the more I wanna take it off.”
You smirk and pat his cheek before walking away, knowingly giving him a great view of your arse on the way out. 
-
An hour later, after singing loudly to the pop songs on the radio and laughing so hard your ribs hurt the entire drive to Soho, you and Ben are standing in the crowded restaurant where the launch of Harvey’s new fashion line is being celebrated. 
A bunch of your friends are here, all of whom are enjoying this opportunity to tease you - with love, of course. 
Tom caught you stealing a few kisses in the corner of the room less than five minutes after your arrival, so you probably deserve the teasing. Plus, you’re so happy that you don’t care. 
After circling the room a bit and congratulating Harvey, you’re now chatting with Anish and his girlfriend Hannah in a booth. You have lots of room, but you’re still pressed to Ben’s side, his arm around your shoulders. 
As he and Anish chat about the clothing line, you’re content to just listen to Ben’s voice and enjoy the warmth of his body against yours. You occasionally press a kiss to his jaw and he’ll stop talking for a moment and smile at you, which makes you want to do it again. 
After a while, Hannah suggests going to get another drink, and the boys nod in agreement.
“I have to use the loo, can you grab me something?” you ask Ben, and he nods and pecks your lips quickly before heading over to the bar.
After using the washroom, you’re eagerly making your way back through the room to find your boyfriend when you bump into a familiar figure.
“Ryan?”
Ryan, the well-dressed man standing before you, just so happens to be your ex. You went out for a few months two years ago before ending things fairly mutually and amicably.
You’re surprised to see him for a moment, but he does work in the fashion industry, so it makes sense that he would be here.
“Y/N, wow, it’s been ages,” Ryan says, giving you a quick hug. “How are you?”
“I’m good, still working at the hospital,” you say with a smile. “Are you still at the magazine?”
“No, I actually moved to Paris, just in town for the week visiting some friends,” he explains. 
“Wow, Paris!” you remark. “That’s amazing. Do you like it there? Are you seeing anyone?”
“Of course I like it, it’s Paris,” he chuckles. “And yeah, I just moved in with my girlfriend Claire. You?”
As if on cue, Ben comes up beside you and presses a kiss to your cheek before passing you a gin and tonic, your favourite, with a water for himself in his other hand.
“Here you go, babe - oh,” Ben’s face falls slightly when he sees who you’re talking to. He was never a fan of Ryan, often calling him pretentious or making fun of how artsy he was, though looking back now that may have just been jealousy. “Ryan.”
“Well, that answers that question,” Ryan says with a small smirk. “I have to say, I’m glad you two finally got your shit together.”
“What?” you ask, furrowing your eyebrows.
“I mean, it was painfully obvious you were in love with him back when we were dating,” he elaborates. “You never stopped talking about him and you saw him more than you saw me.”
You can’t help but blush a bit when Ben looks at you with a slightly raised eyebrow, despite the fact that you’ve literally spent the last week demonstrating exactly how in love with him you are.
“I think you might be exaggerating-“
“I seem to recall you cancelling a date more than once because Ben had a ‘bad game’ and you needed to go round his and cheer him up?” Ryan laughs. “I hated football before that, but it really solidified the hatred.”
Although part of you wants to laugh, cry, or scream at yourself for being so blind to your feelings for Ben, you do also feel a tinge of guilt for dragging guys like Ryan along before you figured things out.
“Sorry about that,” you say, leaning into Ben’s arm that is wrapped protectively around your waist. “It took me a while to realize what was always right in front of me.”
“No worries, it worked out for the best, yeah?” Ryan says, raising his beer to you and Ben. “I’ll see you around, cheers guys.”
As Ryan walks away with a smile on his face and Ben pulls you closer and presses a kiss to your temple, your guilt is replaced by a warmth settling into your chest - everything really did work out. All the wrong turns and detours along the way just led you back to where you always belonged. To Ben.
“So, you never stopped talking about me, huh?” Ben says after a moment, and you can hear the smirk in his voice before you turn to look at him.
“Oh my god,” you roll your eyes, playfully pushing him away and shaking your head. “I literally confessed my undying love for you less than a week ago, you arse.”
Ben just continues to smile at you, setting down his glass so he can wrap his arms around your waist. 
“You’re cute when you’re obsessed with me,” he murmurs, his thumb stroking your hip just enough to drive you crazy. 
“And you’re cute when you’re jealous,” you retort, smirking slightly. “He has a girlfriend in Paris, just so you know.”
“I was not jealous,” Ben insists with furrowed brows. “How can I be jealous when my girl is soooo in love with me-“
You shut him up with a kiss, partly to get him to stop talking and partly because you are in love with him and hearing him call you his girl has reduced your brain to mush. 
You don’t know if this will ever stop - you doubt it - but every nerve in your body is electrified as he kisses you slowly, pouring every bit of love and desire he feels for you into the kiss. It’s not the most passionate one you’ve shared so far, being that you’re surrounded by people, but it’s soft and sweet and more than enough to make your knees go weak and your thoughts blur.
“Ben,” you mumble against his lips, forcing yourself to pull back. “We can’t make out in the middle of Harvey’s work event.”
A small pout forms on Ben’s face, which is so adorable that you have no choice but to peck his lips once more.
“How about my car then?” Ben suggests, a mischievous glint in his eye. 
“Ah, is that why you insisted on taking the Range instead of your flashy new sports car?” 
He nods, gesturing to the car park just outside. “Lots of room in there.”
As much as you don’t want it to work, the thought of what Ben is capable of doing to you in the backseat of his obnoxiously big car is too tantalizing to resist.
You glance around the room to make sure none of your friends are watching before nodding. “You get ten minutes, Benjamin.”
“We’ll see about that,” he grins, grabbing your hand and beginning to drag you toward the exit as you try to contain your lovesick giggles.
As you climb into his car and then into his lap, exchanging messy kisses that are interrupted by your smiles, you can’t believe it took you so long to get to this point. Sure, it’s still kind of terrifying to jump headfirst into a relationship with the person who has been your person since you were kids, but it’s also thrilling.
It’s the beginning of the rest of your life with your best friend, and you have a feeling it’s going to be a very happy one. 
a/n: please let me know what you thought! i hope you all liked the ending :) tag list: @captainwans @amandaaa1025 @bbygrlllllll @ncentic @lunamelona @kathb59 @cinderellawithashoe @batmansb1tch @myheartgoesvroom @chillymountsjess @babygirlbenji @delicateearthquakellama @joyfullyswimmingface @xxenia14 @chaotic-taco-collector-blog @chilwellspulisic @maraudersmap123 @evelinapurmale @freekoalakryptonite

[Rise and Shine] - Owen SSR Card Story Translation
Tumblr media
Ft. Chloe and Akira
Until This Sweet Spell Breaks - Chapter 1
[Castle of Tears]
Tumblr media
Chloe: Hm, maybe I should hang the ribbons here… Or would the flowers look better.
Akira: I think that looks great! The light purple of the lavender goes really well with the carpeting.
That day, the Sage’s Wizards were undertaking a mission at the Castle of Tears.
Chloe and I were decorating the hall in preparation for the Ceremony of Blessings and Gratitude when a figure suddenly appeared before us.
Owen: Ugh, what a drag…
Akira: Owen.
Chloe: Oh Owen! Do you wanna join us?
Owen: In doing what?
Chloe: Decorating the castle of course! The ceremony is tomorrow, isn’t it?
Chloe: The Master Sage and I wanted to help out any way we could, even without magic.
Owen: What a waste of time. Why do all this when I could single-handedly bless this castle right now?
Owen: Take a look and see. <<Quare Morito>>
As Owen casually uttered his spell, a heavy gloom fell upon us.
[Screen fills with miasma]
An eerie chill crept up our spines as the world rapidly bleached of color.
Akira: Huh!? All the lavender is withering up…!
Chloe: Y- You’re right! And the carpet is melting into black sludge…
Chloe: Um, Owen? Are you sure this is a blessing!?
Owen: To me it is.
Owen: I wonder how that slumbering beast will feel waking up to this.
Akira: Probably not very happy…
Chloe: In any case, we need to turn things back! <<Suispicibo Voitingoc>>!
Chloe: Oh, nothing changed…
Chloe: But we gotta do something or the walls are next! One more time…
Owen: Ahaha! Do you really think you stand a chance against my magic?
Owen: <<Cur Memini>>
[Miasma disappears]
Akira: Ah…
Chloe: Everything’s back to normal… What a relief.
Owen: It was always normal. The Master Sage aside, you couldn’t see through such a simple illusion?
Chloe: An illusion…? You mean all that withering and sludge stuff was fake?
Akira: I completely fell for it… It all seemed so real.
Owen: Hehe. Of course it did.
Chloe: Owen…
Owen: Aww, did I make you mad? Are you going to cry? Rage over how pathetically weak you are?
Chloe: Not at all! I was actually struck by how amazing you are!
Owen: What.
Chloe: I was totally convinced the castle was crumbling to pieces. It was terrifying!
Chloe: You’re so good at everything, Owen. I bet if you really blessed this castle, you could put that witch to rest for the next few centuries!
Owen: Hmph… As if I’d do something like that. I only care for torment and chaos.
Owen: What good is attending a ceremony when I could be spreading curses and misfortune?
Chloe: Ok, but don’t you ever get in a party mood?
Chloe: Like, you wanna get all dressed up and wear cute accessories for a special occasion?
Until This Sweet Spell Breaks - Chapter 2
Owen: What are you going on about… How annoying.
Akira: (Is Chloe trying to convince Owen to join tomorrow’s ceremony…?)
Akira: (Actually, knowing him, he probably just wants to play dress-up, but this could be my chance…!)
Akira: Yeah, there’s nothing like looking your best! It really makes you want to get out there and put some good in the world.
Chloe: Right!? You already look great in that outfit, but what if we made you look even better?
Owen: …Hmph.
Owen: Fine, you can try your luck, but I doubt you’ll change my mind.
Owen: I’ve nothing better to do anyways.
Akira & Chloe: Hooray!
Chloe: Alrighty then… <<Suispicibo Voitingoc>>!
As Chloe cast his spell, an assortment of accessories appeared out of thin air including golden buttons, ribbons, red and blue brooches, and lace.
Chloe: Okay, what do you think of this ribbon? The color is so chic right, and it’d be just perfect on you.
Akira: Oh, what about these fake nails? Your hands are really pretty after all.
Owen: I like this one. Its color reminds me of festering meat. And that one looks like a melted eyeball.
Crossing his legs, Owen sat down between us in the hall as we fired suggestions at him.
Although he acted bored, yawning and waving his hand at us from time to time, he didn’t seem to mind our attention at all.
Owen: Now I’m feeling a bit hungry. You don’t happen to have any edible accessories, do you?
Chloe: E- Edible…? I- I don’t think so…
Owen: Must I do everything myself? <<Cur Memini>>
As Owen cast his spell, an assortment of buttons, ribbons, and brooches appeared in our hands.
Chloe: These are gorgeous… Not to mention, they smell really good too, like candy.
Owen: These are sweets I made myself using magic.
Owen: If you’re curious, why not take a little bite? I can’t guarantee you’ll leave with your teeth intact though.
Unconsciously, Chloe and I made eye contact.
With the sugary scent of the accessories enticing our senses, the two of us cautiously lifted one and took a bite.
Chloe: …! This is a cookie!
Chloe: It’s so sweet and delicious… Oh, and this ribbon is made of chocolate!
Akira: You’re right! This brooch tastes just like a madeleine…!
Owen: Hehe. Of course they do; I made them after all. If you’re interested, then you’re more than welcome to keep taking some.
Owen: Why not try this corsage and ring too?
Akira: Wow, really?
Owen: Really. If I can get on your good sides, I’ll be able to eat sweets whenever I want.
Chloe: Wow wow wow! This is incredible! I can’t believe you’re sharing these with us…
Chloe: Hey, can I show the others too?
Owen: Be my guest. They’re yours after all.
Chloe: Yippee! I’ll be back in a jiffy then!
And with that, Chloe happily took off.
Then, I felt a hand reach from behind me, grazing my neck.
Until This Sweet Spell Breaks - Chapter 3
Akira: …!?
Lightly touching the base of my throat, Owen plucked the brooch off my collar.
Owen: What’s wrong? Did you think I’d chop your head off?
Akira: Ah um… N- no. You just startled me, that’s all…
Biting into the brooch, Owen slid his gaze towards me.
It was impossible to tell what lay beneath his expression. However, his eyes seemed to hold a twinkle of delight which inadvertently calmed me down.
Akira: (...That’s good. It seems like Owen’s in a better mood now.)
Akira: (Maybe he really was bored earlier and that’s why he went along with us…)
Owen: Don’t get me wrong. This whole ceremony thing is still a pain.
Akira: Huh!? D- Did I say that out loud…?
Owen: You’re like an open book, but it seems you still can’t read me at all.
Owen: How simple-minded do you think I am? Did you really think you could change my mind so easily?
Akira: T- That wasn’t my intention…!
Owen: Is that so? Then why don’t you eat this for me?
Suddenly, Owen thrusted a candy ribbon at me.
Pressing it against my lips, he gave me no chance to protest before forcing it in.
Akira: Mmphf…!
Akira: Mm… It’s delicious… Like candy…
Owen: Haha... Just as I thought. You really don’t get me at all.
Akira: Huh…?
Owen: Did you actually think I’d go through the trouble of making all these sweets to share with you?
Owen: On the contrary, I simply cast a little spell that turns things into sweets for just a moment. I’m sure it’ll break any minute now and all those pretty accessories will revert back in the pits of your stomach.
Owen: I wonder… Will your teeth and tongue be alright?
With a look that seemed to pierce right through me, Owen ripped another button off my clothes.
As he bit into the gold-green metal with a crunch, my face paled.
Akira: Y- You’re joking… right?
Owen: I suppose you’ll find out soon enough. I’ll be fine, but I wonder how a human or a weaker wizard would fare.
Akira: Oh no…! I have to let Chloe know…!
Owen: I’d worry for yourself first and foremost.
His mocking laughter drew me in as he dangled a sweet smelling bracelet before me.
Owen: Take another for the road. I’m sure you’ll like this one too.
Akira: N- no, I’m good! I’m already full after all…!
Owen: Aw, don’t be shy. Until this spell breaks, why don’t you enjoy some sweet, sweet candy with me?
Owen: That way, I’ll get to see the look on your face when your stomach finally bursts.
Remember the Taste - Card Episode
[Courtyard]
Akira: Owen? What are you doing in the courtyard?
Owen: Searching for things to turn into sweets.
Akira: You're... what?
Akira: (Oh right. Owen did turn all those accessories into sweets the other day...)
Owen: Hehe, so you remembered? The two of you looked oh so happy, clamoring on and on about how delicious they were.
Owen: Gnawing away at buttons and brooches without a care in the world.
Akira: The cookies and chocolates were really great...
Akira: Although having to worry about whether or not they'd revert back to metal and thread... not so much.
Owen: That was the best part. Seeing your fear and panic was absolutely hilarious.
Owen: Perhaps I should create a second course, although this time, I'll have them revert back as you're eating them.
Akira: Huh!?
Owen: I wonder what I should use. Bitter herbs? Sour fruit perhaps?
Owen: Maybe I'll mix them up in a batch of sweets just for you and Chloe.
Akira: I- I think we'd be more than happy with a regular old pastry...

i need to talk about my disabled clone colony lest i die. it might be dumb but i don’t care
this is in no way organized so i apologize in advance
i’m cooking up an idea for small community of disabled or “defective” clones that would have otherwise been sent back to kamino for decommissioning or reconditioning. they operate a little like a mandalorian covert, and i was imagining that they hide in the lower levels of coruscant. only high-ranking clone commanders (and medics maybe? and also certain jedi??) know about them, and when a brother goes down hard and isn’t fit for battle anymore, the commander calls upon the covert to spirit them away to safety, if at all possible. two or so members of the covert kit up in the colors of whatever battalion they’re headed to, probably in some official GAR ship idk, and casually walk in and whisk the injured brother away. command lists them as KIA, body irrecoverable, so as to avoid needing to send a body or armor back to kamino. maybe they even destroy the armor, if not covertly redistribute it among the men if their various pieces need replacing.
the covert itself has clones from all across the GAR, so of course there are all sorts of skill sets to be found. medics and engineers work together to cobble together prosthetics with whatever meager supplies they can get their hands on. a select few able-bodied brothers wear masks or helmets with vocoders to disguise their voices when they go out for supplies or odd jobs, which i imagine could be anything from bounty hunting to stallkeeping, just as long as they can remain anonymous.
i don’t imagine the covert is particularly big in number, because saving an endangered clone isn’t always possible, but the covert does what they can for the GAR in their position. if they’re holed up on coruscant, maybe they act as informants and report to commander fox about various goings-on in the city, or keep tabs on sketchy senators, etc. fox takes care of them best he can. maybe jedi shadows are even in on it, because i’m a slut for jedi shadows…..
within the actual covert, maybe they took on an abandoned warehouse or an unused portion of a sewer system, and fixed it up to be comfortable and secure and totally unassuming, much like a mandalorian covert.
as for the clones, i wonder if they would feel the need to change their names — maybe some would and some wouldn’t? maybe it would depend on whether they were eligible to leave the covert for jobs and whatnot? maybe if they were, they’d use a fake name while out? much to think about… they’d obviously have no choice but to abandon their squads and their batchmates and go no-contact, and if they were ever to give their names outside of the covert, there’s always that slim chance that a recognizable name could make its way back to the GAR somehow.
it’s likely that many candidates for the covert would reject the offer to be sent there, since it’s literally desertion. this could cause complications in the process — would a commander even phrase it like an offer? if a brother rejected the offer on the grounds of desertion, there’s the chance they could snitch to kamino or spread the rumor, putting the covert’s safety in jeopardy. so maybe they’d phrase it like a question. “you’re unfit for duty, so it’s possible we’ll need to ship you back to kamino. if there was an alternative where you keep marching on, would you want to take it? even if it meant leaving the battalion for good?” and if they agree, then without explaining what would happen next, the commander calls in the covert, at which point the injured clone is officially marked KIA. maybe when the covert clones finally arrive and take the injured brother, they do so under the explanation of getting them ready for transport to kamino, and only when they’re safe inside their ship do they explain what’s actually happening. did any of this even make sense? i’m at work and literally just writing stream of consciousness
i think the clones that start the covert are straight-up deserters, a field medic and a captain. i have very little on them at the moment, but it might make the most sense for at least one of them to have been a corrie guard, if the covert lives on coruscant? anyway time to brainstorm more clone ocs thanks for reading

Hiii I'm Back >:)
What about a Noir x fem reader where they go on a date/hanging out but Peter is like abnormally horny and the reader is oblivious LOL.
HELLO AGAIN @sabcandoit!! okay this one is a pretty silly one :>> SURE THING LMAO (don't ask why i used the same gif, he just looks so funni)
(reblogs are greatly appreciated, it helps get my content out there! if you guys like what you see, please reblog it too <:D)
Tumblr media
"dearest..." peter called from behind you as you were busy preparing dinner. he wrapped his arms around you as he nuzzled his head against the crook of your neck, peppering kisses against your neck and cheeks. you giggled at the display of affection from your dearest as you kept washing the vegetables at the sink. "yes, dear?" you asked him, entertaining him without turning around, with a sweet smile on your face.
peter placed his hands on your waist and chuckled. "why, aren't you just so..." he trailed off as he rubbed at your sides slowly, smiling against your cheek all slyly. "aren't you just so lovely tonight?" he asked in a seemingly innocent voice, but it spoke with different intentions, intentions that were anything but innocent. you chuckled at his compliment and leaned into his relentless kisses. "and aren't you just so handsy tonight, pete?" you say with a slight giggle as you pulled away from his touch to get a few utensils you needed to make dinner.
peter followed you to the other side of the kitchen, thinking you were doing this to play hard to get. luckily for him, he knows how to play your game like the back of his hand. he chuckled to himself as he wrapped you in an embrace yet again, his grip tightening around your forearms to keep you from escaping or doing anything at all, really. you playfully rolled your eyes. "peter..." you said in a fake annoyed tone. he kissed the back of your head as he asked you, "what, love?" he went back to kissing your neck up and down, and soon, began kissing your shoulder and breathing heavier as he looked up at you and smirked. "peter." you repeated in a more serious tone as you set down your utensils and leaned against his touch.
peter thought he would finally convince you and give you what he's longed to give you in a while, finally, he'd be able to have you all for himself tonight. he chuckled and grinned mischievously at you. "yes, my loving spouse?" he asked in a sing-song voice as he put his chin on your shoulder. "i'm cooking." you promptly said, which disheartened peter and made his grin disappear from his face. "but..." he tried to convince you to keep the mood, which had already been shattered, keep going--but you just weren't getting the hint. you giggled as you pulled out of peter's loosening grip. "i'll make your favorite tonight, peter. that's probably what you've been doing, buttering me up for earlier." you said with a giggle, thinking you figured out exactly what peter wanted. but no, you couldn't be any farther from the truth.
peter retired to the living room, slumping down on an armchair as he sighed. he wanted to light a cigarette, take a long drag and hope that'd make his... urges go away. and so, he got up and off the armchair and lit his cigarette when he was finally out at the veranda. "peter, dinner's ready." you called out to him, and he turned around. to your dismay, he was smoking. but he swore he'd only smoke one cigarette, and only if he really felt like it. you sighed. "what's wrong, pete?" you asked as you approached him. he took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it out, letting it fall to the ground as its ashes spread and made a small mess.
he ran a hand through his hair, sighed, and looked at your concerned face. he tried to smile, but it came off quite forced. "nothing's wrong, dearest. i just... i wanted to... do things with you tonight." he said as he took your hands and rubbed his thumbs over your knuckles, admiring how smooth your skin felt, how right your hands fit into his own.
you tilted your head to the side. "but wasn't your whole show for me tonight enough? i made your favorite, you had your way, we did things tonight and i loved it. did... you not--"
"no, no, love, it's... it's more than just hugging and kissing that i want." he said as he placed his hand behind your head, and you brought your head up to look at him in the eyes. his eyes told a different story, a story of a man who longed to please his wife and satiate his own needs. he rubbed his thumb against you cheek, and with his smile and expression softening, he leaned in closer to you. "and i still really want it, love." he said as you leaned closer to him, getting the scent of burning tobacco in through your nose as he breathed against your skin.
and in an instant, you finally understood what he really wanted from you, what he needed from you. you connected your lips with his and wrapped your arms around his neck. as you two forgot about your dinner and made out at the veranda, you were planning on so many things to do with peter that night. and that'd only be the beginning, you had to make up for all the hard work he's been doing trying to get your attention, and wouldn't you be just excited for that?
a/n: SORRY IF IT SUCKS, i'm not very experienced in writing this kind of stuff for noir, but i hope you like it :'>> TY FOR THE REQUEST THOUGH !!

Christmas Spirit || Hawks x fem!reader
Masterlist ❄
Tumblr media
Summary: Hawks decides to motivate you to prepare your apartment for Christmas.
Warnings: none
Word count: 1351
Authors: Bear & Cass
A/N: today’s prompt: Decorating a House
Tumblr media
Due to his childhood memories of Christmas, Hawks enjoyed it a lot. There was a genuine love of Christmas in his heart. Due to Keigo's unhappy childhood, he chose to keep the best, most joyful memories from the family home.
When the holiday season was at its peak, he decided to visit you to see if you needed decorating assistance.
A tune played in the background while you worked on your cookies in the kitchen.
A few knocks were heard on the balcony's door. You opened it immediately with a smile.
Hawks was standing on your balcony, leaning comfortably against a wall with his left leg bent at the knee. "Finally. I've been waiting for so long, I assumed you weren't at home."
As you walked toward him to fix his jacket's collar, you rolled your eyes. "Don't be such a drama queen and get inside. I am sure you are cold from flying around."
Before entering your living room, he brushed some snow from his wings and said, "It's chilling, certainly, but I'm used to this." After he entered and took a look around, he asked, "Wait. And what is that?"
"What is what?" You asked, eyebrow cocking as you closed the door so that more cold wouldn't enter your apartment.
He held up both hands, pointing at your living room. "This. Basically, I mean this. Your decorations, where are they?"
As you returned to the kitchen, you questioned, "Ah! You mean Christmas decorations? I don't decorate much. I'll probably put a few things on tomorrow morning, and that'll be enough for me."
At you, he made a finger gesture, raising one eyebrow. "Oh no, dear, no, no. The holiday spirit is desperately needed here."
"Aren't my special cookies enough?" You teased.
Keigo gave his chin a few taps while he was looking at you. "Oh, no, they're not sufficient, I'm afraid."
As you sighed, you questioned simply, "What's the point in decorating this place when I'll have to take it all down, pack it all up, and put it away soon?"
"Because it's enjoyable! Decorating can add charm and beauty to your area and is a lot of fun. It will spread holiday cheer in this area. It is necessary."
As you turned to him, your arms crossed over your chest as you watched him talk. Everything he said didn't make the idea of hanging stuff around for you any better. "For me it's not enjoyable."
Hawks flopped on your couch and crossed his legs. "Why is that?"
Sweetie, that's a lot of work just to take it down in a few days. The fake tree and some lights will be put up tomorrow morning," you shrugged. "I will probably spend Christmas alone, so there's no need to overdo it."
Keigo once more arched a brow. "So you won't be inviting me over or paying me a visit on Christmas Day? Is this a sign that you don't want my attention anymore?"
Your eyebrows raised as you asked, "How can I invite you when you openly announced you would work a few days ago?"
He rose from the sofa and began to circle the room. "Really, how difficult is it to comprehend? I was hoping that you would ask me for a day or two of vacation so that we could have fun, but of course you never did."
As you groaned, getting frustrated with his behavior, you said, "Keigo. I didn't ask because I know it's difficult for you to get a single day off."
"You are aware of the fact that I would stop at nothing to earn a day off for you. Come on, I'll assist you with decorating the apartment."
After a deep sigh, you rubbed the bridge of your nose. "Okay. Fine. Let it be."
"Where do you have your decorations hidden?"
"They should be in the closet. I have a big box stored there."
Hawks calmly made his way from your living room to the hallway, where you had your closet, with his hands in his pockets. He opened the door and flew up a little, using his beautiful wings to get the large, cartoon box.
"You could at least remove your shoes!" You shouted at him.
"Sorry!"
Taking a deep breath, you left your current work to assist him in the living room.
After the box was brought, Keigo placed it on the carpet and then, for you to notice, he took care to take off his shoes in a theatrical manner.
After ignoring his little show, you opened the box and took some decorations out.
Keigo looked into the package and concluded, "You have some wonderful Christmas ornaments here." He took out some glitter stars and paper chains.
"You want to see something cringy?”
"Now I'm curious," Hawks rolled his head back a little as he chuckled.
You went to your bedroom and returned a few moments later only to show him the ornament that looked like a mini version of him. With a blush, You explained, "I bought it yesterday while shopping."
He grinned, "Well, well, look at that! We have some little, decent Hawks here. I won't lie, as much as I find it sweet, it's also a little creepy, not to mention the fact that they weren't able to duplicate the beauty of my face."
"It's not my fault, you have so much merch!" You grumbled. Furthermore... I found it cute. So, Mr. Christmas Spirit, what's next?"
He threw the glitter stars at you. "Start hanging those around."
With a nod, you followed his little order and started to hang the stars around your living room.
Hawks got up and placed a few paper chains on the shelves.
As you work, you start humming a quiet tune. Once you were done, you looked at him. "I am done here."
Meanwhile, Hawks was already done with chains and some small baubles.
As you looked around, you agreed, "This actually looks nice."
"Right? Can you feel the Christmas spirit now?"
Shrugging, you replied, "Not really, but I like how it looks."
Hawks came to you and booped your nose. "Don't make me ask that again?"
The nose boop made you giggle. "Oh, okay, fine. I kinda feel it!"
He stole a kiss from your lips, humming.
You booped him in the nose this time. "I'll get the tree. Just so you know, it's a fake one."
Keigo sat back on the carpet and dug further through the box.
Dragging the tree back to the living room took some time. You set it up straight and put it in its proper position with a loud groan. "Here. Did you find anything interesting in the box?"
"Just more baubles," he raised his head, and you could see two baubles hanging off his ears.
"You really like Christmas, don't you?"
"Yes... The only happy childhood recollections I have are of these times."
You kissed his cheek, removing the ornaments from his ears with a small smile. "Let's make it a good memory this year too. Let's decorate the tree together."
Keigo worked tirelessly to adorn your tree with decorations, chains, and other trinkets he discovered inside a box. Hawks placed his arm around you and got out his phone to take a picture of you with the tree in the background after it had been fully adorned.
Just to get a picture, you laughed and kissed his cheek. Then you looked over your shoulder and rubbed his shoulder. "Babe, we forgot something. Can you lift me up?" You asked with a gold star in your hand.
Hawks took you into his arms and used his wings to lift you both up to the tree's top.
With a happy sound, you placed the star on top of the tree and clapped your hands.
There was a certain charm to this whole thing, and it certainly gave you a feeling of Christmas cheer. "Now it's perfect."
Hawks kissed your cheek briefly and nuzzled your neck after landing back on the floor with you, setting you down carefully. "Merry Christmas, little doll."
Before kissing him, you said, "Merry Christmas to my hero."

The Truck Schedule
Tumblr media
After the bird 'incident' that occurred yesterday, a team meeting had to be held.
All the team members in the building gathered around in a circle at the very center of the store. In the middle of the circle was Minghao.
As the HR rep, he had to be the one to call this very important meeting. (yay so fun)
Once everyone started to quiet down, Minghao took a deep breath.
"Okay" he sighed. "After an unfortunate incident that occurred yesterday," he paused, "Mingyu will be gone on a mental health leave for this week."
As the only people who knew what actually happened during the 'incident' the twelve pairs of eyes stole glances at each other.
The moment a pair would make eye contact their mouths would spread into a smile.
A few had to cover their mouths and Soonyoung had to fake a cough in order to hold in his chuckles.
Chan was on the brink of bursting out into laughter, but thankfully Seungkwan was their to nudge his side.
The rest of the team members present, outside of the thirteen friends, had no clue what went on yesterday. It was evident in their faces that they were concerned about Mingyu. (Although most of them were too tired to really care)
Hao carried on, "Since Mingyu is the one who runs the truck, we're gonna need to arrange for his absence."
The room filled with groans.
"I know it's very last minute, but the situation was so sudden" Hao explained, "I'll take any volunteers who can run the truck this week! I will leave a sign up sheet on the front desk in the office." he gave a big (fake) smile.
"Thank you for your time!"
"I cannot believe that Mingyu gets a whole week off just because a bird pooped on his shoulder!" Chan exclaimed.
Y/N thought back to the events of yesterday and smiled. "No yeah, if I was Gyu, I would be traumatized."
"So are any of you guys gonna run the truck?" Joshua asked.
Jeonghan was the first to speak up, "Well I would love to, really I would, but no one else can handle Guest Services. What a shame!" he pouted.
Joshua joined in, "Yeah and I'm only trained in the cafe so..."
The rest of the friends ignored the twos' fake sympathy.
Chan walked over to the list.
"Oh! It looks like Shownu already offered to take the truck for tomorrow and Thursday! And Johnny took Wednesday and Saturday."
Jun turned to Jihoon, "Do you want to throw the truck on Tuesday? I can help you too!" he suggested
Jihoon thought for a moment.
"Hmmm. I guess that'd be fine. But I'll probably need support in market afterwards."
Soonyoung's ears seemed to perk up to the mention of needing help in market.
"JI I CAN HELP YOU! PLEASE!" he desperately said.
Wonwoo looked at him puzzled.
"Why do you want to work in market so bad?"
Soonyoung stood up. It seemed like he was about to deliver a speech in front of a huge crowd.
"BECAUSE! I've only had shifts in drive up AND ITS TOO HOT TO BE OUTSIDE GIVING CUSTOMERS THEIR ORDERS! If i'm out in the sun for another day I will die of heatstroke!" he exclaimed.
"I WANT TO EXPERIENCE BEING IN THE COOLERS AND FREEZERS!"
Y/N gently pat his back affectionately.
"It's okay Soonie. I'll buy you ice cream after your shift today okay!"
After Soonyoung eventually calmed down after his little burst, the group continued to plan out the truck schedule.
"I'm in fulfillment this whole week. The batches don't even drop until the store opens so I'm sure me and Vernon can handle it! We can take a day for the truck!" Y/N cheered.
Y/N turned to Vernon.
"Vernon what day do you want to take?"
Vernon just shrugged, "I'm cool with whatever"
Minghao took a look at the list so far.
"Well we only have one day left to fill. Any takers?"
Chan quickly pointed to Seungkwan, who was literally minding his own business.
"I heard Seungkwan say he wants to volunteer!"
Seungkwan gave Chan the most bombastic side eye.
"I SAID NO SUCH THING! I HAVE NO TIME FOR THE TRUCK! HAVE YOU SEEN MY DEPARTMENT??!? I SPEND MOST IF MY TIME PICKING UP AFTER THE CUSTOMERS COMPLETELY TRASH THE PLACE!!"
Chan ignored his pleas and just gave Seungkwan a tight lipped smile.
"All I'm hearing are excuses"
"WHY YOU LITTLE-"
And so therefore an argument had erupted.
While Chan and Seungkwan were bickering the others turned to Y/N and Vernon.
Jihoon looked over at the two, "Can you guys really handle the truck on Friday?"
Y/N seemed to take offense to his comment.
She scoffed playfully, "Why? You think I can't because I'm a woman?"
"Nah Y/N I don't think we're concerned about you. It's Vernonie over here." Hao butted in. "I haven't seen him do much heaving lifting at work."
Joshua joined in too.
"Yeah to be honest, I don't think I see Vernon work at all. He usually does one batch and I swear he disappears for the rest of his shift!" he exclaimed.
This seemed to catch Cheol's attention. He made a mental note to check the cameras and see where Vernon would go off to.
Y/N shook her head. "Y'all are underestimating Kpoppapī. He's been working out."
Vernon nodded his head in agreement.
"Yeah. I gym."
"OKAY BUT HOW COME YOU WONT TAKE A TRUCK DAY HUH!" Seungkwan shouted.
Chan was quick to defend himself, "YOU KNOW ITS BACK TO SCHOOL SEASON! IM STRUGGLING IN THE SEASONAL DEPARTMENT! ALL I CAN SMELL ARE CRAYONS! CRAYONS!" he raised his hands like a mad man.
The rest of the group decided to focus back on the two arguing.
"Why doesn't Seokmin just take the last day?" Wonwoo suggested.
A loud gasp was heard from Y/N.
"NO! My little cupcake HATES running the truck" Y/N frowned, "I will not let that happen!"
(The favoritism is really showing)
Jihoon decided to speak up, "Well if I have to have Soonyoung help me in market, the least he should do is take a truck day."
"HOW DARE YOU!" Soonyoung said.
Hao seemed to agree, "Yeah that makes sense."
Soonyoung shook his head, "WHY DOESNT WONWOO TAKE A DAY!"
Soon more and more voices started to join in.
At this point there were 3 different arguments happening all at the same time.
"HOW ABOUT WE RECONSIDER JOSHU-"
While the whole group was busy arguing over who would take the last day, one person quietly made their way to a seat with the truck schedule in their hands.
Everyone else was too busy arguing to pay attention.
With a smile on his face, Jeonghan quickly wrote down a name on the very last spot.
Once he finished his task, he sat back and continued to watch his friends argue over the, now solved, issue.
He quietly snickered while rubbing his hands together like an evil villain waiting for his plan to be carried out.
On the schedule listed the following:
Mon - Shownu
Tues - Jihoon & Jun
Wed - Johnny
Thurs - Shownu
Fri - Y/N & Vernon
Sat - Johnny
Sun - Seungcheol

silly hc idea for the riddlers. What do you think it'd be like if the riddlers who have voice actors/actors met their actors? Do you think they'd be appreciative? Freaked out?
Riddlers meet their actors
Short and sweet but this is way too cute
Tw: fourth wall breaking, meta, unreality/dpdr, surveillance
Gotham
- Considering the canon (that I ignore mostly because it's done so poorly) that hes got a split personality he's talked to, it probably wouldn't go well? Lots of animosity. Like a dog growling at its reflection.
- IGNORING THAT THOUGH. He'd start quizzing him and giving him riddles since this is obviously a fake. A trick someone is playing on him.
- if he found out it was real, he'd be super apologetic and calling him Mr.
- oh god does that mean there's actors for penguin and zsasz as well? They must be more pleasant than the on screen counterparts, at least.
60s
- Between Edward's riddles and puns and Mr. Gorshins stand up, the crime fighting duo is going to be seeing double! But this isn't about them.
- given this riddler is kind of a cinemaphile, there would be so many acting questions. Favorite movie? Who is the most famous person he's worked with (besides him, obviously)? He's quite good at acting and impressions himself, as Frank Gorshin would already know.
Zero year
- Get fucked, Edward, you have no VA or actor. That will however not stop him from harassing the writer and artist. His plan was failproof! How did this GUY beat him? And he can't just read who Batman is because then it'll be like he couldn't figure it out on his own. Ugh!
- He is going to red marker a copy of Zero Year showing every unflattering panel. See that expression where it looks like he has a double chin? That has to go, fellas!
- He tells them to do a better job next time. Because there WILL be a next time. He's simply the best riddler there could be! And no, not with the mohawk, get that out of here.
BTAS
- Civilized conversation after a brief "How strange, you can imitate me- OH-" Well, perhaps you should have pushed for more riddler episodes. His brilliant mind should be on display after all!
- sorry its been...... its been how many years since the show has been on...? Of COURSE he knew that. It was just a surprise hearing it. Right now.
- well. Other than that, he's going to ask about the family, his husband, as is only polite. Then about the other voices. Working with them and-
- sorry, joker is luke skywalker?
Telltale
- It should only make sense that his voice actor should be so skilled with a long variety of credits. Perhaps he has this skill as well and he didn't even realize it!
- German is a surprising accent he didn't know he could do. That will definitely come into play at a later date if he needs to hide his voice.
Arkham
- He can't handle this. The realization he's just pixels in programming- He's so much GRANDER than this! Yes, yes, you've done a great job, whatever, he has much more concerning things to deal with. He'll spare you, Wally, simply because without you his voice wouldn't be.
- this ultimately turns into him becoming the nastiest virus that figures out how to spread to any device that can access wifi. In this new world, there's nothing he can't see or control...
2022
- honestly I think he'd be terrified. Who is this well-adjusted man with his face? He's an ACTOR? People pay to see this face? His worthless, disgusting-
- wait he has fans?
- it all goes downhill from there. Abduction, probably like when Joker abducted Mark Hamil in that one special.
- He will flip when he finds out Paul Dano wrote his origin comics. Someone who knows him so well better than ANYONE else on this wretched world.

Re: Mob boss Hob, im not the og anon but I want to add on
I am obsessed?? With Mob Boss Hob getting the shit dommed out of him, but poor Cori! The dear tried so hard to be good for Hob and give him what he needed but no matter how hard he pushed it wasn't enough :( he knows that and he's grateful he had an excuse to see his hot ex-boss again and even happier that he made the right call and Hob's managed to relax for once in his life, but the whole situation's hurt his pride a bit. He's been in the business long enough to know not to let it show while he's working though, he doesn't want to look weak in front of Hob (and he's already on thin ice after Hob found out Cori told Dream about him...)
Dream knows, though. He brought Cori into the business, he knows Cori's moods like the back of his hand. So he asks Hob if there's anything that happened recently that would change Cori's mood, and Hob shrugs like "well its probably because we haven't been having sex now that you're here."
Dream gets concerned at that. Because he also knows that Cori, for all his bite, and as decent as he is at domming, is at heart a very dutiful sub, Dream trained Cori himself after all. So he pulls more info out of Hob and realizes that his ex-sub hasn't been getting his needs met! And that just won't do at all, especially considering how considerate and loyal Cori's been to Hob. So he brings Cori into Hob's room with him and Hob and tells Hob to apologize.
Hob is. Not pleased. He's still a huge brat and he's still really upset that Cori told Dream about his moods (even though Dream's one of the best thing's that's ever happened to him since...well, a long time). He's even more upset that Dream's asking Hob to apologize to Cori for wounding Cori's pride and still being curt to him even though Cori's helped him so much. And while Cori knows that it's a nice gesture from Dream to bring him in here, he kinda knows Hob's too stubborn to apologize to him for anything, and he's not looking for a fake apology. He tells Dream as much and goes to leave.
The moment Cori turns his back, Hob stops. He doesn't know why, maybe it's his own pride, maybe its the fact that he finally realizes he's been mistreating one of his best men for making one of the best calls of his life, or maybe its because he realizes that he hasn't been that considerate of Cori in bed, but he realizes he has to make it right. He reaches out and grab's Cori by the wrist, making Cori turn around. Hob's looking at the floor, too embarrassed to look into Cori's eyes, but he turns his head towards Dream and asks him if he could help? With his apology?
Luckily for the both of them, Dream would be more than honored to.
Still obsessed with Bratty Sub Mob Hob and oh, you are so right!! Cori did so good. He deserves a reward <3
Hob is quickly tossed onto the bed and finds his legs and arms locked in Dream’s favourite spreader bar. He puts up a small show of resistance but mostly he's just watching, curious as to how Dream is going to make him apologise.
"I hear that you were very greedy and unappreciative when Cori was kind enough to give you his cock." Dream says sternly. "You can begin by servicing him properly. Let him fuck your mouth."
Hob objects strongly to this - he finds the idea humiliating (and therefore it turns him on a lot). But he can't do much about it, so when Cori straddles his chest and smears the tip of his cock over Hob’s lips, he begrudgingly opens his mouth.
Alas Hob’s mouth is still very much untrained, but Cori helps by holding his jaw open and fucking through his gag reflex. Dream hums out his approval - he's busy between Hob’s widely spread legs, idly nudging the grip of Cori's handgun inside his hole. Hob knows that it's Cori's gun (he can feel that it's different to the one Dream carries) and fuck, it really does turn him on. Having the weapon that Cori uses regularly to defend and carry out Hob’s orders is... hot. He suddenly gets a whole lot more interested in sucking Cori off properly.
...the idea of having Cori AND Dream to meet his needs in the bedroom is looking increasingly attractive, in fact.

How to win the heart of jack how?
How to win a heart of Jack Howl?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
a/n: Dearest Anon, I hope you are still here. I tried my best to write a good story. I hope you and every other reader will enjoy it!!
Tumblr media
1. Get him to act as your boyfriend.
You don't know who that boy from Savanaclaw is, but at the moment, you can't care.
Your step hastens unwittingly, and you find yourself running towards the white-haired boy in a gymnastics shirt. He must be returning from daily training because even Mr Vargas doesn't torture his students so early in the morning. You glance at him once more, and you're sure that he will be a perfect fit for a plan you got into.
His ears twitch at the sound of your resilient steps, and he sharply turns your way before you bump into him. Of course, you would have slowed your pace and avoided any accident, but he catches your arms and stops you abruptly. You wonder how strong he may be if he didn't even budge.
"Uh... [Last Name]-senpai...?"
He looks at you with a slightly concerned look.
Oh, so he does know you? Wonderful.
"Hello there," you breathe out, gently getting out of his arms. You hope that being so winded doesn't leave a terribly unfortunate impression. "I… I know that we hadn't really talked with each other��yet—but I would… really, really appreciate it if you could help me with something."
A boy glances at you with vary.
You consider yourself lucky that he doesn't brush you off.
"…What do you need me for?"
You put on the most charming smile you can afford.
"It will sound really stupid, but… could you please act as my boyfriend? Be my fake date?"
"What?" A boy stutters the question. Before you can answer, he scrutinizes your surroundings. "Is someone stalking you?"
You shake your head energetically.
"No, no. I… just got into a bet with my cousin. And, well, to summarize the two-hour talk I may have told her that I will bring my boyfriend to a family dinner…" You watch how his expression changes slightly. Falls. "…But, obviously, I wouldn't drag anyone to my house. So, I was thinking about going with someone there and ' breaking up' in a few days. Oh, and I- I can pay you for your help!"
Your hands link in a plea.
"I-" Jack can't find any words he could offer you. Should he help you or just leave…? "[Last Name]-senpai, I really don't know what to say…" He trails off. "…Why me?"
His question animated you. You throw your hands in the air and wave in his general direction.
"I mean, look at you!" You exclaim, hoping a great amount of enthusiasm in your voice will work in your favour. "You seem like a hot, reliable guy. Kind. Charismatic."
Jack looks stunned. "Ah? W… What…?"
"You look exactly like the person I described to my parents!" You don't stop talking. His sudden bashfulness makes you speak even more confidently. "Please, if you aren't dating anyone right now, help me!"
Jack's eyes are avoiding yours as he scratches his nape. The silence stretches between you two, and you feel your heart sinking with regret each quiet second.
But then he coughs.
"…I don't like this idea," he mumbles, and his gaze meets yours. You notice the rosiness on his cheeks. The blush probably appeared because of the awkwardness of this situation and not because of a sudden crush on you, though. A pity. "But you look… desperate. You've got the spirit, and I will have you in debt. So… I will try helping you."
"Ah!"
You can't hide the smile that spreads on your face. You jump to Jack and pull him into a tight hug. He tenses under your sudden touch and lightly tries to push you off.
"Thank you so much…!" You cry out. After wiping a dramatic tear, you step back from him. You lower your head when you feel your face heating slightly in shame. "So… What is your name?"
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
2. He's still not convinced. Do something.
The bright screen of his phone has his undivided attention. A beautiful moon in the sky is already forgotten even as it's dazzling in its full beauty tonight.
His eyes skim through the chat. The last message you sent was dated five hours ago, and he hasn't been able to push it to the back of his mind. It still clung to him when he listened to lectures and exercised. Now, when he had done everything he had planned for today, and it was getting dark, he can't stop from pondering.
He scrolled to a top of a chat and began going over the conversation for the tenth time.
Chat: [Name] sent you an invitation. Accept to friends?
Chat: Jack accepted an invitation. You're friends now!
[Name]: Hi Jack!!
[Name]: Thank you so much again for agreeing to such a weird deal hahaha
[Name]: Can we meet tomorrow during lunch break to talk about it?
[Jack]: Sure
[Name]: [happy sticker sent]
…Should he regret his decision? But, if he was to turn down your offer, you would have a serious problem, no? Maybe that's what you should get for lying—a lie always has short legs—but…
Jack can't bring himself up to call the whole thing off.
It's not because he is too shy to walk away from that situation. Maybe he doesn't want to leave you by yourself since you picked him from over three hundred students in NRC. And maybe he likes helping people. And your help - he has you in debt, hm - in his studies might be crucial in the future.
Or so he hopes.
Ping!
His heart skips a surprised beat when a sudden message appears after the sticker message.
[Name]: …I see you are still online
[Name]: Can't stop thinking about that chat? Hehe
Jack's fingers hover over the screen before he types a reply.
Jack: I can.
He lied.
Jack: That all just happened so quickly
[Name]: After sleeping, you might feel easier with that idea
[Name]: Tbh I doubt I will be able to sleep right now
[Name]: Soooo
[Name]: Wanna play something?
He doesn't even have a short moment to consider your offer before another notification pops up.
Chat: [Name] invited you to play a game of UNO CARD. Click here to join in!
Jack sighs.
And taps the link.
He will go to sleep soon. He can't miss his morning training, after all.
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
3. Be a helpful upperclassman.
"Ah. It's that vending machine."
"[Name]-senpai…"
You lean against the cold metal, and Jack slowly looks at you. He heard your steps but didn't react until you made your presence too obvious to ignore. You smile cheerfully at him, not minding the stiffness he treats you with.
"Just [Name], Jack-kouhai," you tease and take two steps to stand next to him, facing the front of a vending machine. Behind the glass, colourful cans reflect the bright lights of corridors' chandeliers. "I see you have a problem here."
There is a bottle of pear-flavoured water trapped between the glass and a lower shelf, where lay packs of biscuit cookies. It doesn't seem to be stuck too hard to give up hope of getting it out, but neither are the other items on the machine. Everything is attached too loosely.
You believe that if you tried to tilt the whole thing, a bottle wouldn't be the only thing that would fall down.
"There are three ways you can get out your precious water, Jack," you hold three fingers in front of him. "You can buy something from a higher shelf—but both things can get stuck—you can punch the machine (gently, Jack, gently), or try reaching that bottle from below… Although it will hurt when you try to squeeze your arm through the window you usually take your drink from," you count solutions on your hand as you talk and then smile at Jack with anticipation.
"…I will go with buying something else, then." He looks like he'd rather give up on the water but still pats his pockets and takes another coin from his pocket. "…I don't have enough to buy anything more right now... Can you wait here while I go for my wallet?"
"No! …Can I have your change?"
…Well. With a grunt that resembles a resigned sigh, he hands you a coin.
You put it in the machine, along with several more you had on yourself, and tap a button next to the big pack of jellies on the highest shelf. With a soft clack! candy lands on a bottle, and with a hard crash, it makes it to the end. With a bottle.
It feels like a big victory when you squat to take both items out.
"We won!" You announce, throwing him his water, and then spare no time to open the jellies. "You can take half of them," As you shift the pack toward him, Jack hesitatingly takes a handful. You grin. "See? Having such a great upperclassman as me is an ultimate investment in life."
"Is that so," Jack ponders. ...Somehow, he feels entertained by your show. If you 'asked out' Ace Trappola instead of him, he would be your perfect partner in this kind of antics. "By the way, senpai, could you check an essay I've done? I need to turn it in tomorrow. That would be even more helpful than help with a vending machine."
The look he gives you says that he doesn't think you can correct his work to make it score top marks. You know you can't do that too.
"……..Heh."
So much for trying to be a helpful senpai.
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
4. Get to know him.
"Do I really need to answer these questions?" Jack sounds concerned, and you can't help but chuckle at the hesitance in his voice. "They are weird…"
You take a sip of your drink. It is sour but in a very pleasant way. Well, you couldn't really expect less from the special item on a Monstro Lounge's menu. Even the occasional, time-limited and experimental dishes are quite tasteful here.
Jack sits across you, with his arms crossed as he studies the two-paged paper quiz you handed him. At his left, there is a glass of refreshing lemonade you insisted on paying for. Your fake-and-still-unsure boyfriend in question hasn't left yet, so you guess that treating him was a great idea.
"It's an instant way to know someone. I came up with the idea."
"That's the matter…"
He almost scowls, and you grin at the statement.
"We need to know some basics about ourselves. I wrote my questions for you on this sheet of paper," you point at a thin file in front of him, and shift another one in his direction. "And you can write anything you want to ask me here."
Hm.
Jack isn't sure if he wants to know anything particular about you. Anything more.
"…Okay," he replies, eyeing you carefully. Then, with a pen in his hand, he begins to write his questions for you.
It takes him several minutes to fill the page. When he hands it to you, his firm, right-slanting handwriting flashes at you. Your lips curve as you note that it fits him very much.
But then you start reading the questions.
And your smile drops.
"I can't answer these questions, Jack," you protest, and Jack squints his eyes at you in confusion. "I have no clue about the names of the muscles I focused on when we had a Vargas Camp," At your comment, he starts deflating, and you pause in a second. And then, after rereading the questions again, you pout sulkily. "…Couldn't you ask anything about my great personality?"
"…Then, is there anything I need to know before 'dating' you?" Jack scratches his neck, dropping his gaze at a lemonade before him.
"Now you make it sound as if I was dangerous," you laugh, but you can feel how your voice is a little strained. Just a little bit. "Either way, I won't tell you! You're getting me in a two-in-one special: you get precious me and my darkest secrets. It's a great deal."
"It's not."
You wave your hand as his response is as if it was physically brushed away. "The real question is: do I need to know anything about you?"
Jack huffs, but when he closes his eyes, you know he thinks about it seriously. It doesn't take a long while for him to speak up again.
"I think… I'm a pretty normal guy," he says and looks at you as if he wanted your reassurance. Your mouth 'no', and by the glance he sends you, you know how unimpressed he is. "I might not reach high standards if you or your family have any."
If he was sitting next to you, you would pat his arm, but you can only playfully step on his shoe under the table. You tap it twice, and when Jack looks up at you, a full grin plasters on your face.
You laugh. "You're good to go. I think you are more than living up to my parents' unfounded low expectations of my boyfriend."
"…Now I wonder why so."
"And you will keep on wondering. You won't ever hear this story~." You hum. "Well. Maybe one day."
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
5. Have faith in yourself. (It doesn't need to be justified).
"Now we turn left…"
"It's on the right."
"It's left."
"Right!"
"It's left."
"It can't be left! On the left we have mandragoras..."
"We just passed the alley where they were, [Name]."
Jack sighs. Moving around the botanical garden shouldn't be this hard. You two have been there many times, but now the corridors stopped looking familiar as new roots started taking over the paths. It was a time for flowers to blossom.
Going there was a mistake. You can't even remember what were you going to search for here, but if you asked Jack, he would probably remember.
You don't want to ask him, though.
"Well, you can go right, and I will go left," you huff, crossing your arms. "We will see who will get out of here before the lunch break ends."
You turn around on your heel, and as you step to the left aisle, Jack catches you by the back of your shirt's collar and quickly jumps next to you. Then, by standing back to you, he grabs your arms from behind and pushes you forward. You began taking shaky steps towards the right alley.
"No," says Jack. "We will have a joint PE lesson. Both of us need to eat something before that. Let me guide, [Name]."
"I don't have a choice anyway," you note that although his grip on your arms is steady and would be hard to break out from, it isn't painful. It's almost gentle as he forces you to go ahead. "And don't assume I don't know the way…!"
"I hear the voices of others. I will find an exit faster," he says. "Bear with me, and we'll get out of there."
"…If we don't, you will have to admit publically that your sense of orientation sucks."
"Then, shouldn't you do the same if my lead is correct?"
You slowly start to recognize the plants and where you two were.
He is guiding you correctly.
"…No."
Jack hums, and you can tell he's amused by the disappointment in your voice.
"Then I will keep it a secret to myself."
"I have a great sense of orientation, just- not today!" You protest as you tug on his sleeve. He doesn't stop pushing you so slightly to guide you two to the exit. "Don't remember this kind of lies, Jack."
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
6. Cheer on him.
"Here's water."
"Thanks."
Jack takes cold water and sits down next to you. A bench is sturdy enough that it doesn't squeak, even as you sit in the middle of it. With no problem, he takes off a cap you struggled with—he doesn't need to know this, however—and quenches his thirst.
He also accepts the towel your hand him with "thanks".
"You are going to have a match with RSA in two weeks, right?" Your question sounds more like a statement. Jack wonders if you would show up at his training if it wasn't for it.
"Yeah."
"Our school will have a whole day without lessons just to watch it."
Jack nods.
Maybe if it wasn't RSA, it wouldn't be the deal it is now. But you can count only on one hand the NRC students who don't feel competitive when the academy is mentioned. Even the people who aren't going to play, behave as if they were going to, with their cheering and hyping each other.
Cheering… NRC students will have to prepare some banners to support their team. And practice the cheer itself. Probably Pomefiore students will have to engage. They might not be very interested in sports events, but they won't let RSA beat them in terms of aesthetics.
Maybe the strong rivalry isn't that bad at all.
"By the way…" You trail off and don't speak again until Jack looks at you. "Even though we will be cheering on your team, all of my cheers are dedicated to you."
"Khe-"
Oops.
Jack chokes on his water in surprise, but when you move with concern to pat his back, he moves away, coughing into the crook of his elbow, and putting up his other hand to stop you. He eventually stops choking and sighs deeply.
When he looks up, and when you get to see his face, you notice a faint blush on his cheeks. His eyes crinkle wary. "…Are you trying out a pick-up line?"
And you tried being encouraging.
"No! I wanted to be supportive!" You protest. "Would you like it to be a pick-up li-?"
"No thanks," he says curtly. Then, clears his throat, and after making sure he can hold your gaze, he starts paying attention to his voice, to not have the next words come out as a mutter. "…But thank you for being here."
You smile softly and can feel your heart warm up.
But you ruin the atmosphere as the mischievous grin spreads up your face and meets your eyes. "Are you trying out a pick-up line, hehe? Don't look at me like that. I would very much like it to be."
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
7. Have fake dates.
"Did you know that couples usually post some photos from their dates?"
You don't look up from your screen when you say it. Jack glances at you, who has been coming to his room whenever you had a chance. You started taking his bed as yours. He always grunts as you do so, but you noticed that a blanket you brought with you on a colder day is always folded and overhanging the headboard.
"What do you mean?" He asks, not stopping flexing his arm with the dumbbell. You turn the screen of your phone towards him, showing a Magicam profile of a girl he doesn't know.
"Like, uh. We should get some material to convince everyone that our relationship is very entertaining," you say, scrolling through the posts.
There are lots of pictures of said girl and her boyfriend. From amusement parks, oceanariums, festivals, bookstores, restaurants… You look at Jack as you got to the last image. "They look happy. And enamoured with each other."
Jack thinks about something.
"Do you think just posting photos is enough to prove the 'trueness' of our relationship?"
You grin. "That will convince introverts. All the people who didn't see us."
Jack actually laughs. "Right," he says, and as his voice steadies, he returns to doing his exercises. As you think the topic is ended, Jack speaks up so quietly that he almost mouths his words. "Then we can get… a few."
His eyes are intensely glued to the floor when you look at him.
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
8. Talk about the rules. (Find out whether you can fake a kiss. (Fake kiss?)
"Are we ready?"
Jack asks, for the last time correcting the cuffs of his shirt. A suit he picked fits him; it's similar to the uniform he wears every day, but it's even more elegant. He leaves it unbuttoned, and whether he was wearing a tie, it would cover the little buttons of a white shirt he wears underneath.
He doesn't, though, but you don't say anything. You can't really say anything, because he looks so astonishing that something similar to awe grips your throat. Jack looks gorgeous. Not only in very classic clothes but also freshened up. His hair is puffier than usual, and you would love to play with it if it would ruin its tidiness.
You also dressed yourself up. You thought you were unusually pretty tonight, more than ever.
Jack doesn't agree but doesn't deny it either. He just stares at you, and by the way, his chest expands and stops, you start to wonder if he stopped breathing.
But he finally breathes out, and you don't dare to check if he has a desired blush on his cheeks or not.
You start walking toward the hall of mirrors, where one could take you back to your family home. Your home.
"Once again, leave all the questions related to romance up to me," you say, winking at him. "I read so much fanfiction I can come up with a realistic, heartwarming backstory of our relationship immediately."
"Don't tell them anything weird."
He says so, and you chuckle.
"They will probably tease us, so don't be shy to ignore them," you continue. By the time, you are standing before a big mirror. Its surface shines brightly, and in a brief moment, an image of your hometown is already displayed. Your house is close, very close. "And… just be yourself, you're charming."
"…If you say so," Jack says. He looks as if he wanted to say something, and you wait before he speaks up with hesitation. "Shall we hold hands?"
You didn't expect that.
But you aren't going to refuse.
You intertwine your fingers with his and grin. Your heartbeat rises once more again, and you know, that it won't slow down until you return back. Jack squeezes your hand back.
"Next step in our relationship, I see," you say with a smile. "You have warm hands."
You stand there for just a little while, stopping Jack from going through the mirror, but it's too long as another thought crosses your mind.
"Wait. Do you think they will ask us to kiss?" Stupid you, stupid you, stupid you, stop talking, stop talking, stop talking, laugh to cover the awkwardness and throw the topic away. You laugh. "No. They wouldn't. Never mind, don't think about that."
Now you try to go through the mirror. Jack's hand, which still holds yours, stops you midway. You have no choice but to look up at him and confront the gaze he wishes you didn't see.
"…If the situation will be tragic enough, we can do it," he says and coughs. "But it might be awkward, but I don't think I could fake a kiss."
"Neither could I," my chest will explode in a moment, you note. Somehow, you grin with mischief, but it isn't as malicious as you wished it to be. "So our very unfakeable kiss would convince everyone."
"Stop wishing for it to happen."
"I haven't been wishing! But well, maybe I might start doing so. Someday. Sometimes. Ah, let's just go!"
‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
9. Lose the previous reason to date.
The dinner went well.
You never once regretted choosing Jack as your partner in crime, but now you were so proud of yourself, as your mother talked happily with Jack, and dad listened to their conversation, sometimes commenting.
Your cousin was actually convinced about your relationship with Jack. She even offered to have a double date and recommended places interesting enough to have memorable dates. She felt happy for you, and it was warming your heart but also freezing it by turns.
You had to politely brush all her offers off because… Well, Jack agreed to be your date until today.
You've been painfully aware of it, as Jack's hand holds yours since you left your house.
Even when you got to the mirror, where no one from your family could see you anymore… Even when you got back to school, your hands were still linked, but you didn't want to point it out. Jack could have backed out and it was the last thing you wanted.
But everything must have an end.
"Thank you," you breathe and smile slightly at him. Looking him straight into the eyes beyond your strength. You part your hands very slowly before you turn to get to your dormitory. "Goodnight, Jack."
As Jack turns and walks back to his dormitory, he can't help but think about a single thing. Even the dinner he was stressing about him the whole day has been already forgotten.
The next morning you will wake up, and you two "won't be together".
Jack scowls.
If you ever have been.

10. End the play.
"Thank you for your hard work~," you smile cheerfully when getting to his room. For the last time as a "partner", if you still hold that title. You put a glass bottle on his desk. "I've got you a pear compote, so you won't have the heart to throw it out."
"I… wouldn't do anything like that even if it wasn't it," Jack says, and doesn't move away when you sit on the bed next to him. He can smell the light perfumes you wore today and almost feels the warmth of your body, sitting so close to him.
There is a silence between you before you decide to break it.
"So… that's it, huh?"
You smile, and something in Jack breaks again. He feels as if was falling, but expected the fall itself… Since he met you properly, he knew you will part your days in a few weeks.
But if he could lengthen the time…
Even if it meant sacrificing the part of his pride…
He would try anything.
His face is covered with blushes, and his mouth twists with embarrassment when he notices how lame is the only excuse he can come up with now.
"Can-" He doesn't stutter but fights with his words. How can he say what he wants so you will understand? "Can we pretend for a little more? I'm sorry, but I told my mother that I have a partner, and she's excited to see you."
"So a next dinner!" Your hands clasp with enthusiasm, but you know you need to hold them to stop them from shaking. You need to keep calm and be a cool senpai. "Then, we are continuing our fake dating, hehe?"
Jack purses his lips, and to your surprise, he aggressively shakes his head.
"We can't. She will know if it's fake," he says in a dead-serious tone. Your mouth curls in a smile you try to cover with your hand.
"So we should be serious," you conclude, imitating the voice Jack used just before. And then you stand up from bed and make your way so that you are just before him. You put your hands on your sides. "But I am waiting for a proper confession."
Jack sighs softly.
"…You're making this hard for me," he says, but stands up. The morning rays of sunlight come through the window and enlighten his figure. His eyes shine with gold, and somehow you can't look away from them."…And it's weird because I wouldn't like it if you stopped complicating things." He puts his hand over his heart. "I simply want to stay by your side, now and… in the future… That's the only thing I wish now."
