note: WOW i'm so sorry for writing this anyways tagging @satoruhour for no reason except i'm evil 👍 ik we need fluff comfort rn but i had to get out at least one devastating post. anyways. enjoy the suffering!!
warnings — heavy pure angst prepare to suffer and cry more than you already are, implied death, chapter 236 spoilers
playme ♪ oh god it's you i watch tv with / when i wake up i see you with me... as long as i'm here, no one can hurt you
Tumblr media
scurrying around the kitchen, there's no free time when you've got a little mouth to feed. and you smile when you see your cute little girl devouring the bowl of steaming food. it's satoru's favorite, he asked you to make it today especially and you don't know why.
an hour goes by. you observe your child drawing a scribbly heart.
" what are you drawing ? " you ask, and she replies with " something for daddy. "
" it looks beautiful. who's that ? "
" that's you. and that's daddy. and that's me. "
" are we inside a heart ? "
" yup ! we're inside daddy's heart, because it has the most space. "
your heart feels a peculiar pang, and you look out the window. how strange, you felt like your whole world caved in for that split second.
" mommy, when is daddy coming home ? " your little girl asks innocently.
" soon, angel. "
you ring his number.
gojo satoru ~ i'm busy right now, leave a message — ow !
you remember the day he made this prerecorded messgae. his ow at the end is a reaction to your little girl biting him when she was teething, that was years and years ago now.
the little bell on her bracelet sounds. it's the bracelet that you and gojo wove together in high school; your little one had found it in your memory box and loved it so much that she asked if she could have it as her birthday gift.
that bell chimes as she moves her wrist to color in satoru's eyes with the prettiest blue crayon. and for some reason, it sounds louder than ever; you stare at it. why are tears coming forth?
the tv is playing. the birds are chirping. the world keeps spinning. but your world? it feels like it broke apart. and why? what was this feeling? you felt like... like something devastating has just happened.
you try satoru's phone again, wandering aimlessly into the kitchen. it feels eerily quiet and joyless.
gojo satoru ~ i'm busy right now, leave a message — ow !
you try it again.
gojo satoru ~ i'm busy right now —
you try it again.
gojo satoru ~
gojo satoru ~
gojo satoru ~
he was mimicking the way you always said his name in high school.
and you start breaking down crying, trying and trying repeatedly as if it would change anything. you don't need someone to knock on your door to tell you he's gone, because you can feel it; his spirit isn't in this world anymore. you and him were completely connected, a string between the two of you that linked your hearts and subconscious no matter the distance between them.
when you look up at the sky, there's an endless blue. but all you really think of when you see that sky is his eyes. when you first met, that was one of the first things you told him.
" your eyes put the skies to shame. "
and he replied with something so cheesy that for some reason made you fall in love with him right there.
" aw. well, you put the angels to shame. "
the food goes cold. in his last moment, when he detached from the world, he was thinking about returning home to you. that's why he had asked you to make his favorite, after all. he thought it would be nice to enjoy such a simple thing after saving the world.
it's funny, even if he would have saved the world, he wouldn't have been able to come home to boast about it to you; because you never knew that side of him.
you never knew he was gojo satoru.
you just knew he was your gojo satoru, your doting husband.
when those eyes stared up at the blue sky for the last time, he thought;
at least i got to say i love you to you this morning, and give you that big kiss. treasure it baby, there will be no more now.
Tumblr media
rest well honoured one.

The Bodyguard
Bodyguard!Natasha Romanoff x Actress!Reader
Natasha is tasked with being bodyguard to you and you two grow close. Maybe too close, but would she dare cross that line?
Note: I have finally written an installment of this au I’ve been thinking about. Let me know what y’all think! Enjoy!
Natasha Masterlist 1, Natasha Masterlist 2, Natasha Masterlist 3, Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
Natasha Romanoff is great at her job. In fact, she is so good that she has been in high demand in the bodyguard industry for years. She is tough, but her clients have nothing but good things to say about her.
Nat recently finished an assignment, and she is available. Your agent jumped on the opportunity to hire her to protect you. As an up-and-coming actress, you need a highly skilled security team. And you’re not exactly the easiest person to protect. You like to ditch your security whenever you can.
When she arrives at work, Natasha waits in her boss’s office to get her assignment. Fury walks in the door with a grin on his face. That’s never good, Nat thinks.
“How bad is it?” Nat asks.
Fury chuckles. “Have you heard of Y/n y/l/n?”
“The actress?”
“That’s the one,” Fury says. “Three movies in one year that reached number one at the box office.”
“And I bet she’s a pain in the ass,” Natasha says dryly. She crosses her arms. “You just told me that I was done covering actors.”
“Plans change, Romanoff. You’ll be meeting Miss y/l/n tomorrow at her New York penthouse.”
“Great,” Nat says sarcastically. “Next time I get to choose the job.”
“In your dreams,” Fury quips back.
Nat leaves his office and passes Carol and Valkyrie in the common area of the office. The two look suspicious as they straighten their clothes, but Nat is focused on finding out more about you.
“New assignment?” Valkyrie asks Nat.
“Yeah, an actress. Just my luck.”
“So, you got the Y/n y/l/n job? Impressive,” Carol says.
“Tell me that when the assignment is over,” Natasha replies. She walks to the door but stops short to turn around and say one last word to the woman. “Hey, we all know about you two by the way. It’s nice.”
Nat smirks and leaves the office. She spends the rest of the day googling you and trying to find out everything she can. Your portfolio is impressive, she must admit.
The next morning, Natasha wakes up early and goes for a run before getting ready to meet you. She wears a black suit and her beautiful red hair in a braid. The drive to your penthouse doesn’t take long.
You’re still in your pajamas when she arrives, but your assistant lets her in anyway. She takes a look around for a quick security check while she waits for you to emerge from your bedroom.
“Miss y/l/n, your new bodyguard is here,” your assistant, Kate, says.
Natasha comes into your view and your words catch in your throat. You’re not sure you’ve ever seen such a beautiful woman.
 “Oh, hi,” you say to her.
“Hello, Miss y/l/n,” she speaks, and your heart flutters. She holds out her hand for you to shake. “I’m Agent Romanoff.”
“Call me y/n,” you say as you shake her hand.
“I’d prefer to keep it professional, Miss y/l/n,” she says, trying to ignore that she finds you attractive.
“Right, okay.”
“I have a few rules,” Agent Romanoff begins. “Don’t try to lose me anywhere. It won’t work. Listen to me when I am trying to get you out of a situation or avoiding it all together.”
She pauses when you get out your phone to check a message. You reply and she waits to speak again.
“That was two rules,” you say. “Not a few.”
“Well, I assumed you stopped listening, so I stopped talking,” Nat says.
“I was listening.”
“Sure.”
“Tell me the last rule,” you say.
“That will have to wait,” your assistant interrupts you. “The car is here to take you to the photoshoot.”
Natasha turns to her, “I’ll need information about anyone who drives Miss y/l/n, and you’ll need to include me on all itineraries from this point on.”
“Okay,” Kate replies.
“Thank you.”
You grab your jacket and purse before heading down to the car that’s waiting outside. Nat follows you closely. There are a few fans waiting but nothing compared to some days. You get inside the car, and she sits in the seat next to you.
She buckles up and waits for you expectantly to do the same. The car is in motion before you do it, so takes it upon herself to reach over you and grab the belt.
“What are you doing?!” You ask her.
“You’re not invincible,” Nat says while clicking your belt into place.
You groan in annoyance, but you do feel warm at the thought of someone caring enough for you to make sure you are buckled. You really need to surround yourself with better people.
At the photoshoot, Nat stands guard. She stays out of the way but keeps an eye on you. She doesn’t mind watching you wear beautiful clothes and pose in appealing ways. The whole thing kind of turns her on.
The first few weeks of her employment goes like this. You attend events, parties, and photoshoots. You don’t give Nat any trouble. That is until the night of your birthday party.
The first part of the night went fine. So many people showed up that you didn’t even know them all, but that’s the industry for you. You are sitting at a table and flirting with one of your new colleagues when things take a turn for the worst.
“How about we find somewhere more private?” He leans in and asks you.
“Maybe another time,” you say. You like him just fine, but you really don’t want to leave the party yet. 
“Come on, baby. It’ll be fun.”
“Not tonight,” you reply.
You glance towards Nat who is across the room. She catches your eyes and walks closer to you, keeping her distance but ready to help if you need her.
“Y/n, let’s go,” the man says, taking your hand and trying to pull you up.
“No,” you say firmly.
“She said no,” your actress friend that you’re closest to, Wanda, jumps in.
“Come on,” he still won’t relent. His grip is tightening on your arm. It hurts. He leans closer to your lips. “Let’s just-”
“Hands off of her,” he is interrupted by Natasha getting in his face. She pushes his chest to get him off of you. He releases your arm, but doesn’t back down from Nat.
“What are you going to do about it?” He attempts to taunt her.
“Leave,” Nat says. “Or I’ll put you through that wall.”
“So dramatic,” he says. But he backs away and heads towards the door.
Once he is out of sight, Natasha turns back to you. Wanda and a few others are trying to protect you, but you only want comfort from one person. You practically jump into her arms as you try to hide your tears from anyone else. Nat hugs you back, but with hesitance.
She feels safe and warm as you let yourself go in her arms. Her black leather jacket collects your tears. She walks with you in her arms away from the crowd.
“Are you alright?” She asks, real concern in her eyes.
“I’m fine,” you say, but you don’t look it. Nat walks you to your car and inside the vehicle.
You look out the window and try to hold back your tears.
“Let me see your arm,” Nat says after a few minutes.
You hold it out for her to examine. She doesn’t see any injuries. Her touch is featherlight as she rubs her hands over the aching muscles.
“I’ll make sure he doesn’t get near you again,” she says.
“Thanks, Agent Romanoff,” you reply.
“You can call me Natasha,” she says.
“I love that name,” you tell her. She smirks.
“I’ll step in sooner next time, okay?”
“Okay. Maybe we need a code word or something,” you suggest.
“Like spies,” Nat jokes. You crack a smile, and she feels better about your state. “Let’s see. You can switch your drink from one hand to another.”
“We’ll workshop it, Natasha,” you say.
Nat nods. When you arrive at home, Nat helps you inside. She typically leaves you for the night, but you ask her to stay. Natasha sleeps on the couch.
When you wake in the morning, you find her sitting upright and ready to work. You sigh, thinking about the events from last night.
“What is it? Am I just not pretty?” You ask Natasha as you throw yourself onto the couch next to her.
“You know I can’t answer that and be professional,” Natasha replies.
She tries not to smirk at the way you dramatically sat down. She is slowly opening up to the idea of enjoying being around you as more than just her client.
“But you could just tell me because it seems that no one wants to date me,” you say.
“Y/n,” Natasha warns. “Trust me you are not the problem. I know for a fact people tell you that you are pretty all the time. Those assholes that go after you say it. You wouldn’t be a successful actress if you weren’t pretty.”
“Maybe, but I really don’t feel pretty.”
You sit up straighter and wait for Natasha’s response.
“You’re beautiful, y/n,” Natasha says sincerely.
“Really?”
“Really. Inside and out,” she says.
“I don’t know about that,” you reply despondently.
“I know. Look I haven’t known you but a few weeks, but I know that you’re a good person, y/n. And that makes you more beautiful than a million other people in the same position that you’re in,” Natasha explains.
There is no hesitation in her voice. It is nothing but the truth.
You feel yourself leaning in closer to her, but she moves away breaking the closeness. You try not to frown.
“Rule number three: We can’t get too close to each other,” Natasha says. “I have to protect you with a clear mind.”
“Okay,” you say. “But maybe we could break the rules, Natasha?”
To be continued…

MC's employer: With all the experiences you have, you could've applied to a better job rather than to stay in this old, pathetic flower shop.
MC: You have accepted my application. Are you regretting it now?
Their employer: I mean, you look kind, reliable, and I'm sure I can depend on you but it makes me so guilty because I can only give you a minimum wage.
MC: That's enough for me, Miss. Now I'm getting back to work. You wouldn't want the customers waiting.
Their employer: Oh surely. Wish you luck again today!
MC: Thank you, Miss. *goes back to the counter*
*a customer walks in*
MC: Hello there. What can I get for you?
Customer: I'm here to buy flowers.
MC: Is it a gift for a special someone? We have a ready-made bouquet.
Customer: No. I want you to choose flowers for me according to this message. *hands them a note*
"Please forgive me and come back."
MC: Perfect. We have all the flowers that you need. Please give me a moment to arrange them.
Customer: Take your time.
MC: *arranges the bouquet; finishes it within minutes*
MC: *returns to the counter* Would you like me to attach this message?
Customer: ...
Customer: No. This will do. Thank you.
MC: Thank you for choosing Fragrant Fields. Have a nice day.
*The customer leaves.*
Asmo: How is it, Lucifer? Did they notice that it's you?
Lucifer: *removes his disguise* No.
Satan: I really thought they would see right through it. Is it because they're no longer a sorcerer?
Mammon: Man! Now what?
Belphie: How about we show up and ask them directly to come back in Devildom?
Levi: Wouldn't that make things awkward though?
Beel: Yeah. MC left Devildom three years ago. We should've done it sooner.
Mammon: Well that's because Barbatos wouldn't let us!
Lucifer: *sigh* Don't start arguing here. We'll think of another way.
MC: ...
MC: Miss?
Their employer: Yes?
MC: I've got a text from my landlady that there was a sudden problem in my apartment. Would it be alright to sleep at your house nearby?
Their employer: Sure. No one's using it anyway. Here's the key.
MC: *chuckles* Thank you, Miss. You're so kind.
Their employer: *waves her hand dismissively* Close the shop for me, okay?
MC: Yes, Miss. Take care.
Solomon: Hello? MC? How are you?
MC: I'm doing fine. By the way...
MC: I've met Lucifer here in the human world.
Solomon: ...
Solomon: Did he bother you?
MC: *chuckles* He was in disguise so... I'm not really sure.
MC: Maybe he's not here for me.
Solomon: ...
Solomon: I wouldn't be so sure about that.
Solomon: What reason does he have to be in the human world other than taking you back?
MC: What for? I'm no longer any use of them.
Solomon: ...
Solomon: MC, I want to visit you. It's been three years.
MC: ...
MC: After I buy myself a house, I promise to invite you.
Solomon: *whines* But when will that be?
MC: *chuckles* I'm hanging up. Please take care.
Solomon: Take care of yourself too, MC. I'll call you again.
MC: *ends the call*
MC: ...
MC: *smiles to themselves* Now I feel so much better.
Mammon: So what time are they going home?
Asmo: It's already late. Are you sure this is where they're staying?
Satan: Yes. I can't be wrong.
Belphie: *is in MC's bed* Satan is right. This is really their apartment.
Mammon: Then where are they?!
Beel: I'm guessing that MC had guessed we're all in the human world and they're avoiding us.
Levi: What do you think, Lucifer?
Lucifer: ...
Lucifer: If that is the case, then I'm afraid I have to drag them back.
MC: *sleeping peacefully*
Luke: MC doesn't seem as exhausted as before.
Simeon: Hm-hm.
Luke: But Simeon, are you sure it's alright to see MC like this without them knowing?
Simeon: We just want to be sure that they're doing fine. And aren't you their guardian angel, Luke?
Luke: !!!
Luke: Y-Yes! I shouldn't feel guilty! It's my job to protect them!
Simeon: Shh. *smiles* You're going to wake them up.
Luke: R-Right...
Simeon: ...
Michael: MC is going to disappear soon.
Simeon: What do you mean by that?
Michael: ...
Michael: When a human disappears, wouldn't that only mean one thing?
Simeon: ...
Simeon: Please prevent it from occurring.

(Hey! I hope this ask isn't too nsfwish, if it is, feel free not to answer!)
Anyway, I wanted to request something for some Twisted Wonderland characters (I just got into the game a while ago and I'm almost finished with the main story for Scarabia! It's very addicting, lol)! Oh, and I don't know if you have a character limit, but I'll just request Ace, Trey, Cater, Floyd, Scarabia, and Epel! You can remove some characters if you want if it's too much.
Anyway, the request I wanted to make was, how do you think some of the Twisted Characters would react to, in the middle of class (or just during anytime of the school day), the Prefect/Reader sends them like, a suggestive photo of themselves while there out (which may have not seemed like that on the Perfect/Reader end, but might have been seemed different by the characters). How do you think the characters would react? And how would you think they would feel if another student tried peeping at the photo while they were looking at it?
If you decide to do this request, Thank you and I hope you have a nice day! :)
Thank you, I hope you do too
🖤🖤🖤
Tumblr media
Suggestive Selfies | Yandere Twisted Wonderland
As you mentioned most of the material they find to be particularly arousing doesn’t necessarily have anything sexual in nature but a yandere knows no bounds. Oh and for the poor soul that dared to lay their eyes on the photo meant specifically for them will be lucky to keep those:
Tumblr media
Ace Trappola
As one of your closest confidants Ace is one of the first to have access to you through text
As such its a given you are constantly going back and forth
About homework, hanging out, what you’re eating, whoyou’rewith
So its a given that you send him pictures 
It isn’t hard for him to ask either 
as long as he words it right
‘Bet. I doubt you actually just woke up’
‘Lol sucks to suck! Now what’d you bet’
He lets a mischevious smile spread across his face as he gets what he wanted
A picture of your minimalist pajama set and messy bedhead
All for his viewing pleasure
It was easiest to imagine waking up beside you this way
Especially after a heated night before
He does take notice to the peaking his roommate is doing
Quick to shove his phone in his pocket
Next day is all it takes for the trail of Riddle’s tart leading to the unsuspecting student
If that isn’t enough he’ll make a big accident potions class
That has the peeping tom feeling like a million fire ants are biting at his skin
“Don’t be looking at others toys, especially when I’m sitting right there. At that point you’re just asking me to defend!”
Tumblr media
Trey Clover
He knows you come running for his food
Free and easy its his way to get close to you without your little friends lackeys getting in the way
But he wasn’t expecting you to get so eager to replicate him
But he doesn’t hate the way you start sending him pictures of the things your making
Mostly because you unknowingly end up showing off whatever your wearing in your lonesome
Maybe a thigh in skimpy shorts 
Or the voice messages of you struggling with particularly thick batter 
That always has him excusing himself 
But most recently your picture of a the mini cake you made
Completely unaware of the ample view of your chest that came with it
It leaves nothing to the imagination andhelovesit
But before he can slyly dismiss himself 
He sees the eyes of someone in the reflection of his phone
He doesn’t react pretending to scroll before watching them avert
…so they really were watching…scum
He wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but now he’s got an unfortunate confirmation
“It’s a shame…that the next time you eat something it’ll be your last. Should know when to mind your business.”
Tumblr media
Cater Diamond
He’s one for pictures
If his story being updated every 30 minutes wasn’t enough
His text messages with you would prove him guilty
With nearly every word there's a picture from him
It wouldn’t be long before you followed suit
Mirroring the images he was so keen on sending you 
Eventually one slips through an accidental photo of your body suggestively peaking out 
He saves it in no time at all 
Already planning to post about how deep he’s in it
But instead he might post about him being in a different location
Then where he dumped the peeper’s body+
“Been here all day! Thinking only about gettinginto bae!”
Tumblr media
Floyd Leech
It’s an accident
Most of the time you’re just texting Floyd because you think its funny when he types incorrectly somehow virtually whines to you about not being with you
But you accidentally send a picture of yourself from an unreasonablelysexy angle
“I wanna bite! Where you at!” 
Unlike the others he’s not brushing it off or moving on
He’s abruptly leaving class to go find you to dealwithhisfrantichunger
No body’s looking at what made him do that 
Not unless they want to be strangled behind the school
“Oi oi did you like what you see…good for you now when you black out you’ll have pretty dreams of my shrimpy!” 
Tumblr media
Jamil Viper
He’s not usually one for texting 
But Kalim is
its more than likely when he has to go somewhere he’s receiving blurry photos of Kalim dragging you around
So he uses this opportunity to ask you for an actually good picture or video evidence
Granted he might’ve played a hand in that
He’s not complaining
Especially when your sending a video of you cheering him on 
A call out to a video Kalim had sent earlier
But the sound of your labored breathing, the close-up of your sweaty body
It leaves him showing through his basketball shorts
And when the nosey player peaks over his shoulder
He’s immediately hypnotizing him to injure himself in front of everybody
He thinks its a worthy punishment for trying to take one of the few things he owns
“Thanks for the cheers (Y/n), no doubt I’ll win the next game.”
Tumblr media
Kalim Al Asim
He loves texting you
Its like he’s speaking to you while being far away (duh)
It’s the best except…
He never gets to see your face
But you’re so agreeable all he has to do is ask
And sometimes if he keeps talking to you while you’re busy you’ll make mistakes
Mistakes like sending pictures of you posing in a mirror instead of the one you just took
“Delete this…maybe…no!”
He won’t allow anyone to look and if they do Kalim just stares
It doesn’t exactly click that they might have ill intentions
But theres still that nasty feeling in his chest
“Aren’t they pretty…they’re going to be mine one day. Understand!”
Tumblr media
Epel Felmier
He typically texts you when he’s deep in etiquette lessons 
It only motivates him to deviate even more
Won’t you think he’s manlier if you see how sneaky he is to take a picture now
Now you better send back its not fair that way
A selfie of something simple 
Something simple that doesn’t need to incite anything
Say that to the heat overtaking his body
If anyone should look over whether out of curiosity or their own interest
He’s throwin’ hands
“This. Picture. Is. For. My. Eyes. Only!”

omg you should totally write a blurb (or maybe a whole oneshot, it's up to you) about drew being the absolute SWEETEST when you're sick. Like he makes sure every need of yours is catered you, that all the things you may need are kept on your bedside table at ALL TIMES, makes sure you have your comfort plushie with you IT WOULD BE SO CUTE
You can also write this for soft!rafe! Whatever you write, I know it will be soooo good <3 <3
YUP YUP YUP CORRECT I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS
idk this is just the vibe i get from him like for real,, but also soft!rafe i think would be very similar, especially with not knowing what the correct meds were and dragging you back to bed haha. anyway! enjoy!! i loved writing this sm omg-
send me other requests here !!!
you don't get sick often, but when you do? it's a whole event. growing up you'd always handled it yourself, rarely ever spending the day in bed and truly resting, letting something like a silly cold or flu stop you from getting things done. that changed when you started dating drew.
it's only happened once or twice since you've been together, but after the first time when he practically shoved you into bed, running to your side and carrying you back to the bed or your couch every time you got up for something and insisting he would do it for you, you started to succumb to your fate. it was very comforting, after all, the change of pace that was having someone who wanted to take care of you.
most of the time, honestly, he would know you were sick before you did, and you'd wake up to you having kicked your blankets off and his hand on your forehead, frowning down at you as your eyes flutter open. "you're sick." he would mutter, planting a kiss on your forehead as he moved his hand and quickly getting up.
he would disappear and return a few minutes later with your favourite water bottle and a cold, damp cloth, and an armful of every medication he could find in your bathroom cabinets.
you fell into a nice, stable routine when you were sick, in which you laid in bed and rested, whether that be playing video games or watching tv, or on particularly bad days just laying in the dark and regretting not eating more oranges while your head pounded. all you needed to do if you needed anything at all was text him, assuming he wasn't already at your side, and he would appear within moments. your favourite summoning message was 'help!', which you would type out and hit send, and listen with a smile for you to hear a chair scraping or shuffling followed by hurried footsteps approaching your room. "what do you need, love?" he would ask, standing in the doorframe incase what you needed was in the kitchen or the bathroom, he would be able to get it faster that way. no matter what your request was, you would have it in a matter of minutes, at the very latest.
occasionally, if you were feeling well enough to get up and stretch your legs and go to the kitchen for your own water bottle refill, you wondered how he could even hear you when he seemingly apparated to your side immediately. "you should be in bed! go back to bed, i'll get it." he'd usher you away, or sometimes (if he knew a headache wasn't your affliction, which would only get worse by being thrown around), he'd pick you up and carry you back to bed himself.
on days where he couldn't stay home to dote on your every need, he would shove your favourite childhood stuffie into the top of your shirt like it was a baby carrier, insisting that they take care of you while he's away. (but of course, if you hit him with the 'help!' text, he'd ditch whatever work he’s doing in a minute to be there for you, even if that meant rescheduling a shoot or a table reading to get home)
he'd always tuck in you and your stuffie of choice before he ever had to leave the room, and would come back every twenty minutes if he knew you were asleep to make sure the blanket was still covering you in hopes of making your fever break, but also not wanting you to get cold, even in your sleep. he'd run you twelve baths in a day if you asked, sometimes just running you one and then asking if you wanted to get in. which of course, rarely would you ever say no to a bath. and god forbid you run out of your favourite tea, all the windows in your kitchen would be perpetually foggy from him boiling and reboiling so much water for you.
he’d put on your favourite show and movies, and watch them repeatedly with you if you wanted. he’d apologize endlessly for turning on the bedroom light if you had a migraine, also apologizing through the whole noisy process of taping tinfoil over the window to keep both the heat and the light out. “i’m sorry, i’m so sorry, love, i’m almost done. i promise.” he didn’t want to disturb you, and felt so guilty when he had to to make sure you took your medicine or were staying hydrated.
when you tell him you’re feeling better, he’s always skeptical. he never believes you at first, continuing to insist that you “sleep it off” for at least a day before he lets you rejoin society in any meaningful way, and you are yet to decide whether or not it’s because he just really likes doting on you.
bonus: checking your temperature by pressing his lips to your forehead!!!

There's no warning this time. It's pure fluff! Enjoy <3

The night was fun, you felt happy and relaxed with the girls at the bar. It was a long time ago since you were able to spend a night out with them, just like in the old days. Life has changed and you all grew up. Becoming adults from those teenage girls who once wanted to save the whole world. As you were waiting at the counter, tapping your feet to the rhythm of the current song you spotted a group of soldiers walking in. All of them were wearing the same uniform, which made them truly attractive. One of them, the tallest one with snow white hair and ocean blue eyes, caught your attention instantly. The second he made eye contact with you and even sent a soft smile towards you, the blush crawled upon your face quickly.
Chatting and laughing with the girls about sweet nothings a waiter appeared at your table.
“Your drink, ma’am.” he placed it in front of you politely.
“Uhm, I didn’t order anything.” you furrowed your brow.
“That man over there…” he pointed at the handsome soldier “sent the drink to you.” he smiled before leaving the table.
You placed your fingers around the glass, slowly grabbing and raising it up high with a slight nod towards him. He bit his bottom lip gently and raised his own drink to the air as well. 
As the night passed the girls wanted to dance. They begged you to join them, but you weren’t really in the mood. 
“Go, go!” you shooed them away. Staying alone at the table after a few minutes you saw the white haired man standing up and walking exactly to you. 
“May I?” he asked, looking at the chair next to you. “I’m Satoru Gojo.”
“Sure.” you smiled “Nice to meet you. I’m Y/N L/N. By the way, I’ve never seen you guys before. You’re not from around here, are you?”
“No.” he chuckled. “It’s the night before we deploy overseas and we wanted to have some drinks tonight. Maybe dancing a bit. Speaking of which, would you…?” he stood up, while offering his hand to take.
“I’m not a great dancer.” you took his hand hesitantly. 
“It’s a slow song anyway.” he teased. 
The music was relaxing and exciting at the same time, as you moved your body to the rhythm, letting him put his huge palms on your hips. You threw your hands around his neck and rested your cheek on his massive chest. It felt nice, it felt calming…it felt natural. 
The rest of the night rushed away and you didn’t even realize it was getting really late. 
“We should leave.” one of his comrades walked up to your table, placing a hand on Gojo’s shoulder.
“Oh, yeah. Okay. Just give me a minute. I’ll join you soon.” he flashed a not too honest smile. “I’m glad we met.” he turned back to you after the guy left. “Can I have your number? We could text, if you want.”
“Sure.” you nodded “Give me your phone.”
You typed your number and made a call, so now you had his number as well. “I don’t know what is the proper way to say goodbye. Stay safe, maybe?” you giggled awkwardly.
“Yeah. I will, don’t worry.” he blushed slightly, before standing up and joining his team. 
***
It had been weeks since that amazing night with Gojo. In the beginning you were thinking of him a lot. You hesitated to either text him or wait for him to start a conversation. After a week you gave in and sent him a short but cute message.
“Hey, it’s me, Y/N. I hope everything’s fine over there.”
But since you didn’t receive any response you slowly let it go. Five more weeks had passed, when out of the blue your phone buzzed in the middle of the night. You didn’t wake up to the sound of your phone, so you saw the message only in the morning. 
“Hey, Y/N. I’m so sorry that I didn’t text you earlier. In my defense I’ve been on a mission for weeks and wasn’t able to use any internet connection. I suggest you write me a letter to the address I leave at the end of the message. In that way we’ll be able to keep in touch. Can’t wait to hear from you!”
Somehow you felt more excited about the text as you expected. A warm feeling crawled under your skin and you swung your legs over the bed immediately, jumping off and rushing to your desk quickly. After searching for some letter paper you started to write that very first letter. 
You had no idea it was going to become a weekly habit, which you were doing so happily. It became natural after a few weeks. The most beautiful sound to your ears was the postman’s yelling, making a sign that Gojo’s letter arrived. 
The first thing you did was ripping up the envelope and reading every single sentence eagerly. Probably more than once, because you rushed through so quickly at first that you couldn’t remember what he actually wrote to you. Grabbing the paper and the pen you started to write right away, using the exact same greeting as always.
“Dear Satoru,
I’m so happy that I finally got your letter. I swear moments like this are the highlights of my week. It’s safe to say I’m getting addicted to writing you letters. 
I know you’re not allowed to talk about the things you do there, I don’t even ask you to do it. But I do hope that everything goes well and you are safe. Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming about you. (Stop laughing!) I can’t help it, okay? I wish we could meet and I don’t know, just spend a nice evening together, talking about things we usually do in these letters. Wouldn’t it be nice? I think it totally would be!
I also know my writing is chaotic since I’m jumping from one topic to another all the time, but I’m sure you can bear with it. Right? 
Speaking of chaos… The other day I woke up with a terrible headache, so I decided to take a relaxing shower. I can’t remember if I mentioned it before, but I’m terrified of spiders. Anyway, now you know it for sure. So I was washing my hair, when I looked up at the ceiling and spotted that beast. I swear my heart skipped a beat. I wanted to finish quickly and leave the bathroom as soon as possible. But my spider buddy thought otherwise. The next moment I looked up, he disappeared! He was just not there! You know, where he was? Yeah… halfway down. My blood froze in my veins, I never in my life left the shower as fast as I did then. I ran to the kitchen for some bug spray and grabbed the broom. And guess what? I was brave enough to kill it! 
Phew, even thinking about it now gives me goosebumps. So as you can see, I’m a hero myself as well. 
I hope to hear from you soon, ‘Toru. 
xoxo,
Y/N”
Gojo was just as eager to read your letter as you were about his. Especially laughing at the part, where you asked him not to. A wilde smile appeared on his face, while reading about your battle against the spider. He truly adored you and found you super cute. During the day he caught himself daydreaming about you, creating scenarios in his mind, how would he ask you out on a date. How he would treat you the best he could. Actually he got to the realization he grew fond of you, forming feelings he wouldn’t think it was possible. Satoru Gojo was undeniably falling for you. 
That night he sat down in his chair and got ready to write you the letter. But this time he was aware it was going to be a bit different from the previous ones. He wanted to test the water, but was just cautious enough not to cross any line. After all, you wrote some interesting things as well. 
“Dear Y/N,
First of all I need to say thank you for making me laugh. Your letter was truly entertaining to read. Daydreaming about me? That’s very sweet of you. What exactly do you daydream about? Let me tell you a secret… I do the same. I catch myself thinking of you lately way too often. I’m certain it would be wonderful to spend an evening together and chatting like we did at the bar that night. Remember? I also recall that dance we shared. What was the song? Oh, yeah. Broken by Lovelytheband. I listen to that song quite often. 
I’m amazed how brave you were while eliminating your arch enemy. But I have to be honest my mind zoned out a bit, when you mentioned you were taking a shower. I wish I was there… I mean, I wish I was there to protect you from that spider. 
My days are the same as usual, which is fine. When a soldier is bored it means everything is calm. I wish I could tell you more, but unfortunately I can’t.
Nowadays I read a lot. Currently I’m reading The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. I enjoy the drama and I’m so rooting for the main characters to get together, even if it seems impossible. In my opinion, when something seems completely unlikely it doesn’t mean it can’t happen. I mean I’ve never thought I’d find a girl like you and yet here we are, aren’t we? Do you like reading? If yes, do you have a favorite book? 
I’m already looking forward to hearing about your next adventure. Please take care!
Truly yours, 
Satoru”
Gojo proofreaded his letter at least four times before sliding it into a simple envelope and closing it, while biting his bottom lip. He knew exactly that he hid some sentences with a double meaning between the lines and he was eager to find out your reaction. 
“I wished you were here, too…” was your first thought, when you read his letter. And got yourself blushing at the idea of being in the shower with him. “Damn you, ‘Toru…” you sighed, slightly shaking your head “What are you doing to me?”
***
Satoru was tapping his feet nervously in the taxi, holding a bouquet, biting his bottom lip. He just landed a few hours ago. After going home and getting ready his first thing was to visit you. Surprise you. And man, you were more than surprised. 
In the middle of the evening you heard some knocking on the door. You furrowed your brows, as you walked in the direction of the noise. You didn’t really expect anyone to show up, so you were curious who it could be. One more knock, a bit louder one this time.
“I’m coming!” you shouted and hurried your steps.
As you opened the door you froze in your action for a second. But only for a brief second.
“‘Toru!” you screamed as you jumped into his neck like it would have been the most natural thing to do. He almost lost his balance and stepped back a few times, while you were clinging on him like a Koala, hands around his neck, legs around his waist.
Gojo tried his best not to laugh at your unexpected reaction, holding you with one of his hands, while trying not to drop your beautiful bouquet either. But when he heard you sobbing his expression changed immediately.
“Hey, Y/N! Hey…it’s okay.” he hushed you with such a gentle voice, but it just made you cry even more. You weren’t able to say a single word, just hugging him tight and taking his sweet scent in. 
Satoru wasn’t sure what to do, he didn’t want to put you down either, he loved feeling your body pressing against his own. And actually he found your action really cute. The first step was cautious, but you didn’t react, so he kept walking right into your home. His eyes swept the area, before he decided to head to the kitchen. The second he softly lowered you on the counter you snapped back to reality and let go of his body.
“Oh, my God! I’m so sorry.” you rubbed your eyelids with the back of your hand. “You really did surprise me.” you chuckled awkwardly, while blushing from head to toe. 
“Well, I can tell…” he teased. “But I’m glad I made you happy.” he looked away, as he felt the blush on his face as well. “Here, I brought this for you.” he handed you the flowers. The beautiful blue roses, which happened to be your favorite ones. 
“I will put them into water.” you wiggled on the counter, but he stepped closer, standing exactly between your legs.
“Can we stay like this for a second?” he cooed, pulling you into his chest, hugging you tight. 
“I know it sounds weird and everything…” you mumbled under your nose “but I missed you terribly.” you hummed, while clenching your fingers into his shirt on his back. 
“I’m here now, princess and I’m not going to go anywhere anymore.” he planted a featherlight kiss at the top of your head.

Chaeyoung’s BestFriend
Smut (rough sex, blow job, masturbating)
Tumblr media
Chapter 171
It's been a week since the Momo and Chaeyoung moment. Ever since that day both for them have been particurily attached to you, especially chaeyoung. She's been waking you up with daily head. There's even times when she’s been offering her cunt as a cock warmer, helping go to sleep better during the cold nights.
Today is a Friday aftersoon and chaeyoung has asked You to take her to a cafe to meet her best friend.You agree, knowing that this would give you an excuse to visit the office and turn in somework.
You leave Chaeyoung the cafe near the JYP building and tell her to call you when she's done.
“Okay, I'll let you know when to pick me up.”
After spending a couple of hours at the office you decide to text her.
"Are you ready? I haven’t received a message from you."
"Oh yeah, sorry. I forgat to text you. I'm at my mon's house. Can you pick me up here?”
“I'm on my way."
It takes you less than thirty minutes to get to her house. You park your car on the street and begin to walk towards her house. As you are walking you see Mrs. Son, she’s trying to carry grocery bags but is struggling.
“Hello Mrs. Son. Remember me?”
“Ahh yes. You’re Chaeyoung’s friend from work.”
“Do you need some help with the bags? I’m here to pick up Chaeyoung and I’m more than happy to help.”
“You’re so sweet and thoughtful. I’ll take you up on the offer.”
Not wanting to take multiple trips you grab as many bags as you can and take them up the stairs. You were your way through the house and place them on the kitchen counter.
“Thank you so much, it’s really helpful having a strong man” as she grabs on your biceps and gives them a squeeze.
“Oh my god, they’re so big and hard” as she blushes to the fact that she touched you. “I’m sorry that I grabbed you out of nowhere.”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind. Hopefully Mr. Son doesn’t get jealous haha.”
“Oh stop kidding no one is going to get jealous. There is no Mr. Son who can get jealous.”
“Oh… I’m sorry. I… I didn’t mean to pry.”
“No, it’s okay. I don’t mind. Chaeyoung’s father hasn’t been in the picture for many years. It doesn’t bother me.”
Your feel bad for bringing up any possible negative memories so you offer to help, “if you ever need any help that’s too much for you I’m willing to stop by.”
“You’re so kind, I’ll appreciate the offer” as she’s picking away some of the groceries.
Just then you hear as the door slides wide up, “Oppa what are you doing here with my mom?”
“Be nice to your fiend, he was helping me with the groceries.”
“I’m sorry Oppa” says Chaeyoung apologetically.
“Anyways, I’ll leave you youngsters for a while, I’m going to head to the gym.” She looks at Chaeyoung and say “don’t cause any trouble for him, he’s really a sweet and helpful guy. Make sure you listen to him.”
“Yeah, Chaeyoung make sure you listen to this Oppa of yours” as you mock her.
“Don’t… it’s weird when you call yourself like that.” Chaeyoung’s mom laughs at both of your arguing and collects her bag and exits out through the front door.
You wait for the the clicking sound of the door being lock and you walk towards Chaeyoung and say “didn’t I tell you to call me when you were done? I was wondering where you were since you can’t be out by yourself.”
“I’m sorry it’s just…” Chaeyoung isn’t able to finish her sentence as she’s taken by surprise with the slap you give her on her ass.
You pick her up and carry her towards her room, open the door and throw her on the bed. She struggles to get away from you as she sees the devilish look in your eyes. “Come here, I’m going to teach you a little lesson.” “Wait… wait there..” as she’s cut off again.
You pull down her pants and underwear as well as pull down yours, revealing you semi hard cock. Your hands go to her shirt ripping it off, “you’re mine now” as you begin to play with her nipples. Chaeyoung moans to her nipples being played with and watch as her slit is getting wetter as time goes by.
Having your cock ready you pull her close to you and align yourself to her entrance. “Fuck… this little pussy is so cute, I can’t wait to split it wide open.” You press the head of your cock to her entrance and watch as her tiny cunt begins to welcome you.
“Hmm… Oppa you’re too big…” as she takes the length of your cock. You place yourself in the valedictorian sex position, trying to the reach her depths of her womb. The way her face looks seems like she’s an addict to your cock, heart shaped eyes. You begin to pound her tight little cunt, making sure that you scrape every inch of her womb. Chaeyoung’s moans begin to cover the whole room as she is enjoying every part of you.
Both of you enjoying each other, unaware of your surroundings. Little did you know that you two were not alone.
On the other side of the bathroom there was Chaeyoung’s best friend, Jeon Somi. She invited Chaeyoung to catch up since they have not seen each other for a couple of months. They both shared things that were going on with their life and how their career as idols were going. Somi was excited to share the news that she was finally going to debut as a solo artist under The Black Label. After leaving JYP she worked really hard to promote herself as an independent artist and it’s finally paid off through.
Chaeyoung was more than happy with Somi’s accomplishments. She knows how much she sacrificed and how much she worked to debut as a soloist. Every since Twice’s debut she kept in touch with Somi. Chaeyoung also had some news on her own to share with Somi.
Somi was aware that Chaeyoung was different from normal people, she did what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to do it even if it. Chaeyoung’s curiosity of the world is what made her special. Somi wanted to do like Chaeyoung, someone who was free and willing to explore.
So when Chaeyoung told her about how she had sex for the first time, she was surprised. She couldn’t believed it, her unnie that she has admired was growing up. “Want me to show you something, Somi?” as she pulls out her phone. She swipes through her phone and shows some explicit phones of her sucking cock, getting fucked from behind, cum on her face and of her leaking cum from her little cunt.
“Chaeyoung unnie, you shouldn’t be showing me this in public. What if someone sees?” says Somi in a worried voice. Somi looks around to make sure that no one can see but lucky they are in in the corner of the cafe. “Don’t worry no one can see anything, but did you like what you see?”
“I can’t believe you actually did it, when did you have time? With who? Where?” whispers Somi. Hearing Somi so interested makes her smile, she knows that she’s finally found someone she can talk to who’s not a group member. They go back and forth, talking about Chaeyoung’s experience and how it happened. It even got to the point where they both decided to go back to her place since they were both end up laughing too loudly in the cafe.
They talk along the way to Chaeyoung’s house, laughing amongst each other. When they get to her house they go both straight to her room. “So what do you think? I’m finally an adult now, through and through.”
“You never told me who he was, unnie.”
“You’ll find out, he’s gonna stop by later on today.” They didn’t have to wait too long when they hear a man’s voice as you help Chaeyoung’s mom with the groceries. “Go hide in the bathroom, I’ll show you something good” as she walks to the door with a smile.
Somi hides in the bathroom but keeps a small opening as she waits for Chaeyoung to come back. She waits and waits until finally the door slams wide open and sees how her unnie is thrown onto the bed. She watches as chaeyoung gets her clothes ripped off by the unknown person. She sees when her unnie finally gets penetrated, moans out loud, and gets thrusted. Chaeyoung’s small tits jiggle as she holds on tightly to the bedsheets, sees the back of the mystery man and how strong it looks.
Chaeyoung turns her head, facing towards the bathroom door. Somi can see how much her unnie likes to get fucked, it amazing her. Chaeyoung grabs the mystery’s man head and begins to kiss him, which makes Somi wet.
She can’t help to to stare at the man’s large and strong back and lower body. Suddenly she see the man position himself better and say “I’m going to cum”, making her remember the voice of the person.
“Wait… it can’t be… no…” says to herself. Somi seems to have an idea on who it is but doesn’t want to accept. She tries to get a better look, causing her to push the door open and says “is that you Oppa?”
You hear a familiar voice and try to turn your head but chae catches you off guard. She constricts her walls tighter, making you cum instantly.
After finishing pumping your load you finally turn to see Somi standing by the bathroom door, wet as her small shorts are damp.
“Why are you here Somi?” as you try to pull out of Chaeyoung, trying to cover yourself.
“I can’t believe it’s you who’s fucking Chaeyoung unnie. What about Jihyo unnie?”
“Wait… I can explain…” but you can see the tears in her eyes.
“It’s okay, Somi. Jihyo unnie give us permission to have sex with him.”
“What do you mean, us?”
“I mean us, as in the group has been having sex with Oppa.”
“I… I can’t believe it” as she’s tries to understand the situation, looking at both the naked bodies of people she thought she knew.
“To let you the truth… I’m Oppa’s cocksleeve” as she giggles.
“Cocksleeve? What does that mean?”
“It means that I’m for Oppa’s exclusive use. He can use me however he wants, whenever he wants and cum inside of me as much as he wants.”
“Is that true oppa?”
“Yes.”
“Is Jihyo unnie really okay with it?”
“Surprisingly yes, she actually encouraged so of the members” as you think back about the past.
“Haha if you only knew what happens back home you’d be surprised.”
“What do you mean, Chaeyoung?”
“Don’t…” you said but you can’t stop to what she’s about to say.
“Oppa even got Jihyo unnie pregnant.”
“Wait… what?”
“Yes… want to know what else?”
“What?”
“It’s not just Jihyo unnie but also Mina and Dahyun unnie. He got all of them pregnant with his huge cock” as she grabs onto you cock like a godlike prize.
Somi’s brain can’t process all this information at once and sits down on the bed. She’s spaces out , trying to understand how her Oppa who she met many years ago get her unnies pregnant.
Chaeyoung tríes to help out Somi and gets closer to her, but accidentally shows her cunt that is leaking cum.
Somi feels something gooey on her hand and turns her head, noticing something white. “Eww… what is this?”
“It’s Oppa’s babybatter” as she swipe a bit of it and shows it to Somi. Not knowing to what to do she asks “is that what but unnies pregnant?”
“Yes, it’s amazing. It feels so good when it he pumps it into you.” Chaeyoung looks at the frozen Somi and says “I see you’re wet down there, seems like your interested.”
“No, I’m not. It’s just hot” says Somi hesitantly.
“I know you want to… how about it, what to taste it?” as she places her finger right next to Somi’s mouth.
“Don’t mess with her Chaeyoung. You don’t have to do it Somi. I’m sorry that you had to see us like this.”
Somi looks and Chaeyoung’s face and wants to be like her unnie. She’s hesitant but she doesn’t want to get left behind, Chaeyoung’s her best friend. “Chaeyoung wouldn’t do something if she knew I couldn’t handle it, right?” thinking to herself.
With that she does away with her hesitation as she takes her first step buy licking the cum of Chaeyoung’s finger.
“Fuck… not again” you say internally as you see Somi lick your cum off Chaeyoung’s finger.
“How was it? Was it good?”
“It was a bit salty but if you like it unnie then I like it, too” says Somi, not wanting to disappoint her. Chaeyoung smiles and hugs Somi, “I knew you’d like. See Oppa I have a new playmate!”
You can’t believe she turned her best friend into her plaything, but do find it kind of hot in the idea.
“So Somi… how about you try it straight from the source?”
“You mean…”
“Yes, have Oppa give it to you. I know find Oppa hot, so this is your chance” while giving you a wink.
“I don’t know… I’m scared. It’s my first time… maybe another time” says Somi while playing with her hair.
Chaeyoung not wanting to lose her new toy she says, “how about you watch us do it. Maybe that might chance your mind.”
“Chaeyoung—ah don’t force her to do things she doesn’t want. Not everyone is as thirsty as you. Please don’t misunderstand Somi, Chaeyoung here is a bit too much and can be a handle full.”
“I… I don’t mind watching you to. It’s true what unnie said, I do think you’re kind of hot” as she blushes.
“See, what did I tell you. Our Somi isn’t that innocent as you might think. So how about it Oppa? Want to give Somi a show?”
Not going to lie you do find it kind of hot having someone watch you as you fuck your cocksleeve. “Okay, if Somi’s okay with it then I’m up for it.”
“I really want to see” as Somi holds on to your arm while hiding her face with her other hand.
You need no more as you turn to Chaeyoung and begin to fuck her.
Somi can’t believe that she’s watching bother her best friend and her Oppa fucking right in front of her. At the beginning she didn’t know what to do, sitting on the couch as her Oppa thrusted inside of Chaeyoung. After some time of hearing the moaning and the sound of flesh hitting each other she began to feel a hot and tingling sensation down in her nether regions.
She began to take her sweater and rub her fingers against her the fabric that was covering her pussy. The wetness coming from her pussy was going through the fabric and she decided to take off her leggings.
Somi was now in a bra and underwear as she continued to touch herself. She would type to keep in sync to the rhythm you and Chaeyoung would fuck. After some time she could feel a tingling sensation as both of you were reaching your peak.
“I’m cumming… please cum inside of me” begged Chaeyoung. Somi was as you pulled out your cock and slammed it deep inside of her, cumming instantly. She too, came as drenched her underwear with her nectar.
After some time you pulled out and turned towards Somi, seeing how she was still shaking from her orgasm. You could see that she enjoyed the show. “I think our little Somi wants to go next” says Chaeyoung.
You walk towards Somi and grab her hand, she accepts and you walk her to the bed. Somi let’s herself get pulled down by Chaeyoung and shyness rolls her fists on her chest, awaiting to be played with.
“Are you going to want to go all the way?” asks chaeyoung?”
Somi nods her head from side to side, “no, I… I don’t think I’m mentally ready yet. I want him to touch me here” as she points to her damp underwear.
“Ohh… Somi wants oppa to touch her private parts” giggles Chaeyoung. “Is that true? you ask and immediately get a nod.
You stand up and are right in front of her as she laying down on the bed. You grab the side of her underwear and begin to pull them down, slowly. You watch as Somi immediately turns to the side, trying to hide her face, not able to see you as you pull down her underwear.
The sight of her pale white skin and her blondish public hair when it’s not longer covered. “Omg… its so cute” as Chaeyoung caress Somi’s bush. “I’ve never seen something like this before, its cute.”
“No, dont look at it. I haven’t shaved” she whines.
“It’s okay, I find it really sexy. I enjoy my woman all natural”, trying to make her feel comfortable. Hearing that seems to make her more relaxed. You lower your face and slowly place a kiss on her lower lips, making her squeal and shiver up.
Immediately you get up and walk towards the couch and take a sit. “Come over here and sit” as you point at the small empty space in front of you. Somi stands up and begins to walk but don’t before you tell her to take of her bra. “Take of your bra, I want to see all of you.” She stands in front of you and begins to undo her bra, dropping it on the floor and continues to walk towards you. Finally in front of you she turns around and sits in-between your legs. “Relax and try to enjoy, okay?” She nods her head.
“Wait… let me get your phone. I want to make sure it lasts.”
“Unnie, you’re going to film it?”
“Yes, of course. It’s your first time with a guy. You need to make sure you remember this moment.”
“Okay, unnie. I trust you.”
No other ways are need as you spread her legs open, placing them on the outside of your thighs. You graze your hand on her lower area, causing her to get goosebumps. You lick to of your fingers on your right hand and begin to trace her lips and place your left hand on her plumpy breast. She moans as you touch her and she places her head on your chest, surrendering herself to you.
This the signed that you needed to continue as you use your two fingers to spread her lips open as you enter her. The feeling of her walls are out of this world, she’s extremely tight. You can barely fit two fingers inside of her and resort to using just one.
Working your way inside you are met with lots of resistance, knowing that your the first person to ever be inside of her. This makes you even more excited and causes your cock to harder up and her the back of her ass. “Oppa i can feel something hard on my butt.”
“Don’t worry, its just my cock. It’s hard right now.
“Okay.”
You continue and feel a small barrier that is preventing you from going any further. “So it’s true, this is your first time.”
“Yes… I’ve never been touched before.”
“Aww… out little Somi is a virgin” she says proudly.
“No… don’t say that. It’s embarrassing.”
“Want oppa to pop your cherry with is finger now or with is cock later on?”
She hesitates to respond but eventually says, “later.”
“What did you say? I couldn’t hear you.”
“I… I said I want oppa’s cock to pop my cherry, later!”
“That’s my girl.”
Knowing the answer you pull away from her hymen and going thrust your finger enough to leave it intact. You turn your attention to her clit and start to play with it. Taking turns playing with her wall, clit and tits is making her hot and sweaty. You spend a good amount of time pleasuring those areas until she begins to jerk around, signaling that she’s about to have an orgasm. “Oppa… I feel weird. I thinking I’m about to cum.” This is the moment you were waiting for and whisper in her ear, “cum, let your unnie see you cum.”
Somi squirts a large stream of liquid towards the area that Chaeyoung is at. She shakes violently as she’s riding her orgasm that you need to hold her tightly. Holding her for a couple of minutes you see that she’s breathing heavily and is digging her nails on your thighs.
After a couple of minutes her shaking stops and her body becomes loose. Having on energy at all you pick her up and carry her towards the bed and lay her flat. Chaeyoung asks her, “did you enjoy it?”
“Yea… yeah… I…I did. I liked it a lot.”
“Well… that was just a little taste. Imagine what it feels like when his shoves his large cock inside of you.”
“You really did a good, Somi.”
“That’s true. You really did a good job but now you need to make oppa cum.” Somi looks around confused, not knowing what to do. “Grab his cock” whispers Chaeyoung.
Somi grabs your cock with her cold, soft hands. She listens to Chaeyoung’s instructions as she tells her what to do. Somi slowly begins to jerk your cock up and down, pulling on your harden rod. Her moves are those of an inexperienced person because it has no rhythm but is still good for a person’s first time.
You then decide to lead her and tell her how to give you a proper hand job. She pumps your cock slowly but is increasing her pace gradually over time. With your advice she’s gaining more confidence and seems more interested in seeing you finish. Once you feel that your balls are able to explode you warn her, “I’m going to cum soon, lay down.”
She does as she’s told and lays flat on the bed. You grab your cock and give it a couple more jerks, making your shoot out a load of cum. You stain her cunt,stomach, bellybutton,and chest, letting her own that her body is now marked by you and only you.
“Get down on your knees, I’m going to cum on your face.” Chaeyoung pulls her down to the floor and gets on her knees with Somi. Chaeyoung wanting to take part opens her mouth and sticks her tongue out. Somi turns her head towards Chaeyoung and sees what she is doing and copies her.
Now you have two beauty women on their knees, waiting you to stain their face with your cum. Not wanting to make them wait any longer you shoot your cum on their face as you hold your phone, recording this wonderful moment. Your baby batter paints their hair, eyes, nose, and the inside of their mouth, leaving no spot cleaned for the both of them.
After getting their their face painted you stand and wait for them to react. Chaeyoung swipes her finger across her face and tries to collect as much cum and licks her finger clean. Somi on the other hand is frozen, not knowing what to do in this type of situation. Chaeyoung being the helpful unnie that she is grabs Somi’s faces and begin to lick it clean. She collects as much cum as she can with her tongue and gives Somi an sloppy kiss.
Somi is surprised by Chaeyoung’s sudden move but accepts it and continues. You watch both girls are kissing each other passionately as they share your cum inside their mouths.

VALLIE
Sunlight warms my eyelids and gently lulls me awake. My eyes shoot open at the realization that I have once again fallen asleep somewhere that isn’t my home – well my pseudo-home anyway. It seems that anywhere else feels homier than my showroom-esque Airbnb.
This time I don’t wake up in a panic, the smell of Christian’s woodsy cologne reassures me that I’m somewhere safe. The last time stamp I saw on my phone last night was 4:30 am. We had spent the whole night catching up, watching our favorite comfort shows, and binging all his favorite American snacks that he can’t get in Australia.
I reach over to the nightstand to grab my phone. A groan escapes me when I see that the time reads 8:47 am. My brows curve up at the ridiculous amount of notifications that fill my screen. While my job doesn’t really have “days off”, I had no specific plans or meetings booked for the day. So, it’s unexpected.
Most of them were from Bryan, the Omens’ photographer that I met at the warehouse with Noah. The messages flood my screen with missed calls and texts.
Bryan: Warehouse. 8 am.
Bryan: Hello? Are you awake?
Bryan: Music video. Today.
Bryan: I think you should be there.
Bryan: Hey!!! Music video !! Today !! 8 am !!
Bryan: Dude
Bryan: We’re starting. Show up whenever, if you want.
Fuck.
Kras continues to snooze next to me and I know that not even a plane crash could wake him up. So, I press a quick peck on his cheek before I roll out of bed and quickly begin gathering my belongings.
I’m rushing because well… Bryan seems like the only Omen who wants to cooperate or include me in any actual band activities. So, I have to be here. And I’m already an hour late.
I leave a small note on Christian’s dining table, saying how nice it was to see him, thanking him for the pep talk, and that I’ll see him and the rest of his band in a zoom meeting next Monday morning.
I’m still not sure if saying yes to his job offer was the right choice. I’m already stretched thin enough between my main client and now Omens, adding Chase might be more than I can handle. While my main client’s fanbase is much more… intensive, Chase Atlantic is still larger than both of them. And that swirls a terrifying pit of anxiety in my stomach because I’m not quite sure I’m equipped with enough experience to handle it all.
Tumblr media
Gravel cracks beneath my tires as I pull up to the warehouse. I gather my bed head hair into the closest thing to a bun I can get it and try to rub off the slept in mascara smudged under my eyes.
My engine isn’t fully off for half a second before I’m out and locking my door.
I smooth out the exact same outfit I wore to Christian’s yesterday since I didn’t have time to stop home. Usually, I would never show up to a work event in sweatpants, a cropped cami, sneakers, and a flannel, but here we are. It’s not like the band is particularly formal anyway.
I see Folio and Jolly first, who both give me strange looks, like they’re surprised I’m here. Then, Noah and Nicholas once I get to the entrance. They seem equally as shocked too.
“What are you doing here?” Noah asks, lined with his usual snarky tone, seeming almost offended by my presence.
“I invited her.” Bryan speaks up from the background, adjusting the camera around his neck. “And you’re about an hour late by the way.”
Regardless of his criticism, he gives me a smile and a side hug – which surprises me.
Aside from Nicholas – for…obvious reasons – Bryan is the one who meets me with the most warmth out of the five of them.
I offer a closed lipped smile and a small awkward wave to the band. I wasn’t prepared to accidentally crash a music video shoot.
“Nice outfit, you just get out of bed?” Noah quips.
I roll my sleep-deprived eyes, “Nice to see you too, Noah.”
The rest of the band disperses into whatever they were doing before I arrived.
Nick walks up to me and I can tell he’s trying his best to act casual.
“Hey.” He says simply but quietly between us.
“Hey.” I match his somewhat awkward tone.
My gaze reluctantly meets his and I immediately regret it. His hair is pulled up into a fluffy ponytail with his hair flat against his head and he looks so good.
This was going to be more difficult than I thought.
“Val?” He asks trying to get my attention.
“Huh?” I shake my head from the fuzz sitting in my brain.
“Oh, I just said it’s nice to see you.” He says demurely. “I’m glad you’re here.”
I take note of the dullness of his normally bright eyes, and the dark bags beneath them. It makes me wonder if he got as little sleep as I did.
The energy of this whole ordeal is so… odd. It makes me feel as though I’m once again missing parts of a puzzle that I’m not aware of.
His gives me a once over and lingers a bit on my flannel.
“Oh! Right!” I set my bag down on a nearby table before slipping the flannel off my arms, giving it a lazy fold, and offering it over to him. “Here have it back.”
He instinctively takes the folded garment, looking at it like I just handed him the wrong Chipotle order. His brows furrow, initially in confusion then into something much different.
Before he responds it hits me.
I fucked up.
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
“This isn’t mine.” He states in a slighted tone.
“Oh- Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t get much sleep last night–“ I immediately realize that probably wasn’t the best thing to follow that up with. “I just need a coffee.”
“Right.” He lands the flannel back in my hands. He goes to pass me and stops as he’s grazing my shoulder. “And who’s ever it is, has shitty taste in cologne.”
My eyes widen.
Did I just put Kras’ proposed scheme into action by accident?
It’s fine.
It’s perfectly fine.
I’m fine.
I discreetly shake out the tips of my fingers and glance up to finally take in my surroundings fully. The floor is covered in a massive tarp, covered in… dirt?
I steal the phone from my tote pocket and carefully walk over to where Bryan is messing with some equipment. I shuffle right up next to him and whisper, “What…exactly is happening here?”
“I don’t know. Noah just woke us all up at the ass crack of dawn and said we needed to do this today.” Bryan shrugs, not stopping his actions for me, and continues walking carrying a large umbrella light.
“…and you all just went along with it?”
“Listen. I just work here man.” He sets down the heavy light and sighs dramatically.
I can’t help but chuckle at his verbiage.
“Okay… and why did you have to drag me into this?”
“Well, you have a job to do, don’t you?” He questions as if he doesn’t know the answer.
“I mean y-“ I begin but he cuts me off.
“Exactly.” He walks back over to a pile of equipment on a plastic table, and I follow him around like a puppy while he talks. “And you want them to like you, yes?”
“Well, I mean,” My eyes glance over at Nicholas who’s sat on a stool tuning a teal bass. The memories of our bodies entwined graze over my tongue and his working fingers sends a tingle between my legs.
Well, one of them likes me.
Is my first reflex to say.
But I’m not even sure if that’s true, especially not now. I should know better than to trust band boys anyway. I manage them, I’ve been around them since the start of my career. I’ve been best friends with Kras for nearly a decade. I’ve seen what band men do. How they treat the women they use to get off, even the ones they love.
“Look. They need you.” He says, his tone more serious than before and leans against the wall beside him with crossed arms. “Whether they believe it or not, they need you. You and I both know that. If Noah wants to be an arrogant, stubborn asshole, then let him. But don’t give up on them. They just need time.” His eyes drift to the four of them messing around with their instruments. “You’re stuck with them one way or another. And they’re not a bad bunch to be stuck with. Trust me.” He gives me a half smile before nudging my arm. “Loosen up a little, you might find that you like ‘em.”
Bryan pushes himself off the wall going to find some other task and I’m left with this peptalk I wasn’t expecting, especially from him.
I take the time to watch them, really watch them. Noah is well … Noah, so there’s some grumpy tension that follows him – but the rest of them, even while grumpy and irritated, flow together effortlessly.
Noah ripped everyone from their sleep and yet, they’re still all here. Sure, you could write that off as good work ethic, but I think it’s more than that. As unpredictable as he is, they let Noah lead them. At least for the most part.
They all showed up for him today and the whole time I’ve known them.
‘This band is all he has.’ Nicholas’ words echo in my ears from that rainy night in his car.
Maybe they all know that, and maybe they all honor it.
They all love him enough to show up and keep showing up.
Christian is right. I can’t let my feelings cloud this. If not for me, then for them.
As I clear from my dissociation, I realize I must’ve hyper fixated on their bustling about because the only thing I see now is their attire… or the lack thereof.
“Wait, wait, wait.” I cautiously step around the piles of dirt on a brown tarp to reach Noah. “Is this the whole outfit? This is what you’re wearing for the video?”
Noah sighs in exasperation and drops the corner of tarp he’s holding to face me. “Yes? Do you have a problem with it?”
“Problem with it? It is the problem.” I give him a once over, just black jeans and plain grey shirt with a faded CocaCola logo on it. I reach to his sides and give the seems a small tug to pull the logo taught against his thin chest. “You see that? What does that look like to you?”
Noah raises a snarky brow at me, “A Coke logo?”
“Wrong. That-” I drop the edges of his shirt and stab his sternum with my finger. “That is unpaid brand advertising.”
I can tell he immediately wants to roll his eyes but doesn’t when he realizes I’m right.
The rest of the boys wear similar outfits, jeans, t-shirts, hoodies.
“Okay, well this is all we brought last minute, and the house is like an hour away, I’m not driving back there.”
There’s no way I’m letting them shoot an entire video in dirt with such casual outfits. I tug at my lip and tap my fingertips on my arm in thought.
As if a lightbulb appears above my head, a possible solution crosses my mind.
“I think I saw a thrift shop in that strip where the bar is.” I shrug, “I can try to find something there. But I can’t just let you play around in dirt like this.”
Noah raises his brows and crosses his tattooed arms across his chest, “Well I’m sure as fuck not letting you pick out outfits for us.”
I walk over to my bag, picking up easily and walking towards the warehouse opening. “Then you better hurry up and get in my car.”
Tumblr media
Noah and I had been looking through racks of dusty clothes for about 10 minutes without speaking to each other. I knew a thrift shop was somewhat of a risky choice, but after not seeing anything worth shit for a bit had me nervous.
I’m not sure why I’m nervous – but I shouldn’t be making risky bold decisions with them.
Across the racks I catch Noah picking up a thick peacoat. At first glance, I find it absolutely repulsive, but for a music video? It could be exactly what we need. At least it’d be better than a Coca-Cola shirt. For the vibe I think he’s going for, it might be perfect.
He lifts up the hanger and flips it around, his brows knitting intently at it. He likes it.
I haven’t known him that long, but he’s pretty transparent, no matter how mysterious he thinks he is.
I quickly divert my eyes back down when he goes to return the coat to its place on the rack. I know that if I say I like it, he’ll immediately be against it, so I keep my mouth shut.
“So, what kinda vibe are you going for?” I ask casually.
He glares over at me, “What do you care? Changing our clothes was your idea remember?”
“Whoa.” I put my hands up in defense. “I’m just trying to help.”
“Well, I’m sure you wanna put us in the same preppy clothes you put your other big mysterious client in. Which I’m still convinced is Harry Styles by the way.”
I roll my eyes knowing which “client” he’s referring to since I haven’t mentioned that I took on a third one yet. He means the first one, the one that landed me here in the first place, my ‘big success’. At least that’s what they kept telling me when sitting in meeting after meeting getting pitched different ‘next big artists’. And somehow, I got stuck with Noah & friends™️.  
“No, it’s not Harry and I don’t put them in preppy clothes.” I reply absentmindedly sifting through hangers.
“Them?” He picks up on my slip immediately and my eyes widen slightly. “It’s a band?”
I clear my throat and shake my head. “No – no that’s not what I–“
“It is, isn’t it?” His brows lower at me. “It better not be a conflict of interest, that would be a breach of contract and I-“
“Relax. I’m not stupid, I wouldn’t have signed contract if it was a conflict of interest.” I glare over at him with annoyed, tired eyes.
I sigh then allow my tense shoulders to roll back. “Yes. It’s a band. But they aren’t a heavy band they’re ehm…. more classic rock, hippie-ish?” I shake my head. “And trust me, I would NOT put you or the rest of you in any of their clothes.”
I press my lips together trying to stifle a giggle that threatens to escape at the thought of Noah in a glitzy jumpsuit.
“What’s so funny?” He furrows his brows at me in offense. “You don’t think I could pull off some hippie clothes?” He asks seriously, but I can tell he doesn’t believe it either, he’s just trying to be difficult.
Then it occurs to me that this reverse-psychology defiant behavior may work to my advantage.
“No, actually. I don’t think you could.” I shrug, sliding some clothes over. “Just like I don’t think you could pull off that hideous peacoat.”
His brows rise higher than I’ve ever seen them. “Oh really? Maybe that’ll be the one I choose then.”
Checkmate.
I ignore it to not put too much emphasis on it. “You never told me what’s the vibe you want.”
“Hm.” He pauses, maybe he doesn’t even know. “I’m not sure. Cult-y? Business-y? Underground elite secret society-y?”
“Wow.” I say with wide, surprised eyes and exaggerating my mouth around the word. “That’s… specific. And you planned to achieve that with graphic tees?”
“Shut up.”
“Right.”
“Would I know your other band?” He inquires, the curiosity obviously eating at him.
“Shut up.”
“Right.”
Tumblr media
We continue to mind our own business in our individual searches while early 2000’s pop plays through the small, dingy shop.
Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Noah lifting up an obviously homemade PitBull t-shirt.
I can’t help but let out a loud laugh.
He snaps his head over at me with a goofy grin, “What you don’t think Mr. Worldwide is peak fashion?”
I shake my head laughing, “No, I definitely wouldn’t say he is.”
“I think this might be the most badass piece of clothing I’ve ever seen.” He seems half serious and half trying to hold back a cackle.
“It’s a… choice. But you know what? It might be perfect for you.”
He feigns offense, “Why because you think I’m so badass?”
A laugh erupts from me. “Yeah. Sure.”
“Well, I’m getting it. I might wear it in the video.” He throws the white shirt into his cart.
“Great.” I reply sarcastically.
Tumblr media
The search seemed to be going a bit better the further we dig. I found a couple pieces that might work for the rest of the band to fit into Noah’s vaguely hyper-specific theme. He’s done the same, just not as successfully.
Across the aisle I notice his hands grasping the sides of a hideous white puffy jacket with patches of sherpa all over it and an oversized hood. The nylon material rasps as he rubs it between his inked fingertips. My brows curve at how he looks at it like it’s some lost treasure.
He pauses before turning to me, lifting it up to showcase its entirety.
“What do you think about this?” He asks genuinely, which throws me off. It sounds so authentic, so real, and not hidden behind any sort of sassy, crude walls, or ulterior motives. I don’t know if he’s ever truly talked to me like that before, especially not sober.
I’m still cautious since he’s fooled me before, so I stay neutral by lifting my shoulders to a shrug. “I don’t know. Why don’t you try it on?”
He eagerly scoots past his cart that takes up the entire aisle and walks to the mirror. The thick zipper hisses at how quickly he undoes it, like he’s been waiting his whole life for this moment.
I watch him in some form of awe, maybe it’s more curiosity of his behavior. The more I get to know him, the stranger he seems.
He slips his skinny arms through the sleeves, and it fits him loosely but just right, like it’s made for him – though that doesn’t detract from how it still looks a little ridiculous, just less so now that it’s on him.
He turns back to me and spreads out his arms like a child showing off a Halloween costume.
“Well?” He questions.
“I mean the jacket is still pretty silly.” I chuckle. “But it looks nice on you.” I compliment honestly.
A toothy grin spreads across his mouth and turns back to the mirror, “Yeah, I think so too.”
Tumblr media
Quiet falls between us again and we move on to different sections. I get so focused on rifling through the clothes that I realize I’ve lost track of Noah. I scan the small store and can’t spot him.
“Noah?” I call and as if right on cue, I feel something dropped around my head followed by a scurrying Noah.
“What the hell?” I reach up and catch the edges of the large hat pulling it off and finding that he’s dropped a massive sombrero on my head. “Hey!”
He chuckles and pulls his shoulders to a shrug, “Might be perfect for you.” He mocks my words from before about the Pitbull shirt.
“Ha-ha very funny.” I roll my eyes playfully. “I’ll get you back.”
“Bring it on.”
What follows is a series of us trying to find the most ridiculous shit to throw on or at each other.
First, I got an ugly, dusty, grandma shawl that I threw on Noah’s shoulders as best as I could before quickly walking in the other direction.
Then, when I wasn’t paying attention and with great stealth, he was able to drop a yellowing Disney rain poncho over my body.
Now, he’s stood in front of a full-length mirror holding up various different pieces of black clothing. In my stroll through the hat section, I found a leopard print fedora perfect for his big head. I sneak up behind him, making sure not to get in frame of the mirror. I reach up on my tip toes to somewhat reach his head, tossing the hat up to bridge the rest, hoping that it would land.
It does land, crooked atop his head.
I cover my mouth to hide a chuckle before backing away slowly. Before I can make my escape, he snaps his head over in my direction, jostling the hat to fly off his head. In a swift move, he catches it with fumbling hands.
“Hey that’s not fair! You’re tiny and fast!” He plops the leopard fedora back on his head and anchors a fist at each hip playfully.
The goofy sight of it all makes me double over nearly cackling. “It’s not my fault you’re big and clunky!”
He pulls the flimsy hat off his head, squishing it thin between his fingers pointing at me. “You better watch your back, Thornhill.”
“Ooh, you’re so scary, Sebastian.” I tease with raised hands feigning fear.
“You think you’re so funny huh?” He speaks directly at me probably trying to distract me, but I catch him snatching another random hat off the rack while he slowly makes his way towards me.
My eyes glance at down at his actions and I make a run for it. I don’t know what I expected but, he chases me around the thrift shop like we’re little kids in a toy store. I stealthily weave through metal racks full of musty clothes trying to lose him, giggles pouring from both our mouths.
I ignore the judging looks from the employees and the few patrons shopping around us. It’s a blessing that I can’t hear the murmuring around us. My ears are full of only my own heartbeat and the sound of his playful and competitive laughter.
It’s then that I realize I hadn’t fully heard him laugh before, not sober anyway, and it’s so… endearing. It’s one of those laughs that’s contagious and only makes you laugh harder. Which isn’t something I expected from him. None of this is really what I expected.
He finally corners me in the scarf section. I spin around in the tiny space between us and within that split second he’s snatched a bizarrely colored thin scarf and throws it around my neck like a towel, keeping hold of each end.
Just as fast, I grasp a similar scarf and match his actions, throwing the scarf up around his neck. With the speed and rush of the motion, I accidentally tugged him closer and lower to me.
My eyes flutter up and the edges of his laughing grin shorten when his eyes meet mine. Unexpectedly, my breath hitches in my throat. I never noticed just how chocolate-y brown his eyes were until now. Normally his eyes are so serious or angry or… drunk, but right now, they’re wide and warm and just as confused as mine. His eyes shift side to side seemingly searching mine for something I’m not quite sure of.
Being this close to him really emphasizes just how tall he is, the top of my head barely meets his shoulders and for some reason, that realization makes my heart thump harder against my ribcage.  
I’m frozen where I stand, I should pull away, but I can’t. I shouldn’t enjoy the butterflies that run rampant in my tummy. It’s just Noah after all. The asshole that somehow always ends up drunk on the floor. The one that tells me how to do my job and how not to manage him. The one that told Nick that I’m a ‘stuck-up corporate bitch’.
But, that’s the same Noah that’s chasing me around this store like we’re playing tag on a playground.
My tummy twists and my breath sharply lodges itself in my throat when I catch his eyes dart to my lips – once.
Twice.
He moves closer, just marginally, and then again – eyes, lips.
I mimic his actions, my eyes flicker from his brown eyes to light pink lips.
Then he’s even closer – so close I can feel his exhaled breath brush past my nose.
Again.
Eyes, lips.
I feel his knuckles just graze my shirt where he’s still holding the scarf at either end and it sends electricity down to my fingertips.
Then, a strand of his long brown hair falls from behind his ear, and it seems to snap him from our daze. He lets out an awkward chuckle, steps back and slides the scarf off my neck by one end.
“We should probably wrap up here… I’m sure the guys are sick of waiting for us.” He scratches the back of his neck and diverts his eyes from me.
It seems like the right thing to do, but for some reason it leaves me a little disappointed.
Disappointed in what exactly?
What the fuck just happened?
I pull the scarf off of him in the same manner and hang it back up on its hook. “Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.”
Tumblr media
Checking out is hushed and awkward as we stand next to each other in front of the workers that had to watch us nearly destroy the store.
We walk out silently until I notice that he’s walking out with the leopard print fedora proudly plopped on his head.
“You really bought that stupid hat?” I chuckle calling after him carrying 2 heavy, giant bags full of clothes.
“Yeah duh-“ He begins looking back but trips over his feet across the exit door frame.
I bring a plastic bag-occupied hand up to cover my mouth to hide a giggle.
“Shut up.” He directs me with a pointed hand even though I hadn’t said anything.
“Has anyone ever told you that you’re kinda goofy?” I laugh, shaking my head and clicking my key fob to unlock the car.
“Goofy?” He gasps as if he’s offended. “Valerie this is peak fashion.”
I chuckle and roll my eyes, “Get in the fucking car, will you?”
He laughs and matches my actions of throwing the heavy bags in the backseat. He slides in the passenger of my blue Mercedes rental and the clunky weight of his lanky body shakes the small car. He stuffs his legs into the tiny, allotted space for them. I would make a comment about how large he is, but I’m not in the business of boosting men’s egos.
I press the push-to-start and begin navigating my way out of the parking lot. It takes a bit for my phone to connect and begin playing music, but when it does it fills the car with a familiar tune.
Noah reaches over and spins the dial to turn up the music. It doesn’t fully register in my mind what song it is until Noah speaks up.
“Is this the hippie rock band you’re representing?” He asks, a bit of sharpness to his voice.
“I-I well, no, I just-“ I’m caught off guard and stutter. I’m new to handling more than one client and having them not know about each other seemed like the best course of action. But I particularly didn’t want Noah to know since I knew he’d compare what I do with others with what I do with them.
“It is, isn’t it?” He snaps. “You manage Greta Van Fleet?”
“I… well,” I pause then sigh out of pure exhaustion. “Yes. I manage them.” I say flatly, somewhat annoyed. “I don’t really think that’s any of your business though.”
He’s silent for a moment, seemingly just taking in the song – Lover, Leaver.
“You’re right. They’re nothing like us.” He announces simply. “The voice on that singer is insane though.”
I can’t stop my brows from furrowing, and from one abruptly propping up.
He’s not upset.
He’s not upset?
“Yeah… I know.” I reply cautiously, glancing over at him to decipher the unbothered look on his face.
“Well, don’t look so surprised, they’re good. I can appreciate good music, can’t I?” He lets a few moments pass. “I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t this. They sound so familiar…” He trails off in thought.
“I know, you were expecting Harry Styles.” I joke. “But it’s not, so you can chill.” I tap my fingertips across the leather steering wheel.
“I knew it wasn’t Harry.” He shifts in his seat, crossing his arms across his skinny waist with his hands draping over his sides. He rests his head on the door looking out the window. “If it was, you wouldn’t have taken us.”
“I bet you wish it was Harry Styles then huh?” I say as a somewhat half joke and glance over at him while mindlessly tapping my fingertips on the steering wheel. He stays silent, just watching the trees go by. I can’t tell if the silence is intentional or if he’s just zoned out.
Some time passes before he returns to the conversation.
“Well, I don’t care if you represent them. Just know that I’m not dressing up like some wizard man like your other singer.” He warns firmly with a playful pointed finger.
“I wouldn’t dream of it, Sebastian.”

ren please my love will u write me "wiping their tears when they cry" for buddie mwah
Also for @abcdefuk-off who requested the same prompt. This got so much longer than planned lol but enjoy the Buck angst <3
[Read on AO3]
Those first few days after waking up, and after leaving the hospital, everything hurts. Buck gets used to a baseline of pain: headaches, muscle aches, healing burns on his hands, fractured ribs, bruised lungs, something vague and unrelenting that coils tight in his stomach. It all ebbs and flows, a tide teetering between low and high, easy enough to ignore sometimes, but never fully gone.
It gets better, as days blur into weeks. One and then two and then three, and after four he’s sitting in Dr Salazar’s office and she’s saying, “You can go back to work as early as next week.”
Buck doesn’t know how to explain the flash of panic that seizes him. The way he wishes she could just tell him that something is wrong, that there is some physical explanation for the way he feels. But all his other doctors say the same thing: there’s nothing wrong with him. His lungs have healed enough for him to go back to work. His hands aren’t even going to scar. There are no blood clots in his leg, no reason it should be hurting at all, except for how it will probably always hurt sometimes.
“But it’s worse,” Buck tries. “It hurts more, and more often, doesn’t that—shouldn’t it mean something is wrong?”
“You’ve been through a trauma,” is all the doctor will say, shrugging behind ultrasound and CT results that all say the same thing: he’s fine.
So why doesn’t Buck feel fine?
Why can’t he just feel fine?
****
He gets through the first shift fine. He’s exhausted at the end of it, a headache knocking behind his temples, but it’s fine. He’s fine. He lets Eddie talk him into going home with him, manages to smile through breakfast with Christopher before crashing hard on the couch, and when he wakes up a few hours later, he’s fine.
The second shift, he doesn’t go home with Eddie. Doesn’t leave the station with a headache, either, which is nice, but he’s left with something restless and itching beneath his skin that makes him want to run until he has forgotten how to breathe.
He goes home instead. Deep cleans his apartment. Heats up frozen lasagne for lunch and eats sitting on the balcony, squinting at the grey edge of the sky and wondering if it’s going to rain.
Come over for dinner? 🥺 Chimney texts around four p.m., and Buck spends several minutes frowning at the message before he sends back a question mark. Chimney sends back a block of the same emoji in response and refuses to elaborate.
Fine, Buck replies. But just for the record I’m sick of eating pot roast.
He’s half expecting it anyway; Maddie isn’t a bad cook, but her repertoire is a bit limited, and Chimney’s even more so. When he arrives at six-thirty on the dot, he’s pleasantly surprised, and then a little suspicious, to find them setting out containers of Thai from one of Buck’s favourite takeout places.
“This isn’t another intervention, is it?” he asks, and he tries to make it sound like a joke, but he’s pretty sure he doesn’t succeed.
“Should it be?” Maddie asks, eyebrows raised.
“No,” Buck answers, matching her raised eyebrows with his own narrowed eyes. “I thought we agreed you couldn’t fix me.”
Chimney fumbles a grease-stained paper bag and two spring rolls make a bid for freedom, rolling across the counter. He snatches them quickly, muttering hot hot hot under his breath as he drops them onto a plate. He doesn’t say, “ah, so there is something that needs fixing,” but he may as well have. Buck steals a spring roll and bites down on it hard, chewing and swallowing even as his eyes water at the burn of too-hot pastry and filling.
Maddie rolls her eyes. “Sometimes dinner is just dinner, Evan. Why don’t you help Chimney set the table? I’m going to get Jee washed up to eat.”
Just dinner would be sitting in his apartment alone with whatever leftovers he dug out of the freezer, but Buck doesn’t argue. He takes the handful of cutlery Chimney offers him and sets it out on the table, Maddie and Chimney side-by-side, Buck opposite them both, plastic cutlery arranged carefully on Jee’s high chair at the head of the table. It’s hard to feel anything but warm inside when handling toddler cutlery, which was probably Maddie’s goal all along.  
It spreads through him while they eat: warmth soaking into aching muscles, loosening the tension in his spine, helping him breathe a little bit easier. They don’t ask him if he’s okay and at some point he stops expecting them to. It’s like the moment after a jump scare in a movie, when all the tension that has been building snaps, the door pushed open to reveal a cat or a squawking bird where you expected to find a killer, adrenaline draining away to leave you loose and giggly. Buck stretches out his legs under the table and he can almost trick himself into believing that the twinge of pain is just in his head.  
After dinner is over—plates and cutlery packed into the dishwasher, leftover Thai in the fridge—he helps Maddie give Jee a bath and put her to bed. It’s good. Normal. From the moment the tap turns on until Jee’s bedroom light is turned off, he feels like he can breathe. Like he might be okay.
Which. That was probably Maddie’s goal all along.  
“You can stay,” Chimney offers when they’re back out in the kitchen. “The guest room has a proper bed and everything now.”
Buck smiles, appreciating the offer. “Nah, I should get home. Thanks though. For dinner and…”
A gesture, vague and all-encompassing. Chimney shrugs it away.
“Anytime,” he says, and Buck knows he means it. He could show up here at three in the morning and he wouldn’t be turned away. “See you at work tomorrow?”
“Yeah,” Buck agrees. “See you at work.”
Maddie follows him to the door and hugs him tightly before he steps outside.  
“Drive safe,” she says against his shoulder, words cast like a spell. “Text me when you get home.”
It’s the kind of thing she has said to Buck all his life. He used to roll his eyes good naturedly, grumble through a yeah, okay , and he’d still speed through yellow lights but he’d always feel a little more guilty about it with Maddie’s words in the back of his mind.  
Tonight he just squeezes her again and promises, “I will.”
He slows down for every yellow light on the way home.
****
It’s not so bad at first: a dull ache, deep enough in his leg that he can almost ignore it. He’s getting pretty good at that, with the way it feels like the pain is always there these days, lurking, waiting to pounce. Buck avoids looking at it head-on for as long as he can, like it’s a monster in the dark that he can keep away by pulling a blanket over his head.
So it doesn’t sneak up on him, really, but it still takes his breath away when the pain corkscrews through his leg, suddenly sharp and biting. Buck stumbles, catching himself on the engine, choking back a curse that becomes a strangled wheeze. His first thought— fuck, ow ow ow —is followed quickly by a second: thank god everyone else is already in the engine .
“Buck?” Bobby calls, head sticking out through the front window. “You coming?”
Buck gives him a thumbs up, words trapped behind tightly clenched teeth. Climbing into the engine is hell, his leg pulsing with every step up, and he curls his hands into fists to hide the way they’re shaking after this seatbelt has been clipped into place. It was a long call, the kind that leaves everyone tired and not in the mood to talk, and Buck is absurdly grateful for it because it means nobody is paying too much attention to him. Nobody sees the wince he can’t hide when the truck jolts over a pothole, or the way he has to brace himself before jumping out when they’re back at the station.
There’s a bottle of Tylenol that lives in his work bag and he goes straight for it after he gets his turnout gear off. Everyone else has already drifted towards the bunks, but Buck tries not to limp as he walks up the stairs anyway. It feels too much like giving in. Like letting his leg and that bomber kid and the whole fucking universe win.
He tries to pace, tries to shake the cramp out by moving, but every step is like a knife through his ankle, his knee, shooting up through his hip to grip his chest in a vice as well. Buck makes it three limping circuits around the loft before he gives up and collapses on the couch. He folds over, head against his right knee, left leg stretched out while he digs his fingers into the long-healed muscles and wishes the pain would go away.
A stress headache is setting in now too, the kind that feels like his head is in a vice, the pain squeezing and squeezing and squeezing. Buck takes a shaky breath, then another, then another, trying to figure out whether he feels sick, or if it’s just the same coiling tension in his stomach that he’s been dealing with for weeks.
“Hey.”  
He flinches, startled, and Eddie moves closer with a frown.
“Buck? You okay?” he asks, sounding like he’s already halfway convinced that he answer is no . Which it is, but.
Buck swallows. “Yeah, just—my leg. ‘M okay.”
Eddie hums, an I’ll be the judge of that kind of sound, and he perches on the edge of the coffee table, so close that their legs have no choice but to touch. “Can I…?”
There’s a half-hysterical thought in the back of Buck’s head that his leg will fall apart if he lets it go. The pain will tear through flesh and bones and leave nothing but broken, jagged pieces behind. Blood and sinew and useless muscle hanging off splintered pieces of bone. The thought of it makes him sick and he has to swallow hard against the nausea before he can make his fingers loosen their hold. It gets him a smile, quick and gentle, like Eddie knows the mental battle it took.  
“Okay,” he says, easy and soft. “Do you want to lie down?”
Buck shakes his head. Even if he’s lying on his back, even if it’s the couch in the station instead of the rough asphalt of the street, his edges are too frayed right now for it to feel like anything other than being back there under the truck. He stretches his leg out in front of him instead, hands curled into tight fists while Eddie does his exam, quick but thorough.
“I don’t see anything concerning,” he judges, and Buck shouldn’t mourn the touch of his hands but he does. “No redness or swelling… is it just the pain?”
“Yeah,” Buck manages, too shaky. He doesn’t need to explain because Eddie knows more than most what it’s like when an injury heals but doesn’t ever fully let you go.  
“Alright.” Hand on his knee for a second, two seconds, warmth lingering even after it’s gone. “Heat or ice?”
Buck shakes his head because—he doesn’t know. He doesn’t know if anything will help.
“Okay,” Eddie takes his non-answer in stride, “we’ll try heat first, then switch if it isn’t working.”
It doesn’t take long to grab a couple of heating pads from the first aid cupboard, nor to pull the coffee table a bit closer so Buck can put his feet up on it without having to stretch. Hen would smack him if she saw him doing it, but he’s pretty sure Eddie would defend him. His only other option is stretching out on the couch and—no. Not tonight.  
“Here, drink this,” holding out a glass until Buck takes it.  “It’ll help.”
It’s only half full, which is good because Buck’s hands shake when he holds it. He still feels vaguely sick, but he chokes down a few sips anyway, clinging to the way Eddie smiles at him when he does.
“Better?” he checks, adjusting one of the heating pads that had started to slip off Buck’s knee.  
Buck wants to say yes. He wants to say yeah, all good now, thanks for your help but you don’t need to stay . He wants to rewind time and never get in the front seat of the truck. He wants to rewind time and wait just a few minutes before climbing up that ladder so the lightning doesn’t hit him. He wants and wants and wants. He’s spent his whole life wanting—his parents to love him, somewhere to belong, to be useful and good and happy —and even now that he has so much, he still fucking wants.  
Buck bites his lip through the sting of frustrated tears, determined not to cry.
“It’s been, um, worse. Lately. Since the lightning strike.”
Eddie frowns. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
Buck shrugs, as if he doesn’t know the answer. As if the words aren’t right there on the tip of his tongue: I didn’t want anyone to worry .
“No,” Eddie says, gentle and a little bit—sad, almost, but trying not to be. It’s like he can read the words spinning through Buck’s mind. “Why didn’t you say anything to me?”
Because Eddie isn’t anyone . He hasn’t been for a long time. Buck rubs a hand over his face, then picks at a loose thread on his knee, avoiding Eddie’s eyes.
“Are you going to tell Bobby?” he asks.
“You don’t want me to,” Eddie says, not a question. Buck shakes his head anyway. “Because you don’t want him to worry? Or because you don’t want to be benched for the rest of shift?”
The simple answer is both . That’s the answer Buck is supposed to give. It’s what Eddie is expecting to hear. But the truth is that Buck died, and nobody will let him forget it, and he still doesn’t know how he really feels about it.
That coil in his stomach tightens, dread clogging his veins. A traitorous, frustrated tear slips out and Buck squeezes his eyes shut. He makes a belated movement to wipe it away, but Eddie’s hand is already there, the curl of his fingers warm under Buck’s chin and his thumb warmer still as it swipes gently across his cheek. It’s that, Buck thinks, more than the pain and the frustration, that makes the next two tears slip out.
“I won’t tell Bobby,” Eddie promises him, the absence of his touch burning like frostbite when he pulls his hands away. “But I’m going on record saying that I think you should.”
“I can still do my job,” Buck mutters, sinking into his corner of the couch. It’s the easiest excuse to hide behind. It’s even mostly true: he can do his job, even if adrenaline and determination are the only things that get him through.
Eddie rolls his eyes. “You know that’s not what I meant.”
Buck wilts. He does know. And he doesn’t want to argue with Eddie. It’s always so much easier to be angry, to burn hot and fast and deal with the fallout later, but whenever he reaches for the flames these days, whenever he thinks it’s not fucking fair , all he feels is tired. Bone deep, achingly tired.
You’ve been through a trauma , people keep telling him, but Buck has been through traumas before and they’ve never left him feeling quite like this.
“Fine,” he sighs. “I’ll tell Bobby if it becomes a problem.”  
If it comes down to other people’s lives, he would have done it anyway. He’s not stupid; he’s not going to risk anyone else.
Eddie nods, satisfied. He takes the glass of water from Buck’s hands and sets it on the coffee table, out of the way, then settles into the couch at his side. There’s enough space that they don’t need to be touching, but they end up pressed together from thigh to shoulder anyway.  
“Do you think you can sleep?” Eddie asks.
Buck shrugs, but he’s pretty sure the answer is no. He’s pretty sure that Eddie knows it too.
“Alright,” he says, reaching for the remote. “But it’s my turn to pick what we watch.”
It’s not, but Buck doesn’t fight him on it. He doesn’t care what they watch, doesn’t think he could focus on it right now anyway. He closes his eyes, letting the sound of some late-night soap rerun fade into background noise, and waits for the pain to fade with it.
****
Buck doesn’t sleep, but he drifts, sinking down to something close enough to sleep that it can almost be called rest. His leg doesn’t hurt as much anymore, the weight of the heating pads over his knee and ankle as much of a relief as the heat itself. He’s not sure what time it is when footsteps on the stairs make him tense, threatening to undo all the hard work that Eddie and the heating pad have done to relax his muscles. The only thing that keeps him still is the hand Eddie puts on his thigh, warm and grounding. He squeezes gently— relax, you’re okay, I’ve got you —then stands up, meeting Bobby in the kitchen with an easy, “Hey, Cap, you want some coffee?”
Buck relaxes, listening to the familiar sound of people moving around the station kitchen: mugs clinking, the coffee machine gurgling, the slightest squeak of boots on the floor as Bobby and Eddie move around each other. It’s so familiar and soothing that he’s almost back in that state of not-quite-resting, drifting through the currents at the edge of the room, when he hears Bobby ask, “He okay?”
It’s right there in his voice: worry worry worry . Buck bites the inside of his cheek hard enough that he tastes blood, sudden and metallic. It stops his heart in his chest for a beat, two beats, and he has to breathe carefully through the swell of memory and nausea until the taste of blood and bile have both been swallowed down.
“Yeah,” Eddie is answering behind him, and that helps too, “just a leg cramp, he’s okay.”  
Buck doesn’t get to find out what Bobby’s response to that is—the alarm rings and he’s on his feet before it’s a conscious thought. Before he stops, one hand on the bannister going down the stairs, and wonders whether he should actually stay behind. Whether Bobby will make him stay behind.
He hesitates too long. Long enough that everyone else is already climbing into the truck and Bobby is looking back at him from the app bay, eyebrows raised.
“You coming, kid?”
Buck shakes himself and follows. He can still do his job.
****
The fire burns hot and fast, two townhouses already alight when they join the 122 on scene, a third just starting to go up as well.
“Shit,” Chimney mutters, and Buck feels it in his bones: people are going to die tonight. People are probably already dead, just waiting for someone to pull their bodies out.
“Buck—” Eddie starts, low and close, fingers twisted in his sleeve, and Buck doesn’t know what he’s going to say but—
“Not now,” he says, shaking Eddie off.
Eddie lets him go.
Buck tells himself that he’s grateful for it, even as his leg throbs in protest. He’s fine, he reminds himself. He’s fine, he can still do his job.
And he does. He lets the smoke and the flames numb him, sinking into the routine: check room after room after room, pull out body after body after body. Don’t think about it. Don’t think about it. Don’t think.
He’s limping by the time they clear the buildings. The pain isn’t as bad as it was before, but it’s deep and persistent, the kind of always there pain he got used to feeling in the weeks after the ladder truck crushed him. Buck sees a life stretching out before him where it never goes away: he’ll wake up hurting every morning, go to sleep hurting every night, probably have to quit his job because he’s always, always hurting.
He feels sick. Thinks he might actually be sick, stuck on a roller coaster he doesn’t know how to get off, and he leans shakily against the engine, pressing his forehead against the cool metal while he tries to breathe the feeling away.
Bobby finds him there.
Of course Bobby finds him there.
“Here,” he says, and his hand is a steady pressure between Buck’s shoulder blades until he turns his head, blinking past the red of the engine to find a water bottle being held out. Bobby shakes it a little when Buck doesn’t immediately reach to take it. “Come on, Buck, you know the drill.”
Buck wonders which drill that is. The stay hydrated when fighting fires one, or the don’t disobey orders one, or maybe the let people take care of you one. It doesn’t really matter, he supposes, the answer is all the same. He grabs the water bottle from Bobby’s hand. Fumbles it open and takes a few sips.  
“Sit,” Bobby suggests, hand still on Buck’s back, gently guiding him the few limping steps until he can sit on the front of the engine. The scene is still bustling around them, firefighters moving like moths around the flames, but Bobby seems content just to stand beside Buck, watching silently.
Buck lasts five minutes before he breaks.
“Aren’t you going to say anything?” he asks, exhausted down his marrow.
“About your leg?” Bobby doesn’t pretend not to know what he’s talking about and Buck is grateful for it. “I figured you’d come to me if something needed saying.”
Buck swallows.  
Swallows again.
He’s pretty sure they’ve reached the point where something needs saying, but he has no idea where to start. I’m sorry , maybe. I swear the doctor cleared me , probably. The words all feel frothy on his tongue, taking up more room than they should, and he opens his mouth without really knowing which ones he’s going to say and—  
“I’m scared.”  
It’s a whisper. A confession meant for the dark safety of night, spilled out here in the burning daylight of a new day like oil on the road. The sun glints off it like a beacon: here! look, beware, there is danger here! Buck wants to scoop the words back up, shove them deep inside his chest, lock them up where he’s the only one who might choke on them. He wants to find a smile, or a joke, anything that he can tape over the moment to wipe the look of quiet concern off Bobby’s face. He wants to pretend that he’s fine because maybe if he pretends hard enough it will become true.
“I don’t even know why I’m scared,” he finds himself confessing anyway. “I don’t know why my leg hurts, or how to make it stop, or—”
or if I’ll ever feel normal again
There’s a flash of memory—Eddie crying at the dining table, Eddie’s room destroyed, Eddie’s door locked, Eddie dying in the street—so sudden and visceral that Buck flinches away from it. His breath stutters, and his leg throbs sharply, and it’s all so much that he almost flinches when Bobby puts a hand on his shoulder as well.
“I’m not going to pretend that I have all the answers,” Bobby says, as warm and steady as his hand. His lips twist into something wry for a second as he adds, “Or any of them.” Buck doesn’t smile, even though he thinks he’s supposed to. “But I’m always here if you want to talk, or even if you don’t.”
Bobby breakfasts . It’s not a secret at the firehouse, but it’s always talked about in low tones, the same way you’d whisper about something sacred. They’ve all had one at some point: a quiet invitation at the end of a hard shift, “we don’t have to talk if you don’t want to,” then the comforting bustle of a café with good coffee and eggs cooked any way you want them. Buck remembers sitting in that café three days after Eddie got shot, the taste of blood still in his mouth and his stomach too messed up to even think about eating, sipping camomile tea while Bobby ate a bagel and did the crossword in an honest to god newspaper beside him.
He remembers wondering where the newspaper even came from. Remembers the flash of fear at the realisation that he’d lost time somewhere between the firehouse and the café. Remembers his hands shaking around his teacup, china rattling as he set it back in the saucer, and Bobby’s knees bumping against his even though the table was big enough that they shouldn’t have.
He remembers that it helped, even if he didn’t really know it at the time.
“Captain Nash!” someone calls, and it’s like a bucket of ice water over Buck’s head.  
Bobby glances behind him, towards the IC who called his name, then back at Buck, his reluctance clear on his face.
“Go,” Buck tells him, hugging himself. “I’m okay.”
Bobby still hesitates, long enough that the IC calls his name again, and Buck tries for a smile that is probably more like a grimace by the time it reaches his lips. It gets Bobby moving though. Gets him to nod, once, and squeeze Buck’s shoulder again before he turns with a parting, “I’ll send Eddie over.”
Buck opens his mouth, halfway to a protest, but Bobby is already striding away. He should be annoyed, he thinks; he doesn’t need a babysitter. But instead he’s just kind of grateful as he sinks back against the engine, knowing he won’t be alone for long.
****
The shift is over by the time they get back to the station, but Buck still finds Bobby in his office. The door is open, but he knocks anyway, leaning heavily against the doorframe because he thinks his leg might collapse under him if he has to take one more step.
“I can’t,” he says, when Bobby looks up at him. “Talk about it. Not yet.”
Not with Bobby, at least. Not until he can find a way to say I’m not okay without also saying you died, you know? in my coma dream, you died because I wasn’t there to help save you, and I don’t know what to do with that because sometimes I feel like I can save everyone except myself .
“Okay,” Bobby says easily. “Would you like to have breakfast anyway? We don’t have to talk.”  
Buck smiles, tired but real. “I appreciate the offer, Cap, but—maybe a rain check?”  
Bobby’s face is a silent ah . “You’re going home with Eddie.”  
It’s not a question. Buck nods anyway. If he turned his head just slightly, he’d be able to see Eddie hovering by the engine, both their bags slung over his shoulder, waiting for Buck to be ready to go. Waiting to jump in if he’s needed too, knowing Eddie.
“Good,” Bobby smiles, and Buck knows it means he’ll take care of you . “If you need anything, let me know.”
“I will.”
Bobby nods, satisfied, then looks back down at his paperwork. “I’ll see you next shift, Buck.”
Buck bites the inside of his cheek so he doesn’t do something embarrassing like burst into tears. He has to breathe through the sudden lump in his throat a couple of times before he can say, “Thanks, Cap. See you next shift.”
He turns carefully, weight balanced on his good leg, and limps out towards the parking lot. It only takes a few seconds for Eddie to fall into step beside him, their shoulders bumping gently.  
“Okay?” he checks, brown eyes warm and serious on Buck’s face.  
Buck smiles; still tired, still pained, but still real.
“Yeah,” he answers. “All good.”
And it’s not really. Not fully. But—
“It will be,” Eddie agrees, smiling back.
It will be .  
Yeah.
Yeah, Buck thinks, he’s gonna be okay. His family will make sure of it.

Tumblr media
You were in denial. It was flu season but you could not possibly be getting a cold. The sore throat, just allergies. The runny nose, just from the cold weather. The fatigue that made you want to lay down forever, just because you had been working a lot.
You were not sick.
Aizawa on the other hand could see it before you had even noticed the symptoms. He was a teacher after all and nothing bred more illness than a school. Hero Academy included. He would suggest you get some extra rest or take something but you refused.
Pain pulsed in your skull, your throat burned and you had a cough that once it started didn’t stop. Not to mention the haze you were in, feeling disoriented and exhausted.
A hand touched your forehead as you lay in bed suffering the moments after waking up. “No fever, that’s a good sign,” Aizawa said sitting down, the weight of him on the bed next to you. “Sore throat?”
“Yeah,” You said, your voice barely working.
“Headache?” His voice was soothing, not too abrasive for your overwhelmed senses.
“Yeah,” It hurt to speak.
“Here’s some water,” He said helping you sit up to take a sip from your large water container you always toted around. You noted that he must have cleaned it out and refilled it since the water was icy.
“Thank you,” You said.
“Why don’t you take a hot shower, and change into your favorite bed clothes while I make you breakfast, yeah?” He said, his hand gently rubbing along your arm.
“Mhm,” You hummed. “Sounds nice.”
“Do you need help getting to the bathroom?” He asked.
“No,” You said sitting up, your head spinning for a moment. “Actually, maybe.”
Aizawa gave a soft small smile at your stubbornness even now. He helped you up, you were able to walk fine you just felt dizzy. He kept his arm around your shoulders just in case you got too dizzy.
“Thank you,” You said once you reached the bathroom, he made sure you were steady before leaving. You turned the shower water on hot before getting in. The warmth of the water did help your congestion and it was soothing. You stood there for way too long enjoying the steam before washing up. By the time you got out, there was a fresh warm towel and your favorite bedclothes folded on the counter. You smiled, Aizawa really spoiled you. Even more so when he knew you weren’t feeling good.
Returning to your bed you got back in, under the fluffy black comforter. You felt better even though taking a shower had been exhausting. Aizawa always knew best even when you didn’t want to admit it.
Aizawa returns with a tray table filled with food. You sit up, making sure the pillows are perfect as he sets down the tray. There’s miso soup with tofu and a bowl of rice as well as a cup of tea and medicine.
“Eat first and then take this medicine, it will help with the symptoms.” He said.
“Thank you, it looks good. I don’t know if I can taste though,” She joked.
“It will make you feel better that’s all that matters.” He said taking a spoonful of the soup before lifting it to your mouth.
If you told a younger version of yourself about this scene, your loving husband doting on you, feeding you soup, and bringing you everything you need while you’re sick. You would be shocked, perhaps even horrified.
For so long you had taken care of yourself through good and bad, you made yourself soup while you were sick. You pushed through it and did what you had to even if it meant passing out on the couch to take a nap in between taking care of yourself. You could never imagine letting someone dote on you to the point of feeding you.
Yet here you were. The journey had been long and not particularly easy. You could still remember the first time you had gotten sick, you denied it. Even as you struggled to stand, your face hot flushed with a fever. You had passed out and Aizawa carried you to bed. Even when you woke you tried to convince him you could get your own medicine and make your own soup. Aizawa had been patient but firm with you.
It had been hard to let someone take care of you but Aizawa made it easy. He was gentle and not condescending. It was so clear that everything he did was out of love, out of concern. It finally clicked when he had gotten sick, you wanted to do everything for him. You felt so helpless, you had wished you could take his pain away, even if it was just a cold.
Aizawa had struggled with being taken care of himself but with your new perspective, you had been able to convince him.
“I can get it myself,” He had said trying to get out of bed. You had pushed him gently back, he was too weak to resist.
“Remember when I was sick and trying to take care of myself?” You had asked. “You refused and took care of me. I still argued it then but now I get it.”
“Get it?” He questioned raising an eyebrow.
“I love you so much, I love taking care of you when you aren’t sick.” You said. “I hate seeing you like this the least I can do is take care of you since I can’t take this pain away.”
Your hand held his cheek, his dark eyes a bit hazy from the exhaustion of being sick but he was listening. “We aren’t alone anymore, we get to take care of each other, and accepting that care is just as much of a show of love as giving the care.”
Aizawa had smiled that warm smile of his and pulled you into a hug that did lead to you getting sick which meant you had to follow your own words by letting him take care of you when you were sick.
It was a process, learning to let someone care for you. He did it even when you weren’t sick, sometimes little things you almost missed like putting gas in your car or getting stuff off your grocery list. He never declared what he was doing looking for praise or fanfare. That didn’t mean you didn’t make a big deal out of it every time.
You did the same for him, the small things that helped daily life but you also loved shopping for him. The last thing Aizawa did was spoil himself. In fact, you weren’t sure you had ever seen him buy himself anything that was a luxury or a novelty. So you had taken it upon yourself to guess what things he might want if he ever did get it thought. You bought him fuzzy slippers with cats on them or a fictional book you thought he would like. Sometimes it was fancier things like cologne or a watch. Eventually, you got good at figuring out things he likes.
After eating your breakfast Aizawa took away the tray, leaving your tea on the bedside table. He returned and closed up the blinds making it dark in the room which made it a lot easier on your sensitive eyes. He crawled into bed with the remote putting on a show you had wanted to start for a while.
Despite how gross you looked and felt Aizawa pulled you in close, resting your head on his chest where you could still watch the show.
"You're gonna get sick," You mumbled against him, not exactly wanting him to move.
"I work at a school, my immune system is strong as it gets." He reassured you.
“If you get tired just sleep, I’ll pause the show.” He said softly, his hand rubbing your temple trying to alleviate the pain of your headache. “You need all the rest you can get.”
“Yes sir.” You said jokingly. You took his other hand in yours squeezing it gently. “Thank you again, for everything.”
“It’s nothing.” He dismissed.
“It’s everything,” You said moving his hand to your lips to press a kiss at the back of his hand. “You might want to wash your hand."
Aizawa laughed, your head moved against his chest.
“I love you,” He said.
“Love you more.” You replied.

Hi hope you have a nice day.
I’d like to request prompt 9 with azul , ace and epel
Please feel free to ignore this
Tumblr media
9. You weren't technically invited to this event but it's a Masquerade! It's not like anyone will notice or care if you sneak in, so you do just that and find a really depressed friend of yours lamenting they won't get to dance with their crush.
My dear friend there is no need to be so shy, I asked for requests. You have no need to ask me to ignore you! Hold your head high, you are more than welcome here ⊂(・ヮ・⊂)
As a note I got a separate request for this prompt from Azul's pov which I still intend to write and post in addition to this, but if said requester wishes for an additional character they are more than welcome to send a message, there is no time limit on that.
notes: they/them used for Yuu, I could not for the fucking life of me find any of the music I wanted to use for Azul. No piano cover for the first song and then no instrumental version of "Part of Your World" from Dreamlight Valley; why that isn't on youtube when it is my literal favorite arrangement of the song I couldn't tell you smh. I did manage to find something close to it though... The rest of the event requests can be found on my masterlist.
Tumblr media
Azul
Magic shmagic, you have got to be some sort of wizard with just how well you managed to weasel your way into this stupid party. No one had been checking invitations, probably assuming that no one without magic would bother taking time to make an elaborate ensemble just to get their hands on some prime snacks. Clearly they underestimated the great responsibility bestowed upon the owner of a set of tupperware. You would have added "and a cat monster" but you are not stupid enough to think you own Grim.
Or humiliated enough to suggest that he owns you, but the less chances you take at making him sneeze and wake up to a suspiciously empty dorm the better. You didn't need him storming the castle crying about how he woke up all alone and was scared wasn't invited. Not that you hadn't considered that plan together before Crewel had made it extra clear just what the consequences would be for that. The food tables are positioned close to a balcony you had spotted earlier, empty save for a piano that you swear has to be desperately out of tune.
Or at least that had been what you thought on your way in. That clearly isn't true from the song that's snapped your attention away from your mission towards it. You know the song that's being played, or at least you think you do. It causes some strange cognitive dissonance in you, you try to tell yourself that it simply can't be real, even as the words bubble up in your throat trying to make up for the missing instruments. The person playing it somehow makes the dissonance worse.
Azul, because it has to be him, no one else has eyes quite as lovely even if they seem strangely sad behind his mask, clearly is not expecting to be observed. He is far too relaxed, too caught up in some strange thought playing a jazz song so hauntingly out of place against the classical background of the Masquerade. If you were yourself tonight, you would think about reaching out to close the gap, but to do that would be to give yourself away, put you firmly in the tight grasp of his debt that you will likely be powerless to repay.
And yet, he looks to see you anyway, the edges of his lips flickering into business as he surprisingly does not stop playing. Instead he moves the piece into one he thinks "you" will recognize before finishing with a flourish.
It is all you can do to clap politely so as not to drop all pretense. "I am sorry for interrupting you." You try, but you know as well as he that disguised or not, Azul will not let you off this easily.
"Oh it's no trouble really." He stands up from the bench with a flourish. "I was just helping myself, really what were the hosts thinking leaving such a lovely piano out here all alone? It's practically begging to be played."
"Of course." You hope, not with much optimism, Azul doesn't notice you looking for an exit. The last thing you want is a reason to be more awkward around your handsome classmate than you already are. "You chose such a unique song for it too, I couldn't help but be distracted." He falters, fingers dropping back to the keys gently running over them in a strange show of emotion.
"it is isn't it." He states it, more to himself than you as you beat away the unhelpful desire to describe his playing as "out of this world," not wanting to deal with any judgment later. The look Azul has on his face can almost be described as... fond as he continues to speak more to himself than you. "A... friend of mine taught it to me. I have been practicing it for them. For tonight." You almost ask who he is referring to, afraid he might mention some other poor lost soul from another world because you certainly do not remember teaching him any music let alone that song. You have a vague memory of playing something at Floyd's request, but that had been ages ago, and Azul had certainly not been there.
At least not in your line of sight.
"I should let you get back to them then." You say lamely, hopefully Azul will pass that off as disinterest in his personal affairs and let you go. This is starting to get bad for your heart.
"They're not here sadly. No thanks to me, if only they had thought to ask for my help..." He returns to the piano, so genuinely disappointed you are almost angry at yourself for not thinking to ask this poor man who certainly only would have asked for your last dance and not your soul or first born. "It's got to be an important song to them if they remembered how to play it... right?"
Or maybe he would, just in a more romantic way. He certainly seems more focused on the phantom of you than anything else and that has to be some sort of accomplishment. It is all you can do to swallow your guilty conscious enough to leave with your disguise in tact.
Ace
"Yuu! Oi why are you running I knew you would-" Ace's hand stops just in front of you, his smile and optimism completely gone with his brain cells apparently as he retreats. "Ha, sorry." His places his hand behind his head casually, voice dropping to that similar serious tone as it had earlier in the night when he had asked for you to tell him he looked good. "Thought you were somebody else."
"Sorry." You really mean it, as much as you just want to shake off the disguise and let him know he was right that would be way too dangerous. Everyone knows you were not invited, and everyone knows his behavior around you. No matter how much your heart sings that he saw through you, it would get him into so much trouble if he was suspected of helping you in this little adventure.
"Nah it's not your fault, I'm just annoyed." Ace has apparently decided that you are his new old friend for the evening anyway, bracing himself against the pillar with a huff as you give into temptation to stay with him just a bit longer. "Seriously it is going to be such a pain later! Deuce is all like 'we should enjoy ourselves the prefect will be mad if we let them ruin it for us.' Please like I would want my friends to be celebrating when I'm not there."
"You're not your friend though." You try to not laugh as you say it because of course that's what Ace would say. You can easily picture him sulking if it had just been Deuce and you who were off to a Masquerade all while acting like he is truly not bothered as soon as you pay him any attention. "It's not like it's your fault they're not here."
"Ha, sure feels like it." He is back to being oddly serious, you can't decide if you just think the attitude doesn't suit him or are angry he is spilling his guts to a masked stranger and not the real you. He has to know you would listen, but then maybe that's the problem. "You have to have that one friend who never sticks up for themselves right? Everybody does. Just don't make the mistake of- well they're stupid difficult to look after but someone's gotta do it right? No shame if you end up liking them."
"Oh yeah of course." Ace is going to never speak to you again if he figures out this is you. Or if he knows you were thinking about him when he started complaining about having a "friend" that's hard to look after. "No shame at all, really it's annoying how much cuter it makes them."
"You get it." He nods then remembers he is supposed to be the laid back guy in your friend group and returning to his "normal" attitude. "I mean who doesn't understand that? Seriously how tropey can things get sometime, like who still falls for their best friend anymore? How stupid does life think I am- look," he claps you on the back before steeling himself to head off back to where you assume Deuce and the other members of the Heartslabyul crew are, "you see any out of place, magicless prefects you bring them right to me yeah? They owe me a dance for all the headaches they've caused me this past year. And you had best bet I intend to collect." And just like that he's gone. Off to his friends, probably to poke Riddle some to ignore just how vulnerable he decided to be tonight.
And leaving you silently screaming into the night.
Epel
"SHHHHH!" Epel's a deceptively strong guy, it's something he would probably be bragging about right now if he knew you were thinking it. Well maybe not just right now, he has his hand roughly over your mouth as his eyes dart from side to side begging that it's just Vil that's on his tail and not Rook.
Something you are equally begging god for because there is no way that freak of nature is going to not recognize you immediately. Not that you are 100% certain he would turn you in, but there is something extremely uncomfortable about being known to begin with let alone when you are supposed to be disguised. Finally, the specter of the Queen passes by your little nook and Epel lets you go with a sigh.
"M'sorry." Epel is looking up at you like a kicked puppy, you can't tell if it's intentional or he really is just that remorseful. The two of you float towards the tempting fresh air of the balcony, Epel pouting up at the sky as if he is a princess about to break into song about how boring his life is and how if he could just run away into the great yonder he would. "I just really don't want to deal with my Housewarden right now. He keeps say'n I should make the most of the night or else I'll shame Pomefiore, but I just don't care." Well that's not exactly news but still, maybe you can help him snap out of it so he doesn't get into a heap of trouble he'll be complaining about later.
"Aren't you having fun with your friends?" It's a simple first option, safe enough for you to say even though you are supposed to be a stranger. Epel lets out a somewhat predictable sigh, though the sheer force of longing hidden in the eyes you swear are almost shining is not something you expected.
"Well yeah, but a Masquerade like this is super fancy right? There's all these costumes, music fit for slow dancing, perfect thing ta' do with someone special." Epel relaxes, completely comfortable with what he's saying to a supposed stranger in supposed anonymity as if he isn't sending you spiraling with that little admission. "I was really countin' on Yuu bein here." He closes his eyes, almost as if he is imagining what he would be doing if you had been invited and weren't... sneaking around hearing him admit something he definitely did not intend to do like this.
"D-don't you want to dance?" You say it more to distract yourself than Epel, honestly you would love nothing more than to hear him talk about all the fancy things he wants to do with this allegedly special person, but you need an out before he figures things out. Before Vil figures out that Epel's really shirking things and sends Rook. Before-
"Aw yer mighty charmin' but I got my eye on someone already." before Epel makes it super clear just what it is he feels and leaves you no room for denial. You almost feel sorry for the hypothetical stranger you are, Epel looks so... happy when he talks about you. You're almost jealous of yourself. "Say, you got an eye for fancy things? It's gotta suck bein left out of the party so I wanna bring my friend somethin' special but I ain't gotta clue what to do."
"Yourself." You say softly, feather twitching just out of the corner of your eye signalling your que to leave. "If you want to bring your friend something special you should just bring yourself."

Festival of love
Chris Evans x reader
Tumblr media
Summary: When some unfortunate things happen at the festival, the most fortunate things would it become. Maybe home was truly a magical place if only you would look closer.
Warnings: feeling of loneliness, depression if you look very close, insecurities, alcohol and anxiety
Words: 6,2K
A/N: I’m really not too happy with this but also didn’t want to throw it away. Besides, this is kind of my way of telling my experience with the festival.
Festival of love
Finally it was time for the festival that you worked so hard for. It was your second year and you were beyond excited but also stressed. You were a photographer, designer and content creator for security and more. Anyways, you were walking over the place, photographing all the volunteers who were building the festival. After shooting some couple of pictures you walked back to your working place.
You opened the door and your boss looked at you. “Hey, got some good pictures?” he asked you. “Yeah I think so.” You told him, making him nod. “Hey, take a look at this. What do you think?” he asked you as you took a seat next to him. It was the timetable. You took a good look at it. “I think it looks nice but you made a mistake with the time.” You pointed out and he frowned, looking closely. “Oh shit, you’re right. Thanks!” he told you and you smiled, knowing that he was on the verge of sending the timetable to the presser.
You opened your laptop and checked your phone. You stared at your background with a soft smile. It was a picture of you and Chris together. You were good friends but always had a soft spot for the man that developed into a crush. Besides, you were almost positive that Chris didn’t liked you that way.
“You miss him?” You heard your boss say all of a sudden. “What?” you looked up and he hinted towards your phone. “Oh… eh yeah, I do.” He gave you a soft smile and nodded. Chris was in America while you were in your home country so with the different time zones it was hard to get contact. Besides you were on a lot of pressure.
Chris did sent you a message saying that he missed you. Like I said, you were great friends and saw each other at least once a week but now you haven’t seen each other in 5 weeks or so and right now you were living on the festival terrain. You didn’t live far from here but you would wake up early, go back to the property and would leave around midnight and that for over a week now and it would only get rougher since the festival was only 1 day away.
Your phone went off and saw that Chris was the sexiest man alive 2022. You smiled bright, unable to hide it and texted him. “How did you not tell me about being the sexiest man alive!” you sent him the text when the door flung open from the shack (yes you all had to improvise in some sort of office.) “Y/N, the screens are here. Maybe if you have time, we can take a look at how your slides are.” The boss of security asked you. “Yeah sure!” you told him and stood up. “Good luck, see you later!” Deck, your boss told you. He knew you were nervous about the slides because everything already went wrong that could go wrong and was now 517 slides further.
You walked over terrain while chatting with Dean, from security. You got your notepad just in case. They lit up the screen and you immediately smiled when you saw your design that thousands of thousands of people will see in a couple of days. “Looks great!” you told them relieved, seeing that everything was working right. They nodded and you chatted a bit. “I should go back to work now.” you told them, ready to go back. “No, wait!” you turned back to them with a frown. They chuckled awkwardly. “Ehhh, can you check something for us out? Just to see how it looks. We can use some advice.” They stuttered and that was the moment that you were suspecting that something was going on.
“Why?” you asked them, trying to figure out what was going on. “Because you are a designer.” You looked back to your working place and sighed. “Okay, yeah sure.” They smiled and walked back with you to their trailer.
You looked at what they wanted you to see and gave them advice. “So can I go back to work now?” you asked them and they nodded. You still gave them a look of suspicion. “Let us take you back in the gator.” You nodded with a smile. It was always a fun time, racing through the festival terrain with the gator. You hoped in the back and they raced you back to your shack. It started to get dark which meant that, soon everyone had to stop. Well at least with building. You still had to do some work.
You went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. You haven’t looked this tired in a long time. You felt yourself grow exhausted but you couldn’t stop. You ignored it and kept going, walking back to your office. You didn’t see Deck anywhere and the lights were out. You were confused because there was so much more to do, he couldn’t just leave now,  and if he did, you were certain that he would let you know at least.
You decided to let it go, placed your headphones on and started working on the things that needed to be done for tomorrow.
You were so lost in time that you had no clue how late it was until somebody knocked on your window. You looked up and saw Mo with a smile and a beer in his hands. “How long you’re going to stay in there?” he asked, making you chuckle. “Almost done.” You told him and he nodded. “Brought you a coke.” He told you and you signaled that he could come in. He opened the door and took a seat next to you, his feet up on the other chair as he placed the coke next to you. “Thank you.” you told him with a smile.
“You’re welcome. What are making anyway?”  he asked you. “Just some name passes but I’m almost done.” He nodded. “I’ll let you get back to it.” he told you and ruffled your hair before walking out.
You were working for at least an hour and was finally done when your phone beeped. You saw that it was a text from Chris. “Hey sweetheart, I’m sorry I didn’t told you but you could’ve guessed right? ; )” you chuckled “How are you holding up?” he asked you. “exciting but very stressing .Just finished up the last things for tomorrow” You texted back “But it’s 10 in the evening there right?”  “Yeah… but it needed to be done. I’m really tired right now.” you send him a picture from your office. “Hang in there princess, I’m so so incredibly proud of you sweetheart.” Your heart filled with love.
You got up and packed your stuff and placed them away safely, putting the key in your pocket and got out to get a beer and unwind. When you got a beer you saw that a lot of people were looking at you and whispering something. You frowned and felt the anxiety shoot up.
You quickly walked outside and saw Mo and a couple of other friends and sat down but even there, there were people who were looking at you. “What’s going on? Why are people looking at me?” you questioned worried. “Nobody is looking at you, what are you talking about?” Mo asked. You looked around again but this time they didn’t look. “Nothing, never mind.” You told him and tried to blend in with the background. You were staring until you felt a hand on your shoulder which scared you.
“I’m sorry. Can you walk with me for a second?” Deck asked you. Now you became really, really worried. When you stood up you saw people looking at you. If there was something to happen, which was. Then you knew that they knew. The gossip went like a wild fire over here. You looked at Mo and he just had a grin. You shook your head and looked confused while you walked with Deck.
“Deck…. I’m getting worried. Is everything okay?” You asked him and he saw the panic and anxiety in your eyes. “Yeah, yeah don’t worry! Just want you to meet somebody.” He told you and you were still confused but at least the panic disappeared a little. Deck walked you outside but you didn’t see anyone.
You turned around to Deck with a puzzling look on your face. “Deck.. I don’t understand and I’m starting to freak out. Just please tell me what’s going on. People were looking at me inside and.” You couldn’t finish your sentence, clearly in a bit of a panic until you heard a familiar voice behind you and Deck just smiled at you. “Don’t panic sweetheart, it’s just me princess.” You quickly turned around to look in the comforting blue eyes from the man that you missed so much.
“Chris?” you whispered out, almost as if you didn’t believe it. You wrapped your arms around his neck in a hug. Chris chuckled and softly rubbed your back and held the back of your head softly and placing multiple kisses on it. You got out of the hug to see if it was real or that you were so exhausted that you were imagining things. You cupped his cheek and looked at him with big eyes. “I can’t believe that you’re here.” You told him and got back in the hug while Chris chuckled.
“I’m here now sweetheart. I’m so sorry that we got you worried.” He told you and got out of the hug, softly rubbing your cheek. You turned around to look at Deck. “Was that why you were gone? Do they know? How, Why, When?” you asked, your brain clearly fogged. They both chuckled. “Let’s go back okay? Then I’ll let you guys catch up.” Deck told you. You both nodded and walked back inside. You held Chris’s hand and couldn’t wait to show him around. You were over the moon that he was here.
The people who looked at you earlier had a smile on their faces so you knew that they knew. You got another beer for yourself, Chris and Deck and sat down at a table. “I knew you missed him and well Chris contacted me so we decided to surprise you.” Deck explained. You nodded slightly and looked at Chris who had a loving smile on his face while he looked at you. “I have 2 weeks off so don’t worry princess.” He told you and you smiled. He knew you wanted to ask about his filming schedule.
“I missed you and I want to see your work and see the festival. Couldn’t miss my favorite girl her dream, now could I?” he told you with a smirk which made you smile flustered. Deck looked between you and Chris. “I’m going to leave you guys now. See you tomorrow!” he told you and stood up leaving. “Thank you.” You told Deck who smiled and winked at you before walking off.
Chris was still holding your hand and looked up at you. “You look tired sweetheart.” He gave you a soft smile. You shrugged a bit. “It’s worth it.” You told him with a smile and your other friends came to join you with more beer. You already decided that Chris would stay with you ( of course). You had a fun evening and so did Chris with so much laughter and stories.
When you started to get really tired, Chris took notices. “Let’s go home and to bed sweetheart.” You nodded. You said your goodbyes to everyone and walked away with Chris. You were halfway home when Chris noticed your discomfort from your feet and walking so much. “Come here sweetheart.” He told you and placed you some sort of wall that you could stand up on. “Get on my back princess.” You did as you were told and jumped on his back. his arms were holding your legs as he walked home. You let your head rest on his shoulder and played a bit with his hair.
“Your hair is soft” you told him softly in a daydream while going through his hair with your fingers. You weren’t paying attention but Chris smiled lovingly at the ground, thinking about what you had said. “I like it when you play with my hair.” He decided to open up. You smiled, heart fluttering at his words and continued playing with his hair.
When you reached your house, you stayed on Chris’s back. He turned a bit so you could put the key in your door. You opened the door and Chris sat you down on your couch. He put the lights on and made some hot water for tea. “I’m so sorry, let me get the tea, you’re my guest.” Chris chuckled “Sweetheart, just sit down okay? I can see how tired you are and stressed.” he gave you a side eye with a soft smirk, knowing that you’ve been stressed out to the max. “ Besides, it’s nothing new right? You do this at my place as well, it’s no big deal.” He reassured you.
You smiled softly at him. “I’m so glad you’re here.” You told him softly and Chris hear a curtained kind of sadness in your voice. “What’s going on princess, why are you sad?” he asked you as he sat next to you. He knew you like an open book. Instantly knowing when there was in the least slightest bit of unease. You looked up at him, his eyes ever so kind and soft.
“It’s just… this is my dream you know. But nobody really checks up on me, call me or wish me luck except for you, but you were so far away and I’ve felt so extremely lonely. I went through all of this, all on my own. No one around me, support me or whatever. So many things had happened, good and bad and never in my life did I want to share this experience with someone. Like I crave it to the depths of my soul and not being able to makes me feel like my heart is slowly tearing apart and I hate it.” you confessed. You’ve felt so lonely that everything just came out.
You sniffled when you remembered the feeling and wiped your tears away. “All my friends over here left me… I tried to text them you know, but they keep it short or ignore me. I just wanted someone to stand besides me. This is the biggest opportunity I got and I went through it alone even though they know how big and how much this means to me. So eh yeah that.” You told him realizing that you just threw everything on the table. You quickly wiped away your tears and chuckled a bit uncomfortably.
“I’m sorry, I guess I’m just very tired.” You tried to shrug it off but Chris wasn’t having it. “Y/N, It’s not nothing princess. I’m sorry that that happened but I’m here now and I’ll stand proudly besides you. And those ‘friends’ ain’t shit. They really aren’t. I’m so proud of you and I’ll support you with every bit I got. That’s why I’m here right now. I want to see you shine in what you do, see you happy, excited and over the moon. Wouldn’t miss that for the world pumpkin.” He told you and pulled you in a hug.
“You never have to be alone again and if I knew you felt like this, I would’ve come sooner. I’ll be by your side with every step you take. You’re the strongest person I know but you can show yourself completely to me with all the downfalls and insecurities and I promise you, I’ll never look at you differently. You don’t always have to look strong, I know you are but you don’t always have to be.” He told you and pulled you tighter in the hug. You decided to trust him on his words and let your tears just flow.
He pulled away from the hug and cupped your cheeks with a sad smile while looking at you. His thumbs softly wiping away the tears. He pulled you towards him and planted a kiss on your forehead and pulled you back into a hug again. “I’m so tired.” You told him sobbing. “I know, it’s okay now. You can let it go, I’m here and you’re safe. You’re doing so good princess. Great even and I couldn’t be more proud of you.” That was it. That was all you wanted to hear from someone in the time spree you were working on the festival and it broke you down once you heard them and Chris knew it, knew you needed to hear that so badly.
“I know baby girl, I know and I’ll repeat it every single day, multiple times a day, whatever you need because I need you to know that. You do things that are beyond my comprehension. You do so, so much in such a little amount of time, it’s impressive. YOU impress me every single day.” You chuckled a bit, thinking back at how much you’ve already done indeed. “Thank you Chris.” You told him when you calmed down a bit. He smiled “You are more than welcome.” He placed a last kiss on your forehead and made some tea.
You asked him about how he was doing and stuff but he told you that that would come later. He wanted to know everything that you’ve experienced and listened closely to your stories, enjoying every one of them.
After the tea, you both went upstairs. “I’m sorry, if I knew that you would come, I would have something ready.” You told him and he kissed your head again. “Don’t worry about it princess.” You nodded. “If you don’t mind, you can sleep next to me.” you told him and he already smiled at you. It wouldn’t be the first time that you’ve both slept in one bed but still. “I don’t mind.” He told you and you nodded with a slight smile.
You freshened up and both crawled into bed. “Come here sweetheart.” He told you and opened his arms so you could cuddle him. You smiled and threw your arms around him. His arm was underneath you and pulled you closer to his chest. The heat was radiating off of him, sending you into a new relaxation and you let out a sigh. It felt for the first time in weeks that you could breath again and relax. For over two weeks you were on the go, without a moment of acclimatization. Chris smiled, knowing that you finally had a bit of peace and he could give that to you. You were out like a light, exhausted while Chris softly played with your hair.
You woke up from your alarm and you groaned, turning around without opening your eyes. You felt Chris shift next to you and you snuggled against his side, not wanting to wake up yet. You heard him chuckle at your disagreement with the alarm. “Sweetheart, we have to get up. It’s the big day.” You groaned again and opened your eyes, already anxious about it. You stared at the ceiling while Chris looked at every feature on your face and noticed the frown between your eyebrows. “Hey, it’s going to be okay. You got this.” you looked to your side to Chris and nodded with a sigh.
You got up and looked for your work clothes. Luckily today, you would get a fresh and new shirt. Chris just looked at you and sat up as well. Deck gave him a pass and everything so he could come with you before the festival began.
You checked your phone and already saw that some things weren’t really working right and everyone was panicking. “Alright, seems like I have to be there fast.” You told him. “Wait a minute. You need breakfast.” He told you, already disagreeing about you leaving without it. You chuckled “I have breakfast over there. And lunch and dinner. They already take care of it. So the only real thing I do here is sleep.” Chris nodded slightly but decided to go along with you.
You both got freshened up and you got everything you needed. Chris looked at you while you were in your working clothes and focused on the day ahead. “Hey, come here for a sec.” Chris told you before you both got out of the house. He got your chin slightly so your attention would be on him. “I’m so proud of you and you are going to be amazing. You got this, show it.” you smiled at his encouraging words and hugged him. Your phone rang and interrupted the peaceful interaction. You chuckled “Let’s go, seems like they need me.” you told him and held your phone up.
You took the call while you both walked back to the festival. You explained some things to Deck, who was in complete panic because he accidentally deleted your file from his laptop and deleted about 100 passes. You chuckled a bit at the stupidity. “Deck, it’s okay. I’ve saved the file around 5 times so I still got it. It’s going to be okay. I’ll fix it when I arrive okay?” you could hear him sigh in relief. “Okay, see you soon and I’m so so sorry.” He told you. “It’s okay, see you soon.” You chuckled. Chris looked at you when you hang up. You chuckled and looked at him. “He deleted something that he shouldn’t have.” Chris nodded and chuckled.
You arrived at the festival. You showed your passes and signed up as every day. You got your new shirt and Chris got a jacket which showed that he was a guest (safety reasons). You walked with Chris through the area and got breakfast and something to drink. You saw Deck and walked over to the table he was eating at and sat down, Chris next to you.
“Rough morning huh?” you asked him and he chuckled. You knew he was stressed out. It would surprise you if he wasn’t but he was the boss after all. After some chatting and breakfast you got back to your small office place and gave Deck the file again before showing Chris around.
He loved every minute of you showing him around and how excited you got about it as well. You introduced Chris to your friends that you made there before heading back and doing some work. You got your computer and sat outside in the sun with Chris. It didn’t took long before the festival would began.
There was a tradition and that was when the festival would start, everyone who worked on this for the last week and a half would come together, they would play a song on the mainstage and everyone would hug each other. Your mom was there as well and stood next to Chris in VIP.
Chris gave you a big hug before you would leave and you promised him that you would look him up. Chris just smiled in response. “Don’t worry about me princess. Enjoy yourself and I’ll see you later okay? You got this remember? And if you ever feel shitty or something happened, good or bad and you want to talk. You know where to find me sweetheart.” Deck stood next to you with a smile, waiting for you to come to the main stage.
You nodded and left the tribune to go to main. You saw your friends and colleagues already standing there. The music started playing and you saw from every side people running to main to congratulate each other for making the festival. You looked back to VIP and saw Chris and your mom smiling at you. You hugged everyone. Some started crying from all the pent up stress. Everyone got a beer and this moment you felt the tears slip. Your friends/colleagues noticed and pulled you into a hug. Chris saw it but knew you were in good hands now.
After the song ended you felt strong and powerful, walking over the festival with your head held high. You started photographing and walked with colleagues over the terrain.
You were so busy and in the evening you stood front row by main with your camera ready. You looked at the VIP section and saw Chris already smiling at you and taking pictures. You heard your phone go off and looked, seeing a text from Chris. “You look like you own the place in every good way possible. Couldn’t be more proud of you sweetheart.” You looked back and smiled at Chris. You sent a heart back. Chris was right though. You were confident when you were working. You had to be otherwise they wouldn’t let you in in certain areas. There was no time for people pleasing in this job at this moment. You had a job to do.
~time skip~
The festival was over and you felt sad. It was the most amazing experience you’ve ever had and the most amazing part was that you could share it with the person you love, Chris. These days you fell more in love with him than ever before and it made you slightly anxious. They were breaking down the festival and you came around to help when you saw Deck.
“Hey” you told him, making him turn around. “Hey, how are you?” he asked you with a smile. You picked stuff off from the floor and put the things in the back of the truck. “Yeah alright. Just a little sad it’s already over.” You told him as he continued the work. “and what about you?” he smiled. “I’m hanging on. I’ll collapse when it’s over.” He told you, making you chuckle and agree. You both hadn’t had a relaxing moment since the day you started this.
“How’s Chris?” he asked you with a smirk which made you frown in suspicion. “yeah, he’s fine.” You told him and he nodded. “So you guys together already or how long is it going to take the both of you?” you looked up in shock while he just had a grin. “What are you talking about?” you still tried to deny it because if you didn’t and spoke it out loud, then it would be real and there would be a chance that you could lose him.
“Oh come on now Y/N. Everyone can see it except the both of you. Besides, the way he looked at you with the afterparty… and how close you two are. Friends don’t look at friends that way.” He told you while walking past you with a couple of boxes as you stood there frozen. “You want another t-shirt and jacket??” he asked you as he looked in the boxes and threw you a couple which snapped you out of your thoughts. Deck saw that you were surprised to say the least and sat down on the edge of the truck. He tapped the spot besides him and you walked over to him, jumping up as well.
“I know it’s scary but it’s scarier not to pursue it when both of you love each other so clearly. You’ll regret it if you don’t. maybe it doesn’t work out but at least then you could say that you’ve tried it with everything you have. You don’t have to say it right away or do anything but maybe you can focus on it. You know when you’re interacting with each other, just ask yourself the question: Is this what friends would do or does he more? And when you see it, I can promise you, you’ll realize that he’s more than just a friend.” He told you and got up again to pick up some boxes. You were wrapped up in your own mind, going back to all the interactions you had with Chris and already saw that he was treating you more than just a friend indeed. “So are you going to help me or what?” Deck smiled as he saw you realize it and passed you some boxes and gave you a wink.
You continued packing everything up but you were in need of more people and everyone started to stress around you because you’ve been cleaning up here for over 4 days now and tonight would be the deadline that everything had to be gone. You texted Chris about the current situation and you saw that he saw it but didn’t respond.
You were continuing with the boxes with Deck until you heard a familiar voice “Hey.” You both turned around and saw Chris standing there. You and Deck looked at each other “I heard that you guys needed some help.” He told you and got one of the heavy boxes out of your arms. “Where does this one go?” he asked Deck and he pointed to the spot where it should go and looked back at you when Chris walked away. You were both surprised and at that moment Deck got a smirk and winked at you. You rolled your eyes and continued the work.
You all worked extremely hard and fast. You, Deck and Chris drove around from the terrain to the headquarters to put all the boxes away and everything. Finally around 6 in the evening you were done and exhausted. You had dinner outside and all went to the pub together to have a last drink with each other and celebrate that you all made it on time and just about the whole festival.
Chris and Deck stood next to you. You were all exhausted. “How do you guys made it if you had to do this everyday and with all the other things you were both doing. I’m seriously exhausted and you both had to do this all day for the last 2 weeks. I’m impressed.” He told you both. You and Deck laughed “you get used to it eventually. Or not and you just ignore it, going over in the automatic stand.” You told him and Deck heavily agreed with you.
You all drank some more and chatted. You and Chris started to lean more towards each other. His arm leaning pressed against yours and you felt the butterflies go lose and the only thing you could think about was what Deck told you. “Would friends do this or is there more?” Deck saw you deep in thought and gave you a knowing smile. You knew he was right do, just didn’t want to give in yet.
“Y/N?” you heard someone ask and you turned around. It was a guy that you’ve known from school. “Hey!” you told him excited, Chris keeping a close eye on you. You gave him a hug. You started chatting and he was always very flirtatious around you which Chris made his jaw clench. Deck noticed and walked off. “So you have a boyfriend?” he asked you with a smirk. You wanted to respond but Chris already responded to you. “Yes.” You could hear the irritation in his voice. His eyes a bit dark and mean while he looked at the guy.
Chris was leaning on his arm when he stepped away from the high table and walked towards you, standing next to you. The guy started to stutter and you were too much in shock to even respond. “I..I… eh.. s-s-sorry. I’ll see you around bye.” He walked away and Chris kept looking at the guy. You were both silent, thinking about what just happened.
You turned around to Chris and he looked at you with a ‘oh I fucked up face’. “what was that?” you asked him. Chris didn’t know what to say and started to panic as his anxiety went up. “I ehm… eh am sorry.” You squeezed your eyebrows together.
“Let’s go over there.” it sounded more like a question. You looked around and everyone was minding their own business until your eyes connected with Deck’s. he nodded at you and you nodded to Chris, walking over to somewhere more private. “Y/N, I really like you. Hell, I’m in love with you and I did from the moment I met you but it had gotten worse since the festival and I don’t know why and maybe I don’t want to know but I do know that I love you….” he was speaking very fast, clearly nervous and you tried to take every bit of information from his confession to you but struggled with processing everything.
“I really like you too Chris.” You spewed out almost as if it went automatically. Chris stopped speaking and looked at you. surprise yet relief was visible on his face while he took a deep breath. “You like me too?” he questioned and you nodded, looking down at the pavement.
You felt his fingers underneath your chin as he softly pushed your chin up so you would look at him. Chris smiled lovingly and adoringly at you. He cupped your cheek and came slightly closer but gave you enough time to get away but instead you leaned in and brushed your lips over yours. You both let out a shaky breath. You locked lips and waited, trying to process what was happening until Chris deepened the kiss. He pulled you closer and your fingers found his shirt, holding it tightly and your other hand went through his hair.
When you pulled away from the kiss you looked at each other. “Are we a couple?” you asked him and he smiled again. “I would love to be a couple if you do.” He was so soft with you it almost melted your heart. “I would like that.” You almost whispered and smiled. You both chuckled a bit before he kissed you again. “I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you.” he whispered through the kiss, making you smile. You both pulled away again and you saw that his hair was ravished.
“Come here.” You told him softly and giggled before going with your hands through his hair, trying to fix it. You stepped a bit back to look at his hair. You smiled and nodded. “Yeah I look good?” he asked you, making you laugh. “Yeah, you are sexiest man alive.” He chuckled as well and held your hands and looked at them before making eye contact with you again. He cupped your cheek and placed a kiss on your forehead, letting it linger a bit. “Let’s get back princess.” You nodded and held his hand walking back.
Deck looked behind him and saw you guys holding hands. He smiled and nodded which you returned with a shy smile. “So Chris, what do you think about next year? Want to join the team?” Deck asked as he turned towards the both of you with a smile. Chris looked at you and smiled. “I’ll think about it.” he told Deck but kept looking lovingly at you with a smile.
Deck nodded with a smile “You look good together. It fits very well.” You saw Chris softly blush as you got shy yourself. “Thanks.” You both murmured out. “But you better take care of her. She’s family you know.” Deck warned him and Chris nodded. “I will. I’ll promise you that.” Deck nodded with a smile. “I know. just making sure.” Chris nodded.
~time stamp~
“It’s our time again.” Everyone said when you walked in and gave everyone a hug. “So glad I’m back” you told them in relief as if you could breath again. “We’re all are.” One of your friends say. “So how’s your first year of being the boss with Deck ?” you chuckled “Stressful but I’m so glad that he’s helping me learn all these things.” Your friend nodded. Chris walked up besides you. “So how are you holding up with her and being the new boss and all of that?” Chris chuckled “She’s been a sunshine.” You chuckled, knowing damn well that you weren’t. “No, we’re doing really good actually. You guys were right, we do fit very well together.” Chris told them as he looked at you.
“Well, welcome in the family brother.” One of the guys told him and Chris smiled. Deck walked up towards you “Hey” he said happily and gave you and Chris a hug. “I’m sorry to interrupt but I’m going to have to steal your girlfriend for now.” Chris chuckled and gave you a kiss. “Good luck sweetheart” he told you “You too handsome.”  He smiled as you parted ways. He helping the guys building the festival up and you got some sort of promotion and would became the new boss when you’ve learned everything.
Things couldn’t have been better.

Why Won't You Love Me | Luke Hemmings
Pairing: Luke Hemmings x Reader (she/her)
Summary: Luke and Y/N broke up after a few months of dating so they could at least remain friends, but seemed like it didn't ease the pain.
Warning: angst, fluff, a bit of cursing and mentioning of alcohol
Word Count: 3 081
Requested: yes
Author’s Note: It's partly a song!fic, too, I guess. Hopefully you'll like it! I enjoyed writing their memories so much. Please, don’t forget to like/repost/comment, it helps a lot!
Tumblr media
So many senseless quotes were out there. “They didn’t mean to be.” “They just met at the wrong time.” What did they try to express by that? Y/N was getting furious each time she’d bump into another photo with a pretty text on it. It’d hurt, actually hurt. From the throat, down the stomach, it would squeeze the guts inside and move lower, until she’d lose any desire to leave her bed and go to a short walk, at least. Those quotes were nothing but small ugly stones in a shiny candy wrapper. 
It wasn’t even supposed to be that painful. They ended the things up just after three months of dating, so there wouldn’t be a damage to their souls even more if they’d give each other another month. Why didn’t it go according to that perfect plan, though? Why would she be upset when he couldn’t be in touch during a tour, why did she prefer to be apart, but once they were, it didn’t feel any better? 
Why was he still dreaming about her at nights? Why would he wake up in the middle of sleep, calling her name? Why suddenly it was the only name he knew at all? The bed was colder, the pillow was more of a sharp rock, and the food lost its flavors.
The life didn’t even let them catch a breath. It seemed like it couldn’t get any worse at that point, truly. Luke was back to LA after touring, and they meant to remain friends, yet, they hadn’t seen each other ever since. It was just hard, almost unbearable. They thought they’d break up to save their friendship, and yet they lost everything. Each other. 
Y/N would still be in touch with other guys, only sometimes though. It wasn’t like it used to be, surely. Everyone knew it couldn’t be, even if they didn’t talk about it openly. Yet, Ash decided to send Y/N a short message, asking to meet as he was finally home. Honestly, it was the only nice day for the past few months.
“What the fuck is she doing here?” Luke turned all the way to the window and stared at Ashton and Y/N, who were approaching the car. They were talking and smiling, Ash was carrying her suitcase.
“Y/N had rough few weeks, so Ashton suggested her going to the villa with us,” Calum explained casually, looking at the friend.
Lu hastened to turn towards Cal, who was sitting just behind him.
“You kidding? It supposed to be our weekend!”
“And it will be, Luke,” Michael hurried up to reassure, resting hands on a steering wheel. “C’mon, we are still her friends, she’s quitting her job and yet can’t find anything good for her, you have to be a bit understanding.”
“Understanding?!” he outraged. “Could you at least warn me in advance, guys?!”
“We knew you wouldn’t mind anyway. Even if you’re now behaving like you do,” Cal answered and turned a head away, as the door opened, and Y/N got inside.
“Hi, guys,” she smiled shortly.
“Hey, how are you?” Mike gave her a hug as much as he could, being in the driver’s seat.
Calum smiled and cuddled the girl, too.
“Hi, Y/N, so glad to see you.”
“It’s mutual, Cal,” she nodded and then leaned towards Luke. It’d be weird to ignore him.
“Hey,” he only said and patted Y/N on a shoulder, almost holding his breath so he wouldn’t sense the perfume the guy used to love so much.
She hadn’t exactly changed. Maybe a little. Yes, Luke saw dark circles under her pretty eyes, her face was tired and lost its healthy color, but she was still beautiful. Y/N smiled, and the musician only sighed, looking away, because it was simply impossible to look at her. To remember that they didn’t work out because of their own stupidity, naivety, recklessness and ego, assuming they could be just fine without each other.
Ashton placed the girl’s suitcase in a trunk and got inside as well, so Michael started the car.
The road was long. It took almost two hours, for Luke it felt all four. He almost didn’t speak. The guy was staring at the window, observing the nature passing by, while others didn’t stop talking. At some moment he just closed the eyes and pretended to fall asleep. Maybe it was childish, but it helped to feel the pain less. 
“Luke?” she stopped next to him, as they all came inside, and Ash gave everyone a tour to their new home for the coming week.
The villa was a pretty one, spacious, with a pool, fireplace, tennis court, few bedrooms downstairs and upstairs. But honestly the head was so much not there.
The guy turned to Y/N and only mumbled something, waiting for her to continue. She sighed and hid hands in pockets of a hoodie.
“I know it… it can be uncomfortable for us, and… I’m sorry if it’s the case for you. I… just missed… my friends,” the girl was trying to find the right words carefully. “And I really needed some change in my routine,” she sighed.
“No, we are all glad to see you,” Luke said, and he knew it was the truth even if he was hiding it from himself. “Mike told me you have some problems with the job, though. Are you alright? Do you want to talk about it?”
Her lips stretched into a smile immediately, and she shrugged. 
“No, I’m good. Thanks, though.”
“Don’t do this,” he said, looking at the girl’s eyes.
“Do what?”
“Smile. I know you’re hurt.”
It was painful to watch. Him, pretending he was ready to come back as a comforting “just friend”, and her, behaving like she was strong enough to move forward without him. The world was falling apart, they knew it. Didn’t figure out how to fix it, yet.
Ashton was right, though, the change of a place was helping Y/N a lot. Maybe the presence of Luke was, too. It felt nice to let the head have a rest and not to think of problems which were waiting for her in LA. It was nice to forget the day of a week and lose track of time. And it was rather healing to notice Luke’s eyes on hers, to feel a slight touch of the fingers on her skin while he was passing by or taking the same candy from a vase. He felt almost alive again. And she finally remembered how it was, in heaven. 
Luke was an angel. She’d tell him that millions of times when they were together. During breakfast or before going to bed. While he’d be touching her like only he could, or when he’d sing for her. He was an angel. The guy would laugh at that. Would get certainly shy, and maybe she’d, if would be extremely lucky, see a slight blush on his cheeks. 
“I think you were a Cupid back in centuries,” she said, lying with him in bed.
“A what?” Luke chuckled and left a soft kiss on her nose. “What kind of silly thoughts are in your head, Y/N?”
“No, I’m honest,” the girl smiled and hugged a pillow, looking at him. “Your eyes are reflection of the sky, Luke. Your golden hair is just like Cupid’s. You have magical voice, and you have a soul of an angel,” she rested a palm on his chest. “Do you think you can fly?”
He smiled and leaned to kiss her sweet lips.
“I feel like flying all the time when I’m with you,” Luke whispered. 
He had to leave. They both knew it, there wasn’t even anything dramatic about that. The tour had lasted for months, when he’d go back home for few days it was just harder to say a goodbye. The last time they had said it, as a couple, they had probably already known it’d be their last kiss. Luke knew they weren’t alright, but he couldn’t stay and talk it through. She didn’t want him to, either. Y/N knew what she signed for when they started to date, the girl wasn’t delusional. They just both thought the distance wouldn’t hurt them. 
They hated the phone calls. It was easier with texts, but when he’d see her face on a screen, Luke would have to hold back the tears. She’d smile, just like she did when they arrived to the villa and he asked how she was, and then would cry all night, missing him, them. Desperately, unbearable. 
“I just feel lonely, Luke. I feel lonelier with you than I was by myself,” Y/N said the other night, and it just broke him, simply, without any other bright adjectives, without complexion.
“I don’t want to let you go.”
“I don’t want that to. But maybe that’s why we need to stop this torment.”
“Is that how it is for you to be with me?”
“No, you don’t get it. It’s how it is being without you.”
She still remembered his eyes that night. Maybe it was for the better they spoke on the phone and not in person. Maybe it was for the better that he was hundreds of miles away from her. His eyes were cloudy, grey, bursting into rain any second. Y/N was already crying. She hadn’t stopped for the past few days after that call.
The pain was going away, though, slowly. Who knew the pill from the agony could be the same as for happiness. She thought it’d be awkward; and truly was trying to reassure Ashton and explain how weird it’d be to go on a trip with them after all what had happened between her and Luke. But Ash knew it was exactly what the guys needed. A second chance…
“Do you like it here?” Luke turned his head towards Y/N as she entered the kitchen to get a snack, and smiled. The guy himself was sitting on a couch with a guitar in his hands. He was working on a new song, the idea came to his mind a few days ago, when they first arrived to the villa. 
The girl looked at the musician and smiled back, taking a slice of rye bread and a plate.
“I do,” she said honestly. 
“On a scale of liquorice to pizza how much do you like it here?” Luke chuckled and left the guitar on a couch, then walked towards Y/N.
“Pizza level,” the girl laughed shortly and showed avocado in a hand. “Do you want some?”
“Yeah, I’ll help you,” he nodded and got another slice of bread. “I’m happy you’re having a rest here, with us.”
“Really?” Y/N sounded almost surprised, washing the fruit.
“Of course,” Luke hurried up to glance at her, as the girl knew his sky eyes didn’t lie. “Why are you amazed?”
“No, it’s just…” she shrugged. “I was worried it’d be odd, but the truth is…”
“I’m really glad to see you,” the guy interrupted her, as he really wanted to say it first.
Y/N smiled and nodded, glancing at Luke.
“I’m really glad to see you, too…”
Luke sighed and put a bread slice on a plate.
“Look, I… I’m sorry it happened like that. I… I should have been stronger; I knew it wouldn’t be easy…”
“Luke, you shouldn’t have,” Y/N shook her head. She didn’t want him to blame himself, it wasn’t fair.
“Yeah, but now I feel like I gave up too easily,” he said honestly, looking at the girl, while she was making them sandwiches.
“We both gave up,” she corrected him and, seeing Lu wanted to say something else, hurried up to change the topic.
“Where are the others, by the way?”
“They went to get some grocery,” he mumbled, not being convinced with the news himself. Friends probably thought they were idiots.
“Oh,” Y/N nodded. “Ash didn’t really warn me, weird.”
For some reason that phrase made him chuckle in annoyance and even though “don’t say it” was ringing in his head, he spilled it out nevertheless.
“You and Ashton are pretty close, huh?”
The girl raised her eyebrows in a surprise and looked up at the guy.
“I mean… Just like with all of you?” Y/N asked, although it wasn’t exactly the truth — with Luke it was different.
The musician immediately got embarrassed that he snapped at her.
“I’m sorry. I’m not allowed to be jealous, you aren’t even mine,” 'anymore', he wanted to add but bit his lips before adding anything more stupid.
The girl swallowed and looked down.
“Ash and I are just friends. Always were and always will be,” she said quietly, wondering if Luke knew the reason. Because she still loved him, of course, she did. Her angelic boy…
“I wrote a song,” he mumbled. “I mean, I’m still writing it,” the guy ran the hand through his hair, getting nervous. “Wanna check it out? The melody isn’t here yet, there are just lyrics for now.”
“Sure, I’d love that,” Y/N nodded, and they took a seat on a couch with their snacks. Usually, Luke didn’t like people checking his unfinished songs or lyrics, but, driving by emotions, the guy really wanted her to read the lines he came up with.
Y/N took the notebook and read hastily written text. It was clear Luke was in a hurry to put it on paper until he forgot. 
Switching into airplane mode again We're not alright but I'll pretend Press my cheek against the glass Just be good 'til I get back
The ground disappears I hold back the tears I check my phone to see your face Staring back as if to say Don't worry, you won't be lonely
“Luke, it’s so beautiful…” Y/N smiled and looked up at Luke. “Almost like a story. And I desperately want to find out what will be next for them,” she handed the notebook back to him.
“Really?” the corners of the guy’s lips twitched in a short smile. Luke wasn’t sure if Y/N actually got that the unfinished song was about them. Was she pretending so he wouldn’t rise that topic again? She didn’t miss him? “Thanks. I guess,” the guy mumbled and put the notebook on a coffee table, feeling another burn in a heart.
Y/N wasn’t lying and surely didn’t want to hurt Luke. She just thought it’d be too narcissistic to think the song was about them, after all their relationship didn’t last long. Before that they were just friends. The song could be about anyone. Could be about some fiction characters, too…
Why won't you love me? Why won't you love me? You imagine when you close your eyes You're with me on the other side So why won't you love me?
Whiskey became his friend for a while. Stupid, useless, Luke knew. Yet the only time when he was not thinking about Y/N was mostly when he was drunk. Although even at that time memories would rush to his head, while he’d be sitting at a bar where they used to go together.
He wished he could call her and hear “I love you, too”, but he didn’t dare to hit a green button on his phone. They broke up, they were just friends. They supposed to remain friends, became strangers instead. But then found each other again, thanks to his band mates.
Why won't you love me? Why won't you love me? We're together, all alone tonight So helpless from the other side So why won't you love me?
It didn’t matter if the guys were planning to have a rest, they all knew that at some point they’d still end up in a studio making music. Y/N wasn’t surprised to see a small one on the villa either – friends would only regret if they didn’t have their creative space.
At such times the girl didn’t usually bother them and was spending time by herself, enjoying small vacation. Honestly, she needed it. And even though Y/N was not with Luke anymore, just to be in his presence and see his face was the greatest gift.
“So, you finished it? I like it,” the girl smiled and entered the studio, as Luke performed the last accords of a song he showed her just few days ago. The band mates left to order food, but Luke decided to stay for a little longer.
“Sure, you do,” he chuckled and annoyingly leaned the guitar against the wall.
“I… do like it,” Luke’s coldness in a voice took Y/N by surprise, so she stumbled. “You think I’m lying?”
“Listen, I don’t want to talk about it,” he jumped from a couch and hurried up to leave, but the girl caught his hand.
“Luke… Did I say something wrong? I’m sorry, I just—“
“It’s nothing, really. Glad you liked the song. I just thought you’d be less delusional about it.”
Y/N felt like chills run all over her body, while she was looking at Luke’s blue eyes. 
“Wait,” she swallowed. “Was this song about me? Us?…"
“Oh, so you finally figured it out?” he chuckled again and rolled the eyes, crossing arms on the chest as if not believing that all that time Y/N didn’t understand it. And honestly, she felt ashamed for not getting it all along.
“Luke… I just thought it’d be… too much of me to think so, I thought that maybe it’s just some fiction or about someone else and—“
The guy covered her palm with his, interrupting.
“All the songs for the past month were about you, Y/N,” he shook his head. “How could you not realize that?”
“Maybe because you’re asking why I won’t love you?”
“And what about it?” the guy shrugged.
“Because I already love you, Luke. Always have, nothing has changed,” she looked down, whispering her confession.
The guy’s heart threatened to break a chest with such a rushed beating.
“I hold on to you and you hold on to me,” he whispered back one of the final lines of the song and smiled shortly, squeezing the girl’s hand in his. “I don’t like being without you, Y/N. I’ve tried, I just hated it.”
The girl sighed and simply hugged her angelic boy, resting a head on his chest.
“I hated it, too. And I want to hold on to you if you hold on to me…”
“Always,” he promised and left a short kiss on her temple.

11:46 PM , Boston, Massachusetts ;
You were laying in bed almost falling asleep with that boring movie your little brother insisted on watching ; your phone vibrated, it was Nick sending you a message " pls come to our house and save me from the two straight men they’re annoying 😭😫 " , you laughed at " the two straight men " who Nick referred to describe Matt and Chris , "sleepover ? " you ask " YESSS " Nick replies. You’re so excited , you know the night is going to be fun and suddenly you had a reason to bail on your brother and that awful movie .
After packing a bag with clothes and toiletries you head to your car and drove to the Sturniolo’s house while listening to your favorites artists . You finally arrive after 10 minutes, Nick is already on the porch waiting to welcome you " wow " you think to yourself , the straight men must have really bothered him . You get out of the car and hug Nick who welcome you in . But suddenly you remembered…your stomach started to hurt because of how anxious you were knowing that you were going to see him . You were relieved not seeing him downstairs and maybe thought that he was already asleep but no here he was standing in the kitchen,sitting down on the stool . He got up when he saw you , your heart was beating so fast and your stomach filled with butterflies.
- "Hi y/n ! " He says
- " Hey Jimmy " . You say slightly giggling
- "How you’ve been doing ?? I haven’t see you in a while " . Jimmy says as his shiny but beautiful head sparkles with the reflection of the light.
He was right .. I was avoiding coming to the Triplets house to avoid Jimmy , he just made me so nervous.
-" Yes I have been busy with school and keeping up with my siblings" you say laughing avoiding his blue eyes staring at you.
- he laughs , " well it’s always nice to see you around, you’re always welcome here! "
WAS he flirting with me ?? Or was I delusional. Either way I couldn’t do this to my best friends .
- " Thank you " I replied before Nick pulls me into his room .
A good two hours went by but I was still thinking about him , sometimes looking at Nick would make me think of him but also made me realize that it was their dad …. Nick and I were chilling listening to music , playing games and time from time, Chris and Matt would come and bother us , throwing pillows and throwing us water with their little water gun . It was fun but Nick was starting to doze off , slowly falling asleep. You on the other hand was wide awake , that’s when you started to regret drinking 3 RedBull but anyway you scrolled on your phone waiting for the tiredness to kick in.
3:52 AM
No it didn’t kick in , you were wide awake , laying next to a sleepy and snoring Nick . The light from the kitchen turned on which immediately catch your attention , maybe it was Matt or Chris , someone you could hang out with . You slowly get up and start walking towards the door .
A man’s figure opening the fridge, it was Jimmy , he turns;
- " Y/N ? Why aren’t you sleeping , did I woke you ?"
He was so sweet and caring worrying for me .
- " No don’t worry I can’t sleep , i thought it might have been Matt or Chris "
- he laughs softly " sorry to disappoint y/n it’s just big old Jimmy "
- " Your not old " you say laughing trying to comfort him
- " You’re a very nice girl ! My boys are lucky to have you "
If only he knew that he’s the one I wanted .. He leaves waddling away before I have time to say anything .
I dedicate that one to my beautiful Mina . WHO WANTS A PART 2 😜😜😜
THIS IS WHAT I WAKE UP TO
