omg ur taking requests!
can you do some angst to fluff with Atsumu, Iwaizumi, Suna, Kuroo, Ushijima, and Sakusa (I’m sorry if they’re too many you can choose whoever you want to write about from these characters, I luv all of them soooo much)
Can you make it like really really Angsty in the start. Like the characters doing something they’ll regret a lot and then they spend a lot of efforts making up for it? Please make it fluffy in the end, I can’t handle sad endings 😭
Also please don’t include anything with infidelity or mentions of it. My boyfriend of 3 years cheated on me last month and I’m having such a hard time.
Thank you for considering my request. And there’s no pressure to accept, I don’t mind at all.
Hi! yes I am taking requests right now. 😇 First of all, I'm so sorry that you had such a negative experience. But tbh, you're better off this way. Nobody needs such an ass cheating on them! 😔😤 My ex did that too, with my ex-best friend btw. I also had a hard time but quickly felt better because I realised that it's a waste of time to cry over such a dick. I hope you don't lose hope in a healthy relationship based on trust. There really are good people out there and I hope you find someone who can appreciate you. Sending you a lot of hugs and kisses. 🤗💚❤️‍🩹
And for your request. I've written three stories for Tsumu, Iwa and Suna. Unfortunately they got a bit tooo long for my taste, so I only made these 3. I hope that's okay. I really had problems making it super angsty (urg, I need more practice for angsty stuff 😵‍💫). As you wished, I didn't include anything with cheating (even though I had a few ideas haha.) and I also added a trigger warning before each story. I think Iwa's and Suna's in particular might be a bit darker... so you can decide on your own if you want to continue reading it or not. Anyway, I hope you still like it, and thanks for your request. Stay healthy! 🥰💚

Part 1 | Part 2 (End)

tw: mention of break-up
You met Atsumu when he came to his brother’s onigiri store for the housewarming.
The two of you got along well quickly. And it wasn’t long before he kissed you at a party, looked at you with his cheeky grin and said, “Tastes better than a victory.”
More things happened that night. Not just simple kisses and when you woke up next to him in bed, he asked you, still sleepy: “You’re my girlfriend now, aren’t you?”
You’ve been together for several years now and were thinking about moving in together soon when Atsumu’s career suddenly took off. He was traveling abroad more often and had less time for you or looking for an apartment.
And then it happened…
You scroll through the apartment search app for something suitable for the two of you, lying on the bed while missing him terribly. You close the app to go to your messenger, only to realize that you were the one who last texted Atsumu... two days ago… Two blue check marks indicate that he has read your messages but has not replied. Your fingers hover over the keypad of your phone and you think about writing to him. Maybe he read your message during training and didn’t have time to reply. Maybe he just forgot about it afterwards... maybe...
“Hey Tsumu... I know you’re busy but, I hope you’re doing well. Love you.” you type into your phone and send the message with a strange feeling in your stomach. It doesn’t take long before you see under his name that he is online. The gray check marks next to your message turn blue, but instead of replying, you see that he went offline again. You swallow a big lump down your throat, your heart feels heavy. Maybe he can’t answer you right now... you try to convince yourself again.
Several hours pass as you sink your head into your pillow and try to stifle your tears. Atsumu’s sports t-shirt is in your arms, which he had given you before his trip abroad. Time passes and suddenly you hear the ringtone of your phone as a message arrives. Your heart hits loud against your chest as you reach for your phone and see your boyfriend’s name. But your joy quickly disappears, the lump in your throat gets bigger and you can’t breathe. 
>> Hey... listen, I think it’s better if we end the relationship… break up. I don’t know, but I just don’t have time for it. I’ll see you around. <<
It feels like a slap in the face. As if this is a poor joke. You want to write to him, ask him what this is all about, but your tears blur your vision. The only thing you send is a “really?” but the message is no longer read. It remains on one gray check mark.
Two days go by and you still think it was all a bad joke, but every time you read his message, you feel like throwing up. Has he really dumped the whole relationship? By a shitty text message? You open your Instagram account and enter his name almost as if on autopilot.
Another slap in the face as your tears run down your cheeks again. His bio no longer says “Best setter and proud boyfriend” but simply “Setter MSBY Black Jackal”. All the pictures he had with you on his account have been deleted. Instead, you can only see advertising photos or private photos of him. The last eight pictures are of him, Hinata and Bokuto dancing and having fun with fans in different bars. Atsumu grins at the camera as if he doesn’t care about you at all. As if your relationship meant nothing to him.
You text him some more times, leave him voicemails because he never answers your calls. But after a few days, you let it go. It only frustrates you even more to see how little this relationship actually meant to him. For days, you cry yourself to sleep, what doesn’t go unnoticed by Osamu. After all, he sees you three times a week when you help him out in his store. When you tell him what has happened, he is also speechless, because Atsumu has really pissed him off with all his raving about you. So why would he break-up with you out of the blue? Osamu can’t see you as devastated as a heap of misery. So he also tries to find out the reason for the break-up between you and his silly brother. But when he calls him, Atsumu only faces him coldly on the phone. “Did she tell you to ask me? Leave it okay? I think I just realized that I don’t want a relationship.”
Two months go by and somehow you still can’t believe that your relationship just fell apart. Osamu tries to distract you somehow, but it doesn’t help because he reminds you too much of your idiot ex-boyfriend.
Nevertheless, you are grateful to Osamu for swapping your shift with his coworker’s shift so that you can open the store with him in the morning. That way, you avoid running into Atsumu, who is more likely to be in the restaurant in the evening as soon as he returns from his stay abroad. You’re not ready to face him at the moment.
Just as you’re about to finish work, you remember that you wanted to show Osamu a video on your phone. “Look, the new trailer for the second season of this soccer series is out. Shall we watch the first episode together on Saturday after work?” you ask Osamu as he approaches you and looks over your shoulder. He rests his hand on the counter next to you, his chest almost touching your back, but he keeps his distance from you respectfully. You are both focused on the trailer, not hearing the doorbell from the store.
Atsumu is tired. The flight was delayed, and he hasn’t been able to sleep properly for weeks. How could he sleep well with all the partying and Hinata as his roommate, who spent the night in the hotel calling his friends from Karasuno. At least that’s what he tells himself… that this is the reason for his sleepless nights. But this thought vanishes when he steps into his brother’s store hungry, actually only wanting to eat a few onigiris and then go home. Into his apartment. His empty, dreary apartment. But as he walks through the door of the store, it feels as if someone has hit his chest with full force, knocking the air out of him.
He sees Osamu leaning towards you with a sense of familiarity. What’s going on there? And why does it bother him so much that you giggle and look at Osamu, who returns your gaze with a nod and a smile before turning to the door? His brother winces when he sees Atsumu. As you turn around as well, your smile disappears.
You look at Atsumu as if you’ve just seen a corpse, before packing your bag and saying goodbye to Osamu with a “See you tomorrow.”, only to walk past Atsumu with quick steps. You don’t even give him a glance, knowing that if you locked eyes with him, your tears would run. You would want to ask him questions upon questions. Why did you break up with me? Why am I not enough for you? Why did you lie to me for so long? Why...
As you walk through the door, you accidentally bump into him. This nudge, which was actually rather gentle, felt so painful. Why does it bother Atsumu to see you standing so close to his brother? Why does it hurt him that you stared at him with those empty eyes, as if he were a stranger? No. Worse, as if he were someone who had hurt you. Why does he have the feeling that he couldn’t make a sound if he opened his mouth now? The answer is simple, and even Atsumu seems to understand it by now as he looks from the now closed door over to Osamu, who stares at him with an indifferent expression crossing his arms in front of his chest. “So this is what someone who has realized that he doesn’t want a relationship looks like? Ya look like shit.”
Oh, how Atsumu would love to punch Osamu in the face. “Why are ya touchin’ my girl?” is bitter on his tongue, but he has no right to say it out loud. After all, he was the one who turned you down. The blonde Miya suddenly realizes how incredibly stupid his action was.
Back then, Atsumu had not expected to be traveling abroad so often. At first, it was only temporary stays. Nothing that would damage a relationship.
But the last few times in particular, he was sometimes away for several months. You kept telling him on the phone that everything was okay, but every time he called Osamu, he said that your eyes were sometimes red when you came to work and that you looked tired and sad.
Atsumu knew he was the reason. That you’d probably be better off without him. After all, you’re a great woman, someone who would find a new partner quickly.
You didn’t deserve to be sad all the time when he was gone. You should be happy. After all, a smile suits you so much better than a sad expression.
Atsumu would concentrate on his career. It would be difficult for him at first, but he would manage without you. He had to… for your sake.
So his mind was made up when he read your unanswered, concerned messages. If he texts you now to say that it’s over, being an ass to you, you’ll be able to forget him quickly… That was what he thought. 
But it wasn’t that easy. Your puzzled messages, your crying voice on his voicemail, broke his heart. Yet he tried to cover it all up with parties and his dear fans. He convinced himself that he was fine. Only to arrive home, see you and realize what an idiot he was, how much he missed you.
And now it’s Atsumu who reaches for his phone and texts you message after message.
Atsumu 8:02 PM: Hey babe, no.. hey Y/n. I know I have no right to text you. But please… let’s talk. I fucked up. Damn, I fucked up so hard that I don’t even know how to start… shit…
Atsumu 8:12 PM: Please… please answer your phone, babe…
Atsumu 8:44 PM: I know I’ve fucked up. I know I hurt and disappointed you. Fuck, I know I was an ass. Yk, I thought I was doing the right thing. 
Atsumu 9:34 PM: Fuck… please answer me… I still… damnit. 
That was the last message you received from Atsumu before you put your phone away and tried to forget him. Why is he doing this to you? Why is he stirring up your feelings again?
But Atsumu doesn’t think about stopping now. He runs to your house, to the apartment building and rings your doorbell. Once, twice, he rings so often that you can’t ignore it. You are about to tell him to leave through the loudspeaker system, but he interrupts you.
“Fuck baby, please open the door. I’m… I still love ya, okay? I always loved ya. I - shit, can ya even hear me? Fuck…” he curses agitatedly and presses the bell next to your nameplate again several times.
But instead of letting him in, you go down to the entrance of the apartment building and open the door with an expression on your face that Atsumu has never seen before. What is it? Anger, sadness, despair? Everything somehow.
“Say... are you kidding me? Do you think that’s funny?” you ask him, bewildered, still standing in the open doorway. Of course, you wouldn’t just believe him. Atsumu could have guessed. Your reaction was completely understandable. But he has to do something to show you that he’s serious.
“No, no, I don’t. I’m dead serious. Please let me explain,” he says, and starts to tell you that he thought a break-up would be best for you because he’s not good enough for you. Since you were obviously so sad about him leaving so often and he didn’t want to be the reason. He tells you that he thought he could get over you, but that he had to realize that you are the most important thing to him. Something… someone he doesn’t want to lose. With shaky hands and a still agitated voice, Atsumu takes out his phone.
“I wanted ya to hate me so that it would be easier for ya. But believe me, I... I couldn’t forget ya. Look, you’re still my wallpaper. All the photos of the two of us are still on my phone, all the memories-“ he is about to unlock his screen when his phone falls out of his hand and drops to the floor. Atsumu seems to be completely overwhelmed right now, as if he doesn’t know what to do. Should he bend down, pick up the phone, should he keep talking to you or hug you? He doesn’t know.
”Baby, please, please, I’ll do anything. Please gimme a chance. I’ll talk to my agent about not takin’ so many jobs abroad. I will be with ya more often. Always write to ya and call ya in the evening when I’m not at home. Let’s look for an apartment so we can move in together. Please, please, I would do anything. Please believe me that I love ya. Please..." he begs in a voice that becomes more and more brittle with every word. His eyes are full of emotion and his hands, which have unconsciously reached for yours, are trembling terribly.
“Two months... two months you ignored me, treated me like a piece of trash.” You say in a low voice as you search for eye contact. Atsumu has never felt so scared. Only now does he realize that the love of his life is standing in front of him, and that this might be the last time he’ll see her again, the last time he’ll touch her skin. But then again… Atsumu was an ass, so why should you forgive him? No, he can’t think like that. After all, you loved him. And if you love him as much as he loves you, then maybe there’s still hope.
“I know, and I know I can never make it up to ya. I know it’s not done with an ‘I’m sorry’. I’m the dumbest, most idiotic ex-boyfriend you’ve ever had. But... I’m stubborn too. And if that means chasin’ after ya for 10 years, drivin’ to yer apartment every day to ring the doorbell and tell ya I still love ya, wishin’ ya a good night every day, nice dreams and telling ya how important you are to me... I’ll do it. Every damn day, if it means there’s still a little hope for us.” He answers you hoarsely, keeping eye contact, hoping that you see how honest his words are.
You sigh, bend down, and pick up his phone before handing it to him. Atsumu doesn’t know what to do with all this. His face grimaces as if he’s expecting the worst. “Then... you shouldn’t lose your phone... if you want to write to me every day,” you answer him, a weak smile on your lips. Atsumu’s sorrowful expression suddenly changes and you see him looking at you with hope.
“Does that mean ya...” the blonde Miya can no longer contain his emotions as he leaps forward and pulls you into his arms. His embrace is so tight that you can barely breathe, as if he’s afraid you’ll slip out of his hands. Firm, but quivering. His whole body is shaking and you’re sure you’ve just felt something wet on your skin. Tears? Is Atsumu crying? “I promise to be a pain in yer ass every day. To text ya, to call ya, to be there for ya. Even in yer sleep. Okay? I love ya... I love ya so much...”

tw: abuse, anger issues, mention of blood
You’ve been with Iwaizumi since your school days. Back then, as a little flirt at school, Oikawa and Matsukawa mainly teased Iwaizumi for having a crush on you.
But in the end, many were jealous of the perfect couple who waltzed together on the dance floor at the prom with loving looks on their faces.
You were inseparable. Even Iwaizumi’s stay in America for his university didn’t affect your relationship. So it was no wonder that you got married after his return and were the perfect happy couple.
At least for the first few years.
The stress of being a coach for the Japanese national team is weighing on Iwaizumi’s mind. He normally handles stressful situations well, but he is under pressure.
If the team fails to perform in the next few games, he will lose many sponsors and possibly even his job.
Iwaizumi is constantly on edge and you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around him so you don’t provoke him.
More often, he has sudden temper tantrums, shouting at you about things that aren’t worth mentioning. “Damn it, I told you I need this one shirt for today. Why isn’t it clean?”
And once, when you stumbled with your words and asked him whether it might not be better to take a break as a coach, he was so angry that he almost hit you. But he managed to hold back and just sighed before going out for a beer in a nearby bar.
You don’t want to admit it to yourself, but right now, you’re really scared of your own husband.
Today was another training match between the Japanese national team and the Indonesian team. The team’s performance was better, but nowhere near good enough to shine. You watched the game on TV and run through your imaginary list in your head already, of potential trigger points for Iwaizumi. You don’t want him to get upset. The laundry is done; the house is clean; the food is also ready and in the fridge. Did you take out the trash? You chew nervously on your lower lip as you walk to the kitchen and let out a relieved sigh. That’s done too.
You are just closing the lid of the garbage can when you hear the key in the lock of your front door and Iwaizumi comes home with a surprisingly normal, “I’m home, my love, smells good in here”. Your shoulders relax immediately, a smile is back on your lips as you walk cheerfully into the hallway to greet Iwaizumi.
“Hello darling! How was your day?” Iwaizumi hugs you and leans down so you can kiss his cheek. “Let me eat something first. My day has been really exhausting,” he sighs, watching you nod and turn around to warm up the food for him. Your husband hangs up his jacket, puts down his bag and is about to turn around to follow you when he stumbles against a nearby vase that you had placed as a decoration for the fall changeover. The vase swings, loses its balance and falls to the floor in pieces.
“Shit!” You hear Iwaizumi curse and immediately run to him, anxiously hoping that nothing has happened to him. But luckily, he is unharmed. “Wait, I’ll clean up the broken pieces, you eat-“ you’re about to say, but Iwaizumi interrupts you loudly. “Always this stupid bullshit you put up. Shit, I could have hurt myself. If I miss now, that’s it for my career!” he shouts and stomps past you. You turn around hastily and apologize. “That wasn’t my intention, really,” you say, before realizing that it was a mistake to talk back. Iwaizumi turns around, his eyes ferocious and angry like a wild animal as he takes a step towards you. Your heart is beating restlessly and you are suddenly afraid.
“Not your intention? Admit it, you’d be happy if I got rid of the job!” he shouts, noticing how you start to tremble and shake your head. But Iwaizumi doesn’t seem to be in his right mind as he takes another step towards you. “Go clean up the mess! Make yourself useful!” he says through gritted teeth as he looks at your anxious and puzzled face. You know you should move, but your body doesn’t seem to listen, too scared to move a finger. And then it happens.
Iwaizumi grabs you by the hair and pulls you towards him. You cry out, weeping bitterly as you hear his voice again. “Are you deaf?! Get going!” he shouts, before pushing you away with more force than necessary. You lose your balance, stumble over your own feet as you fall and hit your head on the edge of the stairs in the hallway next to the broken vase. Your head hurts terribly, something warm flows down your face, sticking to your hair and making your vision suddenly completely different. It gets smaller and smaller before everything goes black in front of your eyes and the sounds around you stop completely.
Iwaizumi is abruptly perfectly sober and only now understands what has just happened. What he has just done to you, the woman he loves more than anything.
His eyes are big as he stares at his hands, which start to tremble in front of him.
Panic spreads through him as he looks at you. At your motionless body, at all the blood under your head.
He doesn’t know how he did it. His memories are hazy, but he can still remember trying to wake you up, in vain.
He had taken off his shirt, pressed it on your head injury to stop the bleeding and somehow managed to call an ambulance. Iwaizumi can’t remember anything else, just the one question from the paramedic who put you on the ambulance stretcher and took you to the hospital. Since Iwaizumi was your husband, he was allowed to drive with you.
“How did this happen?” the paramedic asked, as Iwaizumi answered quietly, “I don’t know... I really don’t know.”
It’s now been some hours after the accident and your head had been stitched up. Thank God it wasn’t as bad as it looked at first.
You’re still in the recovery room, Iwaizumi next to your bed on a chair, his hands folded in his lap as he hangs his head in bewilderment, looking at his wedding ring shining on his ring finger.
What happened? What has become of him? He still can’t believe what he has done.
He looks at his hands again, opens them, starts to tremble, clenches them into fists and realises how he lets out a frustrated sigh, which he had been holding back, as warm tears roll down his cheeks, soaking the fabric of his trousers.
In his mind, there’s only your shaking body, that frightened look, your screaming, and then this unbearable silence.
When you open your eyes, your head throbs a little and you have to squint through the bright, clinical light. “Where... where am I?” you say quietly, looking around the room and noticing that you’re lying in a hospital room. Next to your bed is none other than Iwaizumi. But he looks different. Broken… He shrinks at your words and looks up at you. You see his red eyes and how he hesitates whether it’s okay to take your hand in his. Iwaizumi gets up from his chair, wants to close the distance to your bed but his legs collapse and he falls to his knees when he suddenly starts to... cry? 
“Haji- me...” you say, still feeling exhausted. “I’m... god I...” Iwaizumi doesn’t know what to say, doesn’t know how to look you in the eye. He takes a deep breath, regains his courage before peering at you. Carefully, he grasps your hand, checking if you are afraid, but you don’t seem to pull it away. Maybe because you’re still too tired. Awkwardly, he strokes the back of your hand before resting his forehead on it and closing his eyes briefly.
“I’m a terrible husband. I’ve done everything I shouldn’t have done. Instead of carrying you on my hands, bringing a smile to your face and protecting you from everything that would harm you, I’ve done the exact opposite. Instead of being happy to see me, you’re just scared of me, aren’t you?” he says in a shaky voice and looks up at you again. You are calm. Just stare at him with a hurt look.
“I.... I can understand if you want a divorce. If you don’t want to be with a monster like me anymore. I really can’t even blame you. But... please let me tell you one thing. When I saw you lying on the floor like that, the world collapsed inside me. I was afraid of losing the most important thing in my life. And the most important thing is not my job, no, it’s you. And I’m ashamed that I’ve forgotten that. I am disgusted with myself and I know that is no excuse. What I have done is unforgivable. But please... if there is still a bit of hope, then I will try to do everything I can to be the man you fell in love with again. I want to be your Haji-bear again. Your place of peace, and your favorite person. I will go to anger issues therapy, behavioral therapy. If it’s better for our relationship, I’ll step down as a coach and see if I can find a job as a volleyball coach at a school. No matter what, I would do anything.” Your hand becomes wet as his tears land on it. His words move something inside you. You want to believe him, you don’t want the relationship to end either, but everything that has happened so far will not pass by without damage.
“I need time, Hajime... If you really mean it, please grant me the time...” you answer him and notice how your words seem to tear him apart. But at the same time he seems to want to make the best of the situation. He lets go of your hand and stands up just to sit back down on the chair next to your bed, looking at you determinedly, his eyes still red and swollen. “As much time as you need. If it means we still have a chance...”
A few months pass. Iwaizumi has passed on the house to you and moved into his parents’ house to give you the space you need. He goes to therapy three times a week and tells you about his progress. He is still coaching the national team, but his assistant coach is taking a lot of the work off his hands and the volleyball team seems to be playing better again.
Just like when you were at school, you’ll find a letter in your letterbox once a week. Back then, Iwaizumi always told you a bit about his week and wrote it down because, funnily enough, he was too shy to talk to you in person. Only that in his current letters he writes that he misses you, but hopes that you are doing well at the moment.
He meets you in public places, goes out with you, so that you gradually feel more comfortable with him again, that you can see his progress in therapy and don’t just think it’s empty words.
Six months have passed since the incident. You are standing in the bedroom, changing the sheets, when Iwaizumi comes through the front door of the house. “My love, I’m home,” you hear Iwaizumi’s calm voice. Coming home from his therapy session, he hangs up his jacket in the hallway as your voice lets him know where you are. 
Iwaizumi puts the flowers he bought for you on the kitchen table before he sneaks into the bedroom and sees you trying to unfold the sheets to put them on the blankets. With silent steps, he reaches around your waist to throw you onto the bed with him, wrapped in the covers that were in your hands earlier. Screaming, you laugh in unison with his chuckle as you look into each other’s eyes. “Hajime! Don’t scare me like that.” you laugh softly, while his hand gently tucks your hair behind your ear. Iwaizumi looks at your forehead, at the small scar that is left from your injury, before leaning forward and giving you a kiss on that spot.
“I’m sorry, but that was just so tempting,” he says, closing his eyes as he pulls you closer and just relaxes in bed with you. He strokes your back and kisses your forehead once more. “Hajime... what’s going on? Why are you so clingy suddenly?” you laugh, but Iwaizumi doesn’t join in the laughter, instead answering you seriously.
“Today, six months ago, I almost lost you. I’m just grateful that nothing happened to you. Thankful that you gave me another chance, even though I showed my worst side.” You can’t think of the right words to answer him, so you just smile, snuggle closer to him, and close your eyes. Safe in his arms, with his pulsating heart at your ear, you fall asleep.

tw: mention of abortion, mention of drugs/pills (without consent) 
Suna and you were just friends for a long time. Even if the others saw you more like a couple.
You were the only one Suna didn’t mind when you sat next to him and pulled out one of his earphones to listen to music with him.
You always had the same route to school and if one of you came to school alone, you knew immediately that the other one must be sick. 
With graduation, you mentioned that you might want to study abroad. That time, Suna had a weird feeling in his stomach for the first time. As if he was afraid of losing you.
That was the day he realised that he felt more for you than just friendship.
The same evening, he asked you to come over and watch a movie when he yawned in a very clichéd way to put his arm over your shoulder and pull you closer to him. He didn’t know why he was so nervous, but he just was.
A number of things went through his mind. What if you don’t feel the same way about him as he does about you? Will you still want to study abroad? Would you end your friendship with him if you didn’t feel the same way?
He tried to block out the questions and then, with his usual calmness, asked you if you could imagine anything more than a friendship. Luckily for him, you said yes.
From that moment on, everything was perfect. You had created your own little world over several years. You studied, and luckily not abroad. Suna was successful in volleyball, so you were both able to buy an apartment together quickly.
Just the two of you. Your friends were there from time to time, but in the evenings you were always alone at home, arm in arm, in the quiet flat without any noise or other people to disturb you.
Until one morning where you look at the little piece of plastic in the bathroom, stunned, when the two red stripes tell you that you are pregnant.
You hadn’t spoken to Suna about having children yet, but you’ve been together for so long now and everything is going well that you assume he would be just as happy as you are.
You thought…
When Suna comes home, you’ve already prepared a little surprise. There are a pair of baby shoes on the table in the living room, the pregnancy test in front of them and a little balloon with “Best Dad” written on it. You can’t help smiling as you see Suna walk into the room when you call out “surprise”, looking a little shy in his direction. But Suna’s reaction differed from what you expected.
Almost disgusted, he looks in your direction. “This better be one of those stupid TikTok pranks, right?” he says, and your smile disappears abruptly. Your stomach turns and you feel sick. And not because of the pregnancy. You stand there irritated, only able to utter a quiet “No... it’s not a joke”, confused by his negative reaction. “No? What week are you in? Tell me you can still have an abortion...” he says, annoyed, as he walks towards the table to see if there is any information about the week of pregnancy on the pregnancy test. 
“What?” you say in bewilderment, still looking at Suna, who throws the test on the table in frustration before starting to massage his temples. “We’ll go to the gynecologist tomorrow, okay? Get rid of it. A child means responsibility. You have to look after this thing all the time, you’re no longer flexible and it’s noisy too... I just don’t want that.” 
His words feel like a thousand stabs. Never have you seen Suna act like this before. You anticipated that he might be a bit taken by surprise and perhaps not be able to deal with the situation at first, but Suna seems to have a very clear opinion on the subject. He doesn’t even seem to be willing to talk. But abort a child? Let Suna’s and your baby die just like that? You can’t do that. You don’t want that. 
The two of argue. Suna’s look gets progressively angrier. Yours sadder until he decides to leave the house with a “Do what you want, maybe it’ll die anyway”. Now you’re home alone with his painful words. You stand rooted to the spot in the room for several more minutes until the strength in your legs finally gives way and you slump to the floor, crying bitterly. The night, you spend alone in your bed, without Suna. He doesn’t answer his phone and doesn’t reply to your messages. You don’t hear from him the next day either, and he hasn’t come home. Thank God you get a message from Osamu, who texts you that Suna is with him and that you have nothing to worry about. But how are you supposed to stay at home without worrying if your boyfriend doesn’t get in touch with you and you’ve been arguing for days? You are scared. Afraid for the baby, afraid for the relationship and everything you two have built up.
Another day passes. You lie in bed, tired and lacking in energy. Nevertheless, you pull yourself together and get up, go to the bathroom to get ready for the day and don’t notice when the front door opens and Suna walks in. “Baby doll, I’m at home... and... I’m sorry...” you hear Suna’s voice and walk out of the bathroom. Even though you had a fight, you are still happy to see the man you love so much again. With a somewhat sad smile, he stands there, a bouquet of flowers in his hand as he approaches you.
“I’m really sorry. I behaved like an ass. You took me by surprise with the news and somehow... I don’t know. What do you say you sit down now? I’ll make us a drink and we can talk about all this. About the baby, and what happens next?” You can hardly believe his words. What has Osamu done in the last few days to make Suna suddenly do a full turnaround and be willing to talk to you openly, without shouting about becoming a parent? You make a mental note to thank Osamu later, before nodding with a smile and sitting down on the sofa in the living room.
But what you don’t know is that Suna went to a friend, a doctor, who gave him two pills before he came home. Pills for an induction of abortion. You have to take one now and the other two to three days later.
Suna knows that you wouldn’t take these pills voluntarily.
So he makes sure that you are indeed sitting in the living room before he takes out a small bag containing a pill, puts it in the grinder and turns it into a fine powder before mixing it into your iced tea.
He takes a deep breath, putting his smile back on as he walks towards you in the living room, where you are already waiting for him with happy eyes.
Without saying much, he hands you the glass, sits down next to you and watches you.
“I know it’s all so sudden and I could have said it differently. I really took you completely by surprise with the news,” you say quietly, looking at the iced tea in your hand, unaware that an abortion pill is floating there.
Suna listens attentively as you talk about how you first had to understand what a pregnancy means, but that your overwhelm quickly turned into joy because you are looking forward to holding a mini version of the two of you in your arms in less than 9 months. You talk about all the beautiful things that are going through your head, while Suna continues to listen to you, his eyes constantly focus on the tea in your hands and you.
He keeps looking at you as you raise the glass and press it to your lips, ready to drink the poison cocktail, when he realizes what he was doing. What he’s trying to do here.
Panic strikes him. His green eyes widen as he literally knocks the cup out of your hand. It falls to the floor with a loud thud. “Don’t drink that!” he says in an unsteady voice and looks at you in horror.
But you don’t understand anything, only shake your head.
“I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I... I think I just made the worst mistake of my life,” Suna says, looking back from you to the broken cup. You don’t understand what’s going on and tilt your head, asking him if everything is all right. But when Suna continues talking and tells you what was in your tea, your world collapses. You are shocked that your own boyfriend wanted to do this to you. “I was overwhelmed. I... I know that’s no excuse. But when I heard you talking, I realized that -“ Suna wanted to continue, but your voice cut him off, your words silenced him.
“Let’s break up,” you say, and unlike before, unlike when you argued a week ago, your voice is determined now, your eyes full of pain and betrayal. Those green eyes that used to mesmerize you are now looking at you desperately. “What?” Suna whispers softly, followed by a “No, wait”. But you interrupt him again.
“You just wanted to give me some drugs without my consent so I’d lose the baby?! No, Rintarou… I’m breaking up with you. That... no, I can’t do that.” Abruptly, you get up from the sofa, ignoring the hand that tries to grab you before quickly slipping into a jacket and a pair of shoes just to leave the apartment. Suna wants to run after you, but his legs won’t move. His mind and heart are screaming to run after you, to stop you and tell you he’s sorry, but his body just won’t obey him. When he finally manages to get up, you’re already gone.
Still wearing his slippers and without putting on a jacket, he eventually runs out to check out all the places you love, all your friends, to see if he can find you somewhere. But no matter where he looks, he can’t find you. You don’t reply to messages or phone calls. The mechanical voice of your voice mail greets him directly. “Shit, shit, shit!” he yells as he stands in the park where you two had your first official date. The surrounding people look at him. Some with an irritated look, some as if they were pitying him.
Without really knowing where to go, your legs automatically led you to the bus that goes to Kita’s home.
Kita was one of your best friends back then. And you knew that if you went to Kita and told him not to tell Suna that you were there, he wouldn’t tell his friend either. And that’s exactly what Kita did.
You were in Kita’s guest room when you heard Suna’s voice in the hallway.
He sounded shattered, broken, as he begged Kita to tell him where you were.
This went on for several weeks, until one evening Suna rang the doorbell again, trying to talk to Kita in a voice you had never heard before.
His voice was so thin, so fragile, as if a heap of misery was speaking out of him.
Kita tells him once again that he doesn’t know where you are when you hesitantly open the door, thinking about going downstairs and listening to what Suna has to say. But for now, you just listen to the conversation.
“Please, Shinsuke, I know you know her location. Please, just give her this. Please...” Kita sighs, followed by a soft “ok...” before the front door closes. Your best friend’s footsteps creak beneath the floor as he walks up the stairs, looks at you a little twisted and hands you a large package.
You know that you demand a lot from Kita. It’s not easy for him to lie to his friend either. Eventually you have to talk to Suna.
Alone in your guest room, you spend almost half an hour looking at the unopened package at the other end of the bed until you finally decide to open it. When you see what’s inside, surprise catches you. Multiple emotions flow through your body without you even noticing how your eyes suddenly turn glassy. Small letters and several items are in the box. You take out the letter that is on top of all the other items.
“My love, I don’t even know where to start. I can’t apologize for what I did. Nevertheless, I want to tell you that I’m sorry. I was confused and scared. Our relationship has always been perfect so far and I thought it was great that it was just the two of us and that no one else disturbed our privacy. I was afraid that when we had a child, we would argue, have no more time for each other, and grow apart. I was selfish and didn’t think about how you would feel. I wasn’t thinking about our baby. The thought that we were both going to be parents hadn’t crossed my mind at all. But every time I walked past those little shoes you had placed in the living room, I couldn’t think of anything else but seeing our child standing in them. How it tries to move around in it, sometimes falls down because it loses its balance and seeks shelter with its beloved mom. I regret every second of what I’ve done, every word I’ve said. Hurting you was the last thing I wanted to do, and yet I did it. I am sorry. I am so terribly sorry.
I did some research. Did you know that it is currently very difficult to find midwives? You should probably start looking very early on. My team colleague gave me the number of the midwife he and his wife had at the birth of their two children. I also have three other numbers. You might want to give them a call. There are also birth preparation classes in our town. I have also put a brochure in the package for you. You don’t necessarily have to go there with your partner. With me… So... if you want, you could also go there with Kita, even if I would be happy if we both did it together. But I can understand if you don’t want to.
Are you eating enough? You should pay particular attention to your diet during pregnancy. A lot of women suffer from a vitamin deficiency during pregnancy. But you have probably already discussed this with your gynecologist. Anyway, I’ve written down a few recipes for you that are rich in vitamins. I admit that Osamu helped me a little with this. Oh, and on the back are some things you shouldn’t eat during pregnancy. Raw eggs and products containing them such as ice cream, mayonnaise and so on... you should not eat them, because the risk of salmonella infection is high. Peanuts can contain aflatoxins, which can also harm the fetus... but as I said, I’ve put together a list for you. In case you didn’t already know all this already. There are a few other things in the box. Maybe you’d like to take a look.
I hope you are doing well. I hope the baby is doing well too. Have you thought of a name yet? Do you know whether it will be a boy or a girl? I’m sure there’s already a little bump on your belly. I... would really like to be with you right now. Would love to hold you in my arms and stroke your tummy. I know I made a mistake that can never be fixed. But if you’re willing, if that’s what you want, I’d really like to be by your side again. And if not as your boyfriend, then as the father of our baby. I would like to do couples’ therapy with you so that we can find our way back to each other… So that you can trust me again. Because in all of this, I was the problem and never you. But only if you want it too, of course. I know it may be hard to believe, but I love you. So much that a life without you scares me. I am sorry…”
You’re crying bitterly by now as your tears blur the ink on the letter before you put it aside and look in the box. Next to a small onesie for babies, there is a note with the telephone numbers of midwives, a small book with recipes, the brochure he had mentioned and another box containing photos and memories. Pictures that Suna had always secretly taken of you at times when he thought you looked extra pretty. You always found the photos embarrassing, but for him they were beautiful to look at. Because they were moments when you were just being you, not smiling for the camera or doing anything else to disguise yourself.
There was also a necklace with shells on it in the box. You made it for Suna when you were on vacation in Croatia. It turned out incredibly ugly, yet Suna wore it proudly during the whole vacation. You’re touched that he still has this ugly necklace. Little notes that you wrote to each other at school are also in there. So many more memories from the past. Where had Suna hidden this little box in your apartment so that you never noticed it?
You hastily get up, open the door and run down to the hallway as Kita comes out of the living room and looks at you questioningly. “Is everything all right? Do you need to see a doctor?” He asks concerned, but you just shake your head, wanting nothing more than to see Suna, talk to him again. He asks you if you are absolutely sure, but your determined nod is enough for an answer. So he grabs his jacket and car keys, driving you straight to your ex boyfriend, to your apartment. He doesn’t want you to take the bus in your current state.
Suna is sitting in the living room. In front of him on the coffee table are various reports on pregnancy, parenting and more. His head is leaning on his hands as he takes a deep breath. Have you opened his package yet? He wonders, unable to think clearly, when he hears the key in the door lock and runs into the hallway as if stung by a tarantula. His eyes are wide as he looks at you, standing rooted to the spot in the doorway, not knowing how to react.
“Shinsuke... Drove me here...” you say. “I opened your package.” You continue, watching Suna swallow hard, still not moving an inch from the doorframe. “How are you, the baby?” he asks quietly, almost absent-mindedly, as if he can’t believe you’re really standing in front of him. “Good... can... can we talk?” you ask and watch him nod, having trouble sorting out his feelings. You take a step towards him, clearly seeing the dark circles, the red eyes, the slightly thinner face, as if he has lost weight. And on closer look, you can see his whole body trembling.
“Is everything you wrote in your letter true?” you ask him, trying to keep your voice as calm as possible, even though you’re at your wits’ end. “Yes, yes all of it. I’m sorry for everything... I want nothing more than to see you happy. To see our baby happy. And if you want another partner by your side to be happy, if you don’t want me in your life, then I will accept that.” Suna whispers, knowing that if he were to speak even a little louder, his voice would fail and he would cry. You take another step towards him. “What if I want you? Want to give it another try?” You have barely spoken your sentence before you hear a bitter shuffle from Suna, which he seems to have been suppressing the whole time. His shaky hands carefully reach for your face before he presses his forehead against yours and says softly, “I would wish for nothing more than that.”
Although you hesitate for a second, you finally put your hands around his back and stand with him in the doorway for a while. Neither of you says a word. Both of you let your tears run until Suna releases you at some point and gives you a kiss on the forehead. “You shouldn’t stand for so long. You’d better get some rest,” he says in a somewhat steady voice before helping you out of your jacket and leading you into the bedroom, where he pushes the sheets aside so you can lie down. 
“Rin, but I’m not tired at all...” you say, even though you are exhausted, but Suna lies down right next to you, pulling you close while his free hand moves to your stomach. “I know... But... let’s just lie here like this for a moment, regain our strength before we talk... Talk about everything, our future, how I can make it up to you, our little baby… Agree, baby doll?” He whispers tiredly. Yet you also notice how all the crying is slowly making you a little tired. “Agree, Rin.” you smile weakly, snuggling closer to him as you both fall asleep arm in arm, his hand protectively on your baby bump, your hand on his.

Author note: I honestly don't know what this is but oh well
Jude Bellingham Masterlist right here
Enjoy
--
Your relationship with Jude ended abruptly. You don’t know how it happened so fast. One minute you were talking, the next you were packing your bags with tears in your eyes.
That was 3 weeks ago and you still haven’t recovered from it. Jude clouded your memory like a plague. You been with him for so long before it all ended he just became apart of you. You loved him so much but unfortunately you had to let him go.
--
You sat in your apartment, TV on, but you weren’t even paying attention to it. You were stuck in your thoughts until your phone rung.
It was a call from your dad. You haven’t talked to him in years. The last time you did he gaslighted you and then abandoned you. What did he want after these many years?
“Hello?”
Your dad’s booming voice came on the other end of the phone making you cringe. He began to explain how he had found someone and how he was about to marry her after getting her pregnant. You pity the unknown woman and child who has to suffer his mental abuse.
“Why are you calling and telling me this?” you asked stopping his rambling. Your dad paused for a second before speaking.
“out of all people I thought you would be the happiest for me.”
You scoffed, laughing at his stupidity. “happy for you? After you emotionally abused me, treated me and my mom like shit and left us when we finally stood up for ourselves? I’m not going to be fucking happy for you. I feel pity for that child who has to grow up with you.”
A brief silence went by before your dad’s voice echoed through the phone. Anger laced in his voice as he spoke.
Lots of disgusting words flowed from his mouth. “I hate you” “you were a mistake I wish you were never born. “ “I hope you die.”
You wish you didn’t take any of it to heart, but you did. You always do.
After a bit you ended the call, no longer wanting to hear his insults thrown daggers at you.
You threw your phone at the end of the couch and groaned. You ran your hands down your face.
You hated him so bad it made you feel physically ill.
You didn’t notice you were crying when you pulled your hand away from your face but you were. You guess all the old memories flooded your brain and made you remember how horrible of a person he truly was.
--
You don’t know how you made it to Jude’s doorstep. Jude always knew how bad your relationship with your dad was and he was always there for you when you were dating.
You knocked on the door softly. The tears that were on your face were wiped away as you waited for the door to open.
The door swung open revealing Jude. He looked exhausted just like you were. He was taking the breakup hard.
“y/n, why are you hear? Did you forget something?” Jude eyebrows knitted until he was the tears streaming down your face. “love, what happened?”
He pulled you into the house and looked at you. His expression was dripping concern. He hates seeing you cry.
“sweetheart tell me what happened.”
You told Jude everything through your tears. Jude listened, wiping every year that fell from your eyes. He felt so much hatred for your dad for making you cry. He hated seeing you like this.
When you finished telling him everything, Jude pulled you into his arms and let you cry into his chest as he whispered how you didn’t deserve any of that.
When you finally calmed down you pulled away from Jude. “I’m sorry.” You pulled all the way from Jude and sat beside him on the couch.
“You don’t need to be apologizing. I told you I will always be here when you needed me remember?”
You remembered the night you and Jude broke up with each other. Tears in your eyes as you had your bags packed and ready to go. Before you could walk out of Jude’s place, he stopped you.
“y/n I know we’re not together, but just know I’m always going to be here for you ok?”
You avoided his eyes and nod. You knew if you looked at him you’d start crying. “I know Jude.”
“I remember.” You sigh. “it just hurts so bad.”
“lets stop thinking about him.” Jude got up from the couch making you look up at him.
“he doesn’t deserve your energy. Let’s do something else. Let’s watch a movie or something. We can watch princess diaries. I promise I won’t cringe.”
You laughed for the first time that night. It made Jude smile at his accomplishment.
Jude popped some popcorn and put on the movie for you both to watch. You leaned your head up against his shoulder and rested it there while your eyes stayed on the TV.
You were so close to Jude. Even though it was something you experienced so often before, it felt odd knowing you both weren’t together anymore.
You pulled away from Jude.
“what’s wrong?” he asked you, his whole body shifting to you.
“Jude, do you really want to be broken up?”
Jude exhaled. You watched as he turned away from you, paused briefly then shaking his head.
“no. To be honest I’ve been taking these past few weeks without you horribly.”
He took your hands in his. Your skin tingled at the contact.
“I don’t want to be apart from you. You’re the best part of my life. Our argument was stupid and it shouldn’t have broken us up.”
“you wanna know something?” you whisper to Jude. His eyebrows lifted so you continued. “I don’t even remember what the argument was about.”
Jude smiled at you. “don’t worry about it.” Jude brought his face close to yours. “Let’s start off on a clean slate. How does that sound?”
You looked up into his brown eyes. “I like the sound of that.”
Jude closed the gap between the two of you, kissing you for the first time in what felt like forever.

Summary:
Frustration chewed on their bones.
Where are you?
Where did he take you?
Why aren’t you here?
Why did it say you were here?
Tumblr media
They assumed you would be there inside the cabin inside the cabin. Near the edge of the Alaskan woods.  Hoping to find you there. Anxiety gnawing at their insides. The possibility of not finding you there. Lingering at the back of their minds. Lurking there like a wolf stalking them from the shadows of the trees. What if they didn’t find you there?
God, forbid they didn’t find you there. The fear of not finding you inside the cabin, the thought of something or someone else being where you were instead. What would they leave behind inside the dark room if you were not there?
“We need to prepared for the worst possible outcome. We don’t know what we’ll find inside that cabin. And it would be unfair for you to have false hope.” Laswell told the four of them. As the plane landed on the large, open snow.
As the plane touched down. They couldn’t help but feel suspicious. It was far too easy so far, like a demon searching for a soul to taint. Hope slowly slipped from their grasp as soon as it came. Snow crunching beneath their feet, hushed whispers of a hope that you would be there. Wind howling like a wolf howling on a full moon.
Frustration chewed on their bones.
Where are you?
Where did he take you?
Why aren’t you here?
Why did it say you were here?
Photos of you alone in different places. Dangling on fishing line from the ceiling. The walls covered in photos of you with each of the task force 141 members. Along with a recording of a low, male Austrian voice. “It seems like you had taken hold over my wife. She might have told you she left me. But in my heart, I have never left her. She’ll be fine.”
Price’s heart leapt into his throat when he heard your voice in the background, “I divorced you last year. You don’t get to come into my life again just because you feel like you own me. You have no claim over this child I have inside me. Furthermore, you chose to have an extramarital affair for six years. No one forced you to.” Her voice weak from the stress, overstimulation, and possibly stress.
Soap couldn’t listen to the rest of it, walking into a different room to calm himself down before he did something he would regret later. He didn’t want to let his anger rule over him to the point of ruining the hope of ever seeing you again.
The thought of you out there alone with your ex-husband and abuser. It was more than enough to send him spiralling. He didn’t want to visualise you out there alone somewhere. Running out of time. Fast. Faster than they thought they would.
The projector inside the empty living room of you in a sunflower dress at twenty-four, long before you met them, during the time when you were still married. The day you found out about the affair and the number of time he cheated on you. The recording of the conversation you had with Soap and Ghost in the small kitchen played, “I feel like an idiot for believing she was just a friend, and it was a onetime thing.”
Ghost replied, “I'm sorry, but you can't keep blaming yourself for this. You didn't do anything wrong. He's the one who cheated on you. It's not your fault.”
Soap nodded in agreement, “He's a piece of work. I'm surprised you didn't leave him sooner.”
“He doesn’t know that I know yet.” You revealed. “I don’t know if I want to confront him first or have a back-up plan beforehand.”
Ghost was the one that suggested the cabin in Alaska to get your bearings before confronting him. “It will put enough space between him and you.”
“Are you sure?” You asked him, the sound of clinking of a fork against a plate.
“Alaska is thousands of miles away from Austria.” Soap explained the thought process of moving to Alaska.
“Then its settled. I’m moving.” You said with finality. “Thank you for making this decision easier. You are a blessing that keeps on giving.”
Soap chuckled, “Don't mention it. We’re just happy to help.”
A bittersweet recording brought a smile on Soap’s lips, his eyes welled with tears when he heard it play back in the back of his mind. The teddy bear you were going to give your first child before you miscarried the first time. A giant pink teddy bear you kept on the sofa.
The cabin starting to feel more like a tomb for a missing woman than a home. Walls closing in on them like a hug from a person that didn’t want to let them go. Gaz found the phone he got the signal from, underneath the porch. The last call from Austria.
“Could he have taken to Austria?” Gaz asked Price and Laswell. “He must have set up the photos and everything to throw us off thinking we'd stop looking for her," Gaz continued. "He's a clever bastard."
Price nodded, his face a mask of grim determination. "He's also a dangerous one. We need to move quickly. If he's taken her back to Austria, we don't have much time."
They don’t have enough time to sit there and wonder of the possible what if questions. Not anymore. The more time wasted is more time searching for you. Yet they still didn’t know how this man found you. Whoever he was. He knew you better than you knew himself.
A chilling thought. There couldn’t be any other reason why this would be anyone other than your ex-husband, Konig. A colonel from Austria you were married to for almost ten years.

i also love a little bit of addison crying on the shoulder of someone worried about you.
i love a good who did this to you moment as well. and i also live for the angst!!
tw: mentions of charlottes accident, mentions of past abusive relationship
who did this?
You couldn’t have possibly seen it coming. You thought you’d gotten away from him, but now it was evident you hadn’t.
Sam found you as you were leaving the hospital, and thank god he did.
You definitely weren’t in a good state at all, and you’d been out for a while. You’d had surgery done by Charlotte for internal bleeding and you were going to make it.
But again, you weren’t in a good state.
Addison found out almost immediately, as she was getting prepared to leave when Charlotte and Sam were rolling you inside from the entrance.
Charlotte had to tell Addison to get back because she was a conflict of interest.
You fell for Addison quickly after moving here a few years ago, and you obviously never thought your ex would find you.
You laid back in a hospital bed now, slowly coming out of consciousness.
“She’s waking up,” You recognize the voice to be from your best friend, Cooper.
“It’s a slow process, Coop,” Charlotte sighs upsettingly. “She’s been almost waking up for hours now.”
Your vision is blurry as you try to take in the bodies in the room. It only looked like there was Addison, Charlotte, Violet and Cooper in the room.
You feel wetness on your right hand, and you assume that’s where Addison is sitting. You can barely see Violet pacing back in forth in front of your hospital bed, as well as Charlotte trying to console Cooper on your left side.
“I don’t understand what happened,” You hear Coopers heart breaking, and yours breaks all over for all of them. You wish you could tell them.
“It had to have been someone from her past,” Violet says, her pointer finger and thumb digging into her eyes. She was tired.
You imagine Charlotte hollowing her cheeks in anger.
She wasn’t sure about you at first when you first moved back to LA due to you being Coopers closest friend and her being undeniably in love with him, but she came around to you eventually. And now, she was like a sister to you just like Cooper was a brother.
“We’ll find them,” Charlottes says in her southern drawl. “He or she. Whoever that may be. We’ll get her justice just like you did for me.”
You feel Addison’s grip adjust in your hand, and you know that hit a spot. Even thinking about something like that happening to you hurt her deeply.
“What do you think Addison?” Violet asks, but only receives silence. You haven’t heard Addison say a word since you had slightly woken. “Addison?”
You feel her lift her head and look at the other three people in your room before standing and exiting the room.
You see Violet exit as well behind her.
“I should,” Charlotte nods and kisses Cooper on the head before exiting as well.
“Y/n/n,” Cooper grabs your left hand. “You need to wake up soon, got it? You’re driving me insane, and you’re driving Addison insane. And.. although she won’t admit it, you’re driving Charlotte insane too. She cares about you too. We all do.”
You’re listening to what he says as you try to make out what is happening in the hall.
Addison has her hands on her hips and she’s looking up at the ceiling. Most likely to stop the tears from hitting her cheeks. She has her lips pressed together to stop any quiet cries from escaping her lips.
Charlotte says something that makes her bow her head, finally breaking and letting everyone else see the tears.
You knew Charlotte wasn’t one for PDA, so you were surprised when you made out her figure wrapping around Addison’s to comfort her.
“It’s going to be okay,” Charlotte rubs her back. “I care about her just as much. And I’m just as scared as you.”
“We’re all here for you Addison,” Violet promises.
You awake fully, your eye site still blurry, but clearing up, nonetheless.
“Guys,” Cooper widens his eyes, coming to the edge of the door, hanging onto the door frame.
Addison removes her head from Charlottes shoulder and is immediately by your side again.
“Y/n?” Her eyebrows are crunched up sadly, and you’re afraid if you speak she might start crying again. “Oh, my sweet girl.”
“We should leave them,” Violet suggests from the doorway.
Cooper and Charlotte nod, and reluctantly follow the woman out.
“I was so scared,” Addison leans her head down, kissing your scraped up knuckles. “My heart dropped when I saw you on the bed. I didn’t know what to do or say.”
“I’m sorry,” Your voice is scratchy. “It’s going to be okay.”
“It’s not, Y/n,” She shakes her head angrily. “Who did this to you?”
“My ex,” You squeeze her hand in reassurance.
“Who are they?” She asks with tears streaming freely.
“It was a man,” You cough. “He was abusive when I was with him and that’s why I moved here in the first place. To get away from him.”
Addison shakes her head, “I’m never letting you out of my sight again.”
You smile lightly at your girlfriend because you know she isn’t lying.
“Come here,” You move over in the bed, wincing slightly at the movement.
“Are you sure?” Addison asks. “I dont want to hurt you.”
“Addie, you won’t hurt me,” You laugh lightly. “I promise.”
She slides into the bed alongside you, moving so your head is on top of her chest and her arms are around you. She kisses you softly on the head.
You tilt your head up at her so she could kiss you on the lips, and she does.
“I love you Addie, thank you for taking care of me.”
“I will always take care of you,” She nods and the two of you fall asleep on the bed together. If you’re going to be uncomfortable, Addison may as well be uncomfortable with you.

For a long time, you thought you’d never get over your ex.
For a long time, you believed that you were it for each other. You’d go the whole nine yards—Kids, a quaint house in your hometown, Sunday dinners.
And for a long time after he broke up with you, you thought you’d never let yourself love again. How could you? How would you allow yourself to be set up for failure, after letting someone know every part of you?
You had been dating him since high school and had been living with him in your first apartment when he broke it off.
Sometimes, it was amazing, and you were never happier. But most days, it had been full of anger and talking him off the ledge all the time. It was makeup sex after arguments you couldn’t remember now.
So, when he did break up with you, you decided to use it as an excuse to run far, far away from your small town. And you found yourself in Hell’s Kitchen.
You land a job at a small law firm, and at first, you just work as a meek little office assistant.
Nelson, Murdock & Page grew by the day, and for a while, you felt out of place. It wasn’t that you were abused or worked to the bone, you just struggled to make friends, and you weren’t very social while getting over your ex anyways.
So, for about two months, you did your job quietly, laughing quietly at the bickering of your bosses, thanking Karen Page for her advice, enjoying coffee with Foggy Nelson, and of course…
Never muttering a word to Matt Murdock. He was just too intimidating. Besides, you still felt like your ex’s eyes were watching your every move, even thousands of miles away, even now.
Then one night, Foggy couldn’t handle it anymore. So, he approached you quietly at the end of a long workday, with a simple phrase.
“This week’s been crazy, huh? Hey, a few of us are going to the bar tonight, did you want to come?”
What were you supposed to say? ‘No, my ex who I don’t talk to wouldn’t like that?’
Please.
“Oh, Uhm.. I don’t know, who else is going?”
“It’ll be me, my wife, Marci, Karen..” He said.
“Sure, I’ll come.” You smiled, before you could stop yourself.
“Awesome! I’ll send you the address! I’m so glad you’re tagging along!” He grins. You’re thrilled too.
“Me too, it’ll be fun.” He begins to walk away but then he turns back around with a snap of his fingers.
“Oh! And Matt is going!”
Why wouldn’t he tell you that in the first place? Why was your face burning? Why was your heart racing?
“Oh, Great.” You told him, now suddenly conscious of everything about that night.
• • •
At the bar, you wound up ordering a drink before you went over to your friends—Well, Coworkers, you wouldn’t call them friends yet, thanking the woman behind the bar.
Then, you made your way over to them where Foggy was playing his wife in Pool—and losing horribly. So, you sit with Karen and Matt, where there is conveniently one seat available, right between the two.
Karen excitedly said your name as you approach adding a, “I can’t believe you came!” Which, ouch, but, fair.
“Well, Foggy was right, this week’s been awful, so I wanted to relax.” You smiled, sitting with them.
“I’m glad,” she said, before asking, “So, why’d you move to New York?” She knew you weren’t from here, so you figured the question would come up eventually.
“Just needed a change of pace from a small town, you know?”
“I do,” she nodded, “Do you like it here?”
Did you like being alone all the time, feeling like you’re always doing something wrong? Like you should run back to your hometown and beg your ex to marry you?
“Yeah, I love it. It’s so different in a way I wasn’t really prepared for, but it’s great.” You lied.
Matt’s blind. Why did it feel like he has this burning gaze into your skin?
“Did you go to college in your hometown, too?”
“Yeah,” You smile. You loved College. You were an early education major and had even gotten your masters in your small community college. You loved teaching, and if you hadn’t moved, you’d have stayed at the school that hired you after student teaching there. But, when you got to the city, you were unable to find consistent work because the demand for teachers was so high.
So here you were, working as an office assistant for a small law firm.
Karen glanced down to her glass and frowned.
“I’m going to grab another drink, do either of you want anything?”
“I’m good, Karen.”
“No, thank you.”
Silence. Sickening silence.
Then, he spoke.
“Do you know how upset I am that you got your drink already?”
What?
You furrowed your brows, confused.
“I’m sorry?”
“I wanted to buy you a drink, but you beat me to it.”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” You repeated, a light blush on your face.
“Well, I figured it might be nice to wipe the slate clean, considering you haven’t spoken more than ten words to me since you started working with us.”
That was true. There’s just something that feels so wrong about it, even though you worked with him,
“I’m sorry,” you said again, and he just laughed.
“You say that a lot.”
“I’m sor—” You caught yourself, clearing your throat. “Why do you say that?”
“Well, you speak to everyone, just not me. So, I listen and I’m pretty sure you apologize more than anything else.”
Your face was beet red.
“Okay, Okay, I get it. I don’t talk a lot, especially not to you. It’s something I’m working on, I have a whole list of things I’m working on.”
That’s true. You had an actual list of goals you have before your first year in New York is up.
“A list?”
“A list.”
“May I?” He asked, and you sighed, pulling out your phone, your list nestled deep into your notes app.
“Apologize less and talk to you is at the top.” You told him. “Then it’s get a job I love,”
“Ouch.”
“Sorry, Boss.” You took a sip of your drink, “Move into a nicer apartment, and uh..” You sighed softly. “Get over my ex.”
He tilts his head.
“Your ex?”
“The reason I moved here. He broke up with me about six months ago, but we were together for so long it feels like an impossible task.”
Matt knows the feeling.
“It’s an easy enough list. We can help you.” He says, “When did you move to New York?”
“May 1st.”
“Okay, then by May of next year, you should have everything accomplished.”
“We?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna help you.”
“Oh, so now it’s you and not all of you?”
Now it’s his turn to blush.
“You’re rather talkative now.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I like it.”
• • •
Talking to Matt is easy, you discover quickly.
It’s the apologizing that gets you.
You’re staying late at the office about a month later, while Hell’s Kitchen is amid a blistering heat wave.
You feel like you might die. You’re editing a closing argument Foggy wants to practice when Matt calls your name gently.
“Can I see you in my office for a second?” He asks. You follow him into his office, not really thinking much of it.
“What’s up?” You ask, sitting in the spare chair in his office as he closes the door behind him, going to the seat at his desk.
“Well, remember that list we talked about?”
“Yeah?”
“I haven’t heard much from you this week.”
That’s true, it’s just been sort of a hectic time with cases piling up. You can only do so much work AND talk to your favorite coworker. Yes, Matt had quickly become your favorite person at the office, even after just a month of really trying to open up to him.
He learned about your ex, your holiday traditions and that you hate peppermint.
You learned about his parents, his favorite dessert, and that he dresses up every night to go fight the criminals of New York.
Okay, you technically weren’t supposed to learn that, but you had stopped by his apartment early to drop off a file you were working on, and he had just crawled home and was still in his suit when he answered the door, forgetting completely that you didn’t know.
So now You knew how he was able to tell that you lied to Karen that night at the bar.
“I’m—” You start to apologize, but then you stop yourself. “I’m not sorry, I’ve been busy and so have you, but I do miss talking to you, though I am not sorry.” You say, and he grins.
“That’s my girl.”
Huh.
Your stomach swirls and you beam at the praise.
Wait, what?
You brush it off, before asking,
“Does Daredevil still come out to play even though it’s a hundred degrees out?”
“Will you have your window open with a few bottles of water open for me?”
“Always.”
“Then yes.”
Talking to Matt is rather easy. You have a feeling that soon the apologizing will follow.
• • •
October is the month of figuring out what you want to do with your life.
Sure, you love working in the office, but you are going crazy. You’re under stimulated and the hours are consistently long.
So, you try a lot of things.
You bake, you cook, you take exams, you work tirelessly to try and figure out where you want to work and where you’ll be happiest.
You try doing hair but find yourself uninspired.
You think you might like being a nursing assistant but turns out, you don’t like blood.
But part of you knows your heart isn’t in it, for two reasons.  
For one, you want to teach. You want to be teaching young kids’ addition and their spelling and stars. You desperately want to be a great influence in their lives.
And the second thing is..
You don’t want to leave your coworkers.
You love spending time with Karen and Foggy. For a long time, you didn’t have friends outside of your relationship, and they are the best friends you’ve ever had.
Foggy spends long coffee breaks cracking jokes with you and asking for your sandwich order, telling you that you have to stop by his brother’s deli for one of his signature subs. Then he tells you this long-winded story about how his mother wanted him to be a butcher, not a lawyer.
Karen is your favorite girl. She’s not only drop dead gorgeous and ridiculously smart, but she is also kind like no one you have ever met. She texts you when you forget to let her know you’ve gotten home safe, there is always a coffee on your desk when you get there and for your birthday, flowers are on your desk, scribbled with a cute note in her handwriting.
And then, there’s Matt.
He’s your best friend and knows you better than anyone. He loves having you right in the office where he can hear your heartbeat and smell your vanilla coconut perfume. He tells you about his dad and you tell him about your folks.
He knows your Chinese and Thai food orders like the back of his hand, always ordering you some when he gets his. You describe the movies you’re watching in detail, and he hangs on to every word. There is no one who sees you more than him, and he’s quite literally blind. When you tell him about your dream to go back into teaching, he encourages it.
“When I was a kid, I’d have benefited so much from someone like you.”
He asks you to do his makeup for his Halloween costume, no matter how badly it irritates his skin. He likes the idea of your hands so close to his face.
But you’re both critically aware of how, not only is the market flooded, but you’re dreading the day you leave your little office job.
So many people have asked if the two of you are dating. And you both always laugh, because.. because you just love each other in a way that you can’t describe. But no, you’ve never thought about dating Matt Murdock.
Until this one day.
It’s like any other day, really. You have your friends cramped in your tiny apartment and you’re just waiting for Matt’s arrival before you eat dinner for the night.
Karen, Foggy and Marci sit at your little table as you finish cooking, and Marci just glances over to you.
“You need to move to a better apartment.”
“I know, I know,” you laugh, “But she’s so cozy! I love it here!” It was, and is, all you could afford, but you grew to love it.
“Yeah, and I love having leg room.” Foggy chimes.
“You know what, Nelson? You could just, pay me more so I could move somewhere nicer?”
“Touche.” There’s a knock on the door, so you grin and head over there, opening the door for Matt.
And you need to take a second.
He’s holding your favorite bottle of wine, and he’s in these nice dark jeans and a gray sweater under his peacoat.
This thought strikes you.
This thing you thought you’d never feel again after your ex.
Matt Murdock is hot, and you have got to have him.
This is it. The thing you can’t deny any longer. You have a massive crush on the devil that disguises himself as your favorite person. To you, he is an angel.
“Hey,” you say breathily, as if you have it out for yourself. Surely he’ll know. “You didn’t have to bring wine.” You told him, a soft smile on your face.
He steps inside as you take the wine, leaning in to kiss your cheek gently, something he has found himself doing every time he enters your apartment. It’s your routine.  He loves this aspect of your dynamic because he has known that he’s wanted you for months. You’ve just been so caught up in everything that you didn’t see it.
“It’s no trouble, thank you for having us,” he says gently.
So this is it.
You just can’t deny it.
You have a massive crush on Matt Murdock, and there isn’t a thing you could do about it. Except maybe kiss him. But for that night, you just kind of relax and pretend you’re already dating him. That’s something you haven’t done in a long time.
You’re beginning to feel like yourself again.

Nelson Family Christmas celebrations are something of legend for you. For months you’ve heard about it, and you’re on your way to the deli with a handful of presents and two trays of cookies.
You’ve decided that just once, you want a holiday away from your family. Truth be told, you really don’t want to spend your holiday without your best friends.
You have on this stunning outfit—A red sweater, a black skirt and these warm black stockings. Boots to die for.
You know Matt can’t see your outfit, but that doesn’t stop you from wanting to dress up for him. It’s weird. This crush thing has been getting out of control.
You’re greeted at the door of the Deli with a crowd full of blonde-haired New York Irish-Italians, and they’re all lovely. You put your presents down and place your cookies on the dessert table. And you love Foggy’s family. They ask you questions constantly, and Foggy’s sister-in-law talks to you for a while about her career in the local high school system.
It’s a joy to meet so many people so full of love.
So, you go over to Foggy as he’s yapping and say gently, “Hey, where’s Matt?”
He grins.
“Why do you want to go kiss him under the mistletoe?” He teases. Your face goes red.
“Shut up! Where is he, Franklin?” You glare and he laughs, patting your arm.
“Upstairs in the hallway.” He says, and as you walk away he calls, “Go get ‘em, Tiger!” You glare and grab a cookie on your way up.
And you find him, standing in a quiet corner of the hallway. You go to open your mouth and he turns to you.
“Merry Christmas,” he leans forward and kisses your cheek.
“Merry Christmas, Matty.” You hum. “Guess what type of cookie I have.”
He sniffs the air and shakes his head. “Give me a taste and I’ll guess.” You hand him the cookie and he put it in his mouth halfway, raising his eyebrows to you.
“What?”
He gestures to the cookie in his mouth, and you laugh, realizing that he wants you to bite the other end, ala Lady and the Tramp. So you lean forward and take a bite, and he eats the rest, inches separating your face as you enjoy your treat.
People chatter down the hallway and Christmas music plays from somewhere. There are so many different foods and people, and all Matt can focus on is the vanilla coconut scent of your perfume. When you’re both finished eating your cookie, his hands find your waist.
“Matt, what are you—”
You don’t get the chance to finish because suddenly he is kissing you in the dark hallway of your friend’s family Christmas party. The kiss is wonderful. He tastes of the cookie you two shared. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
You need more kissing practice because it’s been so long. But you get the feeling that Matt won’t mind helping you out if this is another thing you want to add to your list.
When he pulls away, he’s a bit breathless but he says one thing to you.
“Chocolate chip peanut butter.”
“What?”
“That’s my guess for the cookie type.”
“Wanna kiss me again to confirm?” He grins and his hands travel down, just slightly to feel the materials of your skirt.
“That’s my girl.”
• • •
The next two months fly by in a whirl of kissing Matt, trying to find a teaching job and enjoying your first real winter in New York.
By the time March rolls around, the clock is ticking for you to be able to find a job in this school year. And then, Foggy and Matt get you the best gift ever.
“Mrs. Future Murdock,” You send Foggy a glare.
“Watch it.”
“Okay, listen—You remember that rich guy that was wrongfully accused of tax evasion?”
“Yeah, why?” You’re cleaning up your office space for the weekend, excited to go to Josie’s, have a few drinks and unwind with your very handsome boyfriend.
“Well, he’s a super intendent for a large school district in Hell’s Kitchen.” Your head snaps up to the two.
“What does that mean for me?” You raise an eyebrow.
“There’s an older teacher there who needed to have surgery and we thought, hey, we know a teacher who could sub in.”
“…Who?”
“You.” Matt says, and you grin. “Your interview is Monday.”
You gasp and hug Foggy quickly, before making your way over to Matt.
“You are the absolute best.” You kiss him quickly and his hands, as they often do, find themselves on your hips. “Thank you.”
What a lovely lovely man.
“Don’t thank us yet, you still need to get the job.” Right.
Your night at Josie’s is lovely but you spend the rest of your weekend prepping for the interview on Monday. It goes well, but something in you is telling you to stay anxious. Why? You have no idea.
It takes two weeks for them to get back to you. But you walk into the office of Nelson, Murdock & Page with a big grin. You walk right into Matt’s office, who glances up to you when you walk in, your heart racing.
“Hey, Sweetheart, I—” He cuts himself off when you walk right up to his desk and pull his chair out before finding yourself on Matt’s lap.  Your arms wrap around his neck and his arms find your waist. Before he can say much else, you kiss him quickly, and he grins into the kiss. Eventually, when you do pull away, Matt asks, “Everything okay?”
“Matty, consider this to be my two weeks’ notice.”
He gasps happily.
“Oh my god! How awful it is that you’re leaving us!” He grins, kissing you quickly. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you for getting me the interview.” You tell him, “You know if I do well, the teacher might let me coteach with her next year.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. Our list is almost done, baby.”
“Your list, not ours.”
“Yeah but you’ve been helping so much.”
“You’re easy to help.”
“You’re easy to love.”
He blushes and decides to kiss his girl again.
• • •
 So, in April, a month before your year is up, you find yourself needing a new apartment. The rent is getting crazy, and it’s nowhere near the school you’re working in. Especially considering that the teacher you’re subbing for decided she wanted to retire so you’d be taking over for her full time come Fall.
Plus, your apartment is small and cramped, especially with Matt’s stuff slowly invading your place. You discuss this with him one night. It’s late and he’s covered in cuts from his Daredeviling.
“I hate apartment hunting.” You whine, and he hums, kissing your head gently. “Nowhere is good enough. Too far from the school, too far from you, too expensive.” You complain.
“Why don’t you move in here?”
Huh. Why hadn’t you thought of that? Was it too quick to be moving in with him at this point? Maybe, but something told you Matt wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
“Really?”
He grins.
“Really. It’s close to the school, a good price, and rather close to me.” You grin and kiss him softly. It’s your favorite habit.
So, two weeks later, you’re hauling boxes into your boyfriend’s apartment. You take a few drawers of his dresser and some of your nicer outfits find their way into his armoire. Your mugs sit comfortably next to his in his cabinets. Your cabinets.
Your throw blanket is draped comfortably across his couch, and your shoes lay next to his.
Your lotion sits next to his first aid kit. You love dating Matt Murdock.
You love that next month will be one year since you moved to New York, and your life is sort of coming together. Glorious Matthew Murdock is your boyfriend. Your job is amazing. Your apartment is wonderful. Matt Murdock is your boyfriend, and he is amazing at kissing you.
• • •
So, Matt knows May is your year since moving to New York. He knows you guys could go to Josie’s and have a normal old time at the bar…
But he wants to do something special for you. So, he asks Foggy, Marci and Karen to get dressed up and go to a bar on the nicer side of town. Not that you don’t love Josie’s but your one year in New York calls for a special occasion.
You decide to wear a nice satin dress and he loves running his hands over the soft fabric. To Mat, you are perfect in every way, and every day he falls deeper and deeper in love with you.
So on a warm May night in Hell’s Kitchen, you sit in a bougie bar with your best friends, boyfriend and enjoy a year since you moved to this wonderful place you now call home. And a year and four months since your ex broke up with you. Truly, for a long time, you thought you’d never get over him.
Now, Matt is all you see.
At some point, a little tipsy, you kiss Matt’s cheek gently and tell him you’re going to grab another drink.
“Do you want anything?” You ask softly.
“Just for you to come back soon. I’ll miss you.” Oh, Tipsy Matt was your favorite.
“Okay, I’ll be right back.” You kiss him quick and head off to the bar. You order another drink and wait patiently, taking in just how happy you are in this moment.
Then, a familiar voice calls your name, and you glance over and you can’t believe it.
Your ex-boyfriend is right in front of you, and for a moment, you convince yourself you must be drunker than you realized.
“Wow, you look fantastic!” He says a grin on his face. Was… Was your ex ever… attractive? You can’t remember if he ever was. Especially not since dating Matt.
“Oh, Thanks..” You smile softly, trying to be polite but to get out of here quickly and get back to the arms of your loving boyfriend.
“Are you here with anyone?”
“Yeah.” You told him. “Some of my good friends, and—”
“So, you’re not seeing anyone?” You furrow your eyebrows. When did you say that?
Then, there’s an arm around your waist, and you know whose it is in an instant.
“Hey, Sweetheart.. Is everything okay?” Matt asks, smiling to you. Oh, he knows. He knows big time.
“Everything is great.” You turn to your ex and grin. “This is Matt, He’s my—”
“Fiancé.” Matt ends.
Fiancé?
“Fiancé?” Your ex asks, bewildered.
“Mhm. Got engaged a few days ago, that’s what we’re here celebrating.” You said gently, leaning your head against Matt’s arm.
“Engaged, but you’ve only been here for a year!”
“Well, I wasn’t about to wait around for you to ask me to date you again.” You glance over to Matt. “Besides, when you know you know.” You say softly.
Matt leans in and kisses you gently, “When you know, you know.” He echoes.
Your ex is wildly uncomfortable.
“I thought you said you’d always love me.” He says, and he has that intimidating tone to his voice that you hate.
“Yeah… Me too.. Guess I was wrong. You have a nice night, Okay?” You smile and take your drink, turning to head back to your friends. Your ex is bummed out but leaves you alone, and Matt grins to you further.
“When you know you know.” He hums.
“Fiancé..” You echo. He shrugs gently.
“I like the sound of it.”
“Me too.” You say gently. “I love you.”
“I love you, Sweetheart.” He kisses your cheek. “So… A year in New York.”
“Yup. My list is all done.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I talk to you all the time, and I don’t apologize unless it’s necessary. I love teaching and my job. My apartment is stellar, and… I think it’s safe to say I am over my ex. I upgraded. In fact, my upgrade is so much hotter than anyone else I know.”
Matt leans in to kiss you, a grin on his face, but he mutters a soft, “That’s my girl,” Before he does.

Mistakes
Draco Malfoy x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Angst, Fighting,Break Up, minor Fluff,
*Implied Gryffindor!Reader but barley*
Draco Malfoy was anything but a good person. He’d pick fights for no reason, he’d hex people he didn’t like, he’d bully younger students, anything to ignore what was happening around him. He didn’t see a reason to stop until he met you. Draco had absolutely no idea how he missed you for so long, you were there, right behind the Golden Trio the whole time. From the second he heard your voice it was like the curtains of a dingy old manor were thrown open to engulf him in summer warmth.
You were scolding him for how he spoke to Harry and all he could hear was the way his name fell from your lips. Those eyes looking up to him like he was the worst person imaginable was the only thing that could spark a change in the Slytherin Prince. And to your surprise, he actually was changing. He’d learned to ignore things he didn’t like instead of taking control of them as his focus veered toward winning your heart. Eventually the castle slowly became accustomed to peaceful walks in the corridors instead of pranks and hazing as Draco began to realize life wasn’t just about him, everyone was going through something. Including you, which was all he cared about now.
Even though there were times when he’d pick a fight or cast a spell at someone, you always understood that he was trying, that he made mistakes. And he absolutely couldn’t believe it when you finally said yes to his advances, in his eyes, everything he did was a mistake until you said yes to that Hogsmeade date.
But today he had a reason and a good one at that. He’d overheard a Slytherin 4th year talking about your body and what he’d do to you, whether you wanted him to or not. So he of course took it upon himself to teach the twat a lesson, at first he was just gonna scare him with a few choice words but when the boy didn’t back down on his threats, instead doubling down with his obscene comments, Draco decided his fists could do the talking. You however, only saw the tail end as you left for the great hall. Seeing your 7th year boyfriend, who was practically an adult, manhandle and abuse someone who was basically a child, made you sick to your stomach.
You of course didn’t know his reasoning and as you yelled in his face for everyone to hear that you were done cleaning up after him, Draco Malfoy’s heart of stone, shattered into pieces. His whole life for the past year was built on the promise of you being there, and he was going to do anything in his power to get that back.
Saturday morning you woke up to your favorite flowers on your nightstand, “Please let me explain,” written in loopy letters on a paper crane beside them. You threw off your blanket, slipped on your slippers and grabbed them both, the sun had barley risen and the castle was eerily silent as your slippers scraped along the path to the Slytherin common room. As you stared up at your boyfrie- ex boyfriend’s door, you contemplated just crashing in to kiss him, hug him, just talk to him, but that feeling in your stomach from yesterday never left. You let the flowers and note fall to your feet at his door, quickly rushing back to your dorm to cry before he could see you out here.
The next morning was harder to resist, the alluring smell of your favorite sweets filling your nostrils as you woke. Groggily you wiped at your eyes, grabbing at the origami with loopy writing again, “I promise I wasn’t being a git.” was scratched across it this time, making the images of his fight flash in your brain. The thought of him beating on random kids without your knowledge gnawed at you. You’d only ever seen him fight 6th and 7th years, some of them were entirely deserving of it but most of them just happened to exist on one of his bad days. Your brain was trying to understand why, but nothing you came up with warranted beating up a 14 year old boy. So again you made your way to his dorm, determined to stop this.
Your knuckles raked at the wood of his door, shoving your way through as soon as it cracked open. “Okay Draco, I know why you’re breaking in to leave me presents but it needs”your sentence caught in your throat as you took in his dirtied room. He was always so clean, never a sweater on his floor, but now pieces of paper, ink and clothes scattered his floor like pixies came through it.
“I’m sorry, I haven’t had a chance to clean up, I’ve been focused on your gifts,” He sighed, he had bags under his eyes like he hadn’t been sleeping, his hair was disheveled and his school clothes were still on. You eyed him as he watched you, the room going so quiet that the silence became a sound of it’s own as you both waited for the other.
“I need to explain,” Draco suddenly spoke, ushering you to his unmade bed, “I promise you I wasn’t just being a bully I-“
“Draco I didn’t come here for an excuse I came here to en-“ You tired to finish your sentence but couldn’t form the words, watching as his eyes left yours to swivel around his room, a telltale sign he was trying not to cry.
“Please, it’s not an excuse. I need to tell you my reasoning and then you can decide to leave me if that’s still what you want. I just- I’m not gonna sit back and watch you leave, we’re the only thing I’ve done correctly and I’m gonna fight for you okay?” Draco knew he was a disappointment, he knew he failed his father, his aunt, his friends, but every time he looked back on his dark days, all he saw was you by his side through it all, you helping him come to the right side, you teaching him to control his anger, you.
“He was talking about you,” He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he spoke, “your legs, your waist, what he wanted to do with them.” His throat bobbed as he looked to you, you felt worse than before, bile rising up your throat as Draco continued, “I told him to stop talking, he didn’t, so I warned him, said that if I heard your name from his mouth again I’d beat his ass. He said he could say what he wanted because you’re an adult and he’s a child so he kept on with his friends and I think you know the rest.”
The room was tense with silence, your stomach turned in anxiety, you didn’t know boys that young thought that way, you assumed he was the victim. You felt stupid and naive for wanting to protect a boy who would gladly hurt you if given the chance. You threw yourself into Draco’s arms as tears grew on your lashes.
~~~~
I’ve got some smut writers block right now and can’t think of any scenarios, if anyone has any prompts I’d be so very happy to see them!!!!

some angst of breakup Headcanons with SWK, MK and Mayor from LMK? GN Reader btw. i just need some angst.
[Pain shall be fed into the beating heart] 💥
【If we ever broke up, I'd be sad. 💔】
Tumblr media
{Sun Wukong, Mk, and Mayor breakup with GN! Reader}

"You can love them, forgive them, want good things for them ... but still move on without them." - Mandy Hale.
Sun Wukong
Tumblr media
The realization about a mortal human being and the immortal monkey king put into a loving relationship would not work.
Sun Wukong could give you his peaches of immortality to accompany him until the end of time. Except the horror that if you live forever, everyone and everything around you will move on. Somethings will die and forgotten without you. No peaches for you, hun.
Sun Wukong does not allowed to let anyone notice you as his lover, he just want to protect you from anyone that cause harm. Which makes you believe he is embarrassed to have you.
Sun Wukong is lacking the ability to explain of how he truly feeling towards you. From time to time again to have communication problems and abuse that cannot be solved.
In Sun Wukong's opinion, love is just another useless emotion to express that lead to heartbreak and disappointment. He is not ready to handle any of those qualities.
In conclusion, Sun Wukong is unexpectedly certain to break up with you, just to save you from himself. He is arrogant and a trickster is known to everyone who has heard of or had the chance to meet the legendary Monkey King.
"Eternal life can bring eternal suffering, I don't want you to feel the same way as me."
The fact that Sun Wukong has said his goodbyes to you and gone from your sight, the good thing is glad to know that you have great life and bright future ahead from destiny than his. The bad thing is, he will miss you deeply more than you ever know.

MK
Tumblr media
At first, Mk does not understand why you would choose someone like him to be your boyfriend, and he felt that not asking about it was better. He always thinking that he does not deserve your love.
Mk ponders about you cherish them because they are a powerful hero, and everything else within them has no importance. That is why the noodle boy worried that one day they would accidentally use their unnatural monkey magic skills to hurting you, and afraid they might fail to save you from danger.
Mk is often excusing himself with his training, delivering noodles, saving the world/universe, and joining his friends to avoid you.
Mk repeatedly forgets the important events, such as your birthday, the dating anniversary day, the national holidays, and meeting with your friends or family. Heis busy to handle with the fate of being heroic rest on his shoulders, and gaining more trauma through the rest of his journey.
One time, Mk send one of their clone to accompany you in the entire day. Later, the copy of them bluntly told you that they (Original self) actually felt forced in love and does not feel the same way as you anymore.
You have grown tired of him and finally choose to breakup for the best, which Mk had expected and planned this all along.
"I'm very sorry! You deserve someone else better than me."
Though still feeling awkward, you and Mk agree to became friends once again. Furthermore, both of you always ignoring the questions of "That's your ex?"

The Mayor
Tumblr media
After years of dating, there is nothing special happening between the two of you. No happiness and no pleasure, just empty.
Oh, how unfortunate you do not know so much about him, even his real name is remain unknown. The Mayor is most likely to kept horrifying secrets and plans to himself from you.
Sadly, whenever the Mayor is near you, he did not have a smile on his face. Only emotionless can be seen in your eyes. Revealing his true colors.
The Mayor would rather focus on granting his Lady's requests than to spend all of his time with you.
It is a ridiculous suspicion that the Mayor is cheating on you simply because he worships The Lady Bone Demon as his only goddess until the bitter end.
At long last, you decided to breakup with the cold-hearted and odd man, his response is none other than a giggle and does not mind.
"You see, dear?" Mayor spoke up as he turn around, "letting someone go is actually easier than we thought."
At that exact moment, the Mayor show his silly toothy smile to you for one last time before he disappeared. Leaving you heartbroken and wish him for the best to accomplish his duty.

"Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think
About anyone, anyone other than yourself?!
Give me back the love I wasted now
Cold, one day it's gonna hit you, you're alone
I won't be there, won't be there
It's cruel to turn around
Give me back the love I wasted now."

Hi! I've been craving some yandere content that's not manga, webtoon, manwa, etc. Do you have recommendations that are movies, tv shows, maybe some kdrama too? Just not manga, anime and the sort.
Sorry this one took a kabillion years to answer. Back in October, Cherry and I basically had a yandere movie month where we would just watch a bunch of movies that were labeled as Male Yandere movies because horror month (which is unfortunate for me because I don't really like horro movies). Anyways, besides the short list here that has some TV shows, here's some stuff we watched. Some of this will be later put in as recommendations, probably on Tuesdays.
Hush Little Baby- we're going to start out with some lifetime movies because they're low calorie and turn off brain fun to watch. About a neighbor kid who comes in to babysit the main character's kid only to cause problems to the entire family.
Swim at Your Own Risk- another lifetime movie. About a swim team girl who has a fling with the swim couch after taking a break with her boyfriend. Things go wrong as the swim couch gets obsessed with her.
You Belong to Me - another lifetime movie. About a lady who finds out that someone is stalking her and tries to figure out who it is after they try to murder her boyfriend.
Addicted/Obsessed- Addicted is the korean movie and Obsessed is the English remake. About twins, one of which is married to the female lead, where they both have an accident. The husband dies, however, the other seems to have been possessed by the husband.
LadyHawke - older movie, but the yandere is the main villain. About a main character who escapes prison and finds a couple who is cursed to turn into a wolf and hawk respectively during the day and night, fated to never be together.
Well Intentioned Love- Chinese drama, though the yandere portion only really shows up in the first season. About a girl who has lukemia and has to have a contract marriage with the only person who can give her a doner bone marrow match. Driver is best character.
Disco Pigs- Pretty surreal movie in some cases. About two childhood friends, Pig and Runt who love each other as Pig becomes more and more obsessed with her as the movie goes on.
Labyrinth - I probably won't write a recommendation for this one because the yandere portion really only shows up in the song, but it's still a fun movie with David Bowie. I even read the comic for it just to check but the yandere portion seems to only show up in the song.
The Boy - I actually watched this with another friend that was obsessed with wallmen, but its a pretty fun movie overall. I think most people know this one though. About a lady who moves in and babysits a doll while trying to escape her abusive ex.
Within - also another movie I watched with my wallmen obsessed friend. About a family that moves into a house that turns out to be haunted in one way or another.
What If…Dr. Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands? - Sorcerer Supreme in general in general seems like a yandere since his entire goal is to just bring back Christine at all costs. He also just generally shows up in other episodes of the What If? Series.
Heathers - I heard the movie version isn't nearly as yandere, but the musical version is for sure.
Phantom of the Opera- I'm kind of cheating with this one because it's like one of the OG male yandere stuff, but hey, if you haven't heard or watched it yet, well you know.
That's about it for now since usually Cherry and I don't watch a ton of movies. Might change after a while, but we'll see. Maybe in February we'll try to have a tv drama month to watch stuff.

we want the juicy details on your sexual awakening
It's not that juicy. It's actually fairly sad, but someone else may be at this point and need to hear it.
Warning - questionable consent, technically a form of sex work, total power exchange, abusive relationships, mental health issues, learning to adapt, and becoming a survivor instead of a victim.
I was a really really good kid and teen. Like I addressed, I got my kicks from fanfiction. I dated once in high school, and it never went further than kissing (which caused my first break up and broken heart). My first "What is happening to my body," came from watching The Mummy, and it wasn't something I could discuss with anyone besides my older brother who did the best he could to try to talk to me about safe sex.
I moved away from my parents in 2014 and went to a college about 4 hours away. Aka- close enough to mom and dad to drive home once every couple months, not close enough for them to randomly show up. I was an art major focusing on art history and visual design, and that required me to take a life drawing class.
Tender 18 year old Liz, a starving college student working two jobs, ended up catching the eye of one of the male models, and we started talking a lot. I found out after a month of him taking me on dates, surprising me with gifts, and him staying up with me when I'd be lonely because I didn't live on campus have friends, that he was married and him and his wife were looking for a girlfriend for him since she had a boyfriend on the side. I don't regret this choice because it shaped who I am today, but I stupidly agreed to go into it without having set my own boundaries and limits.
He had rules for me. Rules I can recite clearly to this day: he dresses me, I do not make financial choices without him, I am to tell him where I was at all times and leave my tracker on, he decides what I eat and when, no drinking, no smoking, and no other partners. If I listened, he would pay my tuition, books, help with rent, etc. At the time, I did not realize that I was entering a total power exchange dynamic, and he knew that.
Those starter rules evolved into more... sex based rules, and after 3 months, I ended up losing my virginity to him after he told me refusing was breaking his rules, and if I broke his rules, my allowance was cut off, and I really needed help with rent, friends. I am not proud of that decision, but that decision was made.
I stayed in this relationship with him hanging financial security and my own naivety over my head for close to 10 months. My dad is a law enforcement officer, and he is the one who noticed the change in my personality and looks.
I had waist length dark brown hair. I came home blonde with my hair cut to my lower neck. I stopped wearing Converse and Vans and started wearing heels and sandles more. I would get really anxious and upset if I wasn't near my phone or could not find it to meet my required check-ins. I cried. Alot. Yelling made me actually panic. My dad made me sit down with a female investigator and answer questions about everything.
When she was done and confirmed to him what was happening, he then proceeded to get my brothers, a uHaul, and my apartment keys and move me back home. He had my phone bill at that point, so he blocked the couple, her boyfriend, and their friends that I had the displeasure of meeting and ensured I never heard from them again.
Cohearsed consent is not consent. The second I started therapy and realized that, I spiraled. The weight of everything set in, and I realized I had been a victim of sexual assault. I began to cope by being hypersexual. Within a year, I'd had sex with close to 30 people trying to reclaim my body and, in turn, endangering myself until I met my ex fiancé.
When I met him, things changed significantly. He was a stepping stone in my healing and helped me find religion and value in myself beyond my body. Ironically, my healing and finding the wrong religion (catholics don't seem to be a fan of spirituality) is what led to our engagement being called off. I was 21 when we stopped seeing each other.
I slowed down at that point signicantly and cut off all sex. I was done with it and decided never again. I could please me better than anyone else could anyways. Then, I met baby daddy, and we started as strictly friends with benefits. He is the safest dom I've ever had, the kindest man I've ever met, and from the bat, he understood me more than I understood me. He saw me for me and cared for me despite the damaged goods.
He triggered the true awakening. We took sex between us slow, exploring things gently, talking about what I wanted to try and keeping track of what I liked, what he liked, and meeting in a happy middle. He indulged my want to explore with other women and just sat and watched. Then, when we felt I was ready, he introduced me to the swinging/bdsm lifestyle, and it helped me process the remaining bits of trauma I had with him beside me every step of the way. He helped shape me sexually into who I needed to be to heal and then who I deserved to be sexually for me.
I don't know at what point FwB turned into us living together and telling each other how much the other means to us almost daily, but now we're here, cuddling on couch, exhausted from taking care of our daughter, and discussing which one of us gets the last chocolate peanut butter overnight oats packet and *whispers* marriage.
Him and Sophia are the happy ending 18 year old Liz thought she was losing when she was desperate to pay rent. He helped me heal, learn who I was in terms of sex, and gave me the safest place to land.
One might say I'm pretty attached to him forever now 🤣
Ps - let me tell ya, missionary isn't boring when it's with someone who thinks you're the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, pregnancy stretch marks, and all. 💕

✶ Since Billy broke up with you that summer before 6th grade, you guys have hated each other. -While you hated Billy. Billy was obsessed with you. At first, he would just bully you, and mess around with you, but then it turned into flirting to make you upset, to actual flirting, to just trying to be your friend. Anything to have your attention.

And when the three of them work together it makes everything in your relationship easier/work.
for example;
Eddie is so in love with you but he’s a horrible boyfriend. You mean the world to him and he would do anything for you. Except be on time. Or miss Hellfire. Or band practice. Eddie couldn’t give you the attention you wanted 24/7.
Steve loves taking care of you; he likes buying you whatever you want and need. Being in charge of you. Making sure you are okay and safe.
Billy loves protecting you. Hurting anyone that hurts you. Fights for you. Would kill for you. Obsessed with you. Think Mark Walhberg in Fear obsessed. A little pyscho when it comes to you but he loves you.
Eddie loves doing all those things as well, but his favorite is pleasuring you. Pleasuring you pleasures him. Always willing to drop to his knees for you. And oh is he good at it. Like Billy&steve are good as well. But Eddie. Man Eddie worships you. He is convinced his purpose in life is to make you cum whenever you want.

Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
You, Bucky, Wanda and Steve are in the hospital wing of the tower, visiting with Sam who was injured fighting the Winter Soldier when Tony enters the room. "I don't mean to break this... whatever this is, but I need the Sergeant," he indicates to Bucky as he starts walking out of the room.
"Wait, Tony! What's happening?" Steve asks from Sam's side.
Tony takes a deep breath and sighs loudly before he turns to the room. "I went through the camera feeds and it turns out Scott whispered something to the Winter Soldier before all hell broke loose. I'm pretty sure it was the location to take Y/N to. I need Bucky to tell me where it is so we can find those bastards and end this."
"Why don't you just ask Scott? Surely he can't be so tough?" Sam inquires.
"See, the thing is..." Tony runs his palm down his face rubbing his tired eyes, "we can't do that. He had a cyanide capsule and killed himself in the cell. We didn't know until he bit down and it was too late. The audio is too low, not even JARVIS can piece it together. So I need Bucky to remember."
You cringe to yourself as all eyes fall on Bucky. "But I don't remember him saying anything after triggering me... I tried going through the events in my mind but nothing pops up," Bucky says as he rubs the back of his neck.
"We thought you'd say that. It's natural to remember only the big events when you're the Soldier. Your thought patterns are different to his, after all. Bruce and I believe a form of hypnosis where you walk through the events step by step might be the best. Witnesses often remember more details when they're hypnotised in a relaxed environment. I'd ask Wanda to make it easier but I know you understandably wouldn't want anyone messing with your mind ever again."
A shudder runs through Bucky at the thought of being at someone else's mercy. "Yeah, sorry Wanda. Besides, I don't think you want to be anywhere near my fucked up mind..."
"Don't say that Bucky. Your mind is perfect," you say as you softly punch his arm.
"It's good. I honestly don't want to be in any of your weird minds unless it's unavoidable," Wanda says as laughs surround her. 
"Yeah, we are all pretty special in our own way!" Sam says softly, a huge smile on his face.
It's Steve that brings the conversation back to Tony. "The hypnosis, is it safe for him? There's no chance of it bringing the Soldier back?" Steve always has his best friend's back and wants to keep him safe.
"Since we won't be saying his trigger words, it should be safe."
"But it will be terrifying, being back in that mindset, Bucky. You need to decide." Wanda adds, earning a nod from Tony.
You can feel Bucky's heart racing when he pulls you to him and meets the other's gazes. "If it's the only way to stop this, then I guess we have to..."
Tumblr media
"Maybe you shouldn't be here, doll," Bucky whispers in your ear as you enter the lightly illuminated room. "What if they're wrong and I hurt everyone?"
"You won't, handsome. Besides, I'm the only one Winter won't hurt, remember?" Bruce points to the couch and you and Bucky sit down. You grab his hand before whispering in his ear, "I'm with you Bucky. Just relax for me."
"Ok, let's get started. I need you to watch this pendulum and try to relax, alright? Just follow it with your gaze and when you feel sleepy close your eyes."
Bucky sighs before doing as you say and sinking into the couch, trying to relax. It was decided that Bruce would be the one to hypnotise Bucky. The strained relationship between Tony and Bucky would make it difficult for Bucky to relax.
Steve was seated in the corner of the room, behind the two of you, just in case things went wrong and his strength was needed, even if he was injured. He was the only one with a chance of surviving the Winter Soldiers' attack long enough.
Bucky nods to him, rubbing his sweaty right palm on his pant leg. After a few minutes of watching the pendulum, Bucky huffs in frustration. "I'm sorry, I just can't seem to relax." He leans his head on the couch and pinches his nose, his hands trembling with anxiety.
When Bruce looks at you, you can see he doesn't know how to calm the frustrated man next to you. You think for a moment before nodding to Bruce. "Maybe if you two left, he'd relax a bit more." You motion to Bruce to give you an earpiece to communicate with you. He nods before he leaves quickly and returns a few minutes later with what you need. 
"Are you sure Y/N?" Steve asks from the door. 
"Of course, I'm safe with him. Just give us some time to do this." With a last worried look, the two men depart, leaving you with an irritated Bucky.
"It's just the two of us now," you whisper to Bucky as you put the earpiece in your ear, hearing Bruce softly talking to you and informing you that they're watching from the camera.
You run your hands through his hair, scratching his scalp softly with your nails, making him smile at your touch. "Just relax for me handsome," you add as you move your hands from his scalp and rub his tense broad shoulders, massaging up into his neck, making him moan softly. "You can do this Bucky, I'll help you."
He nods before he pulls you into his lap, holding you close to him. "Ok, I'll try again."
You reach over and start the pendulum again, running your fingers down his veiny arm as he stares ahead, watching the moving object. "You're safe here Bucky. When you feel sleepy, just close those beautiful blue eyes for me."
In moments his eyes begin to drop as he leans against the couch and closes his eyes.
You repeat what Bruce says in your ear softly, hesitant to break Bucky's relaxing state. "Think back to earlier, when you woke up in the gym. Walk me through what happened."
"I was so tired, I just wanted to sleep, but someone wouldn't let me. He grasped my shirt and pulled me up, waking me from a deep sleep. I thought it was one of the guys, trying to wake me, but then I heard the words. If I was more awake, I would have tried to stop the voice but I was still a bit under. Wake enough to hear him but not enough to stop him. I felt so cold, so lonely."
Your heart breaks for the man you love but you continue, "What did he say after he activated you?"
"Destroy the Avengers and kill anyone that gets in your way. Bring Y/N to the Rumlows, unharmed." Bucky's voice is strained as he repeats to you what was said.
"What happened next?"
"I heard someone yelling before he pulled me back and whispered to me."
"What did he say?"
Bucky's eyelids move rapidly as he's deep in thought. He mentions an address in Queensbridge which makes both Bruce and Steve groan in your ear. 
"Did he say anything else?" You ask softly.
"No, he left before I engaged with Sam." Bucky's voice hitches, his anxiety about what happened with Sam overwhelming him as he twitches in thought.
"You did good, Bucky. I need you to wake up now."
When he opens his eyes they are full of pain and sadness. He pulls you to him and kisses you deeply, holding you to him for a moment to calm his racing mind. Slowly the two of you exit the room and meet Steve and Bruce in the hallway.
"We'll all get some sleep before we make a move on the venue tomorrow morning. It's a dangerous part of Queens so we need to be careful with how we handle the situation." Steve says as Bruce agrees with him.
"I'll have JARVIS run some scenarios while we all get some rest, and then we'll decide how to proceed tomorrow."
The two of you say good night to everyone before you walk to Bucky's rooms.
Tumblr media
You pull Bucky into the bedroom before dropping his hand and moving to take off your shirt. This time you were going to be strong and go after what both of you wanted. You gasp the edges of your shirt and pull it off you, seeing the look of passion on Bucky's expression before he turns away abruptly. 
"You ok?" You ask as you step out of your pants, leaving you in just your bra and panties.
He doesn't face you as he replies with a soft, "yeah." He wipes the palms of his hands on his pants, avoiding looking at you.
"Bucky, what's wrong? I want to be with you." You move in front of him but his reaction still remains the same. Your breathing becomes rapid as you feel anxiety settle in your stomach. "Holy shit... you don't want me, do you?" Mouth gaping, you turn away from him, cupping your lips to stop a gasp of devastation. "You say you love me but..." You can't bring yourself to finish that sentence. Bucky was supposed to be one of the good ones, but was he just stringing you along for fun? 
He gasps your arm and steps closer to you, his chest against your back, stopping you from pulling your clothes on again. "Of course, I want you, kitten. I want you more than I want to breathe, and when I say I love you I mean it. Don't you ever question that." His voice is hoarse in your ears.
"Then what's wrong Bucky?" You turn to face him, pulling his arms around your back so he holds you close.
"I... I haven't done this in a long time, doll." His blue eyes are filled with concern as his shoulders haunch. "And I... I have scars Y/N. I'm not like Steve with his perfect skin and pretty looks. I don't want you to be repulsed by me..."
He looks so vulnerable in front of you that you just want to kiss him, so you do. You kiss him gently, showing him your love for him. "I've been with pretty boys before, and it didn't work out well for me." You cup his jaw with your hands, "You're handsome Bucky, and I love that. Tell me something - the scars - did you get them when you went on missions as the Winter Soldier?" If you knew how he got them, then maybe you could ease his anxiety a bit.
"A couple, yeah, but most of them were as a result of the... regime... they put me through to become him. When they deemed me important enough and they could control the Soldier, they gave me a shot to increase my healing abilities for the future, but by then I had a lot of scars that they decided were not important enough to fix."
"So you got your scars when you tried to fight back all those years? When you refused to bend to their will and hurt people?"
He leans into your palm, "I guess so, yeah." 
"You know what that tells me, Bucky? It shows me that you would rather have them hurt you than you would hurt someone else. That is the man that I love and want to be with. You help people, even when they're afraid of you or say ugly things about you. You care about the people around you, even if you think they just accept you due to your skills. Bucky, you made a kid's day by signing with him. You are amazing," you say as you softly begin to pull his shirt off of him, giving him time to stop you if he wanted to. 
Your eyes run over his powerful form, seeing the multitude of scars littering his chest before you bend down to run your tongue over each scar, wanting to replace the bad memories with good ones.  "I love you so much, my handsome Sergeant. These scars of yours are a testament to how much you've survived. What they did to you would have broken any other man. I'm honoured to call you mine."
Bucky is feral as his lips meet yours, kissing you feverishly as he pulls you to him, kissing the breath out of you. When you finally separate, you reach behind you to unclasp your bra but he stops you.
"Let me," he says as he pulls your bra straps down your shoulders before reaching his huge arms around your waist to unclasp your bra, watching with dark eyes as it falls to the floor, his gaze narrowing to your naked breasts. You moan as he cups them, one hand warm and the other cold, sending chills down your body. You look down between the two of you and see he isn't unaffected by your naked breasts as his erection stands proud between the two of you, straining against his pants.
"You fit my hands perfectly, doll. You were made for me," he growls in your ear, making you moan with need before moving his flesh hand down your body to cup you between your legs. "You're so wet for me, aren't you?"
"Only for you, Bucky." He kisses you as he walks you back to the bed. When you reach the edge, you climb onto the middle of the bed, pulling him with you.
He props himself on top of you, holding himself up by his knees and elbows. "Is this ok, doll? I don't want to frighten you."
"This is perfect, Bucky. I trust you and I know you won't ever hurt me."
He kisses you before working his way down your neck, stopping to cup your breast with one hand as he twirls his tongue around the other, sucking on you and making you arch your back as you hold onto his big shoulders. He moves to your other breast loving it equally before he moves down your body. He licks your belly button before curling his fingers around your panty and pulling it off you slowly, watching your eyes for any sign of hesitation.
He nudges your thighs open wider to make space for his wide shoulders. You gulp as his intentions become clear. God, how long has it been since someone gave you oral? Your ex had been more interested in his own pleasure than yours.
Your hands grasp onto Bucky's hair as he curls his hands around your inner legs and parts you with his thumbs, opening you up to his gaze before he lowers his head and licks you all over. He sucks on your clit then squeezes his tongue into your hole before licking up your slit again, his tongue doing magical things to your insides making you clench your legs around him.
"Bucky, please... I need to feel you. I need you inside of me," you pant as he licks your slit again.
He moves up and gives you a deep kiss, making you taste yourself on him. "I want that too, kitten. But I don't know how long I'll last when I'm inside you. I need you to come for me first." He kisses your belly button and then moves down again. "I need this to be good for you. Think you can come for me?"
You nod your head and moan as he starts licking you again, rolling his tongue over your clit before sucking deeply as he works a finger into you, making you squirm before adding another. 
He spreads his two fingers to stretch you out before he curls them and rubs the spongy spot deep inside you, crooking his fingers as he sucks on your clit. "Oh, God, Bucky!" You call as you come on his fingers, soaking them with your essence before you drop your head on the bed, the orgasm one of the biggest you've ever had before.
"That's it, kitten. You sound amazing when you come for me." His eyes are glazed with need as he pops the button on his pants. "I can't wait to be inside you." You reach out and move his hands away, grasping his pants zipper and pulling his pants down, his hard cock bouncing up to meet you. You gasp at the size of him. He really was big. He groans in delight as you wrap your small hands around his large erection, stroking him up and down, running your thumb over his slit making him shudder with need.
"Please, please! I need you Bucky!" You pull him to you, dripping with your need for him as you grasp his neck and kiss him like your life depends on it. You feel the head of his cock pushing into your entrance as you curl your legs around his waist. 
"Jesus, Y/N. You feel so fucking good." He pushes in deeper, inch by inch, making you whimper as you take all of him. "You're so warm and tight." He shudders at the pleasure being inside you gives him, biting his lip to keep still while you get used to his size. 
"You're so big Bucky." He leans in and kisses you, biting your lower lip as his hand moves down to your clit to rub you, helping you relax. 
"Move Bucky, please." You gasp as he pulls back before pressing into you a few times slowly, letting you get used to his large cock before he increases his pace, sweat beading on his brow from how good you make him feel.
He thrusts into you, moaning as you clench around him. "I'm not going to last long, kitten. I'm so sorry but you just feel so good." You see how he's trying to hold back, wanting to make you feel come again but it just feels so good to be inside you.
"It's alright Bucky. I want to make you feel good too." He drops his face into the crook of your neck, moaning into your ear as his breathing increases. You know he just needs a push before he'll orgasm, so you give it to him. You grab his ass and squeeze it before whispering in his ear seductively, "Come inside me, Sergeant." 
Your words make his balls pull up tight as he lets out a hoarse cry. His body trembles with his orgasm as he pulls you to him, his hips jerking as he spurts into you.
He falls onto you, bracing himself at the last moment to avoid crushing you. "Fuck kitten, you're going to kill me with that mouth of yours." 
Giggling, you wrap your hands around his shoulders before gasping in surprise. He's still so hard inside you.
"I'm sorry, kitten. I just need you so much." He pulls out a bit before thrusting into you again, your combined wetness making squelching noises as he slowly rekindles the need inside you. He grasps your hips and lifts you to a better angle, hitting your clit with every thrust. He kisses you, tongue swirling with yours as he shoves himself inside you over and over again. You wrap your hands in his long hair and pull softly, making him growl at the feeling. He slams into you, making you gasp before he slows down again, his body shaking with the effort to hold himself back.
"I can take you Bucky. You won't break me," you whisper before tugging his earlobe between your teeth, making his breath shudder. "I want to feel all of you."
He looks at you intensely before he grasps your hips and slams into you, making you cry out at the sensation his glorious cock creates against your wet walls. You feel the edge approach you before you scream out his name as you come, clenching his cock to you as you ride out your orgasm. 
"You're mine, you got that?" Bucky says as he rams his cock into you.
"I'm yours and you're mine, Sarge." Bucky's eyes widen, a growl slipping out of his mouth as he pulls you to him, licking your breast before he cries out and shoots his seed inside you.
He pulls out of you slowly, watching your combined juices drip off of you. "You're so fucking amazing kitten. I love you so much," he kisses you before standing up to grab a clean washcloth from the bathroom to clean you off. 
"I love you too Bucky," you reply as exhaustion overcomes you, your body still tingling from what your super soldier made you feel.
He pulls you to his side and wraps his arms around your naked body before the two of you drift off into a dreamless sleep.

Actually the amount of fanfics I’ve read where the couple does get back after he cheated on the girl is soooo much. Where are these I’m hearing that they don’t get back together?! Someone please give recommendations!
I’ve been cheated on not once not twice not 3 times BUT 4 TIMES 😝. I finally learned my lesson and stoped going back cos I was just being stupid and then I realized that I should stop fighting for someone who was disrespecting me. 
As for Joel, I don’t see a redemption. I’m sorry it’s just ugh. He brought that girl to his HOUSE the HOME he had with his WIFE. Joel is a grown ass man. He knew what he was doing. There’s no excuse betray his wife. And there’s also no way he’s fully sincere begging for forgiveness cos he knew what he was doing with another woman. He put himself first and didn’t care about how hurt his wife would be. To be put in that position is humiliating and oh so painful. I remember asking myself why over and over. I thought my love with exes would be more than enough for the both of us but it was just that. My love for them was more than the love they had for me. Cos if someone loves you and has their heart set on your relationship, future, and soul, they don’t do that. I wish I knew that earlier. I did love them but it wasn’t fair that it was just me putting the effort to make everything better. Also it was annoying after finding out about the cheating cos that’s when the men put in the effort. Funny how that works. 
But yeh those images and memories stay with you forever. Even if you say you forgive and forget. It’s not physically possible. 
If anyone wants unsolicited advice, don’t let your past memories of love keep you in the relationship. The months or even years of your relationship didn’t mean Jack shit to him or else he would’ve be committed to only you. The bad will forever be outweighed by the good. What I mean is that you will look at the relationships past different cos you won’t stop connecting it to what he did. You will try to let it go and build new memories to get rid of what he did but nothing will change what he caused to happen. Back to what I said earlier, don’t let your past memories of love keep you in the relationship. Those good memories will never have a future where they won’t lead to what he did. Don’t use them as an excuse to hold on to what you had. He didn’t care. 
I really tried. I did everything. Therapy, couples counseling, speaking with my pastor, taking a small break and then getting back together. But it was never the same. I have so many regrets. One of them is that I wish that every time that happened to me, I had let go of the relationship whenever they did. 
Totally up to you how you continue. I don’t know if reading more would be healthy for me cos I usually don’t like to read cheating stuff but there was something special about yours. 
It feels good to let everything out. Sorry. Maybe I said a whole bunch of nothing. 
Dear anon,
I'm so sorry this happened to you, no one should ever have to go through that emotional abuse.
Please, don't apologize, I'm glad you reached out and felt better by speaking your mind and I'm also so thankful and humbled for giving this fic a chance despite the warnings and the memories that it probably brought up in you.
I have to admit that you make some very good points. I do believe that is very hard to let go of these memories, even if you forgive your partner; your mind will always go back to that moment, like a stain on a white shirt you can't ignore, no matter how hard you try.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me, I really appreciate it..

The Flip Side Part 10
Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x reader
Word count: ~8.8k
Summary: Your motivation to continue working as a mobster in Chicago is dwindling after the birth of your daughter.
A/N: The next chapter! I will admit that I proofread this half-asleep, just fyi. Let me know if something truly makes no sense. Enjoy! 
Warnings: Angst, mentions of alcoholism, past physical/emotional abuse, violence, blood, death.
No one speaks after you finish talking, and the silence that sits between the group is enough to make you shift anxiously. You’d handed Natalya off to Steve who passed her off to Natasha in the middle of your story. You were glad to have your hands free because talking about your horrible relationship before Wanda, the only relationship before Wanda made you bounce your leg so furiously you would have sent your daughter into a fit.   Wanda’s the first person to really react to what you’d said, and she can’t stop the tears that she feels stinging her eyes. The idea of something like this happening to you made her heart break, and no matter how irrational it was, she’d like to put this horrible woman in the ground. She had no idea how you’d managed to keep all of this to yourself for so long, but she understood your anxiety a little bit better. Wanda is certain that she would also be forever anxious despite leaving an abusive, terrifying ex nearly 800 miles in the dust.   You’re still looking down at your hands in shame when you hear your wife sniffling next to you. You dare to look at her, and you see that she seems more upset than angry which is not what you expected. You frown before getting up and grabbing a nearby box of tissues. You stop short of handing it to her and you pluck one out of the box before offering it to her.   “I’m sorry I’ve upset you. I shouldn’t have kept this to myself. I never would have imagined that she’d come after me so many years later.”
12 years. It’s been over 12 years since you last saw Hela, but for some reason she’s come to find you. You were hoping that when she didn’t show up in the first few months, and then the first few years after your escape she’d forgotten about you. You can’t help but wonder what she wants from you now. Revenge? She clearly tried to get you thrown in prison, but what was her end goal?
You’re deep in thought as Wanda considers the same question with a frown. The fact that someone who used to torment you is in the city, was in her restaurant makes her uneasy. She’d been uncomfortable not knowing who was behind everything this week, but honestly, she’s not sure this is any better. She looks to her friends who seem to be mulling over their own thoughts, so Wanda decides to speak up first. She reaches for your hand and squeezes it despite the slight ache that travels up her arm.   “I’m not upset at you, detka. I hate that this happened to you.”   You smile at your wife despite the fact that she’s crying harder now. She doesn’t make an effort to wipe her tears away as she holds your hand, so you do it for her. You take one of the tissues and carefully dab at her cheeks with a small smile.
“So do I, but at least I can be grateful for the fact that it brought me here.”   You only glance at the small burn on her chin for half a second before you kiss her cheek. You want to say more, you’re sure she wants to ask you a lot, but you’ll be able to do that later. Maybe once your friends leave to help you figure out how to salvage your crumbling empire. Wanda just nods in silent understanding before releasing your hand because it’s starting to hurt her a lot. She should have taken her full dose of medication.   You sigh before turning to everyone else and trying to figure out how to explain why you’d shared your traumatic past. You just wanted them to be aware of how dangerous she could be, and how rarely she failed at something she set her mind to. You wanted your friends to stay safe, and you needed to figure out how to get her out of your city fast.   “I know that was a lot, and you probably have questions that I might not be able to answer…but go ahead. Shoot.”   Nat and Steve exchange a look before the former decides to take the lead on it. They’d all wondered if the person coming after you was someone with a vendetta against you. Given how long you’d been a criminal, it was impossible not to make enemies and the list of names was endless. Now that they had a little more information, they still weren’t sure what to expect from this Hela. Everything she’s done so far was to put you in jail and hurt your business and your wife. As ineffective as trying to keep you in jail had been, the fact that people were still shaken from the hit that was apparently ordered by your ex, and the injuries that Wanda had suffered could mean a couple different things.   Nat shifts little Nat on her lap ignoring how she reaches and falls short of grabbing her hair as she frowns in thought.   “Given what’s already happened this past week, do you think she’s intentionally revealed herself to get you to seek her out? Or is she the type to drag things out?”   Your mind immediately goes to the last time you’d been forced to play one of Hela’s sick games. Like this one, it involved a lot of anxiety, pain and uncertainty of whether or not you’d prevail in the end. Everyone watches a haunted look pass over your face before you shake your head. You’re certain that Hela could have kept her identity secret for as long as she wanted. She revealed herself on purpose. She wanted you to see her here, in Wanda’s kitchen so you would feel the fear of God in you.   “She wouldn’t have shown her face on camera if she didn’t want me to know she was here. She’ll keep dropping breadcrumbs for me until I go to her.”   The idea is as unsettling as it is helpful to everyone in the room. This means that an end is in sight, but given what you’d just told them, they’re sure that any business she has with you isn’t going to be pleasant. Knowing you like they all do; they doubt you’re going to wait for her to keep interfering with your life and threatening your family. You’ll seek her out and try to make a deal so she stops trying to hurt the people you love.   Bucky speaks up next as he tries to figure out what their next move would be. Should they look for her, or should they try to salvage the two delayed deals and address the near dozen phone calls from worried employees? He had a feeling he knew what your priorities were, but he had to be sure.   “What would you like us to do, Y/n?”   She almost says more, but watching as you frown immediately and start to try and plan your next move makes her realize that you’re already a little overwhelmed. You just got out of prison, you probably wanted a proper shower and some time alone with your wife. Instead, you were planning a counterattack against your ex from 12 years ago. You might need a few minutes to figure everything out.   Little did Nat know, that you’d spent most of last night after worrying about her return trying to figure out a plan. If she was the same woman you knew all those years ago, she was going to want you to be at her mercy. She’ll want to see you suffer even more than you have already, and you unfortunately know exactly how she’s going to manage that. You steal a glance at your wife who just frowns in confusion, but you don’t give her a chance to ask before you’re speaking.   “I mostly want everyone to be careful. She’s already proven that she has no qualms against hurting us, so just watch out for each other. “   You hesitate to say what your next plan of attack is because you’re certain that most of them, if not all, will object. You know that she’s going to want to talk to you, and you should figure out how to do that in the safest way possible. You’re not quite sure how to accomplish this and maybe you just need to sleep on it, but the fastest way to get this over with is to find out what she’s after.   “I also think I need to talk to her somehow.”   As expected, no one seems to like this plan and everyone’s scowling if not outright glaring at you. You realize that it’s not a good idea. Doing anything that plays into Hela’s hand is idiotic, but you’re not just going to wait around for her to attack another one of your family members.   “No way.” “Not in person.” “Y/n, no.”   You look to your wife first because you know her opinion is going to sway you the most. You can’t help but wonder if she’s connecting the dots of all the unexplained habits she’s noticed over the years. There’s always one nightmare that you have every couple of years that forces you out of bed to make sure there’s no one in the house. You always end up back in bed, but you’re tense for the rest of the night, and you refuse to talk about it the next day. You’re pretty open about most of the scars you’ve collected over the years, but there are a few that you won’t explain to her no matter how many years have passed. Wanda’s wondering how much of your paranoia and anxiety is due to your job, and what’s a byproduct of the two years you spent with the brunette. She can’t imagine how you’ve survived this long with all of the stress you carry.   Why would you want to go talk to someone who caused this? The person who drove you to flee for your life and start all over in a huge city where you knew no one. Wanda couldn’t understand it and she’s going to want you to explain it to her later.   “I need to figure out what she wants, Wands. I know she’ll reach out now that I’m back, and I’m hoping it’s just a phone call.”   At first. You don’t say this but you’re sure that everyone but Little Nat who’s finally managed to reach her aunt’s hair understands this. Wanda doesn’t look happy and you know you’ll have a lot of convincing to do, but everyone else just groans or scowls at you in disapproval. You try to reason with Nat next despite knowing it’s useless.   “I won’t do anything stupider than this before consulting you, okay? Right now, though, I really need to lie down and eat something.”   You tell everyone that they’re welcome to hang around, but you know they’re already making plans of their own. Nat’s going to try and talk to her sister and see how she’s doing before she fills her in on everything you disclosed. She wants her to be aware of the danger too and she’s going to try and improve her odds to keep you out of trouble. Bucky’s going to check on some work things that will hopefully give him a better idea of what Hela’s fucked with. Steve is going to stick nearby just in case, and Pietro has no fucking clue what he’s going to do.   He knows he said he was going to do a better job of trusting your instincts, but this doesn’t seem like a stellar decision. Just looking at the distress on his sister’s face is enough for him to think that you’re going to argue as soon as he’s gone. He takes Little Nat from Big Nat as soon as the redhead kisses her goodbye, and he watches as the trio head out with promises to be ready whenever they’re needed. He holds back and tries to figure out what to say first, but you beat him to it.   “Pietro, I want to apologize to you. To both of you really.”   You get up and move to sit somewhere that you can look at both Maximoffs as you say this. You’ve only been thinking this for months, but the fact that you let it continue the way it has isn’t fair to either of the twins in front of you. You’re going to do better. You’ll get rid of Hela and then you’ll be the wife and the mother that you promised Wanda you’d be.   “I’m sorry for being so absent, especially since Natalya.”   You turn to your wife.   “I promised to be a good wife to you, and to do my best to be the mother our little one deserves, but I don’t think I’ve really accomplished either.”   Wanda’s brows furrow in confusion as she struggles to wrap her mind around this. Where had this come from? It’s almost as if you’d heard her thoughts from a couple of nights ago. She didn’t want you to feel bad, but she had wanted this conversation to happen so you could both reestablish expectations. She hadn’t anticipated her brother being present though.   She doesn’t realize why he’s here until you turn to him with a small smile and a promise that nearly knocks him on his ass.   “Pietro, I know I’ve fallen short of your expectations for Wanda, but I’m going to do better. I’m telling you this because I figured you wouldn’t mind holding me accountable, and knocking some sense into me if necessary.”   Wanda’s already shaking her head at the thought of this, but luckily you just shake your head too and laugh. You’ve stunned your brother-in-law into silence and you feel more accomplished about this than you did about getting yourself out of that car this morning.   “I’m kidding about that part, Wands would couch us both, but the rest of it, I’m dead serious.”   Pietro eventually nods as he takes a moment to consider this. You’re clearly self-aware enough to understand how the family dynamics although consistent, aren’t ideal for Natalya. As much as he loves seeing and spending time with his niece, you’d promised to be more present and the past week is the first time that you’d accomplished this in her 6-months of life. Both Maximoffs understood that you were busy with work, but they counted on you in ways that you’d promised to deliver, and you were consistently falling short. He was only a little glad to see that you were feeling guilty because it proved to him that you understood the severity of your actions. He would gladly do as you asked and as soon as Hela was gone and dealt with, he would be the first one to ask when you’re quitting.   “Okay, Y/n. I think I can do that.”   When Pietro leaves a little later you and Wanda are exhausted from the past couple of hours. A combination of information overload and emotions running high made the two of you want to sleep for a couple of days. Wanda had taken another dose of her medication and it was barely past 12. However, she knew that you wanted to sleep, so she figured it would be a good time to take the medication. She would rest with you and then you could both wake up and take care of figuring out what to eat.   You brought Natalya into the bedroom and put her in one of her smaller cribs to sleep because you wanted her nearby. You were about to conk out, and you wanted your daughter within earshot in case she needed anything. Your two shepherds decided to hunker down with you as well, so it was a fairly full house in the bedroom.   “Can I help with anything?”   Wanda had just been considering how she’d get into bed when you ask this. You’re going to take a shower before getting into bed because you’re still covered in dirt and blood, but you can tell that Wanda’s hesitant to use her arms. You hadn’t realized how difficult her injuries would make any action for her, and you berate yourself once again for not being able to prevent this.   Your wife offers you a small smile before she decides to just sit on the covers and wait to get underneath them until you get back. That way she won’t have to move more than once and she can let you get situated first so she’s not jostled.   She says this and you just nod before hurrying into the bathroom. You want to stand under the hot water for hours, but you rush through your normal routine because you’re anxious to get back to your wife. You know she has a million questions, and you want to try to answer as many of them as possible before going to sleep. You’re hoping that once she’s had time to think about what you’ve told her, she’ll understand why you want to approach Hela this way.   You only take about ten minutes before you’re changed into clean clothes and ready to head back to Wanda. You almost expect her to be asleep, or to see her with a dog on your side of the bed, but she’s just waiting for you patiently as she looks to her children.   “How are you feeling, Wands?”   You’re mostly talking about her arms because it’s hard to miss how stiff they are at her sides. You wonder how long she’s going to be in this much pain, and if there’s anything else that can be done for her. Wanda’s mind drifts back to the many revelations from this morning, and she shakes her head with a sigh before glancing toward your spot on the bed and then back to you.   “Honestly? I’m still a little shocked.”   You nod but don’t say anything as you obediently climb into bed. You pull back the covers before Wanda stands up so you can do her side as well. You get comfortable before holding the covers up for Wanda to crawl back in carefully. She plops down rather ungracefully without the use of her arms, but you just smile kindly at her blush before pulling the covers up to her waist.   “About what specifically, if you can choose a few to start?”   Wanda rolls her eyes at this before she glances to the two shepherds that are sitting at the foot of Natalya’s crib at the end of the bed. They’re both watching her carefully as they fight the urge to sleep like their sister. Wanda’s suddenly overwhelmed with gratitude for the duo that have seen you through a lot of rough years. She’s glad that you had the two of them by your side, especially in the dangerous situations, when she couldn’t be there for you. She knew they brought you comfort and that you loved them like you loved Natalya. She remembers how they’d both growled at her menacingly when she first met them and she’d hoped to never be around them again. She’s beyond grateful that she was so very wrong about this.   “Well I know you won’t give me the opportunity, but I would love to find Hela and shoot her in the face.”   You shouldn’t be smiling given that your wife is dead serious, but the idea of Wanda being in any situation where she’d be able to do that is a so farfetched you can’t help but be amused. Wanda’s shot a gun maybe 3 times since you’ve met her and it was mostly to make sure she could defend herself if needed. It had been at least a year since the last time she’d done it, but she’d done such a good job you didn’t push her to do more. You were only a little jealous and suspicious about her ability to have great aim without any practice, but you figured this was just another one of those things your wife excelled at.   Still, you didn’t want Wanda to be anywhere close enough to shoot Hela, regardless of how much you appreciate the sentiment.   “You’re right, I won’t, but thank you love, that means a lot. “
You consider not for the first time today how your trainwreck of a life had led you here to Wanda. You wouldn’t have guessed that you’d ever leave New York. You’d grown up there and gotten into school there, but you barely gave it any thought when you didn’t have much of a choice. Chicago seemed like a good escape destination because it was large and seemed easy to disappear among the masses. It had also been the farthest you could afford to go.   You’re not sure how you ended up being lucky enough to land in the same city as Wanda, but meeting the love of your life made the shadow of your former life seem a little bit shorter. Your memories of Hela faded away with each conversation or meeting with Wanda until she was just a thought at the back of your mind that emerged every so often while you were unconscious.   You start slightly when Wanda shifts so she’s closer to you. She’d love to hug you but her pain meds haven’t kicked in yet. She already feels drowsy, but she’s not lying down because she’s tired. She just wants to be close to you. You see your wife cringe and then hear her hiss quietly as she lies down and you’re not sure what you should do to make things easier for her.   “Is this okay?”
Wanda’s arm is draped carefully across your stomach and her head falls on your shoulder as she rolls toward you. You smile before kissing her hair and nodding in response. You resist the urge to hold the brunette tighter when she tries to relax a little more.   “What else, my love?”   You hear Wanda sigh before she simply shakes her head and closes her eyes. She doesn’t want to talk about this much longer since her anxiety is already starting to wear on her. She’s afraid she’ll dream of the other brunette if she’s the last thing you two talk about before falling asleep.   “How did you get that black eye, detka?”   You had honestly almost forgotten about it at this point. You were very good a repressing traumatizing experiences, and being in jail was definitely one of those. You reach up to touch the bruise around your left eye, but it doesn’t even hurt that much anymore. Not compared to the stiffness in your neck at least.   “I met some friends in jail and we had a spat over pillows.”
Wanda wants to say that you’re joking, but you sound so serious about it that she has doubts. You can practically hear the gears in her head going as she tries to work this out and you take pity on her. You’ve thrown a lot at your wife today, and you should do a better job of explaining it. She’s tired and in pain. You need to be nicer to her.   “I’m serious. She wanted me to sleep on the ground so I punched her in the face.”   Wanda can’t help but laugh at this despite the idea of you being in jail lonely and anxious makes her sad. She’s glad to see that you’re feeling better now that you’re home, and she has to remind herself that this break, albeit short, is good for both of you.   “Oh, I hope that was the worst you had to deal with, Y/n.”   You sigh as you start to play with Wanda’s hair and think back to your honestly short stint in prison. You hadn’t enjoyed any of it, but the worst part by far was getting that call from Bucky about what happened at the restaurant. You hate that Wanda got hurt and you wish more than anything to take her pain from her.   You hold your wife a little tighter without realizing it, but luckily Wanda doesn’t seem to mind.
“The worst by far was having Bucky tell me you got hurt. I was so worried about you, Wands.”   You feel Wanda shiver slightly as she thinks about the fire that had burnt her so badly just a couple of days ago. She misses you pulling the covers further up her body as she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. Despite the incredible pain she’d felt, she was and still is grateful that no one else had gotten hurt. If she’d been holding Natalya at the time she’s not sure what would have happened. It makes her worried about cooking with her daughter again, but she has a feeling it will be a while until she’s back at the restaurant anyway.   “It was scary. I could smell the alcohol as I poured it, but I couldn’t do anything before it exploded. I’m just glad no one else got hurt.”   You can’t argue with this but your lips fall downwards as you think about Hela sneaking into Wanda’s kitchen and switching out a bottle of oil for alcohol. Anyone could have picked up that bottle while cooking, but Hela had to have known that it would be Wanda. Why did she want to hurt your wife?   The answer to this question is one you can’t consider right now. You’re so strung out already at the thought of her being nearby that considering her goals beyond something vague like revenge is too much at the moment. You take a deep breath before shaking the thoughts of Hela trying to get rid of her competition from your mind. You feel your eyes grow heavy and you almost miss what Wanda says next as you teeter toward unconsciousness.   “Did you mean what you said earlier, Y/n?”   Your mind has too many thoughts flying around and slamming into each other for you to know what Wanda’s talking about so you only frown in response. Your wife’s looking at you and decides to elaborate upon seeing your confusion.   “About being around more for Natalya? And me?”
You feel your heart clench at how hopeful Wanda sounds and you hate yourself for allowing this to happen. The mere idea of you being present for your family is something you always thought was going to be a given. You’d make them a priority and everything else was going to be secondary. That’s what you’d thought your marriage would be, but knowing that you’d truly failed at this and your wife is so desperate for what you promised her makes you sick. You thought when you got sober that you had reached a plateau. You would continue to avoid drinking, but it would still be on your mind a variable but controllable amount. You’d thought this was an accomplishment and it certainly was quite an improvement from years prior.   You wonder when you’d gotten so complacent with your anxiety and decided that long work hours, stress and misery were better than dedicating yourself fully to your family.   You ignore the tears rolling down your cheeks as you breathe in deeply before nodding in confirmation. You’re going to get out a soon as you can, and you don’t care about how much money you’ll lose. If keeping your family safe means moving far away and starting over, you’ll do it for a chance to prove that you can be more attentive.   “Yes, Wands. I promise once all of this blows over, I’ll do better.”   She watches with a frown as men drag away their dead comrades through the front door of the drafty building she’d taken over. She can see the pile of bodies through the sprawling windows on the second floor and she sighs at the thought of losing necessary manpower. Her heels click against the cement floor as she paces back and forth waiting for them to finish up this task.   Hela had found herself in Chicago under unfortunate circumstances, but she believed things were changing in her favor. She’d left NYC when her empire had imploded for several reasons that she wouldn’t take the blame for. The corrupt police, a persistent rival, and her refusal to negotiate led her to seek asylum in a faraway city. Her goal had been to land somewhere that she could lay low for a while before finding another faction to lead. She had chosen Chicago for many reasons, but after only a week of being here she realized she’d made the perfect choice.   She’d heard whispers of the current leaders of the mobs she wanted to run with, and when someone had described something vaguely familiar, she’d had to look further. Learning that you’d escaped here all those years ago and taken after her was a shock to say the least, but this was quickly overshadowed by her glee at unintentionally finding the one toy who got away.   When Hela had first seen you, she almost wept with joy. You were a sight to behold as you worked quickly yet efficiently with the various arms of your business. She’d watched you for a week and had immediately begun planning her return to your life. She wanted you to feel a sense of impending doom as she snuck back into your life at the worst possible time. Her plan had been to get you in jail at least for a little while as she preyed on your employees and instilled doubt in how well you could protect them. Going after your wife had been a fringe benefit once she’d realized you were married. She’d overheard you mentioning a ‘Wanda’ several times to the man who followed you around everywhere.   At least you’d taken that lesson of hers to heart.   She debated on how to catch your attention, but targeting Wanda while you were in jail seemed like the perfect way. She hadn’t wanted to kill her because that would be too easy, and this could come later if everything went according to her plan.   She looks up when she hears someone call for her from downstairs, and she just eyes them expectantly until they speak up again.   “We’re all set down here, ma’am. What would you like us to do next?”   Taking over this sad little building with maybe a couple dozen people in it was just the start of her conquest. She smiles down at the man in body armor before waving him upstairs. He takes them two at a time before coming to stop a few feet away from her. He’s tall and built like a brick wall which has come in handy multiple times before. She reaches into her pocket to grab a sealed envelope that she needs someone to deliver.   “Tell the others that we’re heading to our next stop soon after we drop off the new recruits. Then I need your help with a special errand, Skurge.”
The man just nods before he heads back downstairs to deliver the message. Hela smiles to herself as she turns the envelope over in her hands with a sigh. She wonders if you’ll even recognize her handwriting after all this time. She wishes she could see your face when you open it, but she has to be patient. Although she’s eager to see you face to face again, she can’t rush things. She has to finish preparations for your meeting before summoning you with the best chances of succeeding.
“Soon, darling.”
“I don’t even…”  “I know, it’s a lot, but we have to try to get ahead of her. Or at least catch up.”   Nat’s on the phone with her sister almost as soon as she gets in the car. She’s still reeling from what you’d told her this morning, and despite the anger she feels at this woman for what she did to you, she reminds herself of what she needs to do. She has to wait for an update from Bucky before starting any concrete plan for seeking her out and stopping her from causing any more damage that she’ll have to clean up later. She still has people out searching for the team of assassins that Hela had sent after her sister.   Yelena’s silent for a full minute as she tries to step into the brunette’s shoes. If she came back here for you then it would make sense that she wants to hurt your family and your support system. Shooting up a deal makes less sense unless of course Hela wants to cause unrest and swoop in and take over as she becomes your shaken employees’ savior. There are a lot of possibilities, and she only just begins to consider that she and the rest of your family will be targeted next.   “Sestra, let’s assume that this woman wants Y/n back. If it’s us against her militia, we’re going to need to be better prepared.”   Nat had thought of this as well and on such short notice she’s not sure how much she can do. She’ll look into getting new body armor, but she might have to just make do with her decade old gear she’d stolen from her time serving overseas. Bucky and Steve had their own, but neither you nor Yelena had your own. She knew it would be a waste of her time and energy to try and get her sister to sit this out. She was stubborn to a fault and Nat would just have to talk to Kate about it and see what she said.   Nat arrives to her sister’s place and she’s not surprised to see the blonde waiting outside for her. She’s leaning against her door with two of her three dogs standing beside her as she spends some time outside for the first time since she’d been forced into a lockdown.   “I’ll get someone started on that, but first how are you?”   Nat jumps out of the car and the two giant dogs start to wiggle their butts in excitement, their little tail nubbins wagging back and forth. She reaches out to pet them after she hugs her tense sister who just groans in response. She opens the door and lets the dogs go first before following them inside. She looks to Kate who is sitting at the kitchen table working on something. She’s dressed comfortably as she curls up in her seat and shoots her fiancée a glare for what she says next.   “I feel fine. I should have been there this morning for this.”   Kate holds back from responding to this because she knows it will lead to an argument that she doesn’t want to have again. Especially not in front of Yelena’s sister.
“Hey, Nat. Good to see you.”   Nat smiles in response before she watches her sister head to the kitchen and grab a bottle that had already been sitting out and a couple of glasses. Nat’s about to object because she has a lot to do today, and she’s pretty sure her sister is on painkillers, but Yelena just shakes her head. She moves so she’s sitting next to Kate, but the stool she’s on is a good few feet away before she sets everything down.   “I know you’re in the middle of something, Kate Bishop, but you might want to hear some of this. It might affect you too.”   Kate seems a little confused but she simply closes her laptop without a word as she watches Yelena pour two shots worth into the glasses she’s brought over. She pushes them toward her fiancée and sister before drinking from the bottle. Kate sighs and Nat rolls her eyes as she waits to see if Yelena will explain her presence. After a few seconds of her still drinking later Nat decides to take the lead. She can’t help but smile as Kate yanks the bottle from the blonde’s hands.   “So Y/n is out of jail now, but apparently the person responsible for the attack, Jacobs’ murder, and sending Y/n to jail is her ex.”   Kate’s jaw had dropped slightly when Nat said this, but after telling an abbreviated version of the events from over a decade ago, it was all the way to the ground. She wondered what your plan was for only a few seconds before Yelena asked for her.   “Is Y/n going to talk to her? Does she have a plan yet?”   Only Kate notices as Rose and Dorothy leave their side to walk over to the door. She doesn’t understand why until she sees a shadow pass in front of the window. A tall shadow.   “Um, guys. Are you expecting anyone?”   Nat sits up straight and Yelena jumps to her feet when she hears the dogs start to growl. The blonde grabs a gun and looks to the monitors in the corner to see who might be outside. They hadn’t heard a car but she also hadn’t been paying close attention. She was more focused on the wild story that she was not even close to understanding.   “There’s no one out there.”   Nat stands to help her sister move the dogs as she ducks her head outside once she’d made sure it’s clear. As suspected, there’s no one around, but Rose sneaks out the door and starts to bark loudly as she sniffs the welcome mat. It’s one that you’d gotten her as a gag gift once she’d finished renovating the place. Given that Yelena was a not-so-closeted horror fan, you knew she’d appreciate it. When Nat manages to lead Rose back inside, she sees that there’s an envelope covering Pennywise’s face.   Nat beats her to it and she leans over to pick it up with a frown. It’s addressed to you and Nat has to resist the urge to rip it open. She hands it to her sister before walking back inside and shutting the door. She wonders who’d dropped it off. Why was it brought here?   “Let’s get this to Y/n.”   Wanda’s woken up by the sound of Natalya’s cries only a couple hours later. She sighs as she starts to shift so she can get up, but she stops short when she realizes that you’re on top of her. You’ve wrapped your arms around her waist and your face is buried in her stomach as you sleep peacefully. She realizes that you must be pretty tired because you don’t stir even when she near shouts at you. Wanda sighs in defeat before she reaches out to run her finger through your hair and she shakes you a little in hopes of waking you up so she can check on her daughter.   “Y/n, wake up.”   You’re dreaming about your 21st birthday when Wanda tries to wake you up. Your grip on her tightens as you remember how you’d been shocked by the invitation to go out to dinner. You’d been afraid to say no and you were right to be, but for once it wasn’t violence that was waiting for you. Hela had told you about her plans to get you more involved in her business. She knew you weren’t interested, but she wanted to change that and hopefully train you so you could become her literal partner in crime one day.   You’d been reluctant to agree despite knowing what your refusal would cause, but the idea of becoming more involved and having to spend more time with Hela made you nervous. You’re just telling her that you’re not so sure about the idea, and her expressionless mask that she’d used to cover up her fury was the last thing you saw before you returned to consciousness.   “Y/n, I need you to get up.”   You groan as you hear your wife’s voice accompanied by your daughter crying nearby. You didn’t realize that you’d shifted so much in your sleep until you try to sit up and you hear Wanda hiss above you. You’d jostled her and grazed her arm as you pushed yourself up, and your eyes snap open before you carefully jump out of bed.   “Shit, sorry. Did I hurt you?”   Wanda just shakes her head and starts to sit up, but she stops short when you turn to grab Natalya. You look to your two dogs who are looking at your crying daughter expectantly before reaching into the crib and squishing your fussy baby’s cheeks.   “Hey little one. What’s wrong?”   Wanda watches as you pick up Natalya and cradle her in your arms with a smile. You start to bounce her and hum something under your breath before you smell something that makes your nose scrunch up in disgust.   “I see, or smell, what’s wrong. Let’s get you changed, hmm?”   You look to Wanda who seems like she’s about to get up, but you shake your head before turning to her with a smile.   “It’s okay, Wands. I’ve got it. I’ll be back in a few. Is there anything you need?”   Wanda just shakes her head before watching as you disappear with Natalya and Boone toward the nursery to grab a new diaper. Rogue stays with her and decides to come sit beside her with a yawn. She reaches out for him and he licks her hand before rubbing his head on it. She can’t help but jerk back when pain flares up, and she immediately regrets it as her bandage rubs uncomfortably against her burn.   “Shit!”   Rogue whines but Wanda only sighs as she shoots him a sad look. She’s hoping that once she gets out of her bandages her arms won’t hurt so much, but she’ll have to just see. She listens carefully for any sign that you need help, but she just hears your quiet murmurs as you talk to your daughter while you change her diaper. She simply sighs as she closes her eyes again and tries to relax. She’d had a relatively restful sleep, but now that she was awake her anxiety was beginning to rise again. Did she really want you to have to face your tormenter again? Despite the time that’s passed, it can’t be easy for you to see her and Wanda can’t help but want to protect you. She’s wondering if there’s any chance, you’ll let her go with you when she hears your phone beep from nearby.   Wanda sighs as she stands up and walks around the bed to make sure it’s nothing important. She frowns when she sees the message from Nat that has an attachment.   Do you want us to open this? It was dropped off at Yelena and Kate’s.    The picture is of an envelope that has your name written on it in neat cursive. She doesn’t recognize the handwriting, not that she’d thought she would, but she has a feeling that she knows who this is from anyway. She hears you whistling from down the hall and it’s only a few seconds later that you appear in the doorway with a glass of water in one hand and Natalya on your hip.   “I brought you this in case you were thirsty. I also started on lunch, if you’re hungry?”   Wanda still has your phone in her hand, and when you notice this, you can’t help but stiffen slightly. You’re not ready to face whatever else that Hela’s going to throw at you, but you’re sure that days or even months couldn’t prepare you.   “What’s up?” You walk around the bed to where Wanda’s standing and you trade your phone for the glass of water. You read the text and your blood pressure starts to rise, so you take a deep breath before shaking your head. You should have known you wouldn’t even get the day with your wife before something came up. You had said earlier that you wouldn’t delay the inevitable, but as you look at the letter that Hela’s dropped off with your friends you can’t help but want to do exactly that.
“She didn’t waste any time, did she?”   You text Nat back that it would be fine for her to open it and send you a picture or video of what it says. About ten seconds later, you have a picture of the letter and you sit down on the bed with a sigh as you read it.   “Y/n, Y/l/n, please meet me at the location below on Saturday at 6pm. I’d love the chance to make up for lost time. God what a creep.”   Wanda’s too stressed to laugh at your attempt at a joke as she watches you imagine crumpling it up a scowl. You already saw the address and you know it’s one of your properties, so now you have even more to worry about. You decide to text Bucky and see how his fact-finding is going. You need to know how things look with the business before making any sort of plan to meet Hela. You need to be as prepared as possible, but even though you know that the brunette will have surprises for you.   Wanda just watches as you consider how to handle this. It’s Thursday today so you’ll have almost two full days to prepare for this visit. She hates that she knows you’re going to take her up on her invitation, but it’s unavoidable. Wanda’s still trying to come to terms with everything you told her, but it’s a lot of information to process in a short amount of time. What she’s most concerned with is the fact that you were clearly hurt by this woman. She had shaped bits of your personality, the paranoia, the underlying self-consciousness and the need to overcompensate…Wanda just wanted to be sure that you would be able to see her and not suffer too much from it.   The idea of you becoming a submissive punching bag did not sit well with her, and she’s still trying to figure out how to delay this meeting when you speak up.   “Ready for lunch?”   Wanda can’t stop herself from shooting you an incredulous look. How can you pretend to just ignore this and carry on with your day? She knows you well enough to recognize your defense mechanism, but this time Wanda can’t just wait it out. She needs to make sure you both are prepared for what comes next. If Hela is still anything like what you told them, they were in for a hell of a ride.   “Y/n, what about Hela? Are you going to meet her, or...?”   Wanda follows you as you take Natalya into the kitchen for lunch. You didn’t have to make much at all because the fridge was full of leftovers from dinner last week. You had simply heated some things up, and you were looking forward to eating when Hela decided to try and ruin your fucking day. You’re warring between your desire to ignore her letter for the day, and your need to assuage your wife’s anxieties. You think about how you’ve been thrown in jail and then almost thrown from a car in the past week. That said, your wife hasn’t exactly had it easy since you left either. You look to her arms as you put Natalya in her high chair that you’d already set up with a bottle and some snacks for her.   “I’ve asked Bucky to get back to me about how things are going, and then I’ll figure it out from there.”   The vague answer is far from satisfying to your wife who has barely any idea what you mean by ‘how things are going’. Wanda can’t help but frown as she sits down and considers how to help feed Natalya. You’ve run to the kitchen to retrieve your plates, and Wanda smiles at her baby before she grabs the already warm bottle.   “I can do that, Wands.”   Wanda doesn’t respond immediately because she’s too focused on what she’s doing. She knows that it would be easier and faster for you to do it, but she doesn’t want to be completely useless. You’ve already woken up and changed Natalya, it was her turn to do something. Her determination only lasts until little Nat tries to grab the bottle and Wanda has to move quickly to keep it from spilling. She hisses under her breath, but she still shakes her head as you move forward to help her. You set the two plates down and sit down beside Natalya, but you stop short from reaching out when Wanda speaks up. You want to help, but you also don’t want to disrespect her by taking this from her.   “It’s okay, Y/n. I can’t always rely on your help.”   It’s not supposed to be a dig, but you feel yourself deflate at the words as soon your wife says them. You don’t say anything in response and Wanda realizes that she’s offended you as soon as you just turn your attention back to your lunch. You put Wanda’s plate in front of her before you stare at yours before taking a sip of your water like you wish it were something else.   “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. “   Your mind is drifting back to how you’d basically admitted to your wife and brother-in-law that you were being a shitty wife and mother. You aren’t going to take it back because it was true, but you had to swallow your pride if you hoped to make things better any time soon. You just nod at what Wanda says before offering her the answer she actually wants to hear.   “I’ll call Hela first and see if I can get an idea of what she wants before having to meet with her.”
You are pushing your food around your plate as Wanda finishes up feeding Natalya and you only take a bite once you realize your wife is watching you. You figure that as soon as you have a better idea of what’s happened in your absence you will be better prepared to talk to Hela. Maybe you are just using it as a convenient excuse to delay the inevitable. It’s not like you think this phone call will go well at all.   Wanda watches you eat for a bit before she grabs her own fork. She’s hungry but the idea of everything you’re going to have to face is quickly stealing her appetite. She eats a little before she’s glancing back at you to see you seem lost in thought. You’re thinking about how easy it will be to fall back into the role you once held at Hela’s side. You’d been terrified, insecure and painfully submissive in an attempt to avoid punishment. This wasn’t who you were anymore and despite fearing what she has planned, you try to convince yourself that you’ll be able to handle it. You won’t go back to what she wants from you no matter what.   “Will you be okay seeing her again?”   It’s arguably the most important question she can ask right now, and seeing how you’re so distraught simply thinking about her makes Wanda skeptical. She doesn’t want to underestimate you, but there’s a lot riding on your ability to handle Hela in the right way. You certainly know her best, and this clearly puts them at an advantage, at least that’s what she’s hoping. She can’t really pretend to understand how to know how you’ll be able to deal with this. She’s never been in a situation like the one you were in, and trying to wrap her mind around it would just be exhausting and she’d certainly still fall short of understanding.   As always, her first priority was the family and she needed to do all she could to make sure they were safe. This includes making sure you’re in the best frame of mind possible to deal with your toxic ex.   You think about Wanda’s question for a while before you release a sigh. You abandon your food to grab a towel from the stack you keep in the kitchen to burp Natalya. She’s got that look on her face that tells you she needs it. You’re grateful that she should be growing out of it soon because this can sometimes be a gross job.   You pick up your daughter and walk to the living room where you can still see Wanda, but you’re giving her a little distance in case Natalya is particularly productive.   “I don’t think I can answer that. As much as I want to say yes, or that I’ll try to be ready…”   You trail off as you hear Boone come up to you with a whine. You smile at him but continue burping your daughter as you look back to see your wife’s become tense. You can hardly blame her given the situation and you finish your thought that you’re sure isn’t going to make her feel much better.   “I think that no matter what I do, she’ll find a way to catch me off guard.”
