[wait-what-was-i-going-to-say]

So there was a power outage in my area last night

I think it worried my mom a little

She realized we have basically no emergency lights that aren't packed away with camping gear

She bought each of us lamps to keep in parts of the house today. Called me upstairs with the most serious "the school js called to tell me you've been the worst student ever and I think you are a total utter failure" type of voice, only to tell me "this is the basement emergency light now. Keep it by the stairs." Then walk away😭

Can you write paige and azzi as best friends ,but they like very touchy ,they give each other goodnight kisses ,they call each other "baby" "mama" "mami etc.

This idea is so cute. I might have to make another part. Hope you like it! Might be a little cringe I can’t tell. But I love cute stuff like this.

————————————————————————

“Best Friends”

1.

“Mama, can I come in?” Paige says, knocking lightly on Azzi's bedroom door.

It was finally spring break. After months of only interacting through FaceTime and text messages, they could actually be together again. But Paige’s best friend seems to have a different idea of how to spend their first day at the Fudd’s lake house. Something about wanting to get her an assignment out of the way for some asshole teacher who thought it was a good idea to give work during break. It sounded like a dumb idea to Paige who just wanted to be in her friend's skin.

So here she was begging for her attention.

“Please baby I’ll be quiet, I promise”

“Just let me love you”

“Why do you hate me”

Azzi was just trying to finish this assignment so she could do nothing but hang out with Paige for the rest of the break. She thought that was reasonable but apparently, it wasn’t. 

Because Paige was now pleading at her door, sounding like she would cry if she didn’t let her in. Azzi was never good at ignoring Paige especially when all she wanted was to pull her into her lap and love on her too.

“You can come in, Paigey”

The door opened softly.

“Are you sure, Ma?”. Azzi had never seen someone 6 feet tall look this small.

“Come here, baby”, Azzi said, pushing her chair away from her desk and patting her lap.

Like a switch flipped Paige bolted into her lap.

“You're such a baby,” Azzi said with no malice, pushing her hand up Paige’s shirt rubbing her back.

“I’m your best friend, you have to deal with it,” Paige said, shoving her head into the brown skin girl’s neck.

Shivering a little due to the feeling of the blonde’s breath on her neck Azzi lets out a soft “Yea you are”

Now Paige might be a little clouded by the fact that she’s in love but she swears she heard a little disdain in her voice.

——————————————————————

2.

It was like 10 pm. Azzi had just finished doing her night routine and was finally comfortable in her bed when her best friend decided it was the perfect time to bust into her room.

“Scoot over, mama,” Paige said, sitting on the edge of the bed, pushing Azzi's waist.

Not even opening her eyes, Azzi moves further towards the wall. “You always come in here like you own the place”

“What’s yours is mine, Ma” Paige says as she climbs onto her friend shoving her hands up the hoodie Azzi stole from her at some point.

Flinching, Azzi quickly started rubbing their hands together. “Your hands are freezing, baby”

“I’m colddd” 

Pulling the blanket up over Paige, wrapping it tightly around her. Their bodies pushed together like puzzle pieces. Like they were made for each other.

“You okay, Paigey?” Azzi asks after a few minutes of silence.

“Mhm, I just don’t want to sleep alone,” Paige said, snuggling even deeper into her.

“When do you ever?” Azzi says laughing.

“Why would I when you spoil me like this” tilting her head out of her hiding place in Azzi's neck.

“You spoil me too, baby”

Softly kissing her neck Paige says “You’re a princess you deserve to be spoiled”.

Blushing softly and thankful for the darkness of her room, Azzi laughs to cover up the way her breath catches. “What would I do without someone to get me smoothies, let me steal their clothes, and give me kisses goodnight”.

“I’d do anything to repay the love you give me on a daily basis”

Fuck.

God Azzi was in love with her best friend.

Freaking out inwardly all Azzi could do was place soft kisses on Paige’s forehead.

“Goodnight, Mami,” Paige says, kissing Azzi’s cheek dangerously close to her lips.

Kissing the blonde’s nose Azzi softly whispers “Goodnight, baby”.

We've been blessed with Gaz taking care of a sick Ghost, but what do you think about a situation of Price taking care of a sick Soap? 👀

-ttt (who may or not be sick right now with a cold and loves a good comfort sick care fic🤧)

yes very very cute. It's a bit short sorry lol. I'm sleepy. Art at the end!!

Price glanced up from his paperwork as the door creaked open, and Soap walked in brandishing a stack of papers. “Finally finished all the fucking shitty paperwork ye gave me, if you give me more I'll bloody shank ye”

Price huffed a laugh, taking the papers, bopping soap on the head with them. “Don't be threatening your captain Mactavish” he chided putting the papers on his desk.

He turned back to the scot, frowning slightly. Soap wasn't looking good. His eyes were a little red, he was pale and swaying slightly on his feet, and when Price looked a little closer, he saw the others hands shaking.

He chewed on his lip as he debated it. As a friend, he was worried, and wanted to care for his friend. But as a professional and captain, he might be crossing lines.

But as he watched Soap sneeze and then wince as if the sneeze had caused him pain, Price knew he couldn't just professionally drop it.

“Mactavish, you solid?”The scot startled slightly looking up at Price.

“Uhm yeah… yeah I'm okay Cap”

Well that was bullshit. Soap looked like he may collapse if the wind blew too hard. And Soap clearly knew it was bullshit.

“Would you like to try that again? Because that was false”

Soap winced “Right sorry..” he chewed over his words “Uhm… I'm just a bit off.. think ay got a cold…’ts no big deal sir”

“Oh don't bullshit me. You are shaking, you should be resting”

Soap pulled a face, somehow still fighting while being sick. “Ay am fine Price! Christ ye acting like… a bloody.. mother hen ye numpty…” He trailed off at the end, and Price barely had time to stick out his hands, catching the sergeant as his legs gave out.

Price quickly wrapped his arms around the waist, holding the other up. “Mactavish seriously?”

The man in his arms groans, pushing himself back to his feet.“I-....sorry sir.. I'll be okay”

Okay? Price looked at him incredulously. The man was barely standing and had the gall to say he'd be okay?

“You need to rest, Mactavish, and I don't trust you'll rest if I tell you too. So you are coming with me”

The scot stammered in confusion but let himself be dragged towards the captains quarters. “I..wha- but…. Okay..” he finally conceded.

When they arrived at Price's room he gently pushed the other onto the bed, Soap not having the energy to argue, laying down and drifting off.

Over the next few hours he stirred a few times but never woke up, until Price was just beginning to wonder if he would be sleeping on the couch, when the sergeant woke, mildly delirious.

“I'm colddd” he whined at price, who was holding back a chuckle, while walking over.

He sat on the edge of the bed, before letting out an undignified squeak as Soap pulled him down. “Warm.”

Price blinked as soap clung to him, considering his options. He could easily push the other off. Soaps' grip was weak, and he couldn't fight.

But he just couldn't bring himself to. Soap was so vulnerable right now. And in this state he choose to seek out Price.

He sighed pulling his shirt off and sliding under the covers letting Soap rest on his chest, Soap immediately snuggling in.

This wasn't the worst thing ever.

And if when morning came and Price didn't want to wake soap so he simply read the reports with the other on him, who would know?

If anyone can identify what the wallpaper is, kudos. I wanna see if anyone gets it

Star crossed lovers (Jude Bellingham fic)

Chapter 18

(Series Link)

Jude * female reader. Mature Language in parts.

Synopsis: A chance encounter in a tiny Madrid cafe with the newest superstar of her fav club. The two couldn't be more different, yet both feel the pull toward the other. Would this girl be the one he finally falls for? Or would life come in the way of these star-crossed lovers?

..........................................................

Ananya woke up the next morning, with Jude holding her close. Still on their sides, facing each other, his arm on her waist and one of his legs resting in between hers. Only difference being he was on the end of his pillow now, not hers.

She sighed & looked at his peaceful resting face, a picture of perfection. His features soft yet sharp. Manly yet boyish. The dichotomy never failed to amaze her. God must truly be proud of this particular creation of his.

He was here. He was really here. Not a figment of her imagination that she had conjured up in her despair yesterday.

Slowly, she traced his cheek with the back of her index finger. Rest of him was just hard muscle, but his face was soft. The skin feeling warm & squishy under her touch. He stirred a little, but his breathing evened again, and she resumed her exploration.

The trim seemed fresh, suiting him perfectly, but it was a tad too fine on the sides. She made a mental note of telling him that.

Her finger slid to his firm, muscly neck, lingering there. Something about his neck always did things to her. His pronounced Adam’s Apple always catching her attention. 

She could do this all day, just admire his beauty & soak in his presence. Especially after yesterday, when she had nearly lost it all. Again. 

‘Ummm colddd.’

Her hands were somehow always colder than the rest of her body, even under a blanket. Jude often called it a mystery.

Keeping his eyes still firmly shut, he reached for her palm blindly and then put it inside his sweatshirt, on his chest, warming it with his body heat. The gesture turning her into mush. She was about to hug him dearly but Jude being Jude said something wildly unexpected before that.

‘So you touch me often while I sleep?’

She stilled, gaping at him. He peeped one eye open, while rubbing sleep out of the other one. Even half-asleep he was notorious.

‘W-what?’

He scooted closer on the pillow, noses touching, as his lips curved up into a half-smirk.

‘Where all do you touch me?’

‘JUDE.’

‘Can I do it to you too?’

‘Stop right n..’

‘Imagine waking up with my head between your legs, huh? Or my hand? Bet you’d like it.’

‘YOU LITTLE ASS.’

‘Nothing about me is little, darling. You of all people should know it. And definitely not my ass, you love it.’

‘I hate it.’

‘Lies on Christmas? What would Santa say?’

‘Santa would understand, since I have to deal with a demon like you.’

‘Please, you adore me.’

‘Let me go.’

She struggled to get out of his hold but his grip was tight and his booming laugh quickly eroded the fight in her (plus she never actually wanted to get out of his arms, not really), making her giggle too at the silliness of it. The sound was music to his ears.

Jude buried his head in her hair.

‘Merry Christmas Eve, darling.’

His accent was somehow thicker in such moments, each word ringing distinctly in her head.

‘To you too, Jude!’

She knew he had done this to lighten the mood, and she was secretly thankful. Her emotions were still all over the place after yesterday, and were threatening to bubble over any instant. 

Ananya turned in his arms, facing him again, and was met with a charming, dashing grin. The boy should just be illegal, head to toe. She couldn’t help herself from reaching over and kissing his cheek.

‘When did you know?’

‘Know what?’

Jude knew very well what she was asking but he loved to play this game with her.

She rolled her eyes loudly and he quit the teasing.

‘Sometime after the dinner with the three of us. I think Jobe said something which I couldn’t stop thinking about, and then one thing led to another. I knew that night.’

‘So without him you won’t have realised?’

‘Sometimes I need help with these things. But honestly, I think I’ve loved you long before. That night just put things in perspective.’

‘Hmm.’

‘Don’t leave me hanging now. Tell me about you, when did you know?’

Flashes of that night came to her mind, when she had nearly blurted it out unknowingly. She told him she didn’t know the exact moment either but that was when she realised. Jude remembered that night. He knew something was off when she had dashed to the washroom like that but could never imagine the reason to be this. Until now.

‘I guess, somehow without me realising, you just clawed your way into my heart.’

‘I’m quite a clawer for what I really want.’

‘Clearly.’

They fell into a comfortable silence, her head lying on his chest, listening to the soothing rhythmic beating of his heart. While his fingers threaded through her hair.

‘I love dove.’

She looked up then.

‘Dove is love. So lovey dovey. Look it all fits. I’m so creative.’

‘You’re so silly is what you are.’

‘Pls, you’re jealous of my genius.’

‘Sure.’

‘Where’s my Christmas present?’

‘It’s….in the works.’

He looked at her suspiciously. But how was she supposed to know things would materialise in this way? She had assumed she would have more time till she saw him again, before her trip to India. 

‘Honestly, I didn’t forget. It’s in the works.’

‘Gimme a hint?’

‘In a way it’s similar to yours. In a way.’

‘You’re writing something? Making something?’

‘Yes.’

‘Oh I CAN NOT wait.’

‘Soon, baby.’

‘You’ll beat me, won’t you? It’s gonna be better than mine?’

‘Gosh it’s not a competition. And for the record, nothing could be better than yours. Not in a million years.’

‘Now that you say it..’

He preened a little under her praise and she found even that endearing. God help her!

But something was nagging her, something that she needed to let out.

‘Jude.’

‘Yeah?’

‘I was too harsh yesterday. Some things I said….I’m sorry.’

‘You were angry & hurt. It’s not your fault. Plus you were mostly right.’

‘But still I…maybe shouldn’t have said a few things….I didn’t mean them.’

Her hand gripped his sweatshirt and she sank further into his chest. Jude cupped her face with one hand, while his other hand ran up & down her back.

‘Shhh. It’s ok. Just tell me this - at any point, did you really believe I’d walk out on you like that?’

She took a deep breath. In her attempt to alleviate the pain, she had tried to convince herself of a lot of things. But the answer to his question was clear.

‘No.’

‘And did you know I’d fight for you? Come back for you?’

‘Yes.’

‘That’s it then. That’s all I need - your love & trust. With that, we can get through anything.’

Overwhelmed, she snuggled into him, trying to crawl under his skin to get a load of his warmth and his scent. He held her tight through it.

‘Maybe we should talk about a few things though. Like what you said about my Insta likes.’

‘Now?’

‘Now’s as good a time as any.’

Reluctantly, she nodded, asking him to go on.

‘I thought about what you said. I’d be more mindful going forward. You won’t have any complaints. But if you do, will you please tell me then & there?’

‘Yes. Ok.’

‘It’s your right Ananya. You need to understand that. Believe that. Truly. You have a right over me, like I have a right over you.’

‘I hear you.’

‘Pls be more vocal with me. I need that. I’d love that. I’m not good at reading between the lines, you would have seen that by now. So pls help me there.’

‘I-I’ll try.’

‘Great. One more thing.’

‘What?’

‘Is the 100 Euro threshold still on?’

Ananya had set that as an upper limit for him to get her anything. This was her way to have a middle-ground to still let him get her stuff but nothing expensive.

‘What made you ask that?’

‘Because now we’ve said we love each other. And I wanna spoil you, like I do for the other people I love.’

She looked at him tentatively, and he knew the answer before she said anything.

‘I’d really appreciate it if we could stick to the threshold. For now.’

If Jude was disappointed, he didn’t let it show on his face.

‘Ok.’

‘Did I upset you?’

‘No, it’s fine.’

She reached out to cup his cheek. 

‘It’s not about you. Even with my parents, I haven’t taken a cent since I took up this job. And I don’t wanna take anything from them for my MBA also. Both Stanford and Harvard are expensive, but if I do well at work I’d get a full scholarship from my company. That’s why I applied for this team - more work, higher stakes but better incentives. Just trying to make my own way in this world and I am a bit of a stickler for that. And I get that you’re not trying to interfere with that in any form, that this is just your way to express yourself but pls give me some time to get accustomed to it. Also, it’s the gesture that counts right? Not the price tag.’

He turned his face to gaze his lips against her palm.

‘I respect that, really.’

‘Thank you.’

‘I’m glad you are telling me things like these, makes me feel closer to you.’

He had said that last night also. And she had felt it too. Strangely, this had not been an issue in her previous relationship. But somehow, with Jude, she hadn’t been able to communicate as effectively. For no fault of his.

Maybe because she didn’t feel inadequate with her ex. But with Jude, it was another story. Maybe, she should tell him that.

‘I-I saw her yesterday. Her pics.’

Jude sighed. He could already tell how she would have tortured herself in a thousand different ways and where all her mind would have gone.

‘Ok. And?’

‘And - I can’t be like that.’

‘Who’s asking you to be like that?’

‘Won’t you? At some point?’

‘Have I done anything to make you feel that way?’

‘No, but…’

‘But what?’

‘You’re 20 Jude. You may not know what you want.’

‘You’re 20 too.’

‘Yes. But age & maturity work differently in men & women. You said it yourself.’

Jude took a few deep breaths to calm his head before responding.

‘That maybe true. But I know that I want you just the way you are. And that my days of straying are over.’

‘Your friend had a different opinion.’

Jude looked at her with confusion and she referred to the video of his Dortmund friend Gio saying Jude would be the last person he’d want his sister to date, and that there were various reasons for that which he couldn’t get into.

‘Wow, stalking me much?’

She just shrugged.

‘Ananya, that was before us. And it was a joke answer to a hypothetical question.’

‘A joke answer based on some facts?’

Silence for 2 seconds.

‘Yes. But it’s in the past.’

‘Don’t wanna go back to that life? To just have fun?’

‘No. And I do have my fun with you.’

‘What changed?’

‘You. I met you.’

She looked at him with such a mix of earnestness and residual doubt that he felt like his heart would explode in his chest.

Jude kissed her lips for a good 30 seconds, calming both their nerves.

‘Baby, listen to me yeah? The kind of life & women you are talking about, I had that. In abundance. And I thought that would suffice for the next few years. That it would be ‘fun’ for the next few years. Till it's time to settle down. But somewhere along the way I started to get bored. It became just about some initial flirting then sex. And that was it, nothing after that. No conversation, no companionship, nothing. I didn’t even spend the night in the same bed, didn’t want to. There was no one to come home to. No one to talk to after a good day or a bad day. No one to share my thoughts with. No one to take me away from reality when the day-to-day became too heavy. No partner. No confidante. No one to love. No one to spoil. No one to watch a movie with or share a laugh with. No one to anchor me. No one to understand what this game and this club means to me. And I didn’t really know of this void till I met you. Remember how we talked for hours on our first date? I don’t even recollect the last time I had that or even wanted that with anyone. But you - you changed everything. And I know you’d call it cheesy but I kinda just had this feeling about you, from the moment I saw you in that cafe.’

‘It is cheesy.’

‘Such a hater.’

She shrugged. Jude knew she didn’t believe in fairy tales any more but he also had a feeling there was a time when she did. Then it all changed, maybe after her breakup. Since then she had hardened her heart and strived to become more practical. But in time, she’d believe in destiny again. Because he had started to believe in it now, since he met her. It could only be destiny which made his mother suggest that cafe, for him to stop there that day and look out the window. And everything that transpired after that. He was convinced it was written somewhere. It was ironic, because it felt straight out of a movie. And Jude wasn’t particularly fond of these rom-coms  (while she loved them wholeheartedly). But the tables had turned and he’d become a believer now.

‘ANYWAY, like I was saying, it all changed with you. I keep repeating it like a broken record, and will probably do that till you actually believe it, that I’m completely obsessed with you. I love every side of you - smart, opinionated, headstrong, feisty, sweet, kind, thoughtful, shy, football fanatic, Madridista. Just everything. Never met anyone like you. You want me for me, not the other things that come with it. Heck you would have liked me a lot more easily had those things not been there. Do you understand how rare that is? I know the feminist in you would scoff at this but most women I’ve met want me for other things. It’s true, don’t look at me like that. And you know what’s the sexiest thing about you? That you actually have no clue how sexy you are. You’re like a sexy little kitten. When you talk on your work calls in words I don’t even understand, it gets me so hot I can’t explain. Many times I’ve considered just grabbing you then & there. Have pictured taking you on your office desk, or on a conference room table, right after a big presentation. Don’t know what witchcraft it is that you’re looking so alluring even in this baggy night-suit. The definition of temptation from the Garden of Eden. Why do you think guys hit on you? Why do you think that lee….that colleague of yours fell for you? Dove, I can’t wait to show you off to people whenever we decide to go public. You’re perfect for me, just as you are.’

Her eyes were lowered, as she clung to him while hearing him profess how desirable he found her in that disarming baritone of his. The colour starting to seep into her cheeks & neck.

Jude sighed loudly, cupping her cheek.

‘I think of this flush when I touch myself.’

She slapped his chest.

‘Shameless boy.’

‘What? Sharing things with my girlfriend is shameless? I’d call that healthy communication. You should try it sometime.’

‘Yeah right.’

‘No seriously. Tell me something about my ass. I know you check it out all the time.’

The confident smirk was on in full force now.

‘You really are a menace.’

‘Thank you.’

He chuckled, the sound & his pretty face making her smile too.

Jude leaned over to kiss her cheek and they snuggled into a comfy embrace again, his big arms engulfing her, neither wanting this moment to end. After a few seconds, curiosity got the better of him.

‘Dove?’

‘Yeah.’

‘You think I’m too possessive?’

‘Where did that come from?’

‘Just something you said yesterday.’

‘I never said that.’

‘Not directly. But felt like you implied it.’

She rose up slightly, leaning on her elbow, looking down at his waiting eyes. His face so open & transparent. In his closed circle, Jude really walked the talk of sharing everything. With him, what you see is what you get. He would just blurt out the most random of things sometimes but no one could call him secretive, not with the people he truly loved.

It made her want to share too. But words were hard to come by. Mostly because that phase of her life she had locked away somewhere in her heart, never to revisit. Never to mull over. 

‘I don’t mind it. In fact, I sorta like it. Shows me you care. It’s different from what I’ve…..experienced before.’

Jude knew where this was going, and he patiently waited for her to continue at her own pace. She looked away & chose to share one particular instance to show what she meant.

‘Once, we were in a club in Goa. After our final term got over. We were in a big group but the two of us had separated mid-way. I was waiting for him to get a drink from the bar. A guy came over, quite drunk, and asked me to dance with him. I said no and he walked away, no fuss there. When my boyfriend….ex boyfriend came back I told him this and he wasn’t bothered at all. In fact he was like you could try it out, it was just a dance, just an experience. I didn’t get it at all. Like I can’t explain, it wasn’t a big thing, not like he did something major but it just made me feel a little less wanted.’

She turned to look at him, he was still listening to her intently. 

‘I know you would never do that.’

‘Never.’

He responded without missing a beat. She smiled.

‘I know, and I like that.’

‘Well, I’m glad. Coz I don’t know how to be any different when it comes to you.’

She stroked his cheek softly.

‘You don’t need to be.’

He covered her hand with his, holding it there.

‘If you don’t mind, what happened there? With him?’

Her face dropped, and she buried her face into his neck, fingers playing with the fabric of his sweatshirt.

‘You don’t have to tell me, but tell someone. It feels like it’s weighing on you, and the weight will only grow with time.’

Jude was right. She hadn’t really talked about it in detail even with her close friends back home. Not even her cousin. The official line she had used was that they grew apart, not much beyond that. Locking it away seemed like the best choice at the time, because the separation made her weak and desperate and she hated to be in that state. Hated seeing herself like that. She never revisited it later because what if thinking about that made her weak again? It was much easier to just zone out of it. But that wasn’t particularly healthy. She was surprised though that Jude had caught on to that.

‘Listening to me talk about my ex is not weird for you?’

‘I want you to talk to me about anything you feel. Wanna be your friend too.’

‘Hmm.’

She considered that for a bit, while he gently ran his fingers through her hair. Somewhere along the way she started talking.

‘We always knew we were very different in personalities. And after a point it started bothering him, though in the beginning he always told me we’d find a mid-way. Honestly, I didn’t do enough to find a mid-way too, it was my fault as well, but at least I tried. After a point, when he thought it was too hard, he stopped trying. He loved me a lot, not denying that, but it came down crashing very quickly when he checked out mentally. Which is why he got over it quickly too, he’s very practical that way. Always told me to never get too attached to anyone and never have too many expectations. I was not his first love, he had his heart broken by his high-school crush, which made him practical. But he was my first love, my first in everything, and I fell head over heels. He told me many times to not make my life all about him, and he was right there, it’s not good for either party. But I understood all that a lot later, when he was at a point of no return. He never really looked back, and it was hard for me to handle. So I cut off from him and that set of friends completely. It was easier to not see him at all than to see him completely alright. When I was nowhere close to it. This was in April. I haven’t seen him or spoken to him since then. He’s not on socials so that makes it easier to cut off too. This wedding I’m going for would be the first time I see him in months. ’

It was all starting to make sense to Jude. Why she was the way she was and why she tried so hard to keep her guard up. 

That he was going to be at the wedding was not news to Jude, Ananya had told him well in advance. And it didn’t bother him. Well, mostly it didn’t bother him. 

‘I’m sorry you had to go through this.’

‘Hmm.’

‘Look at me.’

He tilted her chin to look into her moist eyes.

‘What did I say about tears?’

She wiped her eyes with the back of her arm.

‘Sorry.’

‘Baby - I’m sorry you had to go through this. But without that, you wouldn’t have come to Madrid and would never have met me.’

‘Yeah.’

‘It’s meant to be, I’m telling you.’

‘When did you become so cheesy?’

‘Your fault. You are doing things to me I don’t understand.’

‘Oh Jude.’

She turned to find his lips, kissing him dearly. He kissed back with equal fervour, flipping them to get on top of her.

The kiss became heated in no time and she knew where it would go if she didn’t stop him. So she rolled out from underneath him, leaving him high & dry, scooting away to the edge of the bed.

‘Excuse me?’

‘Excused.’

‘Thought we were having a moment there?’

‘We were. Then it ended.’

‘Thought I was punished enough yesterday. Clearly not.’

‘Told you I need some time.’

‘Fine.’

He sulked, tucking his arm under his head, watching her tidy up the room a bit.

‘Jude, you need to leave now.’

‘So you’re kicking me out also? Boy you’re cruel.’

‘It’s Christmas Eve. You need to be home. Now get up & leave. You promised.’

‘I said afternoon. It’s 11 am right now.’

‘Fine. Then go take a shower in Roma’s room, I’ll take one here & make some breakfast and then you will leave.’

‘Can I take a shower with you?’

She crossed her arms.

‘What do you think?’

He tried a different strategy.

‘Can I draw you a bath?’

She narrowed her eyes at him.

‘I’m good at those. Honest.’

‘Fine.’

He jumped up from the bed like a toddler who had been told he could skip school today, and headed straight to her washroom, banishing her from coming inside till he called her in.

When he did call her in, the place had turned into a mess but the bath-tub sure looked inviting, bubbles foaming well above it.

‘Thank you.’

‘I’ll help you get in.’

‘Didn’t know I needed help with that.’

‘Floor is wet. You need help.’

Amused, she decided to play along.

‘Fine.’

She tied her hair in a bun & took off her clothes. And Jude tried really hard to keep his eyes on her face. Really hard.

He extended his hand to her which she took, and he carefully guided her inside the tub. She hummed while sitting down, the hot bubbly water providing instant soothing.

‘Thank you Jude, this is lovely.’

‘I could help wash you with the loofah.’

She smiled. It was glaringly obvious what he was trying to do but it was cute as well.

‘Fine.’

He smiled wholeheartedly. And for a second she forgot what game he was playing.

Jude fetched the loofah and started with her arms, running it softly over her skin. She moaned a little, which was not helpful for his nether regions. He went to her legs and she moaned harder. Jude wondered if she was doing it on purpose to torment him but her eyes were shut and her face looked so innocent it couldn’t be so. 

Somehow, he carried on and moved to her back, but the angle was restrictive.

‘I could do it better if I’m inside.’

‘You wanna join me in the tub?’

‘Just to help wash you.’

‘Sure.’

Jude took off his clothes then, and she had to look away to not break her resolve. It didn’t help though, coz when he sat down he pulled her back to his front, and it was hard, so hard to remain unaffected. 

He continued the charade & rubbed the wet object down her front, paying special attention to her chest. She threw her head back & moaned, which made him groan too.

‘A little mercy here?’

‘This is your doing.’

Defeated, he carried on. The object tickled her tummy & she giggled a little. But the giggles died in her throat when he moved to her thighs. His actions slow & deliberate. Measured. 

‘Ju-de.’

‘Yeah baby? Want something?’

She whimpered as his hands continued going lower down her thighs, till the very apex of them. There, he stopped.

‘Don’t think this can go here, right?

‘Ermm no.’

‘Gonna have to use something else then?’

‘Y-yes.’

He threw the loofah away. And prodded at her sensitive folds with his long, strong fingers, pushing one inside her.

She shuddered & fell back against him, and his other arm came around her waist to support her.

‘Why deny yourself? Why not take what you want?’

He whispered in her ear. Despite being in hot water, her whole skin tingled with goosebumps.

The way his finger was filling her up made her head swirl. Her own touch wasn’t good enough anymore, since she had met him. It did nothing for her; her body ached for him whenever she had tried to tend to it last week. And now he was here. Offering to please her. How could she resist?

‘Yes? Say yes, baby.’

He punctuated that with perfectly timed thrusts of his finger, adding another one in, making it impossible to say no.

‘I love you.’

He cooed behind her. The words which were her ruin. Her undoing. 

‘YES. God yes.’

‘Such a good girl. Gonna take care of you now.’

His fingers moved gloriously inside her. Doing all kind of things to her insides. When he added his thumb to massage her sensitive spot, she shuddered violently and water fell from the sides of the bathtub, making him smile.

She needed more of him. Craved more of him.

‘Ju-de.’

‘Turn around. Hold my arm.’

He guided her carefully to turn and sit in his lap, bending her legs at her knees. She looked like a goddess, a wet naked Greek water goddess. 

‘Come here you.’

He grabbed the side of her face and pulled her in for a deep kiss, plunging straight in, pouring all his longing into it. She whimpered & tried to hold his arms or the side of the tub but it was all slippery & she couldn’t find an anchor. 

The bubbles were hiding her from him. It was a travesty. Jude picked them up in his palms & started throwing them out of the tub, making more of a mess on the floor than it already was. She wanted to protest but his eagerness was endearing. When he had cleared them enough and her torso was visible, he went for her neck & chest, biting & sucking with abandon. Her soft moans filled the room, he revelled in those sounds.

His large palms cupped her butt, kneading them with force, lifting them to lower her gradually on his length. The angle made her feel him deep inside, and she gasped all the way through. 

After going in fully, he gave her time to adjust. She panted a little, trying to find the right slot for her legs to find some balance. The cramped space & his large body not giving her much room. After adjusting to the heavy intrusion, she finally looked at his stunning face. Droplets fell off his sharp jaw sultrily, putting her in a trance. If there was something more erotic than naked Jude, it was naked Jude wet. She leaned over to steal a kiss of her own, going for his cheeks first, then the tip of his nose, then finally his lips.

‘My prince.’

She whispered softly, and he preened under her nickname. 

Feeling emboldened, she leaned in again but this time she bit his cheekbones instead, followed by the tip of his nose. He chuckled, and did the same to her, ending with little bites on her bottom lip.

Her hand traced his torso, starting with his muscly neck, moving to his chest hair, then his six-packs and finally his happy trail. The touch sending sparks through both of them. 

‘I can’t wait anymore.’

‘Who’s asking you to.’

With another quick kiss, he grabbed her hips and started moving her on top of him. The angle hitting all the right spots deep inside. He quickly found THE spot & made a beeline for it. She shuddered & mewled & thrashed against him but he didn’t relent, making her peak shortly after. The speed & intensity with which her pleasure was wrung out of her left her completely breathless & spent. But he wasn’t done yet. He kept moving her like a rag doll, stimulating her excessively, till he filled her up with shots after shots of his pleasure. Her clenching muscles squeezing him of every last drop.

She fell forward on his chest, and he held her like a precious flower, rubbing her back softly, pressing kisses to the top of her head.

‘That was….it was…’

‘Amazing? Breath-taking? Out of this world?’

He grinned against her forehead. Her hand reached up to caress his cheek.

‘Yes. Because you are all of those things.’

‘Look at you, being mushy in love.’

She met his playful eyes then.

‘You’re doing things to me I don’t understand either.’

‘Why thank you.’

‘You’re also incredibly silly and say the most inappropriate things at the most inappropriate times to completely kill the moment.’

‘But you still love me.’

‘Sadly, I do.’

It was getting late. She had to be the adult here. Grudgingly, she got out of his arms and out of the tub, leaving him behind to clean the mess while she made them some breakfast.

Jude entered the kitchen 10 mins later with water still dripping from his hair. She shooed him out, admonishing him for making a mess of the whole apartment.

Mumbling under his breath as to how she was so mean to him at times, Jude fixed his hair & the floor. Then plopped on the couch, one leg resting on the back of it.

He perked up when she emerged from the kitchen with two plates of French toast, a favourite for both of them. Jude pulled her next to him, and they ate side by side.

It was time. To leave.

‘Call Agnes. You’re going to the airport now.’

‘One more hour.’

‘JUDE.’

‘What? Why are you so eager to see me gone?’

He cried out, almost sounding hurt.

She moved to sit in his lap, and cradled his cheeks in her palms.

‘Baby - it’s Christmas Eve. I know how much you love this time. I know that your family is the most important thing in the world for you. I can’t be the reason to separate you from home right now. I can’t have that on me.’

‘You’re important too.’

He said that matter of factly and she wanted to cry out of love again. 

‘I know. But please, you can go now. I’ll be fine. You don’t have to stay back for me. I know that’s what’s holding you back, but really I’m fine now.’

Jude wasn’t sold. He knew she was still raw & overwhelmed from yesterday. He didn’t want her sitting alone & her mind going places. Her flight was day after tomorrow, she still had two more days here. 

‘What about your other friends? Work friends? They don’t have any plans around this time?’

‘They do..but..’

‘But what?’

She looked up at him, not wanting to say it. But he understood.

‘But he’s gonna be there.’

‘Yeah.’

Jude covered his face with his hands, sighing audibly. It was a rock & a hard place kinda scenario. But her staying alone was not an option.

‘I’ve said no.’

‘What’s the plan?’

‘What?’

‘What’s their plan?’

‘Umm they leave this evening for a cabin on the countryside, a 2 hour drive. Spend tonight & Christmas Day tomorrow there, then return in the evening.’

‘How many people?’

She looked at him oddly, unsure why he was even asking this.

‘5 of them, including him. 1 couple, one other girl, and 2 guys.’

‘What’s the sleeping situation gonna be?’

She rolled her eyes.

‘3 bedrooms. They offered to have me in with the other girl.’

‘Who called you for this?’

She rolled her eyes loudly again. As if Arjun would call her to invite her, after how awkward things had been between them.

‘Anna - the other girl.’

Jude covered his head with his hands again. Trying to reach a decision, while she sat confused. 

‘Go.’

‘What?’

‘You’re going.’

‘No I’m not.’

‘I don’t have a problem with this.’

‘Tell that to your face.’

‘Ok I do have a big problem with this. But I can’t have you here alone. So you’re going. Call them & confirm now.’

‘Jude - I don’t want any drama. It’s not worth it.’

‘I’ll behave myself, promise. Just don’t…don’t tell me anything about it. About him. Unless something major happens, I don’t wanna know anything. I’ll just pretend he’s not there.’

She looked at him incredulously.

‘You? You’re saying you don’t wanna know about him?’

‘Yes I’m making an exception. Look, anyone else I can handle, but that….that creature…I…’

‘You hate him. I know.’

‘Understatement of the century. But yeah.’

‘Jude, I don’t have to go. It’s not worth it.’

‘You’re either coming home with me or going with them. Pick.’

He didn’t leave her with any option. Going home with him she’d never pick, it was too soon, especially after all the drama that had just transpired. She was mortified enough that her parents got to know about them this way. 

‘Fine.’

‘Message them now. I wanna see it.’

‘And I’m the Hitler?’

‘Mostly yes.’

She sent the message, received a quick excited confirmation then shoved the screen in his face.

‘Happy?’

‘Yes.’

‘I’m telling you now itself it’s not a good idea.’

‘The alternative is worse.’

‘Gosh you’re stubborn.’

‘Look who’s talking.’

‘Ok. Time to go now. Move.’

‘Wait. I just did this immensely mature thing and I don’t get a reward?’

His fingers started caressing up her sides, from where she was sitting in his lap.

‘You’ll get one when we meet next.’

‘Too far out. How about a quick one now?’

‘There’s nothing quick with you.’

‘We can try.’

His grip tightened on her sides as he leaned in towards her chest. She had to stop this now, else he won’t leave for a long time.

Summoning all her will, she batted his hands away and stepped out of his lap.

‘Seriously?’

‘Yes. LEAVE.’

‘My girlfriend leaves me high & dry, then kicks me out ON CHRISTMAS, after I’ve told her I LOVE HER?’

She cocked her head at him. He’d put a toddler to shame with all his histrionics.

‘Enough with this emotional blackmail. Now pick up your things & leave. I’m calling Agnes.’

She followed through and called Agnes the next second. Muttering under his breath, he stood up, went to the bedroom to get his things, then dragged himself back out, shoulders slumped.

Before he was about to open the door, she held his hand, stood on her tiptoes and pulled him down for a soft kiss.

‘I’ll make it up to you, promise.’

‘I’ll hold you to it.’

‘I know you will.’

She kissed him again, and his spare arm wrapped around her waist.

‘Jude, I love you, so so much.’

‘Love you too, my little dove.’

‘Call me after you reach home.’

‘Will do. And text me all the time you are there.’

‘Will do.’

‘And if anything major happens…’

‘Yes I will call you immediately.’

‘I don’t wanna go.’

‘I know. But you have to. And we’ll meet soon. Bye baby.’

‘Bye, darling.’

[whumpberry-cookie]

do you have prompts for a whumpee abusing substances and being caretaked

Ohh, that will be a challenge for me but I'll do my best!

Addicted Whumpee aftercare

(Cw: various substance abuse, bodily waste, forced hug, strong guilt, suggested séxual attraction)

______________________

Caretaker taking the stuff out of Whumpee's hand in random moments. There is a serious conversation with other teammates. C and W are in the background. W opens the drawer, C takes the bottle from their hand and shut it back.

Caretaker is a big strong bear type. So when Whumpee has some dumb or dangerous idea, they can stop it easily. Balancing on a stair railing? Bear hug, you ain't going anywhere. Running to the bus through te red lights, because they are so jacked? Bear hug. (C:) "Nope. Not doing that". Whumpee just kicks their feet in the air and whines.

(W:) "But I really wannaaaa..." (C:) "Well too damn bad, Whumpee. We don't always get our way."

Whumpee being... well, very aroused. And Caretaker being so done with them. (C:) "I swear, slap me one more time and I'll bite that hand off". (W:) "Heheh. Promise?" (C:) "You weren't into guys before! What happened?!!" (W:) "You are- I'm yoursexual now. Your-" (C:) "You are out of your mind right now, that's what you are"

Manic episodes, panic attacks, hallucinations, anger and derealisation. Stoic Caretaker knows that in this state Whumpee won't let them explain anything. So they just repeat "You are safe. Whumpee. You are safe. It's not real, it's your brain. You are safe".

"I am not qualified to help you with that, Whumpee. I will support you, but you have to go to the proffesional. It has to be your decision".

Caretaker asks Whumpee a lot of questions. About their opinions, visions on life, about their emotions and what caused them. About their dreams, their imagination, their fears. And is very, very insightful about it. Because if Caretaker can help Whumpee process, maybe it will be easier for them to stay in reality.

Caretaker makes sure Whumpee's safe (dresses them up, feeds them, makes sure the doors are locked and sharp objects are hidden) and then locks themselves in their bedroom. It's Caretaker's space to rest and take care of themselves. Listen to music, chat with people, do the work. And Caretaker wouldn't be able to help anyone if they were exhausted or overwhealmed.

There's a lot of nasty, tiring, irritating things. Like whumpee not holding their bladder, vomiting, getting angry and unresponsive, tripping, destroying things. Getting lost in the city, going out without parts of clothing (like barefoot). They have to be forced for safety or fulfilling basic needs like eating. And they feel so ashamed and guilty about it.

Whumpee at some point breaks down and cries so much it's hard for them to breathe (W:) "Caretaker... I'm so sorry... for everything... I don't want you to live like this. I'm disgusting. I'm a nightmare". Caretaker just hugs them in silence. (C:) "We will get through this, Whumpee. I love you. I know you suffer a lot too"

Whumpee's skin shows the effects of addiction. So Caretaker is motivating them for right higiene (C:) "Sit down. No. Sit down here and wait. Just because you're hangover doesn't mean you have to look like a dry resin" (W:) *frowns, as Caretaker starts putting on their face a generous amount of a moisturizing cream* "Ah, colddd.. Stop- uh- I'm not a baby" (C:) "Your lips are bloody cracked. It must hurt. No, stop biting it. Let me grab a lipstick" (W:) "I can do it myself.." (C:) "And still you don't".

Caretaker comes back home late and sees Whumpee passed out on the floor. Picks them up and carries them to bed. Teases them: (C:) "I always wanted to have a kid. I knew I would have to feed and change them. BUT TODDLERS ARE AT LEAST CUTE!" (W:) "Shutt uppp you are so meann so so mean" (C:) "And you are so so stinky! Maybe I should buy you some diapers?" (W:) "Meeaannn... you're a mean persn"

Here's an interesting interview with a heavily substance abusing girl and her family.

[aaasdgnklm]

watching wemmbus uu the war vid

PLS PLS PLS I WANT ZAM TO DIE SO BAD (ik he doesnt)

“is this really how you wanna go out wemmbu?” I could write a senior project on zams tone of voice when he talks to wemmbu.

UGH ZAM WHAT JS WRONG WITH YOU WHY IS HE SUCH A GOOD VILLAIN HES ACTUALLY SO PSYCHOTIC I LOVE HIM SM UUGGGGHHHHHH

kind of crazy that zam actually has some moral high ground in that he values peoples deaths much more than wemmbu does, wemmbu doesnt hesitate to kill people and the deaths of others dont effect him much. zam on the other hand is actively disgusted by the idea of killing anyone unless he has to, he’ll imprison and torture and manipulate whoever gets in his way but he wont kill unless thats the only way to keep them away- like with wemmbu, zam isnt hesitating to threaten wemmbu and his teams actual lives because he knows that killing wemmbu is the only way to keep him away. but even as he threatens wemmbus teams lives, wemmbu just laughs because hes never cared as much as zam.

oh I’m really not normal abt how close zam was standing to him in that sceneeee

“pangi!! pangi 🥺🥺 help meee!! thats what you sound like.”

the visual of zam and his three guards fully maxed out standing in front of wemmbu tangled in cobwebs in half broken armour I wish I could draw :(

“is your plan to wait for my elytra to break— cause that might work imma be honest with you—“

omg pangiiiii :3333 (was watching the colour the world vod bevofre this I’m really pangi hyped rn)

holy shit loppezz! shes important later! I didnt know she was on zams guard originally ngl i feel like so many important side characters started as zams guard and then turn into invis mafia and then became their own independent people once the mafia disbanded (side note finding some straggling invis mafia who no longer have ash but keep the beliefs would be really cool)

what would win in a fight: a massive work of engineering genius designed to commit horrible destruction and acts of terrorism, or blac rok in sky

egg actually trolling 💀

ooo not egg saying the lesson wemmbu is still trying to learn a season and a half later

wemmbu and egg taking turns being freaky about each other

wemmbu and eggs relationship where they’re both comfortable splitting up and doing their own thing and meeting back up later is so refreshing coming from spokes dependancy on mapicc and total crash out without him

YES! ! ! BECOME WHAT YOU MOST FEAR! ! ! ! ! ! ! YOU ARE THE VILLAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

“you say you wanna have fun but you wanna wipe half the people on the server- how do you have fun then?”

“BRO THAT IS FUN”

no way wemmbus gonna let ro die right???

the duel between flame and ro is kind of insane because basically this happened in flames pov recently and I bet uu!flame was thinking about this duel the whole time and half expecting wemmbu or someone to show up and interrupt the same way

NOT WEMMBU HAVING A SHRED OF HUMANITY WHAT IS THIS????

“and then theres pangi whos uh, whos lowkey trash but hes close with zam soo”

(why does mane sound like hes stretching the entire conversation)

see the way manes talking it so so sounds like hes bullshitting about being as good as flame but from ls I know flame is only slightly better than him so wtf is happening

“you seem awfully excited to betray your friends and family”

“well… theyre not my friends.”

flame and mane brothers confirmed he didnt deny the family part (ye ik theyre cousins irl and the whole blindfold brothers thing but I still think theyre sweet)

“zam empire was the strongest team mane, I dont get why youd betray.”

“bro it was only the strongest team because I was on it.”

oh shitttttttttt that was lowkey kinda colddd

also “I’m not scared of flame. maybe a year ago, but not anymore”

“ummm we’re basically gonna blackmail him into betraying his nation and getting his friends killed :3”

ok why was pentar and yungys reunion kind of adorable yungy hears pentars voice and theyre immediately both so excited + yungys complaint of not being able to even see pentar ugh theyre adorable

NO PLEASE DONT MAKE PENTAR KILL YUNGY HES JUST A BABY I LOVE HIM

this is like a murder mystery but we’re following the murder as he slowly picks everyone off starting with the weakest

EHEHEH FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

“you know youre nothing without me right?” the manipulation is crazyyyy

“yo mane is this winnable!?”

“hahaha I dont think so!”

bro where IS parrot actually I’m 2/3 of the way in and bro has still not shown up

why do all of zams guards glaze him so hard 💀

its so funny how zams guards are just being toxic basically and calling wemmbu weak and coward really generic insults but zams insults are so specific. so targeted. theyre meant for wemmbu and theyre meant to hurt him and him specifically.

wemmbu just pulling out more and more armour is actually so funny

zam literally like yeah but I like him :3

ONCE AGAIN THE VISION OF ZAM CROUCHING OVER WEMMBU TANGLED IN COBS I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRAW

are these hearts 🤣🤣🤣

also once again the image of wemmbu standing weak and defenceless with no armour surrounded by zams fully kitted guards watching mane and flame fight on equal ground

is this the equivalent of mane and wemmbu breaking up over text 😭

this is weirdly calm like it just feels inevitable

does this count as one strike cause if I was parrot I would NOT let this pass

why is everyone on this server so ok with dying

THE FACT THAT THE MUSIC STARTED UP AGAIN WHEN ZAM SHOWED BACK UP BECAUSE HES THE ONLY ONE THAT WEMMBU ACTUALLY CARED ENOUGH ABOUT TO GET AN ADRENALINE SPIKE FROM HIM SHOWING UP

aww zam apologized OH MY GOD IS THAT CLOWN PIERCE

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WAHT WHATW DGWJDBDKF

♡ “A Cuddle Most Efficient” ♡ ( A Goemon x Eris Fanfic)

✎ One-Shot, Romance, Comedy, Emotional Pining, Fluff, Mutual Yearning

✎ Lupin III Fanfic, Goemon x OC, Goemon x Self Insert, Dramatic Girl x Stoic Man,

✎ 908 Words

The night was cold, the safehouse colder, and Goemon Ishikawa XIII—the coldest of them all.

Eris huddled deeper into her oversized purple cloak, shivering with an exaggerated flair that would’ve made a theater crowd applaud. Across the room, Goemon sat perfectly composed by the fire, posture crisp, arms crossed, his katana resting loyally at his side. He looked like a statue carved from silence and discipline—completely unmoved by human suffering. Or, more specifically, hers.

She scowled in his direction. “Are you seriously not going to offer to cuddle me?”

Scooting a few inches closer, she pouted dramatically. “It’s freezing. I’m going to die. Of hypothermia. Then I’ll haunt you. Every time you meditate, I’ll whisper ‘Goeeemonnn… I’m colddd~’ right in your ear.”

Without even looking her way, he responded flatly, “You are wearing three layers and a scarf.”

“Yeah, but emotionally?” She clutched her cloak tighter. “I’m bare.”

He blinked. Slowly. As if he was trying to decipher a foreign language he hadn’t studied in years. “I fail to see how—”

“You fail to see a lot of things,” she huffed, turning her back with a dramatic toss of her hair. “Like how desperately I crave affection from my emotionally constipated crush.”

Still silence.

Not even a flicker of acknowledgment.

Eris peeked over her shoulder. Still nothing. Not even a twitch. Fine. Time to go nuclear.

She sniffled. Loudly.

Then again.

Goemon’s eyebrow twitched.

She pressed her palms to her face and let out the tiniest sob. “I knew it,” she whispered, voice cracking. “You think I’m ugly.”

Goemon finally turned his head. “What?”

“It’s okay,” she sniffled. “You don’t have to say it. I mean, why else wouldn’t you want to cuddle me? Everyone cuddles the pretty girls. I’ve seen it. It’s like… science or something.”

“I never said you were—”

“It’s fine!” she wailed, flopping onto her side like a Victorian heroine fading from heartbreak. “I’ll just lie here, unwanted, unheld, unloved… like a tragic figure in a sad French film!”

He was beside her in an instant.

“Stop crying,” Goemon said, his voice stiff as he knelt awkwardly beside her, unsure where to put his hands. “I do not think you are ugly.”

“Then prove it!” she sniffled again, looking up at him with wide, watery eyes.

His jaw flexed. “How?”

She lifted her arms with slow, tragic flair. “Cuddle me, Goemon. Cuddle me like you mean it.”

A long, pained pause.

Then, with the hesitance of a man preparing for a firing squad, Goemon lay down beside her. His body was stiff, his movements awkward—clearly, this was not his natural battlefield.

Eris, however, had no such hang-ups. She curled into him like it was her destiny, flinging an arm around his waist and letting out a victorious sigh into his chest. “There we go,” she whispered smugly. “See? Doesn’t that feel better than glaring at me from across the room like a disapproving monk?”

He was quiet for a long beat, arms hovering like he wasn’t sure they were allowed to touch her. But finally, with a deep exhale, he rested them gently around her.

“…You are absurd.”

“But cuddly,” she grinned into his chest. “Admit it.”

“…Tolerable.”

She gasped. “That’s basically a love confession coming from you.”

“Do not push it.”

But she didn’t need to. Because she was already smiling.

Mission: Accomplished.

————————————————————————

Later that night, the safehouse was still and quiet. Too quiet.

Eris sprawled lazily across the couch in the living room, flipping through a fashion magazine with zero interest in the content. Her real focus was the doorway.

And right on cue, like a broody samurai summoned by dramatic silence, Goemon appeared. His arms were tucked in his sleeves, his expression unreadable, gaze fixed anywhere but on her.

“…Evening,” he said stiffly.

“Hey, handsome.” She stretched out across the cushions, looking as cozy and inviting as she could. “Need something?”

A beat passed.

“You are… often cold at night,” he said slowly.

She blinked. “Uh. Sometimes?”

He stepped further into the room, voice stilted and robotic. “There are… efficient methods to combat that. Ones tested over time. Through necessity.”

“Go on…” she said, barely hiding her grin.

“For instance…” He cleared his throat. “One might share body heat. With… someone nearby.”

She nearly burst out laughing. “Nearby like… me?”

Goemon’s ears were visibly red now. “I am merely stating a possibility.”

“Mmhmm.” She snapped the magazine shut. “So… you’re saying you want to cuddle?”

“That word is childish.”

“Okay, okay,” she teased, crossing her arms. “Would you like to engage in strategic warmth-sharing with an emotionally unbalanced woman again?”

His pause was long, but not endless.

“…If it is efficient.”

Eris opened her arms with a smug smile. “Come here, samurai heater.”

He moved toward her slowly, like approaching a wild animal. But the second she nestled against him, curling up just like before, he let out a soft breath and relaxed into the couch.

“You’re such a bad liar,” she murmured.

“I do not lie,” he muttered, wrapping one arm around her without hesitation this time.

“Then admit it.”

“Admit what?”

“That you like cuddling me.”

Another pause.

“…It is not… unpleasant.”

Eris smirked. “I’ll take it.”

And as they sat there, wrapped in silence and each other, the great Goemon Ishikawa XIII leaned his head against hers and, for the first time in a long while, hoped she’d never stop asking.

Because now?

He didn’t want her to.

“If that world exists, it’s far away from here. It’s one I’ll have to miss for it’s far beyond my years. You might live forever, so you can make it be. But I’ve got one endeavor. There’s a girl I have to see.”

(DDLC four hearts au, Monika and Sayori, college party, very drunk Sayori)

A college party, not Monika’s usual style, but Sayori just wanted to go so bad.. she just couldn’t say no.

It was around the time she saw a couple pull out some coke that she decided she was ready to leave, she started searching around for Sayori but couldn’t find her anywhere, after a little bit she found a mutual friend and asked if they’d seen her, she said she’d saw her go to the upstairs bathroom a while ago. Monika pushed her way upstairs and knocked on the door, no reply she tried to see if it was unlocked, it was, she stepped inside.

There Sayori was, laying in the bathtub, very obviously hammered, great. Monika would probably have to carry her back to her dorm. Monika locked the door and leaned down by the tub,

“Hey, Say? You ready to go?”

She asked,

Sayori groaned and looked over at her,

“icant go wigthought monii..”

she slurred, “I am Monika, I think you’re all partied out Sayo, let’s go home.” Monika replied, rubbing her hand, “im toodizzy.” Sayori mumbled. “I’ll help you up and walk you there, c’mon.” She started pulling Sayori to her feet, and Sayori struggled out of the tub.

As they made their way towards the front door Sayori somehow ended up with another drink in her hand she probably swiped on the stair which Monika promptly swatted to the ground, much to her dismay.

“i’m colddd” Sayori whined as they walked to the bus stop, “We’ll be home soon.” Monika reassured.

After arriving back on campus and making their way back to Monika’s dorm, she fumbled the door open and internally groaned to see Morgan still awake.

“Howdy Red, party hard or hardl-“

“Quiet.” Monika cut him off, helping Sayori down on the couch across from him. “Stay here for a sec, okay Sayo?” She got no response so she just backed away to wet a rag. “Have a good time?” Morgan asked, After a long pause Sayori answered. “Witgh what..?” She asked, “The party.” He answered, “Huh..?” Sayori blinked slowly, “Here.” Monika interrupted their dead end conversation by sitting next to her girlfriend and pressing a wet washcloth into her forehead, Sayori flinched away at first but then leaned into it. “Are we… uh.” Sayori stopped for a long time before she sniffed, “Are wehome..? Moni?” She asked, “We’re home, yes, would you like to go to bed?” Monika took her hand and rubbed the back with her thumb. “Ccan I?” “Of course, c’mon.” She stood her up and led her to the bedroom, “Night Red and co.” Morgan called, “g’nighttt!” Sayori responded, Monika ignored him.

See You Again (Alejandro Balde)

...

y/n was a law school student in new york, she was finally on summer break. she decided going to the dominican republic would definitely be a fun trip. in another place of the world was barça's new boy, alejandro balde. he was going to the dominican republic to his parents hometown. it was always so nostalgic for him to go back and finally relax.

the water felt amazing on her skin. it was glistening under the sun, it lightly beamed on the crystallized water and on her golden like skin. y/n laid down her towel down on one of the chairs. she laid down and put her sunglasses on, taking in that dominican sun. she felt so at ease until a soccer ball came in contact with her legs, she jumped by surprise and whined from the strong sting as she rubbed the area.

a boy who looked about your age came running to you, "i'm so sorry!! are you okay??!!", he said as he looked at her worried.

she looked at him, he was concerned and worried. although she was more stunned by his body and handsome face. little did she know, he was feeling the same thing.

"yes i'm fine don't worry about it" she smiled at him.

alejandro felt really bad, so he invited y/n to a local smoothie shop, as well as his favorite childhood place. she agreed and they began their way to the shop. once they arrived they ordered their smoothies, y/n got a mango smoothie while ale got a mixed berry smoothie. she took a sip of the sugary drink, the substance danced on her tongue.

she looked at him with wide eyes, "oh my god this is amazing" she smiled.

"this is my comfort place ever since childhood, i'd come here with my parents and my friends while i was growing up" he explained as he reminisced on his younger years.

alejandro and y/n got to know each other. she learned his favorites color was blue, he was a barcelona football player, he was a libra, and was born in spain. he learned that she was a law student in ny, her favorite color was lilac, she was a virgo, and loved to read.

they didn't notice that they had talked for a long time until they noticed the sunset.

"do you want to go back to the beach and watch the sunset?" he asked her, his eyes gleamed, she happily nodded.

they sat down on the cool sand, the golden colors complimented her skin and her eyes. he looked at her, she was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. she was down to earth, everything he liked she had; his dream girl right next to him.

"i enjoyed my time with you ale" she told him as she tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

"i did too, i was wondering if i could get your number?" he asked, she nodded and grabbed his phone, she put her contact in and gave it back.

y/n end ups hanging out with alejandro for the majority of her summer break. he took her to one of the famous waterfalls there. the water splashed all over the place, she was glad that she found someone like him. he was different, he was always smiling and had an amazing personality.

"the water is so colddd ale" she shivered.

"once you're in it for a while it's not cold anymore look" he said as he held out his hand which she gladly placed her hand in. she trusted him, she'd go to the end of the world with him. as crazy as it seemed, only knowing him for a very short time she felt like she knew him all her life.

they walked to the epitome of the splashing water, he hugged her as the cold water splashed on them. she hugged him tighter to conceal her shivers. she seemed to warm up quickly and danced in the water. the two swam gracefully while also laughing, playfully bickering, and just being in their company.

later on in the week ale and y/n went to a near by club, they danced till their feet hurt. they felt the rhythm of every song in their bones. they swayed their bodies together on beat.

they'd get too comfortable on the dance floor which none of them mind. her back was facing him, her hips rotated in a perfect rhythm while he placed one hand on her waist. his grasp on her was gentle, there was a difference. he was gentle, caring, respectful; not like the other guys she's been with who were selfish, douchebags, and overly possessive.

the shots and drinks kept coming in, tequila shots mixed in with sweet flavorings were hitting the spot. perhaps too much, y/n was slowly but surely getting too intoxicated; while ale was already intoxicated not by the alcohol but by her. her scent, her features and her intellect was enough for him to fall for her.

after a long night of clubbing and drinking alcohol like it was pure water, they finally headed home. he dropped her off at her airbnb, making sure that she was all set. he placed a garbage can next to her bed just in case she felt sick later and a bottled water with a pill for her hang over tomorrow morning.

as she came into her room she took of her outfit and put on a big shirt and small shorts. ale was turned around the whole time. she then drunkly took of her make with makeup wipes.

"you can look at me you know i don't mind" she playfully winked while he turned around and shook his head while he scoffed.

y/n crawled into her bed and covered herself in her blankets. as he was about to exit her bedroom, he was stopped by the pretty girl.

"wait ale can you stay with me porfavor?" she pulls him down on the bed.

he rubbed her hand softly and nodded, "i'll be gone by the morning mi amor", he softly said but she was already asleep.

y/n ended her summer break with alejandro the same way it started; back on the beach. to her surprise alejandro's parents were there too. this beach had been apart of his childhood as well due to it being super close to his house.

she met his parents, to say they liked her was a true understatement.

"you're so beautiful wow" alejandro's mother said with a smile, y/n thanked her.

his parents got to know her and were so interested in her. even his dad was stunned with her intellect and what an interesting person she was. after meeting them and spending time with his parents they went to take a walk on the beach.

"you know i'm going to miss you" he sadly said as he grasped her hand.

"me too but we'll see each other soon i promise" she smiled softly.

she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. she kissed him as he was leaving her forever, and to be fair that'd be slightly true. she wanted to leave everything behind and be with him; to go with him back to barcelona and watch him be the best future football player.

"will i ever see you again?" he says.

"of course you will, i'm only one phone call away" she replied.

Can I get a kiss? And can you make it last forever? I said I'm 'bout to go to war I don't know if I'ma see you again

Cabin In The Woods 👱‍♀️💞

We’ve had suchhh an amazing few days. Me and Danny went to our favourite place for a little break, somewhere we can relax and be cut off from everyone and everything ☺️

We got there on Tuesday night, ordered pizza, watched a movie and made love. That’s right ladies and gents, Danny doesn’t alwaysss fuck my brains out 😜

Wednesday was a nice day but it was colddd in the morning. We woke up and stayed in bed for a couple of hours. We were mainly just kissing but Danny did feel the need to tease my pussy. He was rubbing me and letting me know he had some biggg plans for me later 😉

Once we got up and the weather had warmed up, we went for a walk in the woods. I was feeling sooo teased from the morning so I thought I’d get him back, flashing my tiddies at him and putting my hand down his joggers. Teasing Daddy as payback neverrr works, I’m too obedient. Once I’d got him teased, he ordered me to my knees right there in the woods and like the good (or bad) little girl I am, I couldn’t resist. I loveee making Daddy happy and I loveee hearing him tell me how pretty I am with his cock in my mouth. Sucking his cock out in the woods made me feel sooo naughty, I went to rub myself but Daddy said no. He was veryyy clear that he could have pleasure but I couldn’t, good job I love sucking his cock whenever he wants 😜 he had me suck until he was ready cum then told me to open my mouth. Standing over me, he stroked his cock and let his cum shoot down my throat for me to swallow 😋

Back at the cabin, with a belly full of cum, hubby had me strip naked and let me know he wanted me like that for the resttt of the night. We had food, put the fire on, cuddled and he was soon teasing my pussy again. I was sooo wet, sooo horny, sooo needy. I looked at him with his hand between my legs and begged him not to stop this time. Either my begging worked or this was his plan allll along. He rubbed me until I was at the edge and stopped, I looked at him as if to say …“not again” … to my delight, he only stopped so he could push me back, get between my legs, bury his hard cock inside me and make me scream. He fucked me sooo hard and made me cum sooo fast 💦

Having just cum sooo heavily, he picked me up, took me to bed, threw me down on it, got back between my legs, wrapped his hand around my neck, pinned me down and pounded me senseless. Omggg, with all that teasing earlier in the day, I was now getting all I wanted and more. Laid on my back, taking such a harddd fucking, I looked up at him and moaned repeatedly… “use me Daddy, use me”… he slapped my tits, squeezed my neck and fucked me like I needed a reminder of whose little slut I am 🤩 filled with cum and having had multiple orgasms, I went to sleep the besttt way I could… in Daddy’s arms, exhausted 🥴

Thursday was a farrr more relaxed day. We had a day of just chilling around the cabin, comfy clothes and loving life. We got in the outdoor hot tub at night, had a few drinks and had gentle sex in bed afterwards. I was on top and just gentlyyy grinding on him until we both came 😍

This morning (Friday), Danny brought me breakfast in bed and once I’d finallyyy got the energy to get ready, we headed home. I wish we could have stayed a few more days but ohhh well, as hubby says, you have to come home to look forward to going away again ☺️
