Summary: Modern AU - Corroded Coffin hosts a live stream and fans notice you walk through the background

“Nooooo,” you whine, fingers digging into Eddie’s t-shirt to try and pull him closer to you. 
“Babe, I have to,” Eddie says through a laugh. But he does give you one last quick kiss. “I’ll come back when the live stream is over, okay?”
“Fine,” you sigh. “I’ll just be waiting here. On your bed. All alone.”
Eddie chuckles and presses a kiss to your forehead. You playfully tug on one of the strands of hair framing his face since the rest is tucked up in a bun.
“You could get something to eat and read the script for the movie your agent got you an audition for.”
“As long as you promise to come back with cuddles and kisses,” you say with a pout.
“Always.” He presses one last kiss to the side of your head before walking toward the door. “We’ll be in the garage.”
“Have fun.”
Eddie joins the rest of the band in the garage, which half of has been made into a studio. Jeff’s leaning on a desk, tapping at his phone when Eddie hears him groan.
“What’s up?” Eddie asks.
“I can’t get this damn thing to work. Keeps saying it can’t load Instagram. Is the site just down?” Jeff looks over his shoulder at the guys.
“Here, lemme see it,” Gareth says, holding his hand out. Jeff gives it over and the youngest member of the band starts trying to get the app to work. “I think it’s just the WiFi in the garage. It’s shitty in here some days.”
“Where else should we do it?” Jeff asks, pushing himself out of the chair.
“Kitchen?” Frank offers. “We can sit on the barstools at the counter.”
“Excellent idea, my friend,” Eddie says, nodding his head in Frank’s direction. 
Jeff grabs the tripod and the four guys head back into the house. 
Eddie pops the phone into the holder and switches the ring light on.
“Okay, let’s go,” Jeff says as he slips onto one of the stools. “We said we’d start this stream at two and we’re cutting it close.”
The rest of the guys pull their seats in as close as possible while Jeff pulls up Corroded Coffin’s Instagram page and starts up a live video.
“Hey!” Jeff greets. “We’re here.”
“After a few issues,” Gareth adds.
“There’s only one week left before our new album drops,” Jeff continues. “Anyone pre-order it yet?”
A stream of comments starts pouring in faster than any of the guys can read them.
“Whoa, seems like a lot of you have,” Eddie says as he scans them quickly. 
“Oh my God,” Gareth says with a laugh. He points to a comment, but it goes too fast before the others can see it. “Someone said, ‘Eddie’s bun is giving sexy librarian.’”
All eyes turn to Eddie and, instantly, all four friends crack up. 
“Holy shit, I’d hate to go to that library,” Frank says as the laughter only gets louder.
The guys are making too much noise to hear Eddie’s bedroom door open, but the sound of their laughter instantly makes you smile as you walk to the bathroom at the other end of the hall. 
“Oh, that was good,” Gareth says, wiping beneath his eyes to get rid of tears that overflowed. 
“Okay,” Jeff says as he catches his breath. “Any questions about the album now?”
His eyes look down to where the messages come in at a mile a minute, but it seems like none of them are talking about the album anymore. Or Eddie’s hair. Now they’re talking about a certain actress they saw walk by in the background of the video.
Was that her?!
Omg what is she doing there
AHHH IS SHE DATING ONE OF THEM?!?!
Eddie feels his muscles tighten as he sees the comments going by. He likes to keep his personal life private. This is no one’s fault though; he told you they were going to be in the garage, not in the house. And what, were you not allowed to go to the bathroom in your boyfriend’s home? No, this was just all one big accident that is now going to lead to speculation and rumors. 
“Oh, uh, good question,” Gareth says when one about the album pops up. All four guys have had enough PR training to know they don’t acknowledge the unexpected topic. “We wrote most of these songs for the album, yes, but some are songs that we wrote years ago that just haven’t been released yet.”
Once the live stream ends, Eddie heads back into his room where you’re lounging on his bed, on your phone. 
You let it fall to your chest when you see your boyfriend and open your arms for him. 
Without a moment’s hesitation, Eddie’s laying down beside you, the two of you wrapped up in one another’s arms. 
“How was the stream?” 
Your boyfriend chuckles and drops his forehead against yours. 
“I can probably find it on the internet already…” He picks your phone up and opens google. A search for news about Corroded Coffin yields the expected result. Eddie chuckles and turns the phone so you can see. “Here.”
Corroded Coffin Star Dating Award Winning Actress? But Which Band Member Is It?!
Your jaw drops and your eyes widen as you click on the article. It’s not long before your eyes catch, “…was seen walking in the background of their latest live stream…”
“Oh my God! No! Eddie, I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize that—”
“It’s okay, baby.” Eddie’s grinning as he hugs you even tighter against him. “Honestly, I’m curious for the articles to come out, guessing which one of us you’re with.”
“There’s going to be ones saying I’m dating all of you at the same time, aren't there?” 
Eddie laughs and presses his lips to your forehead.
“Probably. But you’re stuck with me, baby. The sexy librarian and the sexy actress.”
You stare at Eddie, laughter slowly creeping in on your utter confusion.
“What?!”

Chapter 1: Caught Up In A Moment
September 2023
One. Two. Three.
At the third knock, your bare feet sprinted to the motel room door from the bathroom, a towel still in hand as you dried your damp hair.
“Coming!” you called out and twisted the knob, opening the door with a keen smile.
Beau stood in front of you in all his glory – washed jeans Sherpa jacket, a button-up in your favorite color, and some tight denim clad his muscular bow legs. That man always effortlessly took your breath away when he really shouldn’t.
A cocked brow graced his features as he eyed you from head to toe, a smile twitching on his plump, kissable lips underneath the scruffy beard. “You open the door always like this, darlin’?”
The familiar drawl made your knees weak. Back home, the accent was nothing special, but his deep timbre of a voice that made your bones tremble surely was. The combination of the two was heaven-sent and hell-bent.
“I just got out of the shower.” You shrugged innocently, your golden halo swinging with your sinful hips.
As you rubbed the rest of your hair dry, your black silk robe swayed with the movement of your legs before you leisurely discarded the used towel on your bed and waited for the handsome sheriff to follow you inside.
“Brought you something,” Beau said and wiggled a thick folder over his head as he walked in, closing the door behind him with a kick of his boot. He ceremoniously slapped the file on the small desk in your room.
Your lips curved into a sly grin. “Oh? Almost feels like my birthday, Mr. President.”
Beau let out a hearty laugh, showing off the endearing crinkles around his shimmering green eyes. “I think you’ve got something confused there, darlin’. It was Kennedy’s birthday.”
“Huh, so I’m the president and you’re my Marilyn?” you teased.
“Oh, I’ll happily be your Marilyn,” he said with a cheeky smile.
As your fingers eagerly leafed through the file, you could feel Beau’s breath fanning against your neck as he came to stand behind you, shiny leather boots plodding on sordid motel carpet. The hair on your skin saluted him as goosebumps rose.
You could smell his cologne as it tingled your nose, bergamot and cedar mixed with a hint of vanilla flooding your senses and washing a sea of memories into your mind. Memories you wished were lost and never found.
Postponing the deep dive to tomorrow, your eyes only skimmed over the contents of the folder. But just as you suspected, the victimology and modus operandi were all too familiar. You’d seen this before, and it wasn’t good.
You’d be here for a while.
“And?” Beau’s voice broke you from your thoughts before you felt his fingertips softly brushing the flesh on your hips. An electric shudder ran down your spine at his touch, your mind on the fritz.
“Definitely my jurisdiction,” you replied and closed the file.
Moaning with pleasure, you felt his lips on your neck, kissing a pathway down to your shoulder. One of your hands wandered up and tangled in his thick, luscious locks, grabbed and tugged until he groaned against the shell of your ear. You still managed to blab about the case with strained concentration.
“There’s been similar cases in, uhm… Texas… Utah… Colorado… Wyoming… and now here.”
“Hmm,” Beau hummed, not letting himself be disturbed. The vibrations of his voice thrummed against the column of your throat.
Your cunt clenched; you could feel the rising wetness between your legs and the growing bulge against your ass.
A large hand brushed stealthily across your stomach and snaked past the silk fabric to grab a generous breast, squeezing the tender flesh and tweaking the nipple between his thumb and a finger. His hardening cock pressed at the crack between your buttcheeks, your arousal dripping down your thighs.
A second palm wandered to your front but was bound southward this time. His digits pried apart your folds, two of them running through your slick with a growl in your ear before slipping inside your pussy. A whimper left your lips as you braced your palms on the surface in front of you for support, your legs threatening to buckle under the pressure.
But Beau wasn’t going to let you fall, his grip like a vice around you as he held you flush against his chest, hot breath tickling your earlobe and beard burning your cheek. You moaned his name with a few expletives as he thrust his fingers in and out of your soaked channel.
“Fuck, you’re so goddamn wet. Want you to come for me,” he husked into your ear and pushed his erection even more against your ass. Your pussy clenched around him. “Yeah, that’s it. Squeeze those fingers like you’ll squeeze my cock… It’s been too fucking long. Wanna finally fill you, darlin’.”
“God, yes,” you whined in agreement as the coil in your belly tightened with each plunge into your heat.
He curled his knuckles and expertly thumbed your clit, making you cry out. His strokes became harder, your breathing grew labored. Your body quaked with each thrust, cunt throbbing around his fingers.
“Fuck,” you moaned as the heel of his palm rubbed your clit, igniting the fuse to the fireworks in your belly. Your explosion could be seen in the sky from miles away without binoculars.
“I gotcha,” Beau whispered as a strong arm wrapped around your ribcage, your pussy pulsing with his fingers deep inside you. Brushing your damp hair to one side of your neck, his teeth sunk into your shoulder as you steadied in his embrace.
“You’d think as the sheriff, you’d care a little more that a serial killer is running around and murdering citizens of your county,” you teased breathlessly.
“Oh, I’m not worried,” Beau said simply, removing his wet fingers from your drenched cunt.
You lifted an eyebrow at him and bit down on your lower lip. “No?”
“Nope, not since you’re here,” Beau quipped and kissed your shoulder blade. “I know you won’t rest till you got that bastard all nicely cuffed up.”
You huffed a laugh. “Wow, you’ve got a lot of confidence in me, huh?”
“You betcha. Got nothin’ to do with confidence, either. I just know you, darlin’,” Beau stated with a cocksure grin and palmed one cheek of your ass as he rutted against you.
“Beau, fuck… I still have to lock the folder into the safe,” you managed to say, your mind in a haze of desire as your pussy whined in starving anticipation.
“C’mon, who’s gonna steal it, huh?” he muttered against your skin. “Would be a damn fool to break into a room with a sheriff and a federal agent.”
“You can never be too careful,” you argued lightly.
“Says the woman who can’t lock a damn door,” Beau sassed with a chuckle and threw you a raised look as he spun you in his embrace.
You laughed, your cheeks blushing when you were reminded of your little unfortunate adventure at lunch. Your arms draped around his neck as his hands wandered to your lower back, the two of you gently swaying from side to side.
“I’m sorry, okay? I told you. I thought it was locked.”
“Uh-huh.” Beau chuckled, shaking his head. “You’d think with all those criminals running around, you’d know better.”
“Look, the Academy doesn’t technically teach us how to lock doors, just how to kick ‘em in, alright?” you retorted. He pecked the tip of your nose, flashing you a grin. “Is your deputy, okay? I felt bad. He looked traumatized. You know, he couldn’t look me in the eye when I left.”
“Yeah, I bet.” Beau laughed and rubbed his bearded chin before his palm moved back to its original place on the small of your back. “As soon as his shift was over, he bolted straight outta there. But Papa Smurf will be fine. Don’t worry about it,” he assured you with a warm smile that could melt several hearts. It sure did yours. “You do know, though, I’ll get teased for this, right?”
“I know.” You laughed and buried your face in his chest upon Beau’s playful glare. He pursed his lips as his cheeks flushed with color before placing a kiss on your crown. “I’m sorry. Maybe no one knows?”
“Y/N, this ain’t Houston. This is a small town. Everyone knows by now,” Beau reminded you with a small laugh.
Guiltily, you looked up at him and bit your lower lip, one corner of your mouth tugging upwards into a smirk. “I’ll make it up to you?”
“Oh?”
On tiptoes, you then nuzzled your nose against his, hands traveling from his neck to his cheeks as you tenderly caressed his beard and felt his breathing quicken. Your gazes locked. You got lost in pine green.
His fingers played with a wet strand of your hair, a smile fluttering on his mouth as he tucked it back behind your ear. His palm wandered to the back of your head and pulled you to his lips. The first kiss was tender and hesitant, like a kid testing the temperature of the ocean with its big toe before fully diving inside and getting carried away by the waves.
The kiss grew needier and rougher as he pushed you back until you hit the edge of the small desk in your room. Effortlessly, strong arms lifted you on the surface, your bare buttcheeks feeling the worn wood underneath. It was too easy for you two to fall back into an old rhythm.
“This is very handy, by the way,” Beau said with a smirk as his fingers opened the loosely tied bow of your robe and revealed your naked body underneath.
“Thought you’d appreciate it,” you purred as he slid the silky material off your shoulders, letting it billow around your waist.
“Oh, I do, darlin’,” he rasped, his voice loaded with lust, nibbling along your jaw. His mouth wandered down to your throat, sucking the skin purple and blue before he claimed your first breast, his tongue rolling over your nipple until it peaked.
“Fuck, baby,” you whimpered breathily, your head lolling back as he worshipped your body, running a river of kisses from your collarbone to the end of your ribcage. “Need you inside me, please.”
It had been so long, you had almost forgotten how good he was at making you come undone. Or better said, you had tried to forget it on purpose.
“You don’t know what you’re doing to me,” Beau growled huskily in your ear.
Cupping his cheeks, you needily brought him back to your lips, your breathing ragged between a dance of tongues. His kisses were addictive; one taste and you were hooked. Consumption became an obsession.
Your hands climbed down his body, unbuckled belt and unzipped jeans, palming his massively hard cock that only grew even larger in your hand. Everything was indeed bigger in fucking Texas.
While you popped every button of his maroon shirt, he slipped out of his jacket and boxers, his erection springing against his stomach. It was perfectly wide and long, dangerously able to stretch you to your fullest. Your mouth watered, the taste of him still fresh in your mind.
His shirt joined the graveyard of clothes on the floor as your legs wrapped around his waist. He positioned his head at your waiting entrance, catching your gaze as he pushed inside, sheathing his cock fully in your soaking channel.
“Fuck, I missed this,” he groaned and rested his head on your shoulder as he momentarily stilled when he was at your deepest. He inhaled your scent and memorized every note like a love song. His lips bit and soothed your skin in a vicious cycle. There was no escaping him.
His harmless words caused a sting in your chest, however, cutting deeper than any knife could. You tried to ignore the dulled pain, reminding you of your oath to keep it casual this time. Your heart couldn’t get dragged back into his mess. Once was enough for a lifetime.
Beau had a punch list. You had a forget-about-him list.
A part of you doubted your decision to come here. Maybe it was too soon. Maybe no amount of time would ever be enough.
Beau grabbed you tightly and carried you to the bed, your legs still wrapped around him, still connected with him inside of you. Your back touched the light sheets underneath you as his weight heavily laid on top of you, pressing him further into you until you felt him at the spot you loved so much.
“Oh, fuck,” you mewled as he moved your thigh over his shoulder and thrust even deeper inside of you, filling you to the brim. It felt like he had remembered every move, everything you’d ever loved.
His hips then began to snap faster. Harder. He bottomed out each and every time. You felt him everywhere, your nerve endings catching fire as the flames inside you rose, climbed and burned down walls.
Beau could feel you were close, and he was right there with you. His hand snaked between your sweat-clad bodies and found your sensitive spot once more, his thumb rubbing circles on your clit till he pushed you over the cliff and you lost sight of the shore.
Ocean. Waves… Your boat capsized and got lost in them.
His lips sought out yours. His kiss was deep and passionate and lasting as his hips stilled, spilling his release inside of you with a guttural grunt. Your muscles trembled, your pussy tight and throbbing around his cock, and yet, still craving more. He was the worst drug you’d ever known.
As he slipped out of you and rolled next to you, both of you were panting heavily on the mattress. You stared at the water-stained ceiling above you, your skin glistening and sticky.
Chuckling, Beau ran a hand through his hair and whistled lowly. “Man… this was… wow,” he said and opened his arm, inviting you into his embrace.
“Yeah,” you breathed in agreement, your cheeks flushed as a blissful smile haunted your features. As your head rested safely on his chest, you listened to his heartbeat, steady and reliant, and concentrated on his tender and calm caresses on your arm.
“You know, I really did miss this,” he told you and placed another affectionate kiss on top of your head.
“Me too,” you admitted quietly and felt your heart crack a little more.
“You know, this kinda reminds me of that night in that shabby motel in Mexico,” Beau reminisced with a soft laugh. “Not Juárez but, uhm… Culiacán! Minus the food poisoning.”
“Sure as hell taught me to never eat tacos from some shady street truck again, no matter how hungry a stake-out makes me,” you agreed, chortling.
“Yeah, pretty damn sure that wasn’t beef,” Beau added. “Tasted like armadillo.”
Amused, you lifted a brow. “How do you know what armadillo tastes like?”
“Trust me, you don’t wanna know,” he replied and shuddered in disgust to drive the point home.
Laughing came easy with Beau. During stormy times, his heart was your lighthouse, burning in the distance. But then, it suddenly wasn’t one day, swallowed by fog and leaving you surrounded by darkness. Walking down memory lane also reminded you of that – the times when your tears could fill an ocean.
Moving out of his arms, you left the familiar and irresistible warmth and grabbed one of your navy FBI shirts from your duffel bag, pulling it over your head. Soon you found a pair of gray sweatpants as well. With each clothing item, you added another layer over your heart.
Beau watched you get dressed in silence, feeling you pull back from him. His heart twinged with anguish; his soul throbbed with longing. It was rare that he was at a loss for words, but you had a habit of leaving him speechless.
Softly, he cleared his throat to catch your attention and get you out of your head. “I meant what I said today, you know? I want you to stay, Y/N. Even when this case is over. I was serious about that.”
“I know.” You nodded, an amused snort involuntarily escaping your throat. “Just hard to believe, I guess… especially with Carla being available again.”
You bit your tongue and closed your eyes as the words slipped out of your mouth. You didn’t mean to, but it did.
“Y/N–”
You quickly turned around and faced him, doing your best at damage control. “Beau, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s fine.”
“It’s not fine,” Beau said and shook his head.
He grabbed his clothes from the floor, feeling his time with you quickly coming to an end. He wanted to at least be dressed in case he had to chase after you. He figured one naked public outing per day was enough for Helena’s sheriff.
“Look, let’s just talk about it. Get it all out in the open, alright?”
“Beau, really, I get it. You don’t have to explain,” you replied in an attempt to brush him off.
“Yes, I do,” Beau insisted as he slid back into his jeans and buttoned his shirt, his gaze drilling into yours and pleading with you. Rising from the bed, he stalked closer to you. “A lot’s changed since the last time we saw each other. I told you. I moved here to be closer to Em.”
You rolled your eyes back and scoffed. Carding a hand through your hair, you spun on your heel in disbelief. You had to take a moment before looking at him again. “Are you kidding me right now?”
Beau sighed and conceded, hands held high in defense in case you fired another shot. “Alright, I hear ya. Maybe that wasn’t entirely true… initially. But it certainly is now, alright? It’s more complicated than you think. It just-… There’s so much I need to tell you… Carla and I… that’s over. Resolved, okay? Trust me. You don’t need to be worried.”
“I’m not worried!” you lied. Badly, might you add, but you didn’t care if he believed you or not. You let out a deep sigh and tried a calmer approach. “Look, uhm, maybe this was a bad idea. We shouldn’t have–… We-, we got caught up in a moment. I mean, that’s our thing, right? It doesn’t mean anything. Let’s just concentrate on the case and then go our separate ways again, alright?”
“Don’t do this, Y/N. Don’t push me to the sidelines,” Beau contended firmly. “It does mean something. It never didn’t. You know that.”
“Do I? I didn’t push you anywhere, Beau. You’re the one who left,” you snapped and unapologetically shrugged your shoulders once the words escaped. You held back the tears that brimmed in your eyes. The afterglow evaporated. Soberly, you walked to the door and nodded towards the exit. “I think you should go… After all, it’s what you do best.”
Beau smacked his lips, his brow creasing as he averted his green eyes and thoughtfully glanced out the window, his hands resting on his squared-off hips. You knew it was a low blow, but you couldn’t stop yourself, either. It was the truth, and sometimes it hurt to hear it.
Nodding, he scratched his beard. “Alright, I’ll go, but we’re not done,” he said resolutely. Internally, you sighed. You forgot they grew quite stubborn in Texas, too. “Look, I know I’ve made mistakes. I screwed up a lot… especially with you. But I’m not giving up… He wouldn’t want me to.”
With that, he walked out the door. As it closed behind him, you exhaled a deep and long breath. Looking out the window, your eyes drifted from the parking lot and gazed up at the famous big sky above you.
You found yourself fascinated by the twinkling spots of light in the midnight blue. Pensively, you glanced down at your hand and twisted the golden band on your ring finger. Your eyes then found one of the brightest stars in the dark night sky, Polaris, hoping it would guide your sinking ship back home.

September 2021
“This is the most boring stake-out ever,” you complained and blew a raspberry in frustration, leaning back against the metal hood of the car as the Milky Way shone brightly above you and the cicadas chirped their song in the distance.
You had parked the SUV on top of a plateau in the middle of the Chihuahuan desert somewhere in Mexico, overlooking a cartel hideout, but far enough away to not be spotted.
“Yeah, I don’t think they’re coming tonight. We better check that intel again tomorrow,” Beau said with a sigh and took off his cowboy hat, laying it on the hood behind him.
“I’ll talk to my CI again,” you replied and sighed as well, your eyes feeling more tired than they’d ever been. It had been a long few months and sleeping wasn’t exactly high on your priority list.
Beau nodded and ran a hand through his hair, scratching his head in impatient irritability. He then pulled out a silver flask from the inner pocket of his Sherpa jacket and took a big swig.
You raised an eyebrow at him. “We’re still on the job, you know?”
He stared straight ahead, not daring to look at you as the crescent moon hung high above him. “Yeah, so?”
“Nothin’.” You shrugged, not wanting to start a fight or upset him. “Just noticed you’ve been doing that a lot lately. Since the funeral… It’s not like you.”
“Yeah, well, things change,” he said bitterly and took another sip.
“I worry about you,” you confessed quietly, the concern shimmering in your eyes.
At that, he finally turned his head and caught your gaze. “Don’t. You’ve got enough to worry about. You don’t need me on your list.”
“Well, it’s too late for that,” you said and sent him a small smile. “In fact, all I do is worry about you. You’re the only thing on the list, actually.”
“Hmm… I guess it’s nice to know that at least someone cares,” he muttered and drank again.
“Oh, don’t gimme that! Stop with the sulking and the feeling sorry for yourself,” you chided and sat up straight, getting a better look at him as you leaned your arms on your knees. “Did you talk to her since… you know?”
He threw you a sideways glance, lifting a brow. “Since we signed the divorce papers? Nope,” he replied and popped the p, taking another swig.
“Maybe it’s not too late. Just talk to her,” you repeated words you’d said a thousand times by now. “That’s all she wants, you know?”
“Yeah, I know.” Beau nodded quietly, a thick swallow stuck in his throat as he stared at the desolate landscape ahead.
“You talk to me about it. I’m sure Carla would understand,” you added.
“I talk to you ‘cause I got no choice. You deserved to know how I fucked up. ‘Sides, you were already knee-deep in this shit. No stoppin’ ya,” Beau said. His eyes found yours briefly before he averted his gaze again.
“I prefer shoulder-deep,” you joked lightheartedly. Then, the familiar heaviness returned, weighing down your chest, your heart aching. “Feels like quicksand around my throat.”
“Yeah,” Beau agreed quietly, tongue swiping across his lips. “That’s why I don’t want her anywhere near this. With Carla… I have a choice.”
“She’s a defense attorney. She’s seen some shit, you know?” you pointed out. “I mean, is it really worth losing your family over?”
“It’s more complicated than that,” Beau said stoically. He then let out a humorless laugh that you couldn’t place before putting the flask to his lips again.
“Okay, enough. Gimme that,” you snapped and grabbed the silver container from him, swallowing down a big gulp. You grimaced in disgust, everything in your body shuddering at the awful taste. “Dear fucking Lord! What the hell is that?”
In response, he snorted and gave you a passive twitch of his shoulders. “Little bit of everything I could find in the motel minibar.”
“Ew! You’re pathetic,” you retorted with a crinkle of your nose and meant it partially as a joke. You had always bantered like this, but this time, he took you by your word.
“Yeah, that’s what Carla said, too,” he belittled himself.
“Okay, stop with the pity party. I can’t take any more of this sad face you’ve got going on there,” you remarked with a huff. It broke your own heart to see his shattered like this. You missed his sunny laugh and the endless bad jokes and the nonstop chatter. He’d always been a good man, despite this newfound darkness of his, and deserved better.
“Well, get used to it. It ain’t going anywhere,” Beau replied, much to your dismay.
“Fine,” you relented and let out a sigh.
Silence fell between you two, only filled by the cicadas and the coyotes roaming about. Thoughtfully, you stared up at the beautiful night sky and spied a shooting star, feeling almost silly for daring to make a wish.
“Randy always said you should fight for the things that are worth fighting for,” Beau’s voice finally broke the silence. “Never give up.”
You peeled your eyes away from the stars above and looked at him. You chuckled softly at the memory. “Yeah, that sounds like him. He was annoyingly persistent like that.”
“I just don’t know if it’s worth it, I guess,” he said quietly.
“Of course it is,” you insisted. “You love Emily and Carla. They’re your family.”
“I’ve let them down… I’ve let a lotta people down, actually,” Beau said, and you could feel his eyes on you from your periphery.
“It’s been a tough year,” you said sympathetically.
“It has,” he agreed soberly and turned his gaze to the night sky above you. “You know what star this is?”
“The North Star, right?” you guessed, following his gaze to the Little Dipper constellation.
“Yeah, Polaris. It’s fixed in the sky while everything else moves ‘round it. It’s supposed to help you find your way when you’re lost,” he explained. “True north.”
“You’ll find your way again,” you told him confidently and nudged his shoulder, giving him a small but encouraging smile. “No one’s blaming you for what happened, Beau, so give yourself some grace, okay?”
He nodded, swallowing harshly as he met your gaze. “Thank you.”
Confused, you furrowed your brow. “For what?”
“Not leaving when you should’ve…”
You smiled softly. “We’re friends… and trauma bonded. I’d never do that to you.”
Beau matched your smile, but you could see the tears stinging in the corners of his forest-green eyes as the sadness overwhelmed him. “Shit,” he cursed, burying his face in his palms. He sniffed.
Concerned, your brows drew together. You laid your hand on his shoulder and gingerly stroked his back. “Beau, what’s going on?”
“I can’t…” He struggled for words, shook his head. Whatever was on his mind, he refused to voice it. His lower lip quivered before he covered his mouth with his palm, running a hand over his beard. Then, a sad smile grazed his face. “You know, I always thought Randy was the luckiest bastard alive.”
“Why?”
Beau didn’t respond. Instead, he closed the distance between you until his lips crashed against yours. You were shocked for a moment, froze down to your core. But then your hands found his cheeks and reflexively pulled him closer, a magnet you had no power over.
His hands did much the same, needily roaming your body and holding you flush against his own. His tongue hungrily slipped inside and devoured yours, tasting like the contents of the flask. Tequila, whiskey, and vodka were only a few you could decipher, but now the aftertaste was heaven instead of hell.
The kiss lasted till your head spun, a lack of oxygen forcing him to withdraw. It could’ve been chalked up to a drunken misstep, a glitch in the fabric of the universe that could’ve been swallowed by a black hole just as suddenly as it happened. But for you, it was enough to turn your whole world upside down and toss your planet out of orbit.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that,” he whispered, his breath ghosting against your lips. The further he retreated, the more you could see the battle raging in his mind. “Fuck,” he cursed and clasped his mouth with his palm.
He jumped off the hood and walked a few suicidal-crazed steps towards the cliff, his back standing like a tall wall between you. You watched his shoulders tense as his gaze drifted upwards to the sky. It seemed like he was praying.
Your fingers touched your kiss-swollen lips, hot and yearning for more. There was a tug on your heart, a rope lassoed around the muscle that pulled you to him.
“Beau?”
Your call of his name forced him to face you. An apologetic and torn look pervaded his features as he fought a combat in his mind and wrung with the feelings in his heart.
“It’s okay,” you said gently.
He met your eyes, a shimmer of hope in his as a glimpse of a smile twitched on his lips. Something you hadn’t seen in well over a year. It was so delicate, you weren’t sure it wasn’t a malfunction. A damn counterfeit.
“How?” His question hung from the moon with despair.
“I don’t know.”
He stared at you for a moment, the hesitation behind his eyes still prominent. You felt the magnetic pull again, and you could tell that he felt it, too.
And then, with a few strides, he was in front of you, hands in your hair as he claimed your lips in a scorching kiss that set your entire world on fire. You sunk into him, forever lost in a cosmos of green, sucked in by his gravity, air gone from your lungs, and feet never touching ground again.
Tumblr media
Beau sat in his car in the quiet parking lot of the motel, his gaze wandering up to the night sky above as he thoughtfully rubbed his chin. His other hand rested on the steering wheel, fingers tapping.
The same old war waged in his mind. Guilt filled his heart and bubbled to the surface. He debated whether he should turn the ignition or knock on your door. He always felt torn, unsure if you were a mistake or the best damn thing of his life.
His green eyes then fixed on the North Star, praying it would show him the way to your heart once more. This time, he swore to whoever was listening that he wouldn’t lose it. He’d keep it safe.
‘Cause the first time he kissed you, it surely changed everything for him.

everywhere ʚɞ miles morales x reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: 42!miles morales x reader
synopsis: you were a wreck. it’s your mom’s one year anniversary since she passed. miles helps you feel better
wc: 3.0k
warnings!: swearing, death, death jokes, violence, kissing, n word used
prev, next
you begrudgingly pulled your blanket off you and went to the bathroom to brush your teeth. you were fighting so hard to not crawl back in your bed and sob into your pillow. it was the anniversary of your mom's death and all you wanted to do was cry.
you got in your uniform and put sunscreen and lotion on your face, not bothering to do anything else. you grabbed your bag and your phone and went out your door. your dad was standing there making coffee when he turned around to walk over to you and embrace you in a hug. "good morning baby" he pulled you back to see your quivering lip.
"i know, i miss her too. say what how about i make her special pasta that she always made. or at least attempt to." he joked. "yeah sure whatever" you fanned your tears and went out the door. safiya was standing outside your building waiting to walk with you. "hey bebe how you doing?" she rubbed your back. " i'm fine" you faked a smile. she knew you were lying but she didn't say anything and you two just walked to school.
your classes went by quickly, probably because you spent 90% of them staring out the window. currently you were in physics class doing the exact same thing, it's been a month since your schedule switched and you and miles grew a little closer, as close as he'd let you. you'd exchanged numbers and followed each other on social media. and he would join you and safiya on the walk home, silently walking at your side while you chat with your best friend.
miles looked through the side of his eye and noticed you hadn't even picked up your pencil since class started and were just staring into space, dejected expression on your face. he nudged your shoulder and whispered "what's up with you today, chiquita?"
"mm? oh, nothing." you mumbled looking back down on your desk. "you ain't even write your name, ms bennett's gonna get on your ass" he snickered. you just snorted a bit before going back to stare out the window. it was a rainy day out, how ironic.
he could tell something was off with you so he decided to help you out. "here, i'm done" he moved his paper to your desk. "just copy it" he told you.
you smiled at him before writing down everything he had on his paper, on yours. "you look different today" referring to your bare face "in a good way" he added when he saw your eyebrows furrow. "um thanks" you finished your paper just in time for the bell to ring.
you were in the bathroom washing your hands when the melanie came in. "oh..hi y/n, we miss you in math" she said with a condescending smile on her face. you rolled your eyes and dried your hands before getting ready to leave. "oh by the way since your fine daddy's single, do you think you could give him my number." you face twisted in disgust and you turned around and shoved her up against the wall. "fucking say shit bout my parents again and i'll fucking kill you." you snapped, pushing her head back against the wall.
"bitch is that a fucking threat?!" she pushed you off her. "yes bitch! i'll fucking gut-" "girls, where are we supposed to be??" a hall monitor interrupted coming into the bathroom. you grumbled an insult before pushing pass her and heading to the roof.
miles looked over from his conversation and saw you storming off from the bathroom, melanie following shorty after with the monitor trailing behind her. "yo i'll see you later aight" he dapped his friend up and followed behind you.
his eyebrows furrowed when he saw you sneak through the rooftop door. he followed through the door and snuck up the stairs. he saw you hunched over on the ground and he could hear your sniffles from here. he didn't mean to slam the door but he did and it startled you. you darted your head over your shoulders, quickly wiping your tears when you saw him. "what are you doing here?" you put your head back on your knees. "saw you when you stormed outta the bathroom, you looked upset. then i saw you come up here and i wanted to make sure you ain't kill yourself" he joked, making you giggle.
"why you up here anyway? and why you crying?" he asked, sitting down next to you. "i told mr brown i'd water the garden." your voice was breaking. "doesn't explain why you're crying ma" he looked at you. you didn't say anything for a moment, taking a deep breath before you opened your mouth. "today was the day my mom died, like a year ago today" you told explained. "i promised myself i wasn't gonna cry today but that fucking cunt melanie loves to piss me off"
"that why you said you fought her?" he asked. "mhm" you mumbled. "well she's a fucking bitch. don't take that shit from her." he told you, you nodding your head. "but...i get it. my dad's dead and when he died, niggas thought something was funny? so that's why i had beat lincoln's ass" he said. "god the people here suck so bad. m'sorry about your dad." you told him. "it's aight, i'm sorry about your mom" you smiled and nodded your head, holding back the tears that dared to slip down your face. "it's alright to cry ma. don't hold back i'm not gonna judge you"
you blinked and your tears came flowing down your face, you leaned your head on his shoulder and he didn't move it he just let you cry. "i just wanna go see her grave, but it's all the way in westchester" you wiped your tears. he stayed silent for a moment "then let's go see it. i have my license and i know where my dad's old car is" he told you, rising to his feet. "what? we can't do that. we have school and you can't just take your dad's car." you rose to yours too.
"what, is he gonna stop me?" he said making you giggle. "that's crazy. you don't have to do this really it's fine" "it's alright, if it'll make you feel better i don't mind. come on let's go through the door in the green hallway" he said going through the roof door, you following behind. you opened your phone to tell safiya you were skipping with miles.
'miles is taking me to my mom's grave??😭
we're ditching come with us' you sent the text.
'girl WHAT 💀' she sent.
'that emoji feels familiar 🤔' you sent back.
'stop. anyways i cant come, bout to start a test. just be safe baby. i love you' she sent back.
miles scoped out the hallway making sure no teachers or monitors were around. he pushed through the door and you two made a break for it down the street. "wait, i wanna get something" you pointed to the grocery store down the street.
you both went in and you picked up a bouquet of pink roses, her favorite flowers, from the front. you went to another aisle and picked up a pack of ferrero rocher chocolates "these were her favorite. one time my dad stood her up with work on valentine's day so she and i watched her favorite movie and ate a whole big pack of these. we were so sick afterwards. after i threw up she gave me medicine and sang me to sleep" you lightly laughed, biting your lips to hold back your tears. "she sounds great" he said giving you a comforting smile. "she really was"
you checked out and miles took you to an old garage, tugging open the door, a black buick sat on the other side. "does this even still work?" you asked opening the door. "should. if not i'll just make it" he turned the key in the ignition, engine sputtering in response. he groaned, opening the electrical system. he pulled out two wires, hitting them together until a spark emerged and the engine started. he looked at you with a cocky smile "there, all we need is some gas" "how do you know how to do that?" you asked putting on your seatbelt. "don't worry bout it" he drove off.
after stopping at a gas station and filling up the tank, you two drove the hour and a half drive to westchester graveyard. he let you control the music and would occasionally glance over at you while you just stared out the window. he watched you put your legs up in criss cross apple sauce and doze off, smiling at the way your mouth fell open and he could hear your soft snoring.
he pulled into a nearby parking lot and tapped your thigh "we're here" he told you. you stretched and rubbed your eyes, looking around to make sure it was the right place. "you were snoring mad hard" he teased you. "i was not!" you gasped. "yes you were" "nuh uh, i do not snore" you retorted. "yes you do, could barely hear the music" he lied. you rolled your eyes fondly and opened the car door, grabbing the chocolates and the flowers.
he followed your lead to her headstone and you let yourself plop down next to it, resting the flowers down gently. "hey mom" you leaned your head back. "miss you, god even after a year it still doesn't feel real" your voice was breaking and miles figured he'd back off a little, sitting back on a bench nearby.
"i'm a junior now, me and safiya are still as close as ever but i've been making new friends. dad and i have been weird but if feels like it's getting back to normal now?? his cooking still sucks ass tho" you giggled "oh i got a job now, i'm a barista at mel's. i've been letting my hair grow longer and i redecorated my room. i started reading those poetry books that you had always wanted me to and brandy's been in my playlists on repeat, maybe it's silly to do this because i like to think that you know all this already cause you're watching over me."
"i miss you so much mommy. god i wish you would just come back, how is this not some stupid joke" you wiped your tears, but they wouldn't stop streaming down your face. you turned around and kneeled, knees sinking into the soil beneath you, hands resting on top. you couldn't control it anymore you let out a broken cry and shoved your face in your hands.
you felt miles tap your shoulder and pulled you to your feet. you looked at him, face scrunched up with bloodshot teary eyes. he moved a hand up to your cheek wiping away the tears that rolled down your face. "ugh this is embarrassing" you grumbled, shoving your face in his chest, and he put his arms around your shoulders. "it really isn't. i get it y/n, trust me it'll be okay. i'm not saying it's gon stop hurting but it'll hurt a little less with time." he told you.
he reached in his book bag and took out a small pack of tissues. he handed them to you so you could wipe your tears off. "put your leg up" he told you putting his hand on the underneath of your knee. you put your hands on his shoulders to support yourself and he used the tissues to clean your knees. you let out a small laugh "thanks. really thank you so much for this, you genuinely did not have to do this at all." "it's alright ma"
you checked your phone seeing a missed call and  texts rom your dad. 'where you at? school call me tell me you not there??' 'answer me before i call the police' they read. you giggled a little before telling him you were in westchester, which he did not take lightly and told you you were in trouble but right now you didn't care.
you went to the bench miles was sitting on and grabbed the chocolates. "you wanna eat some with me?" you asked him, holding out one to his hand. "you not gonna eat till you throw up right. i don't fuck with vomit." he put out his hand. "no!" you laughed which made him smile.
the two of you sat there on the bench for about another half an hour talking about whatever. your parents, your lives outside of school and knowing each other, etc. while eating the chocolates. you stopped yourself before you got too into them. "ah we should probably start driving back" you told him. "you sure?" he looked at you. "yeah, dad said i'm in trouble when i get home anyways" you got up and closed the container.
"well. since you're already out can i take you somewhere?" he asked. you twisted your mouth in thought "but my dad-" "well if you're already in trouble when you get back why not stay out a little longer" you let him convince you and got in the car for the drive back to brooklyn.
when you got to brooklyn he drove straight past your buildings and to a nearby unused subway station. you went down and he walked you all the way to the end of the platform going onto the side of the tracks. "alright are you trying to fucking kill me" you hesitated in following him. he chuckled "relax ma, no trains run here anymore it's an old track" he put his hand out to you and you took it and you both walked down the tracks. "alright we gotta hop the fence" he told you.
"are you crazy" you furrowed your eyebrows at him. "it's not even that high up, i'll go first" he climbed the fence and jumped down, swiftly landing on his feet. you followed behind and lost your balance when you were on top causing you to fall over but not before he caught you and put you down. "will you chill out" he laughed at your annoyed expression.
you kept walking for about a minute until you saw a wall full of graffiti. "my uncle takes me down here sometimes and we just paint" he told you, tossing a can at you. "you wanna do a mural for her?" he asked you. you smiled and nod your head "what does she look like?" he asked you. you pulled out your phone and opened the photo album you had dedicated to her, picked a photo and gave him the phone.
"wow she's beautiful. you guys look like twins" he said holding up the phone to a blank part of the wall. "she should fit right in there." "you think i know how to spray paint?" you said shaking the can. "i can help you."
and so he did, he found a color to match her skin tone and her facial features. he did most of the artwork, putting you on his shoulders to do the hair and the top of the rose. you stepped back and admired the finished product. it was your mom with a big smile on her face with her signature red lip, you added details such as your matching necklace, the beauty mark on her cheek, her smile lines and a hand that held a single pink rose.
you smiled and tears stung your eyes, mix of happy and sad but mostly happy. you looked at the time and saw it was almost 9 o'clock. "ohh my dad is gonna kill me" you groaned. "do you think you could take me home now?" you asked him. "yeah it's mad late" he picked up his bookbag and you guys walked back out of the track.
he drove the car back to the garage and you grabbed your book bag before you guys  got out, walking to your block getting to the front of your building. "thank you for today, like seriously. i don't know anybody who would've drove me out for two hours just to sit at a grave." you giggled. "you were sad and i didn't like that, wanted to make you feel better." he nudged your shoulder. "you did make me feel better, thank you" you threw your arm around him, pulling him into a tight hug wrapping around his waist.
you threw your arms up to his face, pinching his cheeks "who knew you were such a big softy morales" you said in a playful baby voice. he rolled his eyes before looking into yours, face softening. your hands were still on his face and his were still around your torso.
your eyes flickered down to his lips before going back to his eyes, you leaned in and pressed your lips to his. you quickly pulled back "oh sorry! don't know what came over me" you frantically apologized. "don't apologize" he whispered before pulling you back in. you threw your arms around his neck, hand rubbing against his fade. his hands were on your waist pulling you closer to him.
you were interrupted by your dad poking through the window five stories up. "y/n! you had me going crazy wondering what the hell you were doing and you out here kissing boys?!" he shouted, baffled expression on his face. "girl get inside" he told you through gritted teeth. "goodnight miles" you giggled pulling away from him. "g'night" he said back to you. "and boy who your parents is? cause i will be giving them a call! got my damn daughter out at night kissing all up on her" he pointed at miles, grumbling the last part. "dad relax!" you shouted up at him. "get inside!" "what does it look like i'm doing?!" you shouted back, opening the building door.

hil, love ur writing!!
could i request a Paul Lahote x Bella's Younger Sister! Reader (Luna Swan). y'know how in new moon Jacob does this like parkour climb into Bella's room (Imao). maybe like reader is doing her night time routine to get ready for bed then hears pebbles being thrown at her window and she already knows it’s her bf paul is out there. she opens the window for him and he climbs up showing off his strength. he immediately wraps his arms around Luna’s waist and puts his head into her neck/shoulders. she reciprocates his deep hug, rubbing her hands up n down his back and shoulders (bc he shows up shirtless in true werewolf fashion😌). she asks him all coy “what are you doing here” so he just explains how he needed to see her and be with her bc ofc we all know how protective of an imprint Paul must be. it’s all cutesy then they kiss and cuddle to sleep.
btw… obsessed with ur writing🫶🏼. literally im always checking back on ur account for updates💞
Pebbles
Paul Lahote x reader
Now Playing: Ho Hey by The Lumineers
I hummed to the song on the radio as I sat at my vanity, applying creams to my skin and oils to my hair. It had been a long day; school was tiring, I had a million assignments, and work was… well, it was the service industry, so about as good as could be expected.
The sun had set already. Dad was on a hunting trip for the winter break, and Bella had taken the opportunity to stay with Edward for a few days. This left me alone in the house, but it wasn’t all that bad.
I had gotten up to dig around under my desk for a face mask, finding it and sitting back on my bottom as I read the back for instructions.
A thud made me look over towards my window. I watched for a long moment as nothing happened, until a small pebble hit the window again. I got up, making my way over to see who was there.
I peered through the glass, only to see a familiar face staring back at me. I smiled as I saw him, pushing my lacy curtains back to unlatch my window and open it.
“What are you doing?” I call coyly, laughing at Paul as he grinned up at me
“What, I can’t come see my girlfriend? Can’t make sure she’s okay after a long Monday without her?” He teased, adding, “Watch out, I’m coming up.”
I take several steps back, watching as he takes a running leap up to the ledge of my window. I watch as he shimmies his broad shoulders and long legs through the small opening, laughing as his foot gets caught in the curtain.
He scowls at me, taking long strides forward to envelop me in a hug. He presses his face into the crook of my neck, bowing his body over mine to reach, and his arms circle my waist tightly.
I sigh with content as I wrap my arms around him, one over his shoulder to take through his hair and the other around his torso to run my hand up and down his spine.
“You’re lucky Charlie isn’t here,” I murmur, “If he saw you climbing up here, he’d bust in to kick your ass, and also to give you a shirt.”
He snickers, complaining that “Shirts are restricting, and I run hot.”
“‘It’s a werewolf thing’.” I quote, smiling as I add, “I was about to put on a face mask, you want to join?”
He pulled his head back to eye me, suspicious of my proposition. I only laughed at him, pulling away and reaching for the tube of “Green Tea Detoxifying Face Mask Gel”
---
We end up cuddled together on the bed, the fan blowing towards both our faces to dry the mask.
He’s laying on his side, his hand propping his head up. His other arm is wrapped around my waist, keeping my back secured to his chest as we watch reruns of old movies.
I yawn, so comfortable that I’m almost falling asleep.
“Tired?” He asks quietly, and I shrug.
“Comfortable,” I reply, “You’re so warm, makes me want to fall asleep.”
He laughs a little, reaching up to poke my cheek, “Mask’s dry, let’s take them off.”
I groan as I roll to my feet, padding to the bathroom to peel off the mask. I do mine first, leaning over the counter and carefully taking the dry, rubbery substance off of my skin and throwing it in the trash. When I’m done, I haul myself up to sit on the counter as Paul props his arms on either side of my legs.
I take off his mask, careful of his eyebrows and the short hair on his chin and jaw.
“You didn’t shave this morning,” I comment, turning to throw the part of the mask I had gotten off into the trash.
“Ran late today, Sam dragged me to school before I could,” He replied, his eyes glued to my face, “Jared hogs the bathroom trying to fix his hair.”
I smile, peeling off the nose strip now.
“Tell him to quit sleeping with his hair wet, and he won’t have to fix it as much in the morning.”
He sighs, “I’ve tried. He’s stubborn.”
I hum, “Reminds me of someone else I know.”
He rolls his eyes, pinching my thigh and making me laugh.
“Yeah, I’m sure,” He says sarcastically, “But the only stubborn hot-head you love is right here, letting you torture him with face masks.”
I laugh, “You know you love them!”
Again, he rolls his eyes, leaning in to press a kiss to my lips as he says, “I love *you*, I tolerate the masks.”
I giggle as he presses dozens of quick kisses across my face, never more grateful for life than I am in this moment.
———
Thank you so much for the request!! It was super cute and I had so much fun writing it 🥰
And I’m so glad you like my writing!! That made me so happy 😁 I really hope you enjoyed this, and lmk if you have any more requests 💕

Break Me Down - Part 8
Tumblr media
Pairing: Soldier Boy/Ben x Female Reader
Summary: You’re a private investigator by trade, but now you happily sit at a desk — leading a surveillance team at Supe Affairs. After managing to end Homelander in New York, Soldier Boy escapes custody. You are recruited for the manhunt, joining Butcher’s team.
Truly, you joined the S.A. for the right reasons. But after you become his accidental hostage, Soldier Boy will break down every single one of them…
💚 Break Me Down Masterlist
AN: Thank you guys so much for all the wonderful feedback on the last chapter! It made my week. 🥰 I truly thrive on hearing back from all of you — it gives me the fuel I need to finish this story!
(And it's rapidly becoming a beast lol.)
Word Count: 6,000 Warnings: 18+ only! Smut, mentions of past domestic abuse/trauma, PTSD, hurt/comfort, fluff, and a (small) cliffhanger.  
Tumblr media
Part 8: Something In the Way…
It was three more rounds before he finally let you sleep. 
Or rather, you couldn’t help but drift off. Ben had said he would help you sleep, and in his words, a promise is a fucking promise.
After you’d scarcely recovered from the first round, he’d taken you from behind in your bed. You’d repaid the favor by dropping to your knees for him in the shower, after which he’d propped you up against the bathroom counter and ate you out with his talented tongue until you really did see fucking stars. 
But he’d gotten what he wanted; your voice reverberated his name off the bathroom walls with superior acoustics…  
And when you next woke up, to your surprise, Ben was still there. He was sitting up against the headboard and watching a nearly silent TV while he smoked a blunt.
“What time is it?” you muttered. 
“Around 6 a.m.,” he replied.
For God’s sake. He had to be tired by now. 
You rubbed at your bleary eyes and turned onto your side. For a moment, you just stared at his profile, wondering what the hell you were going to do if Butcher and the rest of your team actually found you. 
“Go back to sleep,” Ben said. He glanced over at you after blowing some smoke. A smirk started to curve his lips. “Thought you’d be knocked out until noon.” 
You too, if you were honest. Your insides felt like warm jelly. 
“What keeps you up if even last night can’t tire you out?” you asked. Ben didn’t answer you. He faced the TV again and took a long drag of his blunt.
Slowly you sat up, wincing at the soreness in your muscles, in your legs, arms, and between your thighs. Your entire body felt like a bag of stones, but it was a good ache. A thoroughly sated one.
You managed to sit up next to him and reach over to lay a tentative hand on his chest. It was warm, even with the ceiling fan and AC on full blast above you. He briefly looked down at your hand, then at your face. 
“What’s it really like?” you asked, before your inner filter could catch up with your brain. “The new power the Russians gave you.”
His expression changed from relaxed to tightening around the edges. 
“They didn’t give me anything,” he said, puffing away. 
You read between the lines of that statement, surprised that he was even that honest about what he went through in Siberia.
They carved it into him, you realized. Like a wound he couldn’t heal from. Without wanting to, you remembered the CIA files you’d studied about his imprisonment. 
“Did it hurt?” you asked, moving your hand down to the center of his chest. The corner of Ben’s mouth twitched humorlessly. 
“Nothing fucking hurts me,” he said. His voice was flat, and matter-of-fact. But he didn’t even look at you. 
Maybe he didn’t want you to catch the lie in his eyes. But as curious as you were, you didn’t want to push too hard. Not for the first time since you got here, you realized that you weren’t really sure what you were doing. 
Tumblr media
During the day, the two of you had your own lives. You swam in the pool, trained yourself in the gym, and read in the garden. You played cards with Loco and Saul when they had time for a break (from whatever it was Soldier Boy had them doing). 
And over dinner one evening, Frank even told you that his daughter was fifteen going on sixteen, and sweet as pie, but she could get an attitude real quick.
“You remind me of her sometimes,” Frank remarked.
You scoffed. “What’s that supposed to mean?” 
Frank’s answer was merely a wry raise of his brow. 
You just rolled your eyes and carved into your steak. Simone’s cooking was in rare form tonight.
Tumblr media
And at night, Ben invaded your room like it was his own.
You couldn’t help but let him in, and into your bed. You were frankly surprised that he hadn’t gotten bored of you now that he’d gotten what he wanted. 
But apparently, he felt the same way as you…that one taste was just not enough. 
Like now, while the radio played on the nightstand. And he had you naked and writhing beneath him on the bed. 
One of his hands rested below your ribs, holding you down while his head was caged between your thighs. Your knees were squeezing his head like a grape, but of course, all he felt was encouraged.
Your moans were getting higher, more keening as his tongue worked inside your hot core. Meanwhile, his thumb circled and pressed at your clit relentlessly.  
Your grip threatened to pull out a chunk of his hair, your leg wrapping tighter around his neck. “Ben…goddamn it…”
“A little busy right now, sweetheart,” he teased, taking a beat to nip hard at the inside of your thigh. It had you bucking against his chin with a gasp. His gaze raised up to yours, dark and filled with desire between your legs. Sweaty locks of his brown hair were falling over his brow. 
Though you were panting for breath, you managed to sweep his hair away from his dewy forehead. His eyes traced the path of your hand, but he stared back up at you again. 
“Tell me what you want while I’m still feeling generous,” he demanded. Two of his fingers found their way into your entrance, a placeholder for his mouth. “I’ll fucking finish you just like this, have you coming apart on my tongue—”
You were surprised he was giving you a choice at first. But you saw his intentions in his eyes—he wanted to fill you up regardless. His dick was straining hard against your thigh, and your core was pulsing with need anyway.
“Want you inside me,” you panted, though not without a cheeky smile of your own. “Almost as much as you wanna be in me.”
Ben smirked and wiped at his mouth and chin. “Yeah, fucking right. You know how hard you’re squeezing my goddamn fingers right now?”
He twisted said fingers inside you, making you utter a strangled sound. His smirk deepened, but he withdrew them just long enough to line himself into your entrance and slide right in, with little resistance as he bottomed out.
You clung to his shoulders as you shuddered at being entirely filled to the brim. You still weren’t used to that feeling—of being consumed from the inside out. 
“Jesus fuck,” he muttered, “so fucking tight.” 
You squeezed around his hips with your legs, digging your heels into his ass. Your hold was desperate, but Ben just braced himself above you.
“For god’s sake,” you blurted. “What’re you waiting for?”
Even he was breathing harder now, maybe more from restraint than exertion. His smirk was devilish though. “What’s the magic word, baby doll?”
You couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you fucking kidding me right now?” 
Ben rocked against you a little, but not enough to give you what you wanted. Just enough to drive you insane. On some level, you had to admire his restraint.
“Fucking say it,” he said, his gaze firming. “Unless you want me to leave that pretty pussy on fire.”
You had a hard time believing that one, considering he was the one who couldn’t seem to go twenty-four hours without getting some. But you were just desperate enough in this moment to oblige his demands. 
You hooked a hand behind his neck and pulled him down to crash your lips into his. You licked into his mouth and bit sensuously on his bottom lip. He rumbled a deep, pleased sound that you felt in your chest.
And you felt his hand spanning the small of your back. Your fingers once again dove into his hair. 
Eventually you spoke against his lips, “Please. I fucking need you…”
His lips twitched in satisfaction. But he read the sheer wanting in your eyes, and the bit of vulnerability in your voice. Like you hadn’t been taken apart quite like this before. Or maybe it had really been that long for you. 
Whatever it was, this seemed to matter to you. The way you responded to his every touch, the way you demanded from him, was incredibly fucking hot.
So he was more than willing to help you make up for lost time. 
Ben licked his already wet lips and guided you back down. He actually put his all into fucking you. Not only were you the hottest piece of ass he’d had in a long time, but it was a point of pride for him. 
He wanted to be the only one you remembered—the one who’d turned you inside out and made you forget that you were supposed to hate him. 
Because yeah, he was that fucking good. And you were worth the effort. 
He held you tight enough to bruise as your release hit you in waves, sending hot tingles all over your body and making you freaking light-headed. Your tightening inner walls around his cock brought him along with you, and he spilled into you with a straining grunt. 
Once he’d pulled out and slid onto the bed next to you, an exhausted sigh fell from between your lips. But Ben turned to you with an almost boyish grin. 
“You mentioned something about the new Bond movie,” he said. 
You blinked at him, for a moment uncomprehending. Then you had to laugh. “Yeah, I said that an hour ago. Then you all but tackled me onto the bed.” 
He shrugged and turned on your TV. 
“Put it on while I wash up,” he said, tossing you the remote. You had a feeling it was because he still hadn’t gotten the hang of the apps on smart TVs. You sent him a narrowed look, but you found Skyfall on Netflix. 
“It’s not new, exactly. New to you, maybe,” you quipped. 
“I already know it’s not gonna be as good as Connery, but I’ll give this British asshole a try,” he said from inside the bathroom.  
“You will, huh?” you asked with a grin. “Didn’t think you were into that sort of thing.”
“What?” 
He finally came back out, still buck naked, and returned to your side on the bed. He gave you a quirking brow. 
“Never mind,” you said with a chuckle. You went to the bathroom to clean yourself up too, then dragged on a large shirt over a pair of underwear. By the time you returned to the bed, Ben had gotten a bowl of popcorn and, of course, a large blunt.
You knew he was self-medicating. According to Butcher and Hughie, the guy had been suffering from PTSD big time…well, you hadn’t needed them to tell you that.
Even though your interactions with him before now had been somewhat limited, you knew that he couldn’t sleep. He boozed and drugged hard, from what you’d seen of his hangovers in the morning. 
The rest of it, he tried to keep a tight lid on. A byproduct of the bygone “never share your honest man feelings” era. Butcher was another one. But you were perceptive enough to see that Ben was hiding.
You were still curious though; still wanted to know what it was he hid behind stoicism and lust.  And what then?
“I’ll give Hollywood one thing. The stunts and effects are fucking incredible now,” Ben said. He was glued to the car chase on the TV screen. He was almost like a little kid, his eyes lighting up with every explosion and seemingly impossible move James Bond made to evade his enemies.
It had been a while since you’d seen this movie, but then it dawned on you that there was a certain erotic-ish scene between Bond and the villain, Raoul Silva, that you weren't sure of how Ben would react.
You shook your head. Another consequence of him being from a much different time, along with his outdated views on gender roles, among other things. 
No matter how frustrating he could be, you reminded yourself of the night he helped you cook. And the night he saved you. 
He could change, you reasoned. Maybe. With the proper motivation—
A shootout with a machine gun on the screen jolted you a bit, interrupting your thoughts. You reached over to the bowl of popcorn in Ben’s lap and grabbed a handful. But when you heard his breathing shallow, you glanced at him and frowned in concern. 
His gaze was on the TV, but his eyes were glazed over, slightly dilated. He was sitting very still, and he looked pale. 
“Ben,” you tried, with a tentative hand on his bare chest. His skin was hot to the touch, and clammy with sweat. 
“Hmm, what?” He turned his head towards you, but you he wasn’t really hearing you. His gaze ran through you, and above your head.
“Ben,” you said, more firmly. You kneeled next to him, grabbing his shoulder for leverage, and grabbed his face to turn it towards you. He blinked down at you. 
Your name fell from his lips, almost like a question. He wasn’t able to focus on you though. You called his name again and took his face with both hands. 
“Wherever you are in your mind right now, you’re here with me. Stay with me!” You raised your voice. His skin was getting really hot. 
You gasped and had to let go of him when it threatened to burn you.  
His chest started to glow and hum. Your eyes widened, and finally, so did his. 
Ben pushed you away from him and knocked you clean off the bed. He managed to angle himself with his chest upwards, just in time for the nuclear power in his chest to carve a huge hole into the ceiling, through the entire roof of the mansion, and up into the sky. 
Afterwards, Ben slumped, taking in ragged breaths and wiping sweat from his face. But then his eyes widened with realization. He looked over and saw you prone on the floor. 
He slid off the bed and went to you, dropping a knee at your side and reaching a hand to your cheek. He called your name once, then twice. When you didn’t wake up, his hand hesitated, then moved to feel your pulse. 
He felt it thrum beneath the pads of his fingers. You were alive, just knocked the fuck out for a bit…
So he eased you into his arms and slid your hair away from your face, unwilling to admit, even to himself, that he was worried. 
Not until you roused in his arms did he let out a subtle, relieved breath.
He gave you a crooked smile. “Hey, sweetheart.”
You groaned. “What the hell…”
Your beautiful eyes opened and met his. 
“You with me?” he asked. 
“Yeah,” though you winced at a nod. Your gaze shifted behind him and a soft gasp fell from your lips. Ben glanced over his shoulder, and the two of you looked up at the giant hole in the ceiling that was letting the bright glow of the moon into your bedroom. 
There was a mess of debris and wood and plaster all over the room. Even you and Ben were covered in a fine layer of it. He was avoiding your gaze now.
But you couldn’t find it in yourself to be mad at him. 
You just sighed and offered him a smile.
“At least now I have a window in here,” you joked. “Was getting stuffy as hell."
Tumblr media
That night, you slept in his room. You practically drowned in his large, plush bed that smelled like his cologne and aftershave. 
Though you hoped he didn’t expect you to stay here from now on. As much as you were starting to like him (and you still didn’t want to admit that fact), there were times when you needed your privacy. 
By the time you woke and started your day, however, Ben led you to a new room. It was bigger, with nicer furnishings, including a king-sized bed instead of a queen. It was bigger than your entire apartment back home in New York.
“Wow,” you said, turning to him with a smile. “Thank you.”
Though at that point, you knew Stockholm syndrome was real. 
Ben shrugged, returning your smile a bit. “Got twenty more of these. No big deal.”
“Right.” You raised a brow, then turned to survey your surroundings with your hands on your hips.
He’d insisted on carrying all your things himself (likely due to an old-fashioned sense of machismo-backed chivalry), even though the room was on the same floor as your old one. It was much closer to his, you noticed.  
Then you felt his hands snaking down your sides from behind, molding to the curve of your waist. You felt the warmth of his chest through his clothing as he pressed against your back. 
“Time to break it in,” he said, with the deepening turn of his voice that too often made your insides quiver and melt into goo. 
“Do you ever get tired of fucking?” you quipped. Though it lost its effect somewhat when you leaned against him, all too willing. 
Ben chuckled into your ear. “Take it as a fucking compliment, sweetheart. Your pussy is the sweetest I’ve had since before I went under.”
That made you pause. You turned in his arms and looked up at his face with a challenging brow. You wondered if he was just sweet-talking you (his version of it, anyway), or if he really meant that shit. 
“Don’t believe me?” he asked. 
“You’ve been plowing through hookers and escorts for months. Professionals,” you pointed out. “You don’t have to lie to me just to butter me up.”
“Why the fuck would I lie about some stupid shit like that?” he retorted. You frowned at him.
“Because it’s not stupid,” you said.
You pushed his hands from you and turned away, but he held you fast by your wrist, pulling you back toward him. You frowned in annoyance at his manhandling.
“What’s the real reason you hadn’t fucked anyone in three years?” he asked. Though it was more a demand than a question. 
“Why’re you so hung up on that?” you asked. “It’s no big deal.”
“Why are you so shocked by what I said?” he countered. He was giving you a choice: answer one question, or the other. 
You let out a frustrated breath and waved your arms in exasperation.  
“I was busy, okay?” you said. “Vought had me on tough hours and shitty details. I didn’t have time for a life.”
And after the things you’d seen, you didn’t much feel like interacting with people, be they supes or normal humans. 
“That’s not the real reason,” Ben said. His fingers held your chin so you couldn’t look away. In the deep green of his eyes, you saw the same curiosity that plagued you.
Maybe…maybe if you gave him an inch, he’d give you one. 
Metaphorically speaking.
“I didn’t like who I was,” you confessed at last. “I just…I don’t know. Nothing felt right back then. It just took me a while to finally do something about it.” 
He seemed to consider that, and you.
You took the opportunity of his distraction to extricate yourself from his grip, and you ventured further into your new room. Your eyes lit up when you found an old record player sitting on a dresser, and a basket full of vinyl on the floor next to it. 
“Wow, seriously retro,” you said with a chuckle. But you knelt down and started flipping through the collection. Ben followed you. With his arms crossed, he looked over your shoulder at the record you fished out. Abbey Road by the Beatles, 1969. You placed the record and set the needle at a specific song.
The drums kicked off into a familiar electric guitar melody. Then John Lennon’s voice echoed through the room. 
“Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover…”
Nostalgia flooded through both of you, albeit for different reasons. For you, it reminded you of your grandpa (on your mother’s side). He’d dedicated this song, “Something,” to your grandma on their 50th anniversary. He’d made sure you played it again a year later, at her funeral. 
Meanwhile, this song always reminded Ben of fingerfucking Farrah Fawcett at a Beatles concert. Ah, the ‘70s. A wild fucking time.
“Good choice,” he remarked. 
You flashed him a smile. 
And with a sigh, you turned to sit against the dresser while the record played. You pat the ground next to you, and while Ben looked reluctant, he eventually sat down beside you. It seemed he had nothing better to do.
“I dabbled in music myself, you know?” he told you, with a smug raise of his brow. “Had a few hits on the charts.”
You grinned in amusement. “Yeah, I had to muck through every one of your cheesy-ass music videos.”
“Hey, every one of those fucking singles were gold.” He shot you an indignant look. “What, had to?”
“When I was researching you,” you said with a chuckle. He raised a brow at that. 
“Oh, yeah?” He rubbed a hand over his beard and met you with a critical eye. “What else did you dig into?” 
You met his eyes, and you knew he had some idea of what you were thinking. 
Ben let out a breath through his nose, craving some reefer. 
“Ah. That, huh?” he said. After a moment to gather your courage, you took a breath.
“Ben—”
“It’s not worth fucking talking about,” he said, a bit of grit edging in his voice. 
“It is if you’re still blowing craters into ceilings, Ben,” you replied sharply. “Do you even remember what happened yesterday?”
His steely silence was all you needed to know. 
“Look, I’ve gone through some shit too,” you said. “But forty years? …I know I’ll never completely understand what you went through, but—”
“You don’t have a fucking clue,” he said. His eyes were sharp, but also guarded. 
You couldn’t help it. The footage you watched was playing inside your mind in perfect scenes. You remembered the sound of his desperation, his struggle. And it had been all-too familiar to you.
“Maybe,” you agreed. “But I do get having shit that flashes behind your eyes, like a bad movie. Things you can’t forget. Things that won’t even do you the mercy of letting you sleep.”
Ben was reluctant to meet your eyes, as if even that small thing would be an admission of weakness. But when he did, you knew he would see a kindred spirit.
“Things that clog up the works,” you continued. You wet your dry lips, swallowing past a tendril of nerves. “And things that should be easy get…complicated. Like watching a movie, or…”
You had to take in a somewhat shaking breath, turning your face away. 
It allowed Ben to look at you a fraction softer. His mind was able to flash away from some of the past, to a more recent memory: the first time you’d pulled him into your room and let him into your bed. 
You’d pleasantly surprised him a few times that night, but there was one moment where he hadn’t known what to do next. 
When he saw panic instead of pleasure take over, and however briefly, he’d wondered if he truly was the monster everyone seemed to think he was.
So now, Ben couldn’t help but reach out to you. The back of his hand touched your neck. Your eyes widened a fraction when his thumb brushed down the column of your throat. 
“What happened to you?” he finally asked. He seemed more than just curious. There was more behind his eyes, and enough earnestness for you to consider trusting him with this part of you…
But still, you were reluctant to give him that big of an inch. 
“It’s only fair,” he pointed out. “The CIA gave you the full low down on me.”
Once again, you sighed. Can’t argue with fair. 
You rested you head back against the wooden dresser as “Oh! Darling” started to play from the record. Now didn’t feel like a particularly good time for a doo-wop, but such was your reality.
“I told you about my dad, right?” you said. Ben inclined his head.
“Something about the family business.”
You nodded. “He trained me. How to read people, how to fight…but he was the first one we had to defend ourselves from.”
Ben considered that with a deepening frown. He’d had an idea this story was going that way, but hearing you come out and say it (even without really being able to say it) just made him angry. His hands clenched into fists where they rested at his sides, on the ground. Until something you said called his attention.
“We?” he repeated. You nodded again. 
“My mom, and my younger sister,” you said, with a tremulous breath. “He was a drunken bastard for most of my childhood. I was about thirteen when he put my mom in the hospital, and it was…bad.” 
You swallowed past a lump of emotion in your throat—mostly at the guilt. If it hadn’t been for you, and your weakness, your mom wouldn’t have needed to intervene. She wouldn’t have had to try to protect you…
“From there, my grandparents got us out of that house,” you said, with a suspect sniff. “Mom finally divorced him.”
Unfortunately, the story didn’t end there.
By the time you were in high school, your father had gotten through his court-ordered rehab and managed to get his life back together. He built his P.I. firm back up, and by all appearances, he seemed to turn his life around. 
He convinced your mother of it enough that she let you work for him after school.
You hadn’t wanted to, but your father had a way of manipulating you too. He reminded you that your grades were shit (I fucking wonder why?). You had little chance of making it to college, so at least he could teach you a trade. 
“I’ll even pay you,” he’d said. And you’d taken the bait. 
He’d been unrelenting in your training, as he was in most respects. As a former Marine, he was rigid in his discipline, demanding perfection from you. 
However, when he felt his lessons weren’t being drilled into your head, he reinforced them with his calloused hands. 
And when Vought came to him, offering him a contract, he negotiated one for you too, without even asking if that was what you wanted. But you went along with it…until you couldn’t anymore.
“I finally broke contact with him when I left to join Supe Affairs,” you finished, quickly wiping a tear from your cheek. You glanced over at your captive audience with slight hesitation.
Ben looked stoic on the surface, calm even. But you didn’t know that it had taken every cell of self-restraint in him to stay quiet. Your red, shining eyes, the way you’d had to stop a few times to collect yourself—it all grated on him in the worst way. 
“Christ on a cross,” he muttered, rubbing a hand over his mouth and chin. “Why the fuck did you work with him?” 
“I told you. I was a kid—”
“No, I mean when he got the fucking deal from Vought,” he said tersely. “You could’ve split. Found yourself a husband, got your own life. Why the fuck would you sell yourself out like that?”
Your lips pursed. “First of all, I don’t need a husband to have my own life. Second, I’m not the only one here who worked for Vought.”
Ben huffed. He wanted to call you a fucking idiot. He wanted to say, See? This is why you need a real fucking man in your life. 
But with daddy issues this bad, you’d probably fuck that up too. 
“Answer the goddamn question,” he said instead, though none too gently. 
You gave him a soft glare. Didn’t he realize how hard it was for you to say all of this aloud, let alone confide in him?
But now that he did know, maybe he’d be more likely to open up to you. You would be able to understand him better, and maybe…maybe one day, you could convince him to let you go. 
So you felt you had no choice but to answer his real question. 
Why the fuck did you follow your father to Vought?
The truth was, that man had a way of getting into your head, living in your skin, and making it crawl.
“He’s a manipulative bastard,” you said. 
He knew how to work you, just like your mom. And your mother was…well, damaged. You knew you couldn’t rule yourself out of that one either. 
However, the thought did spark your own curiosity. 
“What were your parents like?” you asked. 
The question seemed to surprise him. His frustration with you melted into a more uncertain frown. You bumped his shoulder with yours.
“Come on. It’s only fair,” you teased. A smile lifted his lips, but his eyes became rueful.
“She was a good woman,” he replied, speaking of his mother. “Quiet maybe, unlike you.”
You smiled in amusement at that. 
“But elegant,” Ben said. The softening edges of his smile told you volumes.
“She didn’t grow up with much, so when she married my father, she learned how to live in his world," he said. "But she still cooked and cleaned and pretty much ran the house, even though we had people to do that shit.”
“How did she meet your dad?” you asked. You knew his father’s family was from old money. He’d inherited his empire from his father before him.
Ben glanced at you. “She sang at this club…a nice one though, not some fucking dive. She wasn’t the star or anything, but my father noticed her. Said she was the only one who could pull off red lipstick without looking like a whore.”
That made you roll your eyes, which provoked an amused grin out of Ben.
“Charming,” you remarked. It must’ve really upset the old apple cart when his father married his mother. You wondered how she’d felt about Ben becoming Soldier Boy…
“Doesn’t sound familiar?” he asked. "Pretty girl in red, croonin' for a bunch of assholes in a musty fucking club?"
At first, you were confused.
And then, you realized the reason for his not-so-subtle grin. With an incredulous blush, you supposed that you and Ben had met in much the same way as his parents. 
Well, that’s not creepy at all, said the more rational part of your brain.
…Or maybe, weirdly romantic, whispered the other part. The part that had probably caved after you watched Ben try and fail to chop onions for the first time.  
“What was your favorite thing about her?” you asked. 
“You know, all my pictures of her are in black in white…I don’t even remember what color her eyes were,” he admitted. “But I remember her voice. Smooth as warm butter. She’d hum with the radio whenever she cooked. If Dad wasn’t there, she’d belt out a tune or two. I’d sit in the kitchen and watch.”
Imagining that scene made you smile softly. 
“Her captive audience,” you teased. Ben took it with a quirk of his mouth. 
“What about your dad?” you asked. He turned to you with a knowing look. You both knew what the man had thought of Ben. But you wanted to hear it in his own words.
“My father was a stern man,” he said. The softness was gone, and your smile fell. “This kind of larger-than-life force when I was a kid… Of course, when I became a man, he didn’t consider me worth the fucking effort. Not even when I became a hero, and everybody in the fucking world knew my name, he couldn’t admit that I’d fucking surpassed him.”
You sighed. More than anyone, you understood the underlying resentment in Ben’s tone. The kind of young recklessness that pushed him into becoming Soldier Boy, trying to prove his father wrong. 
“He thought you cut corners to do it. And while he wasn’t wrong,” you said, as gentle as possible. You held your ground when Ben looked sharply at you. “You didn’t deserve to be ignored either.”
Ben scoffed at that, as if he didn’t give two shits one way or the other. You knew better. 
So the two of you kept talking, sitting there on the floor long after the record finished. You traded stories and bickered as you often did.
But when you managed make him laugh, genuine, hand-on-chest, and almost boyish, you had to try and stem off a blush as you felt a pleasant flutter in your belly.
Tumblr media
“It’s been two fucking months since you lost him in Colombia, and what do you have to show for it?” Grace Mallory said into the screen of her cell phone. FaceTime was only glitching slightly, at least. 
On the other side of the looking glass, Butcher was annoyed.
“He’s like a coil of smoke,” he said. “Pulled a motherfucking Houdini act. I have half a mind to think he’s gettin’ some help. Other than the ex-military cunts he recruited on the road.” 
Grace thought for a moment. “Give me five minutes.”
Butcher hung up before she did. With a purse of her lips, she searched for another number in her contacts. Some personal assistant answered the line.
“Get me Stan Edgar,” she said. 
“Well, he’s actually in a meeting right now—”
“Now,” Grace snapped. “Unless you want a CIA squad storming the tower for withholding evidence.”
In less than thirty seconds, Stan’s familiar monotone greeted her.
“Good afternoon, Grace,” he said. “How can I help you?”
“You fucked up, Stan,” she replied, resting back in her office chair. “This doesn’t bode well for you.”
“To what matter are you referring?”
“You know exactly what. I’m going to ask you this once,” she said. “If I don’t get a straight fucking answer, I’ll have no other recourse but to rake through your records all over again. And we both remember how pleasant that was.”
“We’ve done nothing but comply with the government’s demands.”
“Right,” Grace scoffed. “Listen to me. If I find out that you’ve withheld information about Soldier Boy’s location—or even so far as helping him evade my grasp—I will dig so far up your ass, you won’t be able to fucking breathe.”
There was a pause on the other line. 
Eventually, however, the little toad spoke. 
“You’ll have the coordinates shortly.”
Grace’s mouth curved with a grim smile, and she hung up. 
Meanwhile, in his office at Vought Tower, Stan sighed and turned to his Chief of Security, Jon.
“Should we send them the comprehensive list of Soldier Boy’s safe houses?” he asked.
“No. Just the one in Colombia,” Stan said. “But Jonathan, it is time for our contingency plan.”
Jon met Stan’s gaze with a nod. 
“I’ll give the order.”
Tumblr media
AN: 😬 Welp, things are going to start getting bumpy from here lol.
Next Time:
His frown deepened the moment he saw you, which you didn’t quite understand.
“Ben,” you said, even though it was an effort to do so. Every breath was like a hot knife cutting deeper into your side.
Your eyes closed at the pain, and at tears that burned down your cheeks. It also cut through the brain fog enough for you to realize this was bad.
It was very bad.

Soap steals Ghost’s sweatshirts all the time and uses them as pillows— they smell like Simon, and Johnny falls asleep instantly with them.
Soap used to sleep by himself without issue. Then he got with Ghost and now he can’t sleep without him. He needs to feel the man next to him, be held by him, in order to get a decent night’s rest. But he wasn’t aware of this change until Ghost went on a mission without him.
That night was miserable.
He was tossing and turning, missing the warmth of Ghost's arms and he secure he felt in them. Soap managed to get three hours of sleep that night and was dragging his feet the rest of the day. Gaz found him resting his head on his desk, groaning.
"What's with you?"
"Couldn't sleep last night."
"Really? Normally when you can't sleep at night it's because Ghost... kept you up."
"Well, turns out he keeps me up by not being there at all."
"Oh... Maybe try talking to him on the phone before you go to sleep? Might help."
Soap decided to try that later that day after settling into bed. Ghost picked up after a couple rings.
“Hey, Johnny. Shouldn’t you be asleep?”
“Should. Can’t sleep.”
“Oh, love. Something troubling you?”
“Yea, my usual bedmate isn’t here.”
Ghost chuckles, “That can’t be helped.”
They talked four a couple hours until Ghost had to get off. Soap sighed when the call ended, feeling tired but unsure if he would actually sleep. He sighs and closes his eyes, trying to quiet his mind. But sleep did not come to him until two hours before his alarm. He woke to the alarm with a groan.
“Fuck.”
Soap wouldn’t sleep peacefully again until after Ghost returned from his mission. Soap didn’t even know he came back, he was busy hanging over his desk staring at a report, trying to will it to complete itself. Ghost walked in and Soap was ready to snap at whoever walked into his office without permission.
“It’s common courtesy to knock before entering-“
He stopped talking when he saw Ghost, who was mostly amused by his tone.
“Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?”
Soap quickly got up, knocking his chair over, before he ran over to Ghost. He pulled him into a tight hug, sighing at his familiar scent and how his arms felt wrapped around him. He sagged against Ghost, closing his eyes as he did.
"Have you not been sleeping, love?"
"I've slept... just not as much as I would've liked."
Soap feels lips press to the top of his head and a soft murmur from Ghost, "How about you go to bed early, yea? Get some rest."
"Yours or mine?"
They took turns in who's room they slept in. They often slept in Soap's room due to the location being closer to both their offices and other areas. But, tonight, Ghost dragged Soap to his room. Due to Soap not sleeping there as often, he didn't have any spare clothes there. Ghost had a whole drawer with his things in Soap's room, maybe it was time for Soap to have such a space in Ghost's.
Ghost was in his private bathroom, cleaning up while Soap decided to just go to sleep as soon as possible. He stripped his clothes and grabbed a pair of Ghost's sweats and a hoodie before curling up in the man's bed. Instantly, Soap melted, Ghost's warm scent all around him. It got even better when Ghost climbed in next to him. The moment Soap settled against the man's chest, he was out. He would sleep a good twelve hours, Ghost not bothering to disturb him.
He only woke when Ghost shook him awake.
"Morning, Johnny."
"God, what time is it?"
"Around 1000 hours."
Soap groans, he slept way past his alarm, "Why didn't you wake me?"
"You looked like you needed the rest."
Soap sits up, stretching. He could see sunlight shining through the curtains but he didn't hear anything going on outside or in the halls due to Ghost's fan. Soap didn't remember him turning it on before he went to sleep. Soap was surprised when Ghost handed him a mug of coffee but his heart quickly melted.
"Big ol' softie."
"I can be. Tell anyone and I'll make you regret it," Ghost says with a joking tone.
He sips his coffee, humming when Ghost leans over and kisses the top of his head.
"Take all the time you need, you're off today."
"I am?"
"Lieutenant Riley decided to give you the weekend off."
Soap laughs, "Did he now? Well, looks like I'm going to have to thank him."
"Thank him by getting some rest."
Soap decided to not get out of bed that day. He spent the rest of the day and the day after sleeping. When he finally got back to work, Gaz immediately jumped onto him for 'abandoning' him.
"You could've at least convinced Ghost to give me time off, too!"
"Oh, and how would've I done that?"
"I don't know! Do whatever it is you normally do to get something out of him!"
"You can get your own time off by either asking Ghost yourself or going to Price."
Soap's nights would improve with Ghost being back on base. Things felt like they were getting back into the swing of things when another mission came up that Ghost would have to leave for. Soap knew once Ghost was gone he would be plagued by sleepless nights once more. So, the night before Ghost's departure, he clung to the man like a life line.
"Johnny..."
"Hmm?"
"I'm coming back. I always do."
Soap sighs, "I know. It's just- I can't sleep without you here."
Ghost squeezes him closer, "I'm sorry, love. I can't be two places at once."
Soap crawled on top of Ghost's chest, Ghost not saying a word as the man curls up on him, his head under his chin. Soap dreaded Ghost leaving, absentmindedly holding onto the man like he was just disappear if he let him go. When he woke, Ghost was gone. He left a note about having to leave earlier than planned, Soap frowning at it.
Soap worked throughout the day, knowing what would come when he tried to sleep. He prolonged his duties as much as possible, dragging his feet when he headed to his room having ran out of stuff to do. Soap got dressed in his sleeping clothes and laid in his bed. He noted how Ghost's scent was very faint on the sheets, making him frown.
Just like he predicted, he tossed and turned for a couple hours, unable to sleep. Finally, he just got out of bed, deciding to walk around with no particular goal in mind. He walked until he just stopped and leaning on the wall of the hall, missing Ghost. Soap blinks when an idea comes to him.
He walked quickly through the halls, stopping when he came to Ghost's room. He slipped inside, sighing when he got in. His eyes land on his target-- Ghost's bed. He walks over and flops onto the neatly made bed, sighing at the smell. Soap closes his eyes and lays there before he sits up. Ghost had left one of his hoodies draped on the back of his desk chair, having just worn it before he left.
Soap grabs it and holds it close. Smelled just like him.
Soap held the hoodie close as he laid on Ghost's bed. And just like that, he fell asleep.

Yandere Tomura Shigaraki x Fem!reader
Tumblr media
///TW/// Somnophilia, Non-con/ Dub-con, Kidnaped reader, Comfort at the end I guess,
Note: This is my first post sorry for bad writing :')
Tumblr media
Everything was fine at least you thought it was you lived a normal life nothing really special about you yet here you are kidnapped by a guy named Tomura Shigaraki, that has been watching you for over a month now.
You were heading home back from college until you heard a noise of a kid crying, you go see where it's coming from and then your vision is blocked by a cloth and your head hits the ground.
It's been 1 1/2 months with Tomura now, you don't do much but stay in his room chain by the bed frame. Sometimes he lets you out of your hand cuffs but most of the time he does it so he can have his way with you. For the first few weeks you tried to fight back but evidently you gave up and just followed his orders and behaved. You didn't fight back when he "made love with you" all you did was cry and say a few no's here and there but you gave up.
Now here you lay on the bed that was made perfectly well with new washed sheets that you had put on in the morning when Tomura was away. You're sleeping peacefully since you know he won't be back till late or heck even tomorrow. You're wearing a night gown he bought for you and asks you to wear to bed everyday. It's a silk white night gown that has a bow attaching the front part holding up your boobs. "Pretty for a princess" he calls it, other then that you're basically left naked with only your panties, then again they are way too small and revealing for your liking. Your breathing peacefully sleeping not knowing that a tired and exhausted Tomura had come home.
He opens the door to his bedroom to find it clean, you must have cleaned it as ordered. He takes off his headphones and puts it on his desk, he then tiredly headed to the bathroom to freshen up, he comes back and sits on his gaming chair and plays games for an hour, until he eventually gets bored and turns his attention to you.
The way your chest was begging to be touched and for that flimsy bow to be removed, your smooth legs and wavy hair. He could stare at you for hours. He gets up and heads to the bed and slowly climbs on top of you being held up by one arm. He touches your soft face and kisses your cheek. He starts going lower and kisses your neck leaving hickeys along the way. He starts to untie the bow on your nightgown trying to release the beauty underneath, and when he successfully does he kisses your nipples and breast so gently. He starts sucking on your boobs while touching you. You shuffle in your sleep starting to wake up. He slowly starts rubbing your thighs moving your night gown up exposing your white and pink panties. He rubs your sex in slow circles making you release a soft mewl. That sound made his dick go so hard it hurts. He starts rubbing your sex more and faster making you cum in your panties. You wake up surprised to find Tomura but as soon as you see him, you just lay back down tired. "Tomura not now..later I'm tired can't we just go to sleep, c'mon I'll cuddle with you." Lifting up your arms to gesture to him to cuddle. "No we can cuddle later right now I want you, I want to feel you and make you feel good" he says as he cuddles up to your neck. "Fine but I'm gonna continue sleeping." You shift so your back to being comfortable. "Whatever as long as I get to touch what's mine, not like you'll be able to sleep with how rough I'll be." He smirks.
_______________________________________________

I saw your request for angst prompts so I come here with a quote
"I hate you for what you've made me"
i hate you for what you've made me
Aiden used to be a quieter, less active kid. He used to sit inside the house all day, either drawing or reading his favorite series. He would sit still all day, either at his desk or bed, and no one would ever bother or notice him.
Maybe that's why he became like this. Reckless, never still, an uncontrollable ball of chaos and energy. All because no one ever noticed him. Not even his parents.
He first tried to get their attention by winning awards. He shifted from sport to sport, from basketball to soccer, to baseball, to volleyball. The pattern continued.
He was always MVP. He noticed that he was naturally talented at sports. He always got large, golden trophies with his name engraved at the base.
For a while, it worked. His parents loved him. They fanned over him, telling all their friends and the other parents how talented their little boy was.
But then it was like they got bored again. They resumed their business trips, their meetings, all that. They left him alone in their large house.
It was quiet for a long time.
And, for a long time, Aiden didn't realize how different things were.
He tried again. He tried showing his parents his drawings and poems. They were impressed again, but for less time than the awards.
Was he not good enough?
Things took a turn. Aiden started doing dangerous, reckless things. Maybe if I got hurt, they'd notice me again, he had thought. He started slow, doing adrenaline-inducing sports like cliff diving. He made sure he got scratched.
Still, guess what?
They never even noticed.
They never noticed when he got cut, when he got bruised, when he broke his leg or arm or hand. Maybe they did notice him, but he got hurt too many times to count, so maybe they just assumed this as a normal occurrence. It was just Aiden, anyway. Everyone should've already expected that to happen.
One day, he took things too far. He was kneeling on the bathroom floor, red dripping around his wrists and pooling on the floor. He wanted to cry, but he didn't think this counted as a crying moment.
It was Ben who rescued him. His cousin, who has only been living with him for about a month or two.
But he noticed him.
Hours later, when Aiden had finally calmed down, he noticed himself for the first time. Most of his life, he wanted others to notice him, but he never realized how he actually felt.
It was his parents fault he was like this.

Could u please make n11 with Jinx, vi, caitlyn, cat, dina and ellie?
(Hello! So sorry but I cut out Caitlyn bc six characters is a lot, so sorry but here ya go, Enjoy!)
Falling Asleep On Them
Jinx
Tumblr media
This happens more than you would think
For both of you, really
Jinx doesn’t usually sleep at night, just naps here and there
How does she do it?
I have no freaking clue
But she was just at her desk, coloring on Fishbones because she found the parts
It was pretty bare so why not spice it up and add some mother fucking color
That it the Jinx way
So, as she is coloring the face onto it, she heard your footsteps on the metal of the huge fans
She was about to call out to you, say Hi and whatever
But she was cut off when she just felt you grab her chair and turn her around
She was confused but you just climbed into her lap and just…fell asleep
She just looked down at you for a bit before giggling to herself
She shushed herself like “Shush, (Name)’s sleeping.”
She was all smiling before she turned back to her desk and continued with her drawing
She doesn’t care if your taller than her, no matter your body built or weight
Sleep on her, she doesn't care!
It makes her happy!
Vi
Tumblr media
Vi likes holding you, for some reason
She just likes knowing you are there
She also likes being held tbh
So if you let her sleep on you from time to time, she’ll let you take a nap on her
On her shoulder, in her lap or with your head in her lap
She doesn’t care
As long as she can continue with whatever she is doing, she’s fine
But if she were ever in a situation where she couldn’t continue in fear of waking you up
You will wake up to her frozen in that exact position
She was wrapping her hands after another fight
Really Vi, really?
Anyways
She was wrapping her hand before she looked up and saw you sit in front of her on your guys’ bed
She just smiled at you and said Hi
She was confused when you didn’t respond but she just kinda smirked as you climbed into her lap
She had finished wrapping her hands anyway and just let you
After you were all good and comfortable, you fell asleep
She did not move at all, let me tell you
She didn’t move you either
She just sat there until probably hours later when you woke up
She didn’t care if she was starving, had to use the bathroom, got bored
Her motto is “Don’t move (Name), ever.”
Cat
Tumblr media
You don’t fall asleep on Cat much
Only when you feel like it or just need to be held tbh
She doesn’t like the feeling of not being able to move
So if you do fall asleep on her, it won’t be for a very long time
Like an hour or an hour and a half maybe
And that’s a hard maybe
The most you have ever napped on her was about forty-five minutes
She wasn’t doing much though when you did this time
She was just messing with some markers, drawing on her jacket since the previous colors had faded
And she heard the door to her room open
She looked up and just saw you plop onto the couch next to her
“Hey, Baby.” She would just give a quick smile before you already made your move
Pushing her hand aside and maneuvering your way into her lap
Cat kinda just sat there and watched you do it
She kinda excepted it because she heard around your patrol squad the day you had
She would just let you have it this time
Once you were all good, you fell asleep and Cat just resumed what she was doing
She let you sleep on her for a little longer than normal
Be happy though!
It’s an accomplishment!
Dina
Tumblr media
Dina actually encourages you to sleep in her lap!
She likes holding you and being warm, especially on a particularly cold day in Jackson
She likes sleeping on your lap also from time to time
But actually prefers you sleeping in hers
She was about as sleep as you were when you walked through the door and joined her
She just laid there and let you climb into her lap and get comfy
“Why, hello there.”
Dina just bid with a smile, hugging you for a moment as you just laid your head on her chest
You both got pretty comfortable and warm
It’s no secret that you both fell asleep pretty quickly
It was a good nap
You both ended up in a pile of limbs after waking up but it’s a good way to wake up!
These are actually Dina’s favorite moments with you tbh
Ellie
Tumblr media
Ellie is smug about you being comfortable around her and sleeping on her
She doesn’t care if your bigger, smaller or taller than her
Throw that shit out the window and sleep on her for God sake!
She was finishing some sketches up in her journal when she heard the door opened
She was sitting on her bed also and just watched as you climbed over to her all quiet
She just smiled and set her journal down 
She helped you get comfortable also
“Tired now, are we?”
“Shut up.”
She would probably just laugh and lay back with you on top of her
She will hold her journal up behind your back to finish up but she also sometimes rubs your back
She will run her hand through your hair time and time again just because
Eventually, like Dina, would fall asleep too
She just wakes up and her book fell over on your back and her pencil rolled onto the floor
She probably went back to sleep
And when you wake up, you better pray she woke up also
Because she has a grip of steel and lets say this is not a situation you can get out of easily

VEGAS WHORE
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In which… you take a trip to Vegas and meet famous you tuber colby brock at a bar…
a/n: one thing i would like to say is that i write for fun. so there will be errors.
warnings: p n v, smut smut smut,cream pie, nick names (sweetheart,baby,good girl etc) language
————————
“Im SO excited to go to VEGAS.” scarlet squealed, stepping out of the cab. “So am i” i smiled before walking over to the car truck getting my suitcase. taking a breath before walking into the airport and going through security so we could get to our gate.
︵‿୨♱୧‿︵
I got up from my seat grabbing my luggage from the storage above. after what felt like forever we got off the plane and walked out of the VEGAS airport. “Oh my fucking god” i looked around seeing palm trees and the smell of salty sea air with cigarettes mixed together. “cmon our cabs here” scarlet said tapping my arm to follow her.
we got in the cab and headed to our hotel we would be staying at for the week…… We both got out of the cab walking in and checking in at the front desk. “OMG Y/N LOOK AT THIS VIEW” scarlet walking over go the window looking down at the streets of Las Vegas,Nevada. “holy shit” i walked up to her. “i wanna try this bar its close,so we could maybe walk there tonight. its called Downtown bar.” scarlet said while clapping her hands together “ooo sounds good lets start getting ready then?” i shrugged grabbing my suitcase throwing it on the bed to pick out an outfit. I turned on “The Weekend” and began to get ready.
We spent the next hour doing makeup,picking outfits,and listening to music. after 30 minutes i finally picked out a jean shirt with jewels on it and some miss me jeans with crosses on the butt. doing some light makeup and my hair simple.
“im ready if you are?” i walked into the bathroom to find scarlet putting on some lip gloss “yes now i am!”she smiled “ok lets go!” i squealed checking myself out one more time before heading out the door with her. It was about a 15 minute walk from our hotel. When we finally made it the bouncer checked our IDs and let us in. We both headed straight to the bar leaning against the counter. “what can i get you two?” the bar tender came up to us “uhhh.. ill have a martini” scarlet smacked her lips. “make that 2”. The bar tender smiled at us and came back within minutes. we walked away from the bar sitting at a booth drinking and talking.
“no.fucking.way.” my jaw dropping “what?” scarlet looked confused looking around trying to see what i was looking at. “colby mother fucking brock is here” i looked at her “Oh my god. so is sam.” she gasped. Me and colby made eye contact. I watched as he bumped sam’s shoulder signaling to follow him. both walking straight to our booth “Mind if we join you two?” colby said looking deep onto my eyes. “i. yeah sure!” i scooted over as colby took a seat next to me putting his arm on my chair and sam sitting next to scarlet.
“im Y/N” introducing myself. he smiled “thats a pretty name, im colby.” i giggled and nodded “i watch your guys youtube im a huge fan of you.” i looked back at scarlet seeing her and sam laughing while i look back at colby him already looking at me “sorry. this is quick but your insanely gorgeous i cant help but stare” colby grinned. i felt my cheeks burn up,giggling “thank you colby.” he slid hid phone over “put your number in my phone princess” i took ahold of his phone typing in my number “here” i held it out for him.
All 4 of us ended up talking for hours. i looked at the time 2:30 “holy shit you guys the club closes in 30 minutes. we’ve been here for 5 hours” i laughed. “thats crazy” colby said grinning. it felt like i’ve known colby for years like he’s been my friend since birth. we clicked so fast and we had out little moments through the night like him touching my thigh and him making comments and me flirting back.
“im so tired” i rested my head in my hands. “and hung over.” colby laughed “want me and sam to take you and scarlet to your hotel or even our place?” i looked up at scarlet, she flicked her brows at me “your guys house” i groaned “alright lets go” colby got up from the booth as we all followed behind him. We got to the car all piling  in it. Sam drove us home because he only had 2 drinks. it was a 20 minute drive of laughter and small talk. We pulled into a driveway the house porch lights blinding us. Sam turned off the car and we all got out and headed straight to the door. “do you guys have any tylenol?” i looked at them “yeah. we do ill get you some” colby patted my shoulder before walking into the kitchen spilling the 2 pills out of the bottle into his hand and getting me a drink of water and walking back to me handing it to me “thank you colbs” not processing the nickname i had just gave him. And taking the pills. Sam and scarlet already headed to sam’s room and left us alone. “cmon princess lets go to my room” colby reached out for me wrapping his hand around my waist guiding me through the hallway. he opened the door to his room. “woahhh” i looked around. “you wanna shower pretty girl?” colby walked up to me grabbing my waist once again and i wrapped my hands around his neck. “please” i looked him in his eyes. i was sobering up. “mk.” colby grabbed a clean towel and one of his shirts for me to wear. “thank you” colby leading me to the bathroom.
—————
i took a nice long shower using the shampoo,conditioner, and body wash and soaking up the water. i finally got out of the shower drying myself off with the towel before throwing colbys shirt on and putting my hair up. it smelt like him. i left my clothes in his bathroom and walked out.
“how you feelin baby?” colby looked at me from the bed “much better” i smiled and walked to get into the bed. laying on my side looking up at him while he scrolled through his phone before throwing it to the side.
“fuck your so fucking gorgeous” colby said staring at me. i propped myself up on my arms “your not to bad yourself pretty boy.” there was a short pause before colby leaned in kissing me hungrily. “fuck. ive been waiting to kiss you” i smiled before sliding myself out from under the sheets straddling him. “s’fuckin pretty” colby grinned. i kissed him again grabbing his face on either side forcing my tongue into his mouth and his entering mine. Our lips fit perfectly together like a puzzle piece.
I felt colby grow under me touching my thigh before colby grabbed my neck pulling back and throwing me onto my stomach. i giggled “ass up” colby said slapping my ass, i raised my ass into the air arching. “i’ve been waiting all night colby.” i teased pushing my hips back against his clothed dick. “so have i” colby flipped me back onto my back. “take this off now” tugging on my shirt. I smiled and grabbed the hems of the shirt and ripped it off revealing my tits. “fuck” he said growling before taking one to his mouth swirling his tongue around my nipple, squeezing the other one. “fuck colby” i whined. “need you now” i whispered. colby began kissing me down my stomach, “can i?” he said playing with the hems of my panties. i nodded. before i could even take another breath they were ripped off thrown somewhere on the floor. he moved down even more,grabbing my thighs to push them open and kissing up them. “mm” i moaned quietly, “so fuckin wet” admiring me.He started sucking my cunt and licking me up and down. inserting his tongue in and out of me.
“taste s’fuckin good mama” colby whispered his hot breath against me, rubbing his fingers against my wet folds then slipping one into me. i gasped “fuck” throwing my head back and reaching for his hair to grip on. sucking my cunt and fingering me he inserted another stretching me out. “oh fuck colby” i felt my orgasm rushing to me. the not in my stomach growing faster than ever at his speed. his tongue lapped around my clit,kissing,sucking on it. “mm fuck.” my body jerked. “so close” i gripped his hair. “cum on my fingers baby” still doing his thing “SHIT” i whined. i felt my orgasm rush out of me onto colby’s hands. my body shaking as colby slowed down his fingers gathering my juices on his fingers. after a second or more he pulled out sucking on his fingers licking my juices off them.
grinning at me colby flipped me back onto my stomach pulling my waist up making me arch, standing up taking his sweats and boxers off. His cock springing free hitting his stomach. He grabbed his cock rubbing it against me to use my wetness as lube before teasingly pushing it in and pulling out quickly “Colby” i whined. “tell me what your want sweetheart” he slapped my ass. i moaned slightly. “you.i need you” He pushed in immediately thrusting into me not letting me get use to his size “f-uck” i threw my head back as he reached for my hair balling it into a ponytail and began going faster. “feels so fucking good.” colby huffed out in between thrusts. i cried out in pleasure his tip kissing my g spot and other spots i never knew i had.
“your my Vegas whore”
colby growled bending down to whisper into my ear. “my little slut” colby growled again. i couldn’t respond, the pleasure was paralyzing my mouth all i could do is whine. “whos pussy is this” colby pulling my head back by my hair “y-your. all fucking yours” i struggled to talk. my mouth hanging out. he slowed down before slapping my ass twice on each cheek and began going faster then ever. i gripped the sheets and put my face into the sheets to muffle my moans “FUCKING SHIT” i bit my lip, colby grabbing my hands cuffing them behind my back hitting more new spots “shit pretty girl feels so good” he smacked my ass. “im so fucking close baby” i whined once more. “so am i baby cum with me yeah?” colby bit his lip “mhm” i moaned. colby’s thrust became faster but sloppier “fuckk” he groaned i felt my orgasm knot up in my stomach “fuck fuck im cumming” with that i let myself go cumming all over colby’s cock “mm good girl” he kept thrusting then suddenly stopped and released thick white ropes of his seed into me filling me up. after a few seconds he pulled out of me with a wet pop.
he grabbed my ass squeezing it. “push baby” i pushed and his seed oozed out of me down my pussy. “mm so pretty” he admired for a minute or two before getting up and getting a towel whipping me up gently.
Tumblr media

reading your boxers or briefs post got me thinkin :o
fertility doctors actually recommend that men trying to have kids wear boxers, or even just go full blown commando, bc briefs lower sperm count (the area becomes too warm, and impedes sperm production)
how do you think the brothers and/or dateables would react to this info? :o
Okay this is kinda weird but also really fascinating!
I'll give this one a try, but I'll do the Brothers in this post and make another for the unDateables~
•▪︎▪︎◇°●♡●°◇▪︎▪︎•
Lucifer:
"Luce?"
"Yes, Love?"
The man didn't even look up from his paperwork as the human strolled into his office.
No response came after a minute so the demon sighed, sat down his pen, and looked up at them.
"Come here, my Heart." He pushed his chair from his desk.
MC scurried over and sat on his lap.
Luce gave a small chuckle at their movement before kissing their cheek.
"So what is it that you need, Love?"
The human laid their head against his shoulder and took his hand, playing with his fingers nervously.
"I learned something new today."
"And what would that be?"
A blush filled their face, but no response came from the human's mouth.
Luce kissed the top of their head and stroked their hair patiently.
"T-That...men who wear briefs have a lower sperm count and doctors recommend they wear boxers..."
Luce pursed his lips. He knew what his partner was very unsubtly hinting at and was...not a fan of the topic.
This man has been raising children since he himself was a child and he was...so very tired.
"You want a child, don't you, Love?"
MC hid their face in the crook of his neck, not answering.
The demon sighed. There was a lot of good things about parenting that MC has never gotten to experience.
Maybe...one more child wouldn't be so bad for this man.
"Would you feel better if I started wearing boxers tomorrow and we...started trying for our child?"
"Yes!" The human accidentally yelled in his ear and immediately regretted it.
MC hid their face in their boyfriend's chest.
"Sorry...sorry."
Luce sighed and kiss their head, his ear ringing all the while.
"It's fine, Love; as long as you're happy."
Mammon:
The greed demon was laying in bed on his phone, scrolling through various apps in his boredom.
MC has been in the bathroom for a while now and the man didn't wanna fall asleep until his Human was wrapped up in his arms.
The human came out a minute later, all antsy.
The man was too focused on his phone to realize such though.
MC slid into bed next to him and he pulled them into his arms before setting his phone on the stand next to him.
"Hey Babe?" MC mumbled.
Mammon brought his lips to their temple for a kiss before responding.
"Yeah, Babe?"
Silence. The demon raised an eyebrow.
"Ya good?"
The human curled in closer to their boyfriend.
"I...I learned something today."
"Yeah?" The man rested his chin on the top of their head and yawned. "Waddya learn, Babe?"
"That..." MC took his hand and laid it on their stomach. "That boyfriends who wear boxers have an easier time getting their partners pregnant."
It took a good minute of letting his Human's word sink in before he realized what they were getting at.
The demon bounced back to meet his partner in the eyes.
"Did I...?"
MC nodded.
"Are you...?"
MC nodded again, this time with a smile and tears in their eyes
"Holy shit..." He stared, eyes wide before cheering. "Hell ya, baby! My Babe's having my baby!"
Mammon held them tighter and kept kissing them all over their face, causing the human to laugh.
Life was about to be extra good for these two.
Leviathan:
The demon could tell MC had been acting...off most of the day, but really didn't know how to approach them about it
And ultimately just decided to cling to them and hope he can make their day a bit better.
Even once night fell, the human still seemed distracted, nervous even, and the otaku didn't know what to do for their partner.
"Hey... Henry?"
The two were curled up together in his bathtub bed, ready to end the day.
Except their boyfriend couldn't sleep without asking them about it.
"Y-Yeah?"
"Did I...do something?" He asked, worried. "You've just been acting all weird today so I was wondering..."
MC bit their lip.
"Henry?"
The human shook their head.
"Its not you..." They assured him. "I just...I have to come to terms with something I learned today."
Levi tightened his embrace around the human.
"Yeah? What did you learn?"
MC snuggled closer to him, mumbling something into his chest.
"Henry?"
MC sighed and looked up at him, repeating themself.
"I learned that...boyfriends who wear boxers...have an easier time getting their partners pregnant."
Wait...
Levi wears boxers.
...Oh no.
"A-Are you...? Did I...?"
MC started crying into his chest.
"I'm sorry..."
The demon didn't know what they were going to do; they weren't ready for a kid.
Hell, they haven't even dated for a full six months at this point!
All he could do was be there for his Henry and do what they needed him to do
...and wear briefs for now on 'cause this man was now paranoid.
Satan:
The demon was in the library, reading a new book when he saw movement from the corner of his eye.
He looked up and saw his Kitten standing there, swinging in place as they waited to be noticed by their boyfriend.
The blonde smirked.
"Were you being patient for me, Kitten?"
The human nodded happily as the man set his book down and reached out to slide them onto his lap.
Thats when he noticed they were carrying some papers.
The blonde raise an eyebrow.
"Do you have something for me, little one?
The papers start to crumple in their hands as their grip tightened.
Satan kissed their cheek and rocked them a bit.
"It's okay; you can tell me."
MC didn't respond; they just pointed to a highlighted section on the paper.
The man gently took the paper and could feel his Kitten lightly squirm on his lap as he read what was apparently an article on male fertility.
The highlighted section was on underwear choice and explaining how briefs kept things too hot down below and lowered a man's sperm count.
The blonde sighed, well aware of the human's message.
Of course his Kitten wanted to be a parent. They'd be an amazing one too; he knew it. They were sweet and caring and had so much love to give
However...
"I'm sorry, Kitten."
The man watched as his partner deflate in his arms.
He sat the papers on his book before tightening his embrace around them.
"You would be an excellent parent; I know you would." He gave a kiss to their cheek. "However I...am not quite ready for this sort of life change."
MC stared down at their hands.
The blonde brought his hand to their chin and gently brought them to face him.
"Right now...I just want to focus on us. On you." He stroked their cheek. "I just want to give you every ounce of love my heart can create. Someday, we can... revisit this topic, but for now, I just want to focus on you."
His partner still looked so disappointed.
Satan sighed and gave a gentle rub to their stomach.
"You'll make a great parent; but that will be for another time." He repeated before kissing their neck.
The blonde hated to disappoint his Kitten, but he felt it was better to be honest with them.
The man continued to faithfully use the birth control rune on the human during their intimate time, but switched to boxers for them as a sign that...even if he's not ready for a child now, he meant it when he said it was something for them later
And MC took comfort in that.
Asmodeus:
The two had only been dating for last the month and half when MC started acting strange.
For a while, the human didn't seem to want to talk about it so the lust demon did his very best to try to cheer them up.
When that didn't work, the man wrapped his arms around them and whined in their ear.
"Dolly... can't you just tell me what's wrong?"
MC was really stressed out and had their head in their hands.
"Why couldn't you have just worn briefs more?"
Asmo raised an eyebrow.
Before he could say anything, the human shook their head.
"Nevermind that...was just part of something I read recently..."
"Do you mean that thing going around online about underwear and a man's sperm count?"
MC nodded.
Asmo was about to ask why they're so concerned about his sperm count when it hit him.
"I...Dolly..."
The human started crying.
"It was one time."
The two haven't been dating long, but slept together for the first time recently.
It was...very impromptu so neither thought to use protection
And now his Dolly is pregnant.
The demon rubbed their back and made comforting 'shhh' sounds in their ears.
"Doll...it'll be okay."
"How? How could this ever be okay? We can't do this..."
"We can do anything." He lowered his arms around their waist and peppered sweet kisses over their face. "No matter how soon this is, we can handle this together."
He gave a loving rub to their still-flat stomach before whispering into their ear.
"We can do whatever you want about this, okay? I'll stand by you no matter what."
The couple needs time to decide how to proceed with this, but regardless of what they choose to do about this baby, Asmo, was prepared to be extra careful about protection in the future and was even willing to wear briefs more instead of his usual commando way to make his Dolly more comfortable.
Beelzebub:
"Beely?"
The gluttony demon swallowed the food in his mouth reaching out and taking their partner's hand.
"Are you ready to talk about it, Muffin?"
The human gave a shy nod.
They've been a bit out of it all day and though worried, their boyfriend was waiting patiently for them to be ready to talk to him about it.
"I...I've kinda been paranoid about something lately."
The big guy raised an eyebrow.
MC nervously swung their hands a bit, which was still intertwined with Beel's.
"I read something online recently about...men who wear boxers have an easier time getting their partners pregnant."
"I wear boxers."
The human let out a small and smiled softly at him.
"I know, big guy." Their smile fell and the light in their eyes dimmed.
Beely squeezed their hand.
"Why are you thinking about my underwear?" He asked, confused but still worried.
MC closed their eyes.
"Beel...I missed my period."
His eyes went wide.
"Are you--"
"I don't know." The human cut him off. "I...I've been too afraid to get tested."
The man pulled them into a hug.
They were...afraid? He knew that they've only been dating for eight months and haven't even talked about kids yet but...
This just seemed like such a happy thing to him; his Muffin could be pregnant. They could be parents!
Yet MC is scared...
"What scares you about this?" Beel asked as he rubbed their back.
The human shook their head.
"I feel like I'm only now just starting my life. To lose it all already because of a baby...Beely, I'm not ready for it."
It hurt the demon to hear that his partner wasn't happy for this potential child like he was
Still...
"Let's just take it one step at a time." He told them. "Let's get you tested and we'll go from there...okay, Muffin."
The human nodded and hugged him tight.
Their boyfriend offered to wear briefs for now on if that would help make them feel better, but MC said it was okay and he didn't have to.
They imagined that with his...size that him wearing such constricting underwear would be painful for him, but appreciated that he was open to switching just to comfort them.
Belphegor:
MC tried bring up the boxers vs briefs topic earlier that day, presenting it as nothing more than a 'fun fact'.
Their boyfriend found it mildly interesting, but his sleepy mind was too slow to realize that the human was trying to lead somewhere with that fact.
Later that night, Belphie work up to an empty bed and say that the light in the bathroom was on.
Since Beel was still fast asleep in own bed, the youngest brother knew it was MC in there
And for some reason, his intuition was prickling.
The tired man got out of bed and approached the door.
Since it was left ajar, the demon had no issues peeking in
When he saw his partner holding a pregnancy test.
He pushed open the door, accidentally scaring the human in the process.
Were they--were they???
The man took the test from their hands and read it.
Negative. Oh thank the devil...
He tossed the test in the trash and slumped against his partner.
"Belphie?"
The man let out a heavy sigh before leading them both to sit on the edge of the tub and squeezing the human's hand.
"Look, I'm sorry just...next time you think you might be pregnant, just tell me. I won't be mad just--just don't hide it from me, okay?"
The demon knew with his luck that there probably will be a next time and that next test very well could say positive
Which honestly scares the man more than he wants to admit.
Starts doubling up on protection during their intimate time and wears briefs almost religiously.

ONE NIGHT
I saw them, making out and then leaving the car for the fancy hotel. well, that’s none of my business but I can't help, but let my attention fall on my sister and her boyfriend. Jungkook was his name, youngest of all the members of the deadliest mafia group.
2:07 am
“open the door”, said Jungkook on the call.
In a sleepy voice, “what”?
“Open the door Tahee”, he repeated.
“oh”, realizing it was Jungkook. “wait a second”, hastily waking up from my slumber I went to the hall to open the door. When I saw Jinhee in his arms sleeping and looking tired and messy, his smell reached to my nostrils as he passed through me. That “Dominant Man” perfume from the luxury brand “Dior” was his signature. Only he wore that perfume as there were very few samples and definitely, he had one how could any top-class brand could miss out on Jeon Jungkook. One of the top models and musicians in the world. Everyone knew BTS, “The global K-pop boyband” but nobody knew their other identity as the mafias of the underground world. Their expertise was in dealing with weapons and major businesses like ‘The Kim Corporation’ kept the economy under their control. ‘ARMY’ cheered for them and they have fans all around the world. Thousands and thousands of fan forums are open all over the internet, protecting BTS from any hate and keeping their other businesses under the cover.
How do I end up under them? Well, I worked for ‘Kim Corporation’ as a financial analyst but my younger sibling, ‘Jinhee’, started dating Jungkook. They had to make sure nobody knew about their relationship. I was told to work from home and as their affection grew they decided to move in together. Particularly, Jinhee to their mansion but as the favourite child my parents could not leave their beloved and spoiled daughter alone, so, I had to also move out with her, to take care of Jinhee.
So far everything’s fine. It is not good but not bad either. I have my own private room with a very luxurious bathroom. The room is thrice as big as my previous one with a huge canopy over the bed, Victorian-style window panes, and a walk-in closet that is only half full of my clothes. By the window, I have my desk which I’m sure is made of very expensive wood. In the bathroom, there is a huge bathtub with a glass window viewing the beautiful backyard and the mountains. The outside interior is even more glorious but I avoid going out as much as possible to avoid Jinhee except for eating and taking a stroll at night. It’s been almost a month since I became a resident here. Everyone does not engage in conversations with me other than a ‘hi’ and ‘hello’ except Jungkook and Taehyung, Who sometimes need my help regarding Jinhee and Tae, who help me occasionally with work.
9:40 AM
“Tahee, I need you downstairs to my office”, shouted Taehyung. “I don’t think she is awake, Jungkook forced her to wake up at 2 am to open the fucking door”, said Jimin, clearly annoyed with their love bird shit. “Seriously Jungkook, you need to fucking calm your ass down. Stop being harsh on Tahee, she has nothing to do with the accident.”, said Hoseok. Yoongi nodded in agreement. Jungkook clearly annoyed with all the nagging, “I called you all like seven times but none of you fuckers opened the door but Tahee did and regarding the accident, I’m not a child to whine about it just cause my girlfriend got hurt”.
“I need the documents for the dealings from her”, said Tae impatiently. “Why in the world would you keep that with Tahee?”, Namjoon said losing his temper over the chaos. “I needed her to make some adjustments regarding data. Her analyzing skills are on another level”, Tae remarked going upstairs to wake her up.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
“Tahee, you awake? “Shouted Tae from your bedroom door. You started waking up hearing someone calling your name. “who’s there? “, as you rushed to open the door.

a fine line
This WIP has been sitting in my drafts forever waiting for...something. And I don't have that something, so it's just here. Hotch's injuries after Perotta should have been a little more extensive, and I can't be held responsible for putting Morgan in a situation to help him out. (2.2k messy, pointless, choppy and unedited words)
**
“Aaron?” Haley asked, swiping her hand over the once warm place he'd occupied in their bed. It was rumpled enough that she knew he had come to bed. Later than her, she'd been there hours before he came home, and now he was gone again. “Aaron?”
Silence. At first, but after a moment she could hear him in the bathroom. The shower was running, hot steam filtering slowly beneath the door. She thought about getting up, checking on him, but it was 4am. He was probably being called in and he hated to be bothered while he got ready for work. There was a certain routine he insisted on in order to prepare himself for the work he would have to do, the things he would have to stomach, the pieces of his soul he would have to guard. He had to set his mind right, block out everything that made him human.
They had argued plenty over it. She only wanted to help, to make him coffee or breakfast, help him in some way. Be part of it instead of always being on the outside. But she couldn't, and at a certain point she stopped trying. So, with one fearful glance at the closed bathroom door, she lay back down and pushed her face beneath the covers to go back to sleep. His side of the bed smelled like him and she would have to be content with that for now.
Jack woke while he attempted to drink a cup of coffee. Just a diaper change and a bottle, both of them managed to stay entirely silent so Haley could stay sleeping. It was both the most and the least he could do in his condition. Jack was a baby, he didn't need conversation, he needed action.
He managed to slip out of the house before she woke again, his starched and stiff collar high on his neck, tie pulled tight. The bruises, Perotta's marks, had deepened in the hours since the junkyard. His neck was flooded nearly black with bruises, one deep red pressure cut slicing through the middle garish and mad. Walking from his car to the front door, his mouth filled with saliva and the thought of swallowing it nearly brought tears to his eyes. He'd been spitting into a cup for the last few hours, the swelling in his throat finally reaching the point that swallowing was nearly out of the question. But he couldn't spit into a coffee cup in front of Quantico so he forced himself to swallow and nearly cried for the pain of it. His grip on the coffee cup tightened while he rode the elevator, while the saliva once again built up with nowhere to go but down or out. If he wasn't careful, he'd be sick, and then he'd really be in for it.
Gritting his teeth, he made his way from the elevator to his office without more than a good morning wave at the few people who were in earlier than he was. They probably had actual work to do, he was just hiding his injury from his wife. Home only long enough to sleep for a couple of hours. She wasn't going to understand this one, not with a new baby at home. It was a miracle he'd managed to come home and leave without Jack crying and waking Haley, and he knew he couldn't do it again.
He would have to find a way to make it seem better than it was.
The hum of the fan in his office was calming. His heart beat in time with its quiet rhythm and he popped the top off of the coffee cup to spit inside, praying no one would come and witness it. He was lucky, just barely got the lid back on before Gideon sped by with a quick glance and a wave. Anyone else and they might have stopped to chat, but even if Gideon had figured him out, seen what he was doing, he doubted very much that he would stop and inquire. Close call. He set the coffee cup on his desk and settled into his seat. There had to be something he could do to entertain his mind, focus him on something other than the strangling pain in his throat.
Garcia showed up with donuts, the giant pink box filling her arms to the brim. Maple bars, pink sprinkles, chocolate, all the classics. His stomach growled just thinking about that glazed blueberry cake donut right there in front. She was holding the box open and indicating it, like she'd picked it out just for him. “Sir?” she asked, curious at the look of desire on his features but his lack of motion. “The blueberry one is most definitely for you. The last one they had.”
He'd already attempted talking, just to himself in the car, and there was no way he could do it without coming under instant scrutiny. His voice was strangely crushed sounding, gruff and breathy, air through a bent straw. So he just smiled and reached out for the donut, placing it on the napkin she'd put on the desk for him and trying to force the words “Thank you” out as quickly and evenly as he could. She caught it, just briefly, but didn't know him well enough to say anything. He was intimidating enough with his frown set, that deep crease between his eyebrows that told her not now, maybe not ever...so she smiled at him and closed the box.
“You are ever so welcome, sir,” she said a little quieter, a little more serious before turning and leaving. Maybe she would talk to Derek, he seemed to be the only one who ever talked to Hotch with any sort of confidence. Sometimes it was uncomfortable to watch, the way he stood up to Hotch's orders, questioned them either in public or in private, but there was something there. Some mutual respect or admiration, so when he did that...Hotch listened. He may not always side with Derek when all was said and done, but he would always give Derek the floor and to Garcia that spoke volumes. So, with her box of donuts, she made the rounds until she ended at his desk.
“Hey, you,” she said, leaning against his desk. “You want some sugar?”
“Not during office hours, hun,” he replied, swirling around in his chair and waggling his eyebrows at her. “Ohhh you got maple bars!”
“Nuh-uh, that last one is for boss man's afternoon snack. You know how he gets when he has meetings through the lunch hour...I got you the chocolate with sprinkles.”
Derek scrunched his nose and frowned, but in the end he only shrugged it off and grabbed the chocolate frosted donut gladly. Any donut was better than no donut. In truth, he doubted very much that Hotch would feel like eating that or any donut after the junkyard but Garcia didn't know that, she didn't watch it happen. He was waiting for the right time to approach him about it, and watching Gideon breeze past Hotch's office told him that time hadn't come yet. If Gideon didn't think it appropriate, he would wait too.
Until Garcia opened her mouth. She leaned forward and in a hushed whisper that made the hair stand up on the back of his neck, she spoke. “I don't think he's okay,” she started, flicking one finger against a crumb of frosting stuck in the corner of Derek's lips. “Can you check on him? Please?”
“Babygirl,” he sighed, shoving the last bite of the donut he'd made very short work of into his mouth. “If he's in bad shape after last night, he'll wanna be left alone for a while. He's here in the office, that's something.”
“Not enough,” she huffed indignantly, pushing the giant box at Derek's chest. One final donut remained. “Take this up to him later. That's your excuse.” He rolled his eyes but there was no telling that woman no, so he agreed. He'd go up in a bit, give Hotch time to settle into his day. Curiously, he clicked around until he was in Hotch's schedule, he had full access to it as his lead, as his former partner, and usually all he did was add things to it but slowly he poked around finding things he could pull off instead. A consult here, a deposition request there, until his schedule looked light enough that they might have time for a chat in a bit. Sure, Derek had his own work to do, but Elle and Spencer didn't look too busy so he was able to pass things on down the line.
“Hey, Hotch, you got a minute?” Derek asked, just after the lunch hour, after an entire day of tooling around without seeing Hotch leave his office one time. Not even for a quick bathroom break. Hotch nodded and slipped his hand around the coffee cup on his desk, sliding it out of the way. As if Derek wouldn't immediately notice the shift, the slight movement, and frown.
“You go to the doctor like Gideon told you to?”
Hotch glowered, his eyebrows dangerously close together. “No,” he rasped, his hand immediately flying to his throat without any thought. The sharp burst of pain at the first word he'd spoken since thanking Garcia was shocking and if he'd been standing, he might have found himself more than a little weak in the knees. Derek didn't need any other evidence before shutting the door behind him and entering Hotch's office completely.
“Let me see.”
He set the maple bar down beside the untouched blueberry donut and came around Hotch's desk, leaning his hips there casually. He reached out slowly, and backed up just a little when he caught the slightest hint of a flinch, like he was afraid. It was gone as fast as it came, and if Derek was anyone else he might blurt something out, mention it, but Derek had experience. He'd been there through others, he'd held his hand in the ambulance after Bale, he understood deeply. So he pressed forward until his lithe fingers tugged gently at the knot in the tie, loosening it just enough that he could unbutton the stiff collar on his shirt. Immediately he found himself faced with a sight he wasn't prepared for, the brutality of it immense. He ached to go back in time, the pressure of the gun in his hands, a direct line of sight to Perotta's forehead. One bullet, right between the eyes, and this damage might not be so bad.
But this was his failure. He listened to Gideon, and he let this happen. “Hotch,” he whispered, his fingers lightly dancing over the other man's jaw, trying to get a view of each angle. “I'm so sorry. I shoulda shot that bastard. I had him in my sights.”
“You did...” Hotch rasped and Derek shook his head, pressing his thumbs lightly around Hotch's adams apple just to see. He had some limited EMT training from his days with Chicago PD, and he was rusty but it was better than the nothing Hotch was willing to consent to outside of this office. The swelling was obvious, he could feel it with barely any pressure. “Gideon's orders.”
Derek scoffed. It was a little louder than he intended and he saw the corner of Hotch's lips tick upward in a small attempt at a smile. Derek loved Gideon in his own way, but he didn't like him much tehse days and he certainly didn't trust his judgment. Maybe he hadn't since Boston. “Yeah, well...”
“It's okay Derek.”
“No, it's not,” Derek said quieter, lifting Hotch's jaw to feel beneath the sharp angles. Hotch didn't fight him, didn't move a muscle. Breathing hurt enough that he was on the verge of tears with every swallow, every breath in, so arguing with Derek felt more than a little out of the question.
“Alright. Alright, I'll stop beating myself up if you stop talking...deal?”
Hotch kept up his end of the bargain, but Derek did not. He couldn't let it go. Slowly, carefully, he opened Hotch's collar the rest of the way and told him to wait a moment. Out and back in a flash, straight to the freezer for an ice pack and a cup of ice chips, then the door was closed once again. The ice pack was rested gently against his neck, against the worst of the bruises, and he let Derek hold it there for just a minute before Hotch took it in his own hand and breathed frigid relief against the cooling of his fevered skin.
“Haley must not know yet, huh? Otherwise I doubt you'd be here right now...”
Hotch couldn't help smirking and shrugging, met with only a nod of understanding.
Derek nudged the cup of crushed ice and the spoon in Hotch's direction with a smirk. “Betcha skipped breakfast...and lunch.”
Ice chips. He was starving and Derek had ice chips for him. “You want me to run out for some ice cream or something? I could use a reason to get outta here.”
Hotch smiled and nodded, still not eager to talk. Derek doesn't need him to say a word, but before he left Hotch pushed both donuts in Derek's direction. Getting to have the coveted maple bar didn't feel quite as good now, not while he was sitting here in Hotch's office being given the strangest silent treatment of his life. The first time he'd ever demanded it. But he did enjoy those donuts while he sat there in silence thinking about putting a bullet in Perotta's skull.
Right between the eyes. Pow.

I am glad I had the day off. It was a good one even if I was a bit to overheated.
Some of the issue was it was just so hot in here last night. Firstly I had a cut on my foot and I put a sock on to try to protect it and it did not help. Because then I was just hotter and woke up in the middle of the night so uncomfortable. Like dizzy uncomfortable. I put a fan on and it helped a little but man. I was not having fun. Thankfully I did get to sleep and it would cool off eventually.
James says they also didn't sleep well. But they would say goodbye and went to work and I slept a little longer.
When I woke up I would lay in bed for a little while. But would get up and make the bed. And go and wash up and I felt like myself again. I am happy about that. Apparently just trimming my bangs helped a lot. I also just felt real cute in my jumpsuit.
I got right into cleaning. I need to borrow the vacuum we gave to Mr Will to get in all of our corners and stuff. But for now I just vacuumed and did all the surfaces and sprayed down the bathroom. I put the winter rugs in the bedroom away. I Swiffered and used the last two pads so I made a note to get more. It felt nice in here.
I would also spend a lot of time cleaning in the studio. I cleaned and organized my desk a bit. I did not do anything about the drawers but it's fine. I got a box from the recycling and just put a lot of junk in it and put it on the shelf. Did I actually deal with anything? No. But it made me feel better.
Me and James are starting to think about getting a house and I'm like. Very much excited about thinking about moving to a new space, even if it wouldn't be for a while. So I'm also going to hopefully start getting rid of but it's so hard!! So instead I organized my box of glues and tapes. And reorganized the yarn shelves so now I was able to move all my glues and tapes there into three boxes (one all tape, one all glue, one for just got glue guns because I have 5 of them). And I'm very happy with it all.
I would end up texting with a realtor that got my number from one of the sites I was looking at. And he was really nice and answered some questions I had, specifically about percents and savings and FHA loans. So me and James's plan seems feasible. Still scary?? But exciting scary. And it's nice to have a plan.
I would work on fixing some bears and finishing some others. I'm going to bring them to the market to finish sewing tomorrow, but the have faces and are stuffed. Success.
I would chill on the couch and eat jello. Eventually I got bored though and decided I would just go get the Swiffer pads and the trash bags we needed now and maybe tacobell.
But just as I was putting on my shoes Mr Will knocked on the door to add some new caulk to the tub. So I sat with him while he did that and told.me about the repairs he's doing on the other apartments because people aren't taking care of things. He said I do a good job and keep it nice he even commented on how clean it looked today. Thank you Will, I just cleaned two hours ago.
He also said that he'll look at the paddle board in the basement and if it's from the couple that moved a few years ago I can have it! Neat!!!
Once he was done we left together. He said my hair is getting long, and that he has none. Silly man.
I headed to gleb bernie. Which is technically the 4th closest target but it would put me closer to the museum where I could pick up James.
Speaking of the musuem I was texting with Jessica and because the school group canceled on Monday that means I already had my last educator day at the museum for the foreseeable future!! That's so sad!! I'm still going to be there all the time, but still makes me a little sad.
I would have a nice time walking around target. And I did good just getting what I came for. And a cup with strawberries. And a tank top (that was the missing part of a two piece set I had gotten the skirt for in February!!). And I had a very good coupon.
I got Starbucks and then went and got tacobell. So I could have them together. And my Starbucks was correct so it makes up for last week's being so very wrong. And my tacobell was good but was missing a sauce I asked for. Ah well.
I went and ate that in the museum parking lot while I waited for James. But once I was done eating I got to hot sitting in the sun. So I went to sit on the benches outside the musuem with Angie. Who has finally picked a retirement date before she moves to Arizona to be with her son. I'm so happy for her. She deserves the rest. I hope the last few months are good for her, because man has it not been lately. I always love working with her. But the job lately has been hard and I get her wanting to go.
James would get done and kick the door open dramatically. Which was very funny. They decided to leave the bike in the musuem and we drove home together.
I started to not feel so hot. Overtired and to warm. I was very happy to be back here.
James would put the AC in the bedroom. We finally caved. But they put the wrong one in there and so then I had to ask them to change it and I felt bad but we have the correct one now and it's much nicer.
I would hang out on the couch for a long time. And while James was recording their podcast I took a bath and washed my hair. My hair always gets to dry when I do that but it's fine. I'll add more conditioner and oil before I go to bed.
I finally went to lay on the AC and it has been nice. Just laying with James. Sometimes Sweetp is here. I am tired but not overly so. I have a long day tomorrow but I think it will be good. It might even rain a little in the middle which we need so bad. Everything is dusty and covered in pollen. I just want it to be a nice day.
I hope you are all having a good day. I love you all. Goodnight!!

First Thursday in October
It’s been a good day. This morning I ran up to Walgreen’s and sat down for my flu shot and a COVID booster.  This was the view from my seat as I waited...
Tumblr media
Is that just seasonal decor or can I bring the family up and use it for our Christmas card photo backdrop?  The grandgirl would love that.   Anywho, got a shot in each arm and received instructions to wait fifteen minutes before leaving.  No problem. I had a coupon I was itching to use so I grabbed a basket and picked up a couple things.
Tumblr media
If you see a 59 year old woman with purple and black Halloween nails, mind your own business.  I wait all year for this month I intend to enjoy it head to toe.
I popped by the post office and sent a box of earrings off to my sister.  I’m late with it but she’ll still have twenty days to enjoy the Halloween bits and another month after that to use the autumn leaves and pumpkins. Here’s what I’ve been cutting, cooking, and putting together...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I keep the wonky ones and give away the ones that aren’t as bad.  It’s been months since I’ve worked with clay and I’m rusty.  It was still fun.  Any day spent creating with these two for company is a good day.
Tumblr media
They think everything I do is wonderful. I could hold up a pair of sweaty socks tied together with a bow and they’d swear they love it.  I make something, show it to them and say, “What do you think?” and I always get a rousing response.  Of course, it’s the same response I get when I say, “Want a treat?” or “Ready for bed?”  Everyone should have a fan club.  You can see in that picture that I had the windows open today - we’re enjoying such nice weather, cool in the mornings, pleasant in the afternoons. We had a glorious string of chilly, rainy days and I confess I was a little disappointed by today’s sunny and warm forecast.  Chillier, please. I’m seeing more colorful leaves in the trees, on the driveway and in the yard.  They’re truly works of art. Look at this beauty!
Tumblr media
Have I mentioned how much I’m loving my craft room?  It is perfect.  It’s the first thing I see when I come downstairs each morning and, I have to admit, it inspires me.

There’s still a bit to do, like a quote for the front of the desk, and a bit of foo-foo here and there, but I like it.    I tried to make a video to share with you but I’m very, very bad at videos. This was my attempt.  It will either make you seasick or annoy you with odd, unexplained noises.

For some reason I felt the need to zoom in on that little library mouse print.  I was probably going to gush over the frame, another barn sale find from Tennessee. It used to be in the grandgirl’s room in Mt. Juliet, framing a map of NeverLand.  She prefers it over (as she calls it) “the cozy chair.”  Over on the top of the cabinet that holds all of my art supplies I repurposed a bird cage that once held plants on the porch. I just stuffed a fake plant in there.  It’s not perfect, but I’ll figure it out. It works for now.  But enough about that room.  Just because it makes me happy doesn’t mean anyone else is interested.  We still have plenty to do in this house.
In the video you may have noticed that the stair bannisters are still that orangey wood. Ugh.  They clash with the new floors.  The plan is to eventually rip up the awful carpet on those stairs and just have them stained or painted.  We’ll do the railings then too. Until then I’ll have to ignore it.  The upstairs bathroom floors also have to go.  They are currently a really cheap and ugly sheet vinyl.  I’ve got nothing against vinyl flooring, but this stuff is not well done and it’s not in fabulous shape.  I do like that it’s neutral, and that’s about the only nice thing I can think of to say about it.  In the Halloween bathroom it’s in slightly better condition than in the master bath.  I haven’t done a whole lot in the master bath yet.  I’ve got our ruffled shower curtain from TN in there, a couple of sage throw rugs in front of the double vanity (more orange wood), and one “art” piece hung on a wall beside a window. I’m too lazy to go upstairs and get a picture of it, it’s just a cute painted tin floral thing.  It works in the space.  BUT, this week I added a little something new.  The toilet in that bathroom sits in a little alcove and it’s quite plain.  I’ve eyeballed it and wondered if I should put a couple of floating shelves there and add a plant , some TP, and a candle or a couple of knickknacks. Nothing felt right. So I did what I always do and decided I’d come up with a little something, print it, frame it, and hang it.   It’s a start, right?  I’m pleased with it, and feel it adds a bit of levity to the room.

You finished the rhyme in your mind, didn’t you?  
Felt appropriate for the space.
It’s not finished.  I placed it a little high because I’d like to add a tray to the tank and put a plant, candle, whatever there.  You get the idea.

Maybe a shelf would look better. I think I’m Team Shelf.

As I say so often, I’ll figure it out. So that’s what I’ve been up to - painting stuff, making stuff, printing stuff, decorating stuff, still trying to Nancify it up around here.  After a summer that rocked me a bit, I feel like I’m finally getting my groove back.  No surprise that I’m reborn in the fall.

Net week Matt arrives for a quick visit before attending a conference in D.C.  Rumor has it there may be a family trip to the Renaissance Fair that weekend.  After that the mister and I will be escaping to Chincoteague where the wild ponies play. It’s only about an hour from us, so an easy drive.  Assateague (Maryland) and Chincoteague (Virginia) sort of all run together and Assateague is supposedly one of the best spots in the world to get night sky and Milky Way photos. Here’s an article about that: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/maryland/best-stargazing-in-the-world-md/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=maryland&utm_campaign=newsletter&utm_content=nltitle1 You know that’s why my photographer husband wants to go, but I’m planning to bring a pony home.  Just kidding.  I’m just saying that we have different reasons for looking forward to this little get-away.  If we end up with a pony that’s just a bonus.  It’ll be a nice escape for him, work is stressing him out and he’s getting on my nerves. That’s what’s shakin’ here on our patch of the Eastern Shore.  I’m vaxxed against everything but the plague, I’m staying busy, we have plenty to look forward to, and fall is in the air.  It’s good, it’s all good.

Sending out loads of love and big hugs for anyone who needs one. Heck, even if you don’t. Consider yourself squeezed.
Stay safe, stay well, go get your booster.

A realistic day for me, a first year uni student in the UK.
Woke up at 1 pm. Yep productive start to the day, but I'm glad I did because that was the most sleep I have had in weeks and I needed it (for reference I went to bed at 8am yay insomnia).
Seminar 2 pm - 3 pm. Thursday's are a really light day for me this is my only contact hour. Right now we are working on a group project and I have to say I'm not a fan.
Then I went into the city for some coffee and some small necessities. Got home for 4:30 pm.
Realised I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning so I was promptly cooked toad in the hole because it's all I had left in my freezer and it was easy to do.
Now so far I'm feeling pretty shit because the day is almost over (it's already dark out due to daylight savings). So I want to do something. But my desk and general living space is a mess. I haven't cleaned in at least a month and even then it wasn't really cleaning. I have a pile of laundry as tall as me. So I stick on a podcast and try to tackle what can only be called a depression room.
So I started cleaning at 5 pm. I finish cleaning now, as I write this post, at 1 am. But I did three loads of laundry (washed, dried and put away). Bleached and scrubbed my entire bathroom. Reorganised most of my room with a few things left to do. Tackled my desk which didn't even look like a desk.

So other than the seminar I got no studying done and I'm still two weeks behind on reading but I am so damn proud of myself for taking care of myself. I actually made celebratory pancakes at midnight which then motivated me to do my dishes (and stop taking up counter space sorry flatmates).
Now at some point I do want to talk about why uni is hard for me. Not because I think anyone cares but I really enjoy looking back on these posts for future me. And I want future me to see that even when it builds up you can still tackle it. And you always come first.
Sorry for the wordy post I doubt anyone is reading this but again I do this mostly for my sake. So yeah. Here's an accurate day for me. I'm either taking care of myself, only studying or doing nothing. And I'll take this over nothing ┌⁠|⁠o⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠o⁠|⁠┘

The pictures are now my (mostly) cleaned room I did hide a couple things. Going to continue trying to read ASOIAF and see if I sleep tonight. Good luck y'all!
