I'm so happy that you write for jareth <3
Can I request head canons for being his "queen"? What would marriage with him be like and what would Jareth behave like? Fem reader , they met and married after Sarah left him;
💐anon
Oh my goshhh yesss.
Some Jareth Head Cannons~ Marriage Edition
So I feel like we should start how you guys met after Sarah left in the universe of this Tumblr post. So after Sarah left, Jareth was kind of depressed, like he wouldn't leave the castle or anything. A couple years ago by and he just tried to convince himself that he should just accept that he wasn't going to fall in love again. So for the first time in years he goes outside to touch some grass. He has these wonderful gardens that were maintained by humans that had grown from the babies he had taken away over the years. As he walked through these gardens he heard two humans talking. From a far he saw a man and a young woman. The man looked quite older than the girl who looked to be about 19 years of age. Immediately he was struck by the girl's beauty. She wore a simple brown dress with belt that seemed to hold a small bag. Jareth goes towards towards the people and the old man immediately bows and says "Your Majesty." But the girl dared to make eye contact and if it were anyone else Jareth would take it as disrespectful but couldn't bring himself to be angry. The old man sort of coughed and said, "Please excuse her for not knowing about respect your Majesty. This is my daughter, Y/n." And from that point on, Y/n and Jareth just happened to meet in a rose garden with a bench "on accident." They would talk for a couple weeks in that garden until Jareth started inviting her to dinners and finally to a ball, where he proposed in that same garden. And of course Y/n said yes. -------------------
The wedding was definitely going to be extravagant and Jareth would want everything down to the details of the flower petals to be perfect for you. The goblins in the castle would be more busy than before with Jareth giving them never ending tasks related to the wedding whether that was to invite guests or to decorate the streets and castle or to get your outfits ready. He would ask for your input on everything from the flower arrangements to the cake designs to how the streets of the city were decorated. The whole event started in the afternoon on a warm day but the party lasted until 3 in the morning with drunk party guests in their rooms passed out or goblins and maybe some humans passed out in the streets. But the night of the wedding was truly something you wouldn't forget. --------------------
So from here on are just some things he would do as a husband
He would love to have a family if you wanted one. Like the man loves kids and I can see him being like the dad that teaches his kids their powers at a young age or throws massive birthday parties for his children.
So Jareth isn't going to call you hot or cute. I'm talking stunning, beautiful, lovely, immaculate, gorgeous, sexy, shit with syllables.
Pet names for you- my dear, darling, love, my queen, my world
He loves seeing you in charge and acting like a queen about anything. When y'all get married he support you in whatever as long as you aren't like setting the kingdom on fair or doing anything really stupid. Like if you want to be in charge of the Goblin army? Done. You want to building more buildings like schools or libraries for humans? Done. Anything? Done
I feel like this man loves to cuddle. Like just laying on a sofa by the fire. His head on your chest while you play with his hair as you guys talk about anything. Or it's the morning and he tries to get you to stay in bed for a little longer by wrapping his arms around you and refusing to let go.
He gets you flowers and gifts all the time even if there is no occasion for them.
Because Jareth is used to being alone so he tries to do things on his own and refuses to ask you for help and it takes him awhile to get used to the idea that it's okay to ask you for help with something.
So yeah I hope you enjoyed it. That's all I can think of rn but maybe I will come up with more in the future. As always feel free to give me requests!

Tumblr media
Enjoy!
Got a big plan, this mindset maybe its right
At the right place and right time, maybe tonight
And the whisper or handshake sending a sign
Wanna make out and kiss hard, wait never mind
Alicent was punishing him. Not that she would ever admit to it, or he could ever prove, but it was just something he knew. Because there was absolutely no reason that you should be seated next to him as this gods forsaken dinner. 
Aemond had known you had entered the second his spine locked up, nervousness and anxiety racking through him as he risked a glance in your direction to see that you were already looking at him. You had walked in, a smarmy smile laced on your face, with your arm laced through your new husbands and a dazzling necklace across your neck. 
You squinted a bit at him before turning to whisper something in your husband's ear and Aemond found himself squeezing the goblet in his hand and trying his best not to sneer or rip his nephew's head off.  
You had chosen the bastard over him. How pathetic. So scared of your own emotions that you ran to the easiest target rather than facing the fucking truth. 
A smug feeling filled his chest at the thought of you moaning his name while in bed with his cowardly nephew, that feeling quickly being washed away by the sound of his mothers voice. “Lady Y/n, how radiant you look. Dare I say….glowing?”
His hand tightened across the goblet again, red blinding his sight before you answered with a small laugh. “Not yet, but not from lack of trying. I swear.”
Your voice was bragging and he tried not to laugh. As if his nephew could actually give you any form of pleasure. Not after you had Aemond.
“I do apologize for our seating arrangement, you are in between my two boys tonight for the meal.” Alicent smiles before passing you and moving to greet her old friend. You turn to Aemond and give him a polite smile before turning to Jacaerys and kissing his cheek. 
Before Aemond could remove himself from the table your husband was blocking his path, pulling out your chair for you and kissing your head, leaning down to mutter a soft “Remember the plan” before moving to his own side of the table. 
Aemond loses sight of him the second he is away from you, because he cannot seem to drag his eyes anywhere else. Gods, he hated you. Hated everything about you. From the perfect hair to the gorgeous eyes all the way to the natural way you seemed to win everyone over. Witch.
You move your head to make eye contact and the second you do his heart stops dead in his chest. It was annoying that you still had this power over him. 
“If you look any closer you might burn right through me….prince.” You smile, batting your eyelashes the way you always knew riled him up. It was like you enjoyed pissing him off. 
“Good. Last I checked we were supposed to burn the witches.” He replies, trying to keep a nonchalant attitude. He knew the second the smile laced your features that he was correct, you really did enjoy pissing him off. 
“Well since I am a witch I feel quite free to lie. By the way, your eye patch looks dashing tonight. Really brings out the purple of your eye.”
“Fuck you.”
“Maybe if you play nice with your nephews I’ll take pity on you.” 
He was so close to responding before everyone else took their seats and he was left in silence while you turned your attention to the king. Only you weren’t actually paying attention. 
You played it normal, and Aemond nearly jumped out of his skin when your hand met his under the table, a soft touch from your pinky onto his. 
He tears his hand away, turning to glare at you before you roll your own and lean back, a heat traveling across his skin when you wink. 
You were mocking him. He knew it. 
“Aemond, is it true that you and Lady Y/n grew up together?” Lord Stark asks, forcing Aemond to drag his eyes away from you. 
“Indeed. We had studies together.” You answer for him, smiling lightly as you leant forward to grab your goblet. 
“I taught her everything she knows.” Aemond says this as he looks to his nephew, that smug feeling returning again as his nephew sneers. That’s right, I made her cum long before you. 
When he glances back to you, the conversation moving away from him finally, you are already staring at him once again. This time your eyes are hooded, and he knows that you caught on to his jab. 
“I believe I taught you a few useful tricks myself.” You whisper, before turning away to talk to the person on your right. 
His entire body is aflame at the memories and a harsh anger rises in him. Of course you would do this, marry his nephew then rub it in his face. 
You had led him on. You had tore him up as though it was nothing.
Late night, and passing, mention it flipped her
Best friend, who knows saying maybe it slipped
But the slip turns to terror and a crush to light
When she walked in, he froze up, believe its the fright
You ignored his existence the rest of dinner, not that Aemond minded because he got many opportunities to glance at you this way. 
He watched the way you fixed your hair and the way your hand caresses the bodice of your dress when you bring it back down. He looks at the exposed part of your neck before his eyes catch on the pulse point. 
How easy it would be to just lean over and bite you the way he knows you like. How easy it would be to reach his hand up your skirt and- Your eyes cast to him before he can finish the thought and he soon realizes that everyone is staring at him.
“I apologize, I seem to have dazed off.” He rushes out, trying not to get embarrassed under your gaze. “I do not feel well, I believe I should return to my chambers.”
Before anyone could argue his request he is out of the chair, burning through the room and heading to his own chambers across the keep. It was uncomfortable to walk due to the aching hard on he now wore, and he was desperate to make it to his rooms to fix this problem.
He felt like a stupid fool. You probably barely thought of him, and here he was pining after you. Pining after the traitor.
By the time he pushes the door to his chambers his chest is heaving and every piece of him feels as though it is on fire.  Ragged breaths consumed him as his fingers worked to tear off his leathers. 
“Fuck.” He curses, when his finger snags on the leather of his riding pants, hopping out of his boots to hop on the bed. His back hits the cushion of it and he stares at the ceiling for a moment so he could calm down and focus.
He could not think about you. He hated you. You betrayed him and he hated you-
Before he could stop himself he reached down, a moan slipping from his lips as he touched himself, your face flashing in his mind. No no no. This was wrong and he hated you. 
But that didn’t stop him from sitting up, working himself faster as he imagined you above him, moaning to him just as you used to at the speed you liked- fuck Y/n. fuck fuck fu-
Y/n.
You were there. In the doorway with wide eyes and a blush on your cheeks as he stopped short, a ragged whine passing his lips when he realized. 
Its cute in a way, till you cannot speak
And you leave to have a cigarette, your knees get weak
An escape is just a nod and a casual wave
Obsessed about it, heavy for the next two days
“I wasn’t…” The lie begins to slip from his lips before he can stop it, but halfway through he realizes that he shouldn’t have to lie. You had seen him do this countless times, how was today different? 
You were married. And you shouldn’t be here.  “Leave.”
“I’m sorry.” You whisper, eyes welling up as you take a step back before you turn. Only you don’t leave, when your hand touches the door you risk a glance over your shoulder to where he is still sitting, still completely bare to you. “I’m sorry you hate me.”
“I’m not.” He sneers, face heating as your eyes track across his body. “You are a lying whore.”
“Indeed.”
“And you took everything I gave you and threw it away.”
“If that’s what you believe.”
You stared, unmoving, as he stood and walked closer. Everything in him screamed to pull you close and he was infuriated that even after all this time he still craved your touch. He still dreamt of having you in his sheets just as you used to. 
“You should leave.” He whispers, his chest meeting yours as he looks down on you, hands clenched at his sides to keep from grasping them in your hair like he wanted. 
“I should.” You reply, leaning your nose up to touch against his. The second your skin meets his he is gone, hands whipping up to your hair as he pulls you in for a rough and ragged kiss. 
It's only just a crush, it'll go away
It's just like all the others it'll go away
Or maybe this is danger and he just don't know
You pray it all away but it continues to grow
Maybe if he just got you out of his system it would be better. He could hate you from a distance after this and everything would be fine.  But the moment his lips touch your own he knows he is a goner. 
A warmth bleeds through his chest as you kiss back, your hands wrapping around to pull him closer by his back and he pushes you both forward until you are pressed against the door. A grunt pushes through him when his hands travel your body, lifting your skirt to touch the back of your thighs and help you hop up. 
Tearing yourself away to catch your breath gives him a moment to stare at you, the smug feeling returning once again. “Where is your husband?”
“Don’t ask.” You gasp, pulling him back in for another kiss. He stabilizes you both so you can reach and undo your corset, biting his lip harshly and making him groan out. 
“I hate you-” 
“I hate you more.” He enjoyed the way you gasped that out, allowing him to suck at your neck as both of you begin grinding into each other. “Aemond please-”
“Please what?”
I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
“Aemond.” You try again, leaning to catch his head in your hands and pull him up to face you. “I’m so-”
“That’s not what I want to hear and you know it.” He seethes, pushing your skirt up higher. “I don’t want to hear your fake fucking apologies.”
And then the dam breaks and you are rushing forward to kiss him again, your teeth clash against each other and you bite down harshly before pulling back, eyes hooded. “Then fuck me. Fuck me like you hate me.”
I want to hold you close
Soft breasts, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I want to fucking tear you apart
He doesn’t waste any time, dragging you both to the bed and slamming you across the sheets, laying on top of you with a fire in his eyes and a smirk on his lips. “This is familiar.”
A small laugh tears from your throat when he grips your corset and tears it in half, growling a bit as he moves to your skirt. The sound of cloth ripping fills the room and you sit up quickly, snatching the eye patch off his face before he can fight it. 
A hand wraps around your wrist tightly, dragging the patch back. “No. I want to see you, Aemond.” You argue, keeping your arm tight as he grunts out before finally letting go. 
He can’t argue that,  nor can he argue the proud feeling he gets from those words, instead he crawls up your body until you are nose to nose. You smile at him and for a moment he can imagine himself back to the moments you used to have, before you were married off. 
“Breathe.” He whispers, just like he always had, before he is pushing himself into you. A groan escapes him at the same time you gasp out, hands scratching along his back as he fills you fully and for the first time in a long time he felt at home,
It disgusted him. 
“I hate you.”
“Then show me.” You laugh and he gives in. 
Then he walked up and told her, thinking that he'd passed
And they talked and looked away a lot, doing the dance
Her hand brushed up against his, she left it there
Told him how she felt and then they locked in a stare
The room filled with grunts and the heavy sound of skin slapping, Aemonds hands landing on the bed above both your shoulders to keep you trapped close to him as his hips snapped into you over and over. 
“You’re…..a….fucking whore-” He seethes, grunting louder as you moan out. “A fucking traitor.”
He laughs when you come undone, moving to lean down closer and press his nose to your cheek when you turn away. “I’m not done yet.”
They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do
'Cause there's always repercussions when you're dating in school
But their lips met, and reservations started to pass
Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last
He takes you over and over, telling himself each time would be the last, but he couldn’t get enough. It was like a beast that had been let out of its cage and was ravaging anything it possibly could. 
By the time he had his fill, 5 rounds later when the sun began coming up, he let you sleep beside him as he kept you close. His hand laid on your thigh as you curled yourself up, breathing evenly as you dreamt. 
Just one more kiss and he would be good. He would be rid of this craving, he swears it. 
But when his lips touched your forehead very softly he closed his eyes and held them there, mentally begging himself to just get up and never touch you again. He hates you. 
“A traitorous whore.” You murmur, eyes still closed, and his eyebrows pop up in surprise. “That’s what you are thinking. I know it.”
“Am I wrong?”
“I hate you.”
“I know.”
Either way he wanted her and this was bad
He wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy
Now a little crush turned into a like
And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her
You left the next morning in one of his tunics, with a limp in your step that had his heart beating quickly but he ignored it, holding a hand to his chest to try and stop it. 
When the door shuts he turns back to the bed, shoving his nose in the pillow you had slept and and imagined if you could stay, if you had married him instead. 
Pathetic.
I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right
The halls were filled with people cheering and wearing flower crowns, the courtyard filled with twice as much music. 
Aemond sat under the tree feeling sick and angry. 
They were celebrating you, or rather your child. The news had passed quickly that you had begun your labors in the early hours of the day, with Rhaenyra by your side and your ‘devoted husband’. 
“Brother!” Helaena calls, snapping him out of his moping. “Come!”
Ever the attentive brother he stands, moving to follow her through the halls as she holds her baby in her hands. She talks his ear off as they join their mother, her face pulled into a tight frown. 
The two ladies lead him to Rhaenyras chambers, where you are laid out on the bed with sweat covering your skin and a small bundle in your arms. Rhaenyra is giving you the widest smile he has ever seen his sister give and many people are congratulating Jahaerys. 
“Have you heard the good news?” A Lord asks, leaning in to whisper to Aemond. “Lady Y/n has delivered a Targaryen. White hair and all.”
Memories of your last night flash together, of Jahearys asking you about a plan and you showing up to his rooms. 
A wide smile covers his face when he looks up to find you already staring at him, a knowing and tired look on your own features. Oh, how he hated you.

Request Rules.
Masterlist
Sovieshu doesn't really act like a yandere in this one??
Tumblr media
Anger.
That's what Sovieshu was feeling right now, seeing a ton of men from ranks alike, talking so casually with his beloved was making furious than ever before.
He wanted to kill those bastards for even thinking they had the chance to talk with his [Name], HIS [Name].
But of course, what did he expect? His beautiful girl, with smile that brought the sun to shame. The face that radiates beauty that it seemed like she was the daughter of the Aphrodite herself, and her eyes. The mesmerizing light rainbow color that had everyone enchanted.
Of course, [Name] was bound to get attention from everyone. But it was insulting that these lowly nobles think they had a chance with his [Name], the women that is known to have the Emperor's attention, him, THE EMPEROR.
It was bold, it was clear that these men around her were sweetening her up, buttering her with their filthy empty words.
No, they couldn't treat her better than he will. He was better, far much better than anyone, than any men. Everyone in the ball could practically see the Emperor's raging seething anger while the men who was crowding [Name] were completely oblivious to it.
Karl, Sovieshu's most trusted secretary gulped seeing the Emperor's rage. As well as his childhood friend, Navier and her husband Heinrey. They looked at Sovieshu worriedly who looked like he was about to explode from how the men were interacting freely with his darling.
"Your majesty, are you alright?" Heinrey asked as the black haired looked at him, he put on a fake smile and nodded. "Of course, why do you think of the opposite, your highness?" Sovieshu sighed making the couple sigh at his jealousy.
Though they didn't know, that his jealousy was far far, more dangerous than ever. Not your typical jealousy, the kind of jealousy that was dangerous.
Just the thought of those filthy men looking at his sweet girl was making him want to kill everyone, to take their eyes off for daring to even talk to her so casually. He wants to sew their mouth shut for talking to her.
"I'll be going." He stood up from the throne and went to his beloved, the nobles noticed and made way as he was standing behind his beloved back. [Name] turned around and her face lit up seeing Sovieshu, he could see the discomfort she was in because of being surrounded by many noble men.
Oh, his poor darling. He should've come sooner.
The nobles saw Sovieshu and bowed down in respect and greeted him, they looked up and saw the dangerous glare from the Emperor. They shivered and excused themselves, not wanting their head to be ripped off by the Emperor himself.
"[Name].." "Mhmm? Yes, your majesty?" [Name] said looking at him with those beautiful rainbow eyes, oh how beautiful it was. He wished he was the only one that could look at those beautiful orbs forever.
"Would you like to dance?" Sovieshu said, offering his hand to her as he kneeled down. [Name] smiled and nodded, taking his hand. "Of course your majesty!" She said with a wide smile making Sovieshu melt at the sight of her gorgeous smile.
He led her in the middle of the room as the slow waltz started, of course the dance wouldn't start if the royal couple themselves haven't yet.
The music started as slowly the other nobles began to dance alongside the royal couple.
Sovieshu hand laid softly on her waist while the other holding his hand, and her hand on his shoulder. Her smile that was only and only directed at him, it was a picture perfect sight for Sovieshu.
"Did you feel uncomfortable dear?" "Huh?" [Name] looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean?" She asked as Soveishu twirled her. "Earlier, when the noble men surrounded you. Did you feel uncomfortable in any way?" He asked, his voice is one of concern, concern for his beloved safety.
She bit her bottom lip as she nodded. "Y-Yeah... I did..." [Name] said with a uncomfortable looked that caused Sovieshu heart to swell, he didn't like seeing that look on her face. Especially if it's caused by other people.
He can't have his beloved be uncomfortable, no one shall make his [Name] uncomfortable ever.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't be by your side... I shouldn't have wander by yourselves.." Sovieshu said as he pulled [Name] closer to him, his mouth just an inch away from her ear, his hot breath hitting her ear which caused her to shiver from the contact.
"I won't let anyone make you feel uncomfortable... I don't want other men talking so casually with you..." He whispered as [Name] nodded. "Just... be by my side.." [Name] pleaded making Sovieshu smile. "Of course.. of course..."
- "I'll always protect you, no matter what." "Ughh..."
Sovieshu wiped his bloodied hand as the bodies of several noble men that he saw that were surrounding [Name] during the ball were scattered through the dungeon floor.
Karl gulped, seeing the Emperor's jealousy, possessive nature come through was scary. No one knew of the Emperor's dangerous nature whenever it comes to his beloved [Name]. Only he, Marquess Karl, knows of Sovieshu dangerous nature.
[Name] doesn't know and just thinks he's overly possessive or jealous, but it was a limit that nobody should cross over and Sovieshu was too far off from the line to come back to.
"Let the dogs eat their bodies." Sovieshu said as Karl nodded, the Emperor went off as Karl released the dogs into the cell and ate the dead bodies up.
His footsteps and the sounds of the dogs howling and eating the flesh was the constant sound that always comes from the dungeon, the part of the dungeon where no one else knows.
He arrived back into the palace as maids, servants and knights greeted him. Sovieshu arrived at his headquarters and saw his beloved [Name] brushing her hair while humming, she was already wearing her night gown. Ready to hit the hay for the knight.
Sovieshu quietly closed the door and wrapped his arms around her, burying his face against her neck, catching her caught off guard. [Name] looked at Sovieshu and giggled as she put the brush down on the vanity mirror.
"I love you..." "I love you too..."

Prompt: Anticipation
@wolfstarmicrofic
“Stop moving,” commanded Lily, as she applied eyeliner to Sirius. “Or do you want to look like a sad panda?”
“Worked for Lou Reed,” said Remus, who was already in full Rocky regalia. He still couldn’t believe he’d agreed to it, but a dare was a dare, and besides, James had begged to go as Dr. Frank-n-Furter this year for a change. This left Sirius with no choice but to go as Columbia, and Remus was enjoying the transformation immensely.
“Must you press so hard?” whined Sirius, crossing one fishnet-clad leg over the other.
Lily, with a sound of exasperation, licked at her eyebrow pencil and tried again.
“How many times is it now?” said Peter, who was going as Brad. He always went as Brad, and brought whatever girl he was dating as Janet.
“Fourth time,” said James, with a grin. He looked smashing in drag, and somehow not in the least effeminate. “And this time shall be the best, if none of us dies of anticipation first.”
Sirius, on the other hand, looked deeply androgynous in a twinkling bustier and bow tie. “Careful with the hair, Lils,” he advised. “Spell it too short, and it’ll look more Bowie than Columbia.”
“Enough with the glam rock music references,” said Lily. “The two of you listen to far too much as it is.”
“There’s no such thing as too much glam rock,” countered Sirius. “Because glam rock by definition IS too much.”
“You’re too much,” said Lily. “Now shush while I put on your lipstick.”
The end result wasn’t half bad, and Sirius looked at himself in the mirror at length, while the others wandered off to gather food and drink from the kitchen.
“Hey,” said Remus, lingering. “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the look suits you.”
Sirius craned his neck to look Remus over from head to toe and back again, landing somewhere around his middle. “And you,” he said. “Shows off your abs to perfection.”
Remus was pretty sure that he was looking lower than his abs, but their friends were within earshot and he felt it was best to let that sleeping dog lie for now. “Who knew I had them,” he deadpanned, glancing down at himself. It was hard to overlook the scars, but thanks to time and various healing potions, they were more like tattoos than blemishes now, and Remus had to admit that they looked rather cool.
“I knew,” said Sirius, biting his lip and tilting his head back as he looked up at Remus, who felt absurdly tall and underdressed in comparison. “It’s about time the world catches up to the fact that my boyfriend is a gorgeous hunk.”
“Not the impression I was intending to make, but I suppose it beats being pinned as a bookish hermit.” He scratched at his head and added, “You do know that this is a blue-moon event and will probably never happen again.”
“Yes, I do. Just like we all know you’re so much more than that,” said Sirius, and Remus’ heart, which was apparently training for the circus now, did a backwards flip. “Along with Lily, you’re the glue that holds us together, and keeps James and me from getting into too much trouble.”
Remus looked away, blushing. “Yeah, well, I’m not always good at it.”
“Good enough,” said Sirius, and when Remus met his eyes again, the temperature of the room felt about five degrees warmer. “Now, what do you say we get away from these nutters and put those gold shorts to good use?”
Thanks for the awesome prompts this January! I had a lot of fun with them, and I enjoyed reading other people’s microfics too. I’m probably not going to be as consistent with posting microfics for February, as I’m working on writing a few longer fics at the moment. You’re welcome to check out my completed works on AO3 if it strikes your fancy. Keep up the excellent work, y’all! 🍀

Slashers with an insecure s/o
Requested by @wickedwild . sorry momma I deleted the draft and lost your ask, but I still got this!
WARNINGS: insecurities and self deprecating remarks on readers part. Probable implied body image issues. I cannot add cuts to my posts!! Please DO NOT scroll by this point if any of this will trigger you! Nothing is specific but stay safe babies <33 also, hella cursing. lol.
Tumblr media
Thomas Hewitt.
He's never looked at or treated himself with kindness. Before you, he never had a very high opinion of himself.
He remembers the times he'd look at his reflection scornfully then remove all the mirrors from his room. Now he stands straighter and doesn't treat himself with so much…. scorn.
It hurts him and it hurts you when you talk so poorly of yourself…. How could you think that way?
"I look like a mess…" You huff and examine yourself. His heart breaks into thousands of pieces at the sound of your words. How do you not see yourself the way he sees you? You're a spitting image of perfection. It's unfair. He's so blessed, why can't you see the same thing? You look up as you feel him hug you from behind and nuzzle his face into your shoulder.
"Tommy?" He doesn't speak but the little squeeze communicates perfectly that he's upset with your words.
"I'm sorry Tommy, you know I'm trying."
He knows. He does. He's so proud of you. He'll pull back to rest his forehead against yours. With one of his large well calloused hands, he'd cradle the side of your face. And in a hoarse almost painful sounding voice he'll whisper one single word: "Gorgeous". Because it's what you are. Even if you don't see it.
Tumblr media
Jason Voorhees.
How could you do this to his poor stilled heart?
At first Jason thinks he did something to make you feel that way- had he not made it clear how beautiful he thinks you are? His stomach sinks to his shoes as he drops all the firewood he was carrying in his burly arms. You had admitted you didn't feel pretty today as you sat on a stump, watching him work. You had needed to be around him and now he understands why. And Jason is immediately by your side, sitting on the grass beside you and taking your smaller hand into his. He tilts his head, prompting you to continue as tears fill your eyes.
"I just don't feel pretty today, I dunno what's wrong with me, I just feel so out of place in my skin…"
A soft sound leaves him. Might as well figure it's his entire being refusing the idea that you could ever have an off day- how do you always look so effortlessly perfect then? explain that! It's quiet for a second, Jason silently pondering what to say or do as he strokes your knuckles with his thumb. He raises your hand to the forehead of his mask, leaning it against your digits. a soft gesture that shows his never ending amount of love and adoration held for you without saying a single thing. It might not heal your wounds, but it protects them so they have a chance to mend themselves.
Tumblr media
Brahms Heelshire.
How dare you speak about yourself like that around him? Are you asking for him to throw a fit? He should just make another rule: no being mean to yourself. Though that doesn't fix things even Brahms somewhat can grasp that. He stomps his foot and crosses his arms, waiting for you to apologize for daring to say something like that.
"C'mon! that's not nice!"
You look over and realize what's gotten him so upset.
"Brahmsie, I'm sorry-"
"No! Not enough!"
He wraps his arms around you securely and pulls you into bed with him, grumbling under his breath. You struggle for a second as he cuddles into you, before resistance leaves you quickly and you just sigh. He presses his face into your hair and slowly calms from his initial anger.
"...I don't like when you talk like that. Or when you look at yourself like that."
What shocks you is that what you hear isn't being spoken by the childlike voice you're so used to, he's speaking in his real voice. It's thick, gruff with his age. You look up at his masked face and peer into his eyes, which are laced with a somehow unreadable emotion. With careful hands you reach to the claps that hold the mask to his face.
It falls into your awaiting hand and you move the smooth porcelain from his features. You land a gentle kiss to his cheeks. The tension that had built quickly melts. He runs a hand through your hair.
"I think you're absolutely beautiful…"
He spoke with such maturity it was shocking, but so welcomed in a moment like this.
Tumblr media
Bo Sinclair.
Sometimes bo teases you, whether it be for your choice of shoes or a freckle on your face that he pretends to wipe off like he thinks it's a crumb, but he's never *mean*. Bo loves you even if he doesn't tell you regularly, and you know that. Deep down you really do, but of course you still have moments where insecurities seep into the cracks you thought you've sealed for good. You can't control them, and some days they manage to control you. He doesn't notice, he's been cooped up in the garage all day. But oh when he comes back to your room after a long day he notices the sadness radiating off of your huddled form under the blankets. How could he miss it? He's literally your boyfriend.
"Darlin', what's wrong?"
You shake your head and scoot back into his arms. He sighs and kisses down your cheek and along your jawline. They're featherlight and your heart aches less and less little by little with each one.
"One of those days?" you nod. He knows them too well. And as he holds you a little closer, you feel protected from all the negativity… even for just a second.
"Y'know, you're the damn prettiest thing I think I've ever seen." He hums into the back of your head. Smooth bastard.
Tumblr media
Vincent Sinclair.
He may be silent, but saying so little just means he can sense what's being left unsaid. He can feel what's bothering you, he's been through that for years. The same sort of thoughts have tormented him until he was numbed and can simply push them to the back of his mind and move on with his day. And oh it hurts so much to see you struggle and he isn't sure what to say or how to approach you on it. Would that be too invasive? 'Hey I know you're feeling really insecure even though you didn't say it-' yeah scratch that idea.
He does what he does best. He captures what he can't say in his art. He spends the day sketching you all over the pages of his notebooks and eventually tearing them out. He'll fold them out and leave them where you can find them, covered in sticky notes with compliments clearly written in his writing. He watches nearby as you find them, anxiously playing with his fingers. Tears fall down your face and he thinks he's done something wrong, but seeing someone capture what you hate about yourself in such a poetic and gorgeous way that has your mouth dried up- it brings tears to your eyes. Now you know you can come to Vincent with everything. Vent to him and he'd listen silently like he does best and eventually you'll even learn enough ASL to be able to understand him when he signs to you how gorgeous you are. adorable boy.
Tumblr media
Lester Sinclair.
You expect him to let that shit slide? Nuh uh! no way! Imagine even trying to speak badly about yourself around this boy! Did you really think that would work?? 😭
He turns to you SO FAST YOU'RE PRETTY SURE HE POPPED HIS NECK OR SOMETHING OR MADE HIMSELF DIZZY
he doesn't say anything right away, like he's waiting for you to take it back. But you're just looking at him, just as quiet and even more confused. He's quick to disprove whatever you said, listing off reasons just why guy can't be gross or stupid or ugly- it's impossible and he plans to prove that to you!
"I'm so ugly :(" "yeah and I'm the lead singer of Florida Georgia line".
He's so offended on your behalf, but hurt like Thomas. Because he can't stand you thinking that way when you're a spitting image of an angel to him :(
"Don't talk like that, sweetheart. Ain't helpin' no one and it just hurtin' you worse, 'kay? How about we take a drive to clear that pretty head of yours?"
Jonesy will kiss you and demand pets and it keeps you distracted for the most part, and Lester will help you work through all that negativity.
Tumblr media
Jesse Cromeans.
He isn't sure what to say for a heartbeat. It's quiet as he just watches you after something as silly as that fell from your lips. Uh… are you serious?
That's his initial reaction. It jarred him from his thoughts. The peaceful quiet y'all were in completely shattered and he wasn't prepared, but it's ok.
"I'm so ugly."
He's quick to sign "why" to you, or write on whatever pad is nearby. You list off a couple things about yourself that bothers you, and he's quick to remind you: hey, you don't control what you were given. It's true, you could change it- but he wouldn't let you. He adores you and he's determined to make you see it and see yourself for all you're worth. Because you're more precious than diamonds to him. He'll call off any upcoming business trips or meetings, his full attention is on YOU now. His reaction isn't in the moment, but over the weeks he'll make sure you start to feel as beautiful as you truly are <3
Tumblr media
Billy Loomis.
Oh shit. He's shocked, even if his expression doesn't convey it right. He studies your troubled expression, and scoots a little closer to you on the couch as he realizes you're serious. You won't look him in the eyes, and he can only imagine it just be hard to think that way. Now I'm not sure how Billy views himself, he's hard to pick apart. His first instinct is to wrap an arm around you and bring you closer. He considers his words very carefully before he opens his mouth. God he's never been good at comforting people-
"Hey, hey.. what's got you thinking like that? That's not true."
You sniffle and lean into him, and he smooths your hair.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be such a negative ass I just…."
"You can't help it." He finishes for you. You nod.
"I know it might not help that much, but you do know that I think you're fucking breathtaking, right? I.. know I don't say it a lot, but it fucking blows seeing you think like that."
It ain't much, but that's what Billy can manage. He'll eventually get better at comforting you and all that… But it'll be a learning process. He'll figure out what you need in moments like those and be ready to provide.
Tumblr media
Harry Warden.
Oh no. Harry fucking buffers. You? insecure? Does this mean he's failed as a boyfriend??? How does he fix it? Turn it off and on again? ...how does he do that to a human?
He isn't mushy, not in the slightest. But he'll hold you from behind and kiss your shoulder and what parts of your face he can get at and let you feel him there and holding you. He won't say anything and he won't push you to. You can feel his support though, even if he doesn't vocalize it. He's far better at just holding you and letting you feel things and love you through it than just…. tryna talk you out of those emotions. He wants to! Believe me, but he doesn't think he'll word it right enough to make you feel any different. He'll compliment you more though, call you some more pet names that are genuinely sweet- in a harry way!
Sweetheart, angel face, doll, softie, pie, etc. In a quiet moment he'll tell you how much you mean to him. Most likely when you're both in bed, and he'll confess he's always thought you were perfect, the most perfect being really- and it'll end with a gentle kiss to your lips and a long night of cuddling!

The one where Ethan gets caught

***
Not knocking had gotten you in a number of awkward situations over the course of your life. You had busted in on people taking showers, friends making out with their one-night stands, acquaintances changing clothes. You had seen things that hadn't been meant for your eyes and heard things that hadn't been meant for your ears. Yet, you never seemed to learn. And none of the situations you had gotten yourself into compared with the one you were facing when you busted into Ethan's bedroom.
The scene in front of you played out in slow motion. Your ears picked up on it before your eyes did. On the obscene noises, the groans and the moans, coming from the laptop on Ethan's bed. It's where your gaze went first, drawn in by the sound. The next thing you saw was Ethan's legs, naked, and then steering higher and higher until your eyes landed on his cock, hard, partially hidden by the hand around it. You lingered longer than you intended before your gaze hastily snapped up towards his face, which was painted in a slightly pink colour. His jaw was slacked, you couldn't tell whether in embarrassment or arousal, but his widened eyes were a clear sign of how much you had surprised him.
Not a single word escaped either of your mouths. Your face was on fire, and so was another part of you. Without a second thought, you retreated back outside, closing the door behind you with a bang and leaning against it. What the hell had just happened?
You tried to shake it off, planning to simply leave and go back to the living room, pretending that nothing had ever happened. You wouldn't talk to him about it or make it awkward in any way. Yet your mind kept replaying the scene you had just witnessed. The way Ethan was spread out on his bed. The way he was gripping his cock. His face and the turned-on look in his eyes, even through the shock. His toned chest, muscles clenched. You couldn't stop thinking about seeing him in motion, how he would stroke himself, whether he would throw his head back in euphoria, the sounds that would escape him.
Your body didn't wait for your head to follow before it made a decision. In an instant, you had turned the doorknob and busted back into Ethan's room. The sound had been turned off but apart from that, he hadn't moved an inch, possibly still horrified at being caught. But you caught his eye easily.
"I want to watch."
With newfound confidence, you wandered over to the armchair in the corner of his room, never once breaking eye contact. You sat down slowly and purposely, highly aware that you had the perfect view of him from your position.
"If you let me."
Ethan didn't speak a word. Instead, he kept staring at you intently as you got comfortable in your seat, and started moving his hand. The laptop was pushed to the side and long forgotten. He had a head-start on you, already hard as hell and probably getting close to his breaking point, but as you watched, your arousal was quickly catching up. You didn't notice at first how you had slid down deeper, parted your legs, and started drawing little circles on the inside of your thigh. He, however, noticed, his eyes moving away from your face. You pushed the material of your skirt up, allowing him a better look as your panties began to dampen.
His lips emitted a low growl while your fingers travelled further, now timidly touching yourself over the fabric. You could see his eyes darkening, obviously enamoured by what he was seeing, and his whole body began to move restlessly. Time and time again he swept over his own tip, gathering precum and lathering the rest of his cock with it. It was hypnotising to watch. His head was leaned, actually more like pressed against the wall, his hair tangling and all over the place. He was gorgeous and you hoped he was thinking the same of you.
With a teasing smile on your lips, your fingers wandered under the material of your panties, letting out a gasp as you touched your bare pussy for the first time. The way he kept staring at you made you want to be loud, be uninhibited, give him as much of a show as he was giving you. You could see him going faster now, his hips moving against his movements to provide even more friction. Your panties were quickly pushed to the side, slowly letting a finger enter you as he watched in awe. Pulling it back out, you delighted yourself in showing him just how much of your wetness you had gathered, then licking along the length of it, taking it in your mouth, and swallowing. Ethan did not manage to stay quiet, even his breathing so harsh now that you could continuously hear him.
Your fingers were back on your pussy now, shoving two into it in a desperate attempt to come before Ethan would, desperately wanting him to come undone from watching you lost in your orgasm. You moved more quickly now, trying to keep with the rhythm Ethan was going at. Your back arched off the armchair, the feeling too much as you watched him jack off, your other hand looking for something to hold onto, the back of the armchair, your own breasts over your shirt, then down to your clit.
It was only a matter of time. Both of you were obviously getting more desperate. Ethan's eyes were solely focused on the action between your legs and it gave you the last push, knowing he was getting off on you just as you were getting off on him. A few more touches to your clit, your fingers shoved in up to your knuckles, and the ecstasy and euphoria washed over you, leaving you shaking and moaning in chants, clenching, gasping, coming.
Ethan didn't take long to follow. As you looked back at him, eyes still clouded and fingers still in your panties, you could see it in his face. You kept the eye contact, daring him to get there, to let go, and he did. In a few more strokes, he came all over his naked stomach, the most devilish sounds leaving his mouth, eyes closing. He was a sight and you knew you'd see this exact image in your head the next time you were alone in your room with just you and your hand.
You finally pulled your fingers out of your underwear, getting up from your position and walking over to Ethan, who was in post-orgasmic bliss and offered them to him. He eagerly took them, licking them clean in one last effort, as his breathing regulated.
"We should do this more often," you simply stated, smirking at him. He couldn't do anything more but nod, and watch, as you left his room, planning to return at the next given chance.

what great men say
james potter x reader
—author’s note: I was extremely soft about James and just how goofy he is around his friends and I just had to write it down. So what does being friends with James and eventually falling for him include? Enjoy!

Tumblr media
You sighed looking at the time. He would be here any minute— he never came late. Tapping your foot, you turned your attention to the book open in front of you. Transfiguration. The subject that you struggled with the most. James excelled at it. 
The turtle he transformed the teacup into that day was stunning. Popping its head inside the green-gold shell as everyone looked on. James smiled teasingly wide when McGonagall had commended him. No one noticed when he shifted aside to talk to the turtle in a baby voice. It made you smile. You blinked. Words swirled on the page you’d opened. Shaking your head, you turned to concentrate on them.
“There you are!” James shouted as the librarian shot him a glare. He was huffing— apparently from running to the library. He made an apologetic face and slowly came and plopped down beside you.
“Do you always have to be loud?” you said as he playfully rolled his eyes.
“Well, a great man once said loudness is the way of life,” he huffed, breathing deeply as you raised an eyebrow.
“And is this great man you?”
“Are you saying anything to the contrary?”
You let a small smile play on your lips which etched his grin further.
“I wouldn’t dare,” you said as he adjusted his collar, looking smug.
“I mean, even great men tell the turtle they made from a teacup that it is a good boy,” you said nonchalantly, opening a notebook. James flustered.
“I didn’t tell Jake he was a good boy,” he murmured.
“Jake, huh?”
“Shut it.”
The two of you spend the next hour working on the transfiguration assignment. James was patient as he helped you through spells and theory. You laughed, studied and talked. It was just like that between you two. You were good friends, you teased each other, pulled a few pranks and had fun. There was something about him that made you open up more than anyone else. And you loved him. It was stupid really. 
James was utterly and completely in love with Lily Evans. Everyone knew that. You tried and you tried to push it back but you couldn’t help it. It crept up upon you- he had always been so kind to you, so adorably cute that you just fell for him. As torturous as it was, you didn’t dare to even hint him about it. Listening to him gush about the perfect head-girl, you never let your smile fade even if it never reached your eyes. 
James poked your side as you packed your books.
“Hmm?”
“Lily and I talked a lot last night,” he said excitedly as your chest contracted. You zipped up your bag, hanging it by your side.
“Oh yeah?” you asked, plastering on a smile. The two of you started moving out of the library.
“It was amazing,” He said, punctuating each word, a dreamy look on his face. “She told me about her muggle life- records, music tapes- that sort of stuff. She was surprised when I talked to her about Queen and Beatles, impressed even.”
He scratched the back of his head, narrowly avoiding a first year who ran past the two of you.
“Couldn’t tell her you introduced it to us and it’s what Sirius blasts in the room all day long.”
You giggled.
“Did he listen to all of them already?” you asked, desperate to change topics. The two of you turned around the corner. James scoffed.
“Pretty sure he heard each of them at least a hundred times.”
“It’s good music James,” you sighed. “Ask him whether he’s free next Hogsmeade weekend, I’ll show him a place he’s going to adore.”
“Ah, I have some head-boy duties with Lily, Remus is helping Slughorn for extra credit and Peter is practicing astronomy,” James said as you furrowed your eyebrows.
“So Sirius is free?”
“Yes, but we aren’t,” James shrugged as you laughed.
“Okay,” you dragged on, not sure where the conversation was going. “Ask him if he’d like to go with me?”
James turned to you, confused.
“You’ll go with Sirius, alone?” he asked as you hummed in response, shrugging. He scowled.
You turned back at James standing at the door to the common room.
“Tomorrow, same time?” you asked with a smile. He nodded giving you a half-hearted grin and moving towards his room. Did you say something wrong? Shaking your head, you retreated to your dorm.
-♡♡♡-
A loud knock shook you. You looked towards the window and… James?
“James what the hell are you doing there?” you asked, jolting towards the sill and unlocking it. The idiot was standing a broom nearly forty feet above ground.
“I was wondering whether you’d join us all for a trip to the kitchens?” he breathed, a small smile playing on his lips. You heard snorts making you look down at the ground. Sirius, Remus and Peter were rolling out in laughter, but you couldn’t think much about that.
“Are you insane? Bloody sit down on your broom or come in,” you said eyes wide.
“Fine, I’m coming.” James grinned, jumping inside. He grabbed your arms almost falling over you. A strong perfume attacked your senses. His face was so close to yours, you could count the faint freckles on his face. Messy strands of hair fell over his forehead making you want to run your hands over them. You blinked, steading yourself before taking a step back. James coughed.
“Um, I was sneaking out for some hot chocolate,” he said placing his hands in his jeans’ pocket, thumbs out. “I remember you complaining we never took you.”
“Oh,” you said, feeling awkward all of a sudden. “Let me just get my jacket, it’s kinda cold.”
Grabbing the nearest jacket, you put it on as James stared around your room. You had decorated it beautifully. Post cards, quotes and some letters were put up on a wall on the far end. His eyes fell on you as you turned to him smiling, ready to leave. He gulped.
“How are we leaving?” you asked and James gestured to his broom floating outside your window.
After much bickering, you found yourself sitting behind James, holding onto him for your dear life. That wasn’t to say you didn’t enjoy it. It felt good being so close to him, having your hands around his waist. You almost felt sad when you reached down. Sirius smirked at you as you climbed off the broom. He knew more than he probably should.
“What took you so long?” Peter complained. You saw Sirius open his mouth to say something but closed it on seeing your glare. He wrapped an arm around your shoulder.
“Well now that she’s here, shall we?” he said leading you ahead of the group.
James frowned at the two of you. Sirius whispered something in your ear making you roll your eyes playfully.
“What’s made you so off now?” Peter asked. Remus patted his shoulder.
“Jealousy is always a bad colour on people my dear wormtail,” Remus said dramatically. James raised it eyebrows.
“I’m not jealous,” James said pointedly and then shrugged. “What would I be jealous of?”
Remus rolled his eyes.
“Sureeee.”
You took in the warm room while the boys asked for hot chocolates for all of you. Sweet smell of banana bread and muffins eloped the kitchen. Remus called for you, handing you a steaming mug of cocoa. You sat down beside James tuning in to their conversation. He gave you a small smile as Remus and Peter quarrelled about their divination predictions. You laughed and you talked, feeling the week’s tension slowly slip off your shoulders. When it was time to leave, you felt oddly content. Making them promise to make this a monthly thing, you finally turned to leave. James held you back.
“I was wondering, if you’d like to have a bit more fun?” James asked, biting his lip. “Just us two.”
You looked at him curiously and licked your lip.
“And what will this fun, entail?”
“There’s this small place near the edge of forbidden forest,” he said and you raised an eyebrow. “I swear it’s not that dangerous. It’s honestly beautiful.”
James didn’t know why he was so bent over to spend some more time with you. All he knew was that he didn’t want the evening to end. He didn’t want to leave you just yet. So when you nodded slowly, he couldn’t stop the grin that spread on his face.
The two of you tip-toed through the castle, James’s invisibility cloak with him just in case. Checking the map, he turned towards you. Taking your hand in his; he whispered, “Run.”
Your eyes widened. James sprinted forward, taking you with him. There was no time to think. Trying to keep up with him— you made your way through the grounds, the air icy against your face. You were huffing by the time you reached the lip of the forest.
“What exactly were we running from?” you asked, taking in gulps of air.
“No one— we were taking too much time,” he said shrugging. “And adrenaline always feels good.”
He didn’t notice you glaring at him. You slapped his arm playfully.
“Hey—” he groaned, rubbing at the spot.
“Now that you’ve wounded me, shall we?”
You nodded, biting the inside of your cheek. Placing his palms on your shoulder James turned you, leading you towards a small clearing. Your arms erupted in goosebumps, feeling him right behind you. His breath tickled your neck. Did he really not know the effect he had on you? Reaching there, James gestured around dramatically. Fireflies buzzed around the area and the ground bloomed with wild flowers.
“Wow,” you gasped. James watched you, his face lighting up. Running your hands through the shrubs you looked up. Night sky was always clear at Hogwarts. But somehow it seemed even more beautiful then. You glanced towards James catching him staring.
“See something you like?”
“You look beautiful,” James uttered before he could stop himself. Your cheeks heated up.
You did. You looked gorgeous every single day. James swallowed, a distinct blush covering his cheeks. He felt your gaze on him, waiting for him to say something. He heard you sigh after a little while.
“You know, when I was small, I used to collect fireflies in a jar,” you said, sitting down slowly. James joined you. “Pretty little things they were. I would stare at them for hours. Mum hated them. Dad didn’t seem to mind. They would zoom around in the jar and I would take it in hand running through the house saying they were my army. Danger shall befall those who cross me— I used to say”
James let out a laugh, sighing as you both watched the stars. Sneaking a glance at him, you caught him doing the same. Light from flies lighted up his face, his brown eyes sparkling. You didn’t know who leaned in. His lips were soft against yours as you let your hands tangle in his hair. His arms went to your waist, tugging you towards him. The kiss seemed to light you up. Pulling back breathless you stared at him, seeing something that made your stomach. Guilt. You dug your nails into your palm, waiting for the excuses to come. And it came. He called out your name.
“Don’t.” You snapped.
Scrambling to your feet, you started moving back towards the castle. James followed you.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think. I don’t know what happened and I—”
You twisted towards him.
“I’m not angry at you James,” you said, your voice barely above a whisper. James frowned. “I— I just like you, okay? I’ve liked you for quite some time.”
James’ eyes widened a little. You let out a laugh, looking away.
“I’m not angry at you. I’m angry at myself. Do you realise how pathetic it is, to love someone knowing they’ll never love you back?  Every day I’ll tell myself; it doesn’t matter. That it’s a crush and it’ll go away. And every day I fall a little more in love with you knowing you’ll never feel the same.”
Silence fell around you and you wrapped your arms around yourself. You felt cold. James watched you, desperate to reach out. He wanted to stop you but he didn’t know how. All he could do was listen.
“I think, I think it’ll be better for me to stay away from you for a while,” you breathed, trying your best not to let the tears in your eyes fall.
You walked back to the castle leaving James alone. A tear fell down his face and he furiously wiped it off.
-♡♡♡-
The next few days seemed never-ending. Classes, homework and head-boy duties kept James busy. He practiced harder and longer on the field. But his mind wasn’t in it. It was full with the thoughts of you. He tried. He really tried to reach out to you somehow. To catch your eye during classes, give you a small smile, but you hardly even glanced at him. It hurt. More than he could ever care to admit. He had quite forgotten what it was like not to spend time together every single day. To not listen to you complain about your day, hear your laugh. He felt alone.
Bacon and eggs were laid out in front of him, but he couldn’t bring himself to eat. He toyed it around with his fork.
“Ahhh James! Just the person I was looking for,” Lily said with a bright smile as James looked towards her. “I was thinking maybe you could join me after lunch? We can review the prefect rounds’ details.”
James furrowed his eyebrows.
“Didn’t we do that last week?”
Lily’s expression fell, but she covered it up quickly.
“Yes we did, but I thought maybe we could go over them again?” she said expectantly.
“Uh- sure.” He said, moving his attention back to his plate. He pushed it away.
Sirius, Peter and Remus raised their eyebrows at him. James looked at them questioningly.
“Are you dead?” Remus asked.
“No?”
“Yeah I think he’s dead.” Sirius pipped in. James opened his mouth to retort but Sirius bet him to it.
“Look, I know finding out your friend is in love with you while you think you’re in love with someone else isn’t easy—”
“Especially when you’re actually in love with the said friend," Peter said, taking a bite of his toast. James opened his mouth.
“Especially then —but you gotta make up your mind. Go date Lily and find out how worthless it is and then go back to friend or go now and talk to her and tell her what you really feel about her.”
James blinked.
“I’m not in love with her,” he said slowly as they collectively groaned. He ignored them. “And how did you know that she told me she likes me?”
“It was obvious?” Sirius said as Remus rolled his eyes.
“You know what? Let him continue his idiocy for more. I want to see how long this can actually go on,” Remus said as others hummed in response, shrugging.
“What? You’re not even going to listen to me now?” James stated as his friends paid no attention.
“Not when you’re being a dumbass, no.”
James banged his head on the table. Remus continued to read his book while Sirius and Peter concentrated on their breakfast.
“What if, what if I said,” James began slowly. “That maybe I do love her. I do love her and I was the biggest fool in the world and screwed this up beyond repair?”
Remus stared at James, a small smile overcoming his features.
“You tell her exactly that.”
-♡♡♡-
You sighed turning the page. The story was captivating at first, but now— not so much. There was a knock at the window and you turned to see… James? Your heart thumped against your chest. He stood there, probably on his broomstick waiting for you to let him in. Pushing the covers aside, you got up and opened the small lock as James hopped in. Your chest clenched seeing him for the first time in weeks. You had missed him. His hair was disheveled and he fidgeted awkwardly, staring at you.
“James why are you here?” you asked softly. You wanted nothing more than to hug him. But you held back. You couldn’t do that to yourself, not anymore.
“I— um— I wanted to tell you something,” he said as you gestured at him to go on. There was silence.
“Well?”
James flushed, looking down.
“I— I had this whole speech prepared and now I forgot what I was supposed to say,” he said and you looked at him curiously. “I know it starts with me saying I might be the biggest dumbass at Hogwarts.”
“That I can agree on,” you pointed out, a small grin evident on your face. James cracked a smile hearing you tease him after weeks. Somehow, he never minded it when it was you. There was silence again, but this time it felt calmer.
“You see? I had a fascination with this red-headed girl,” he whispered. Your throat bobbed. He was here to talk about Lily? “This fiery girl who rejected me every time I asked her out. And my fascination just grew. So much that I couldn’t even notice myself falling for someone else. Someone who’d been an amazing friend.”
Your eyes snapped towards him and he gave you a light smile.
“I don’t love Lily. I don’t. And I hate myself for not realizing it. But even more than that I hate myself for turning you away. I’m sorry,” he said as you sniffed, letting his words soak in. He loved you, not Lily. You knew you must be looking like an idiot then, giddiness blooming through your body.
“Are you sure this isn’t the speech you prepared?” you said as James chuckled. He shook his head.
“My prepared speech was written by a great man and it did not end with an apology.”
“Oh? What did that great man end the speech with?” you said, joy evident on James’ face. He was enjoying this.
“Asking you out,” he said cheekily and you let out a snort.
“Well, that’s a let down,” you said, putting on a disappointed expression, noticing James furrowing his brows. “I was hoping the speech would end in some kisses; after all, don—"
You couldn’t finish the sentence as James pulled you closer by your waist and pressed his lips against yours. You sighed, tugging him closer by his neck. Pulling back, you rested your forehead against his taking deep breaths.
“I fucking love you,” James said, cradling your face and starting to press kisses all over. You giggled.
“I love you too. Tell that great man I’d like to go out with him this Hogsmeade weekend, will you?” you said as James let out a laugh.

Marinette Changes Schools: A funny little Lila salt prompt
So, there are a lot of ‘Marinette changes schools’ au’s and I love a whole bunch of them don't get me wrong. BUT the one thing I haven’t seen yet is Marinette changing schools not because of Lila or salt but simply because her parents are moving and they want her to attend a school close to home. So without further ado let me sell you on my little idea: 
Lila has been plotting weeks worth of plans and lies, she’s thought up some sob stories about being stalked, about near death experiences, about celebrities that are like her family. She has plans for Marinette all the ways she could make the girl look bad and all the ways she could force Adrien to see her. That all goes out the window one day when she gets to school and it's a sob fest. There is a clear air of dread and dismay, the blue skies she saw on the way to school replaced with heavy storm clouds. And when she gets to class it's worse. Marinette and Alya are hugging and crying, Adrien looks like he's been shot, Nino and Kim are demanding to know ‘why’ even Chloe looks upset, her blue eyes a little glassy. Lila quickly learns why, Marinette’s parents' business is doing GREAT so great in fact that they have decided to open a second location! The twist? They also decided to move INTO the new location and with it being on the other side of Paris and her parents fears for their daughters safety that means Marinette is moving to a new school!
Now Lila doesn’t even have to school her face into a practiced expression of shock. She genuinely is shocked here she’d been planning months in advance picturing the ways she would destroy her rivals life and steal her friends! And now just like that Marinette is MOVING? Of course Lila quickly decides this is a good thing! After all if Marinette is out of the picture ruling the school will be that much easier. Sure Chloe might be queen bee but with Marinette gone people will be looking to replace her! In walks Lila Rossi, a gorgeous upstart model with a heart of gold and connections coming out of her bangs! She’d rule the school and Adrien would fall for her, then Marinette would probably come crawling back desperate for her old friends only to learn she’d snatched them all up! It was brilliant! And with Marinette gone she could probably do it in record time! So Lila covers up her smirk and says she’s devastated to hear that the twin tailed girl would be leaving and begins plotting.
In the month that follows Lila leaves Marinette alone letting her have her friends for what would be for the last time. After all if everyone still loved the designer when she left they’d be all the more eager to replace her with a new and better version. Of course just because Lila is playing nice doesn’t mean she enjoys it. Alya is practically glued to the girl and ignores Lila even when she’s not trying to sabotage Marinette. Adrien is acting like his life is ending and all anyone will talk about is Marinette. When she checks social media it's all just pictures of ‘old-great times with Marinette’ or new photos and videos of helping the girl pack up and move into her new room, which Lila seethes about for a week when she sees the photos of the spacious luxurious room with a private bath. Apparently the Dupain-Cheng’s new bakery was in a pretty ritzy rich neighborhood. During school Marinette is mobbed by a constant stream of people begging her to stay and when they accept that not happening they all at least beg her to ‘come back and visit’ Marinette promises and Lila has to hide her snort. Fat chance of that actually happening. 
Finally the last day arrives and Lila has to hold back the urge to gag as everyone fills the nearby park giving Marinette gifts and heartfelt goodbyes. Adrien is the last one to offer his gift and Lila seethes as Marinette gingerly opens the box with a gasp and pulls out two brand new pink hair ribbons, and Adrien goes on to say that they’re made of imported silk! SILK, as if the little baker brat deserved silk! The whole exchange is cliche and romantic as Marinette removes her current hair ribbons to tie in the new ones and Adrien ties the old ones around his wrist like some idiot who doesn’t realize what a love struck longing look he's giving his ‘good friend’. But Lila just keeps reminding herself its just a bit longer and sure enough not long after the hideously gooey exchange between Adrien and Marinette is over the designer is leaving with more tears and farewells. FINALLY Lila thinks she can get back to what matters! Ruling her empire.
As it turns out ruling her empire is not what she thinks. For the first month after Marinette leaves all anyone will talk about is the photos she’s posted online. The first week its ALL about HER new school is a private well known academy with uniforms, and isn't Marinette cute in it? And look at her in her custom black kitty thigh highs? Lila wants to scream, but not as much as when she catches Adrien drooling over the photo of said thigh highs and twirling the old nasty hair ribbons around his wrist. The second week its all about the video tour of her new home and school that Marinette sent Alya. Lila glares the whole time as Alya puts the video on the projector at lunch so everyone can see the big new gorgeous bakery and the beautiful house on the second floor and her stupid big bedroom that should belong to someone like herself and not some bratty bakers daughter! By the third week Lila has had enough and fakes some nasty texts from Marinette hoping to speed up the process of helping her classmates move on to HERSELF. It backfires spectacularly with Alya going on the warpath to learn who would dare frame Marinette now that she’s gone. Lila is starting to realize that somehow Marinette has reached a higher level of popularity now that she’s gone. But she reminds herself it won't last forever that in ‘just a little bit longer’ everyone will forget the baker. Right?
A little bit longer. Never happens. Lila asks the girls to hang out that weekend with plans of winning them over with some juicy celeb story? Alya says they all already made plans to hope aboard the train to spend the whole weekend at Marinette’s new place! Lila tries to corner Adrien into a date after a photo shoot. He disappears and all she hears from the workers on set is that he's been looking up some new bakery on the other side of town. [Marinette is suddenly being visited by Chat Noir every other night but she figures she must have moved closer to where his civilian self lives if hes dropping by so much.] She tries to throw a party for the class? They can't. Marinette will be coming out to the park today! With her new school friends!
AH HA! Lila see’s opportunity and decides to tag along. After all if Marinette has new friends Lila can twist it! She’ll whisper about her replacing them all! Make them hate Marinette’s new friends! Fill them with jealousy till they hate Marinette! It's BRILLIANT! And, it fails in less than two minutes, with Alya learning about Aurore being a ballet dancer and the two girls bonding over their mutual love of DANCE?? How the heck was Lila supposed to know Alya had been a champion ballet dancer in her younger years! Then Nino is bonding with some kid named Allen or whatever about classical vs modern music and how to blend the two! And some kid named Claude is joking with Kim, Max, and Alix! And this is definitely not how things were supposed to go!
The worst part is Adrien, who is passive aggressively fighting for Marinette against Kagami AND Felix who are both all too eager to show how ‘close’ they’ve gotten to the baker's daughter while Adrien’s been across the city. Kagami is all to happy to show off that she ALSO bought Marinette some new silk hair ribbons [in a red shade that happens to match her fencing uniform] while Felix eagerly wisks Marinette away the moment Kagami and Adrien are distracted the two fencers find him openly flirting with an oblivious Marinette her hair down because ‘oh felix was nice enough to help me get some leaves out of my hair and said i should leave it like this!’ [while both Kagami and Adrien agree she looks beyond cute they know this means war.] Needless to say Lila didn’t realize that Marinette was that damn popular with men and woman.
The week after the meet up Lila is worn so thin she’s ready to snap. Not only did the class not get jealous but they actually became FRIENDS with all of Marinette’s new buddies and were planning many more meet ups including a paintball war over the baker girl that saturday. Adrien had taken to openly mumbling to himself about changing schools and how he ‘cant believe’ his own flesh and blood would so openly flirt with HIS very good friend! And what was with Kagami showing off how easily she can pick up and carry Marinette? And why did she invite Marinette to watch their next tournament! He needed to train, what if he lost?? In front of Marinette?! And then she thought he was too weak to keep her safe like all good friends are supposed to do! Clearly Kagami was trying to replace him as Marinette’s very good friend! Poor Nino who was sitting next to the boy had actually volunteered to switch with Lila but she came up with a lie to avoid it, she’d had enough of hearing about Marinette from Alya and Juleka and the rest of the girls, she didn’t also need to hear it from Adrien! 
It all comes to a head that Saturday during the paintball tournament when Lila now at her wits end her plans out the window her schemes barely thought out hopes to find something ANYTHING to ruin Marinette’s day and reputation and everything. But Lila just so happens to get completely pelted with paintballs everytime she so much as moves and then later gets ignored when trying to wow Marinette’s new friends, and then gets called out by Felix and Kagami snaps and finally she snaps and SCREAMS and runs off and not even a dark little butterfly comes to help her ruin the perfect day. As it turns out Hawkmoth was a little preoccupied with trying to save his business after all the computers and data involved in his precise scheduling were mysteriously corrupted suddenly freeing up his son's time and schedule so he could spend more with HIS very good friend and no one else's. Kagami and Felix apparently had the same idea as when he gets to her new house their already their doing their best to get on her parents good side.
Basically just give me some comedic, fluffy, Lila salty, Marinette changes school fics. Because I love them ok.

Why are you running?
(read on ao3)
Pairing: Hawks x gn!Reader
Rating: SFW
Warnings: bird traits/instincts
hawks/raptors have this instinct to chase and attack if you turn your back on them, so what if you accidentally trigger it 👀
----------------------------------------------------------------
The sun was dipping low on the horizon, sending amber rays of light between the tightly packed skyscrapers. You shield your eyes from the light as you step out of the convenience store, your groceries in hand. After you take a moment for your eyes to adjust, you note a small crowd gathering just up the sidewalk from you. And from the center of it sprouts a large pair of crimson wings.
It’s a dead giveaway, those wings were plastered everywhere across the city, on billboards, on buses. There’s no escaping Hawks’ image.
As you watch on, the man himself suddenly hovers above his adoring fans, stretching out his impressive wing span leisurely. Leaving you with a perfect view of his wind tossed hair kissed with dying sunlight and a lopsided smile on his lips.
It makes your heart clench as you look on with awe. He’s so effortlessly beautiful it hurts to look at him. It’s also incredibly intimidating. How can those fans just talk to him like it’s nothing. You couldn’t even imagine.
Your staring must have caught his attention as suddenly his gaze turns and locks onto yours. You feel your stomach lurch, frozen with embarrassment. Hawks has the audacity to offer you a softer smile, making your cheeks heat up instantly.
Your brain screams at you to leave now. Your shyness urging you flee the unexpected attention. So you sharply turn your back to the crowd, and the gorgeous Pro Hero, and hurriedly make your escape.
Without consciously knowing why, you take a final glance over your shoulder. Even with Hawks’ signature visor over is eyes, you can see his pupils dilate, nearly completely blown black before constricting to tiny pin pricks in a split second. His smile has fallen from his face, leaving behind a cold blankness. A shiver runs through you and a cold sweat breaks out under your collar.
Your brain unhelpfully supplies, “Haha, I’m in danger!” Adrenaline courses through your veins and you run. A full sprint down the sidewalk in panic. It’s a ridiculous response in hindsight, but you’ve never seen such an inhuman look on Hawks’ face.
You barely make it a few feet before you feel a gust of wind behind you and suddenly your vision is nothing but red. Massive wings envelope you entirely as powerful arms lock around your waist, almost bruising in their strength. You’re dragged to your knees as the body behind you curls over your spine. You feel the prickle of stubble against your neck and jaw, hot puffs of breath against your skin. You’re utterly trapped.
All logical thoughts are thrown out the window with your heart thundering against your ribs. You don’t dare move a muscle.
An indiscernible amount of time passes before you hear a huffed laugh next to your ear, making you shudder.
“Well, isn’t this embarrassing, damn. I’m really sorry about all this. Are you alright?” Hawks says in a tight voice as he slowly releases you from his grip.
You’re shaking as you awkwardly stumble to your feet, Hawks aiding with a gentle, gloved hand on your elbow. When you finally get the courage to glance at his face, your heart does a somersault in your chest. A light blush dusts the bridge of his nose and the apples of his cheeks. He has a hand behind his head sheepishly, using the other to steady you on your jelly-like legs.
“I haven’t done something like that since I was a teenager in training,” he admits, bashfulness coloring his voice.
“…and what was that exactly?” You finally find your voice, wincing inwardly at how shaken it sounds.
“Oh you know, like…bird stuff? Well, hawk stuff? Like predator instinct?” Hawks shifts from foot to foot, looking anywhere but you.
“Like...you thought I was prey?”
“No! No, it’s not like that. Well, I mean kind of. But not really? It’s hard to explain. You turned your back and I just…couldn’t help myself. I’m really sorry. Did I hurt you at all?” Seeing this level of uncomfortableness on Hawks was so jarring from how he normally carries himself in the public eye. It was like all of his confidence was parred away. 
“I’m okay, really. Just gave me a fright, that’s all.” You’re really trying your best to sound casual, adding a weak laugh to hopefully defuse the tension.
He humors you, offering a half-hearted smile as he stoops down to gather up your groceries that you didn’t notice had spilled across the sidewalk.
"Well, if you’re sure you’re okay, I should be off. A hero’s job never stops.”
And with that he’s gone, taking off into the sky. You stand there dumbly on the sidewalk in shock for a few beats.
You then hear murmuring, whispering, and the click of photos being captured. Horrified, you realize Hawks’ fans were watching everything and recorded every second of it. You curse under your breath as you start rushing home, ignoring the growing crowd behind you. If Hawks wasn’t going to eat you alive, the internet certainly was.
---
Get it together, Hawks. What the hell was that?
The winged hero cursed at himself with gritted teeth and a furrowed brow as he shot across the sky. He shouldn’t have done that. He was trained not to do that. The Commission pushed him hard to ignore the animalistic pull to hunt and another traits they deemed unsightly or dangerous. And he had gotten good at suppressing those instincts. He passed all of their tests and drills after years of intense training. He never had a slip up since starting his Pro career.
His mind was racing as he tried to pin point what made him react like that. Did he let his guard down? Got too comfortable in the moment?
He thought of the way you trembled in his arms, immobilized with fear. The thundering of your panicked heart and the quiver of your voice. A shiver crept down his spine, making his hair and feathers stand on end. He liked it. The thrill of it all lighting up parts of his brain long neglected. 
A frustrated growl escaped his lips, lost to the roar of the wind around him. He really shouldn’t be entertaining those thoughts, even for a moment. He felt gross. 
He dug his phone from his pocket, sending a text to his PR manager. The least he could do was give them a heads up. Though pictures and videos of the whole incident were probably already circulating. His PR team had their work cut out for them, it was a seriously bad look for the hero. 
Almost immediately after he sent the text his phone buzzed angrily with replies from his team and an incoming call from the Commission. His heart sank to the pit of his stomach. It was going to be a long night.
---
The days following were a nightmarish blur of embarrassment and anxiety. Your brief brush with Hawks was plastered across every social media platform. You couldn’t escape all of the memes and GIFs. You wanted nothing more than to blink from existence.
Most people thought the whole thing was funny, even wishing it was them tackled to the sidewalk by Hawks. Your coworkers teased you mercilessly, constantly asking if you at least got his number afterwards. 
There weren’t many, but a few comments filled you with anger. They were using this to fuel for their hatred towards those with heteromorphic quirks. They claimed that this proved they were dangerous, nothing more than animals. Which, of course, was ridiculous. 
But you did your best to keep your head down and ignore the notifications on your phone. You kept reassuring yourself that this would all blow over soon. And sure enough by the end of the week the internet was distracted by “leaked” selfies of Hawks in grey sweatpants, posing in front of a bathroom mirror.
---
Hawks had just started an early morning patrol as he glided and weaved through the streets. He’d been taking on extra hours lately, finding it easier to distract himself on the job rather than staring at his bedroom ceiling. Who needed sleep anyway. If he stopped, all he could think about was you. The fear on your face. Your frantic pulse against his skin. Guilt gnawed away at him. He didn’t want to scare you, what type of hero would he be if he did. 
Instead of dwelling on the thoughts eating at him, he focused on the streets below him. It was relatively quiet, only a scattering of people going about their lives. He swooped lower, maneuvering between lamp posts just for his own entertainment. He pulled up short abruptly, nearly smacking into one of them.
His heart lurched in his chest, recognizing you immediately as you made your way down the street. He had a little mental battle with himself. Half of him wanted to talk to you, just reassure himself that you were truly okay after all this madness. The other have was telling him to leave you alone, that he’d only made it worse.
After hovering awkwardly for a few moments he made his decision. He made a show of circling ahead of you before landing, trying not to startle you. 
---
Having Hawks appear in front of you was the very last thing you expected on your walk to work. You had convinced yourself that you’d never see him again and that, even if your paths crossed, he wouldn’t want to be seen with you.
Yet here he was, with a charming smile on his face and feathers gleaming in the sun. 
You approach him cautiously, pulling out your earbuds. “Um, hi?” you start apprehensively, not sure what the hero could possibly want from you.
As you catch up to him he starts walking beside you, joining you on your commute. His wing stretches out behind you and curls around your side. Smart, you think. Even if the two of you catch someone’s eye, you were largely blocked from view.
It’s comfortably warm beneath his wing, with your shoulders brushing against each other as you walk. Your heart speeds up a little, being this close to him is a little overwhelming. Especially with the memory of him being pressed over you still fresh in your mind.
“So, I wanted to start over, if that’s alright with you. I don’t think I gave you the best first impression,” Hawks explains, his eyes fixed ahead.
“Definitely a memorable one,” you quip lightheartedly. You were more mortified by all of the unwanted attention. You knew deep down you were never in any real danger. 
Hawks snorts, making you glance at him. You watch him roll his eyes. “Not my best moment. I’m really sorry I scared you so badly. I swear I’m not going to hurt you, or anyone.”
It makes you pause as you stare at the side of his face. “I know you wouldn’t. And you didn’t even leave a mark. We can just say it was a...weird, unexpected hug. Leave it at that.”
Hawks’ gaze catches yours for a brief moment before looking away quickly, a serious look sliding onto his features. “You know that’s not what it was.”
“I know but...I’m not going to judge you for your bird stuff, or whatever it is. You’re still human. Even with the wings. We all have weird, awkward tendencies. I’m a mess of them too, and I don’t even have a Quirk. You’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.
“So don’t beat yourself up too much,” you say, gaining a bit of confidence the more you speak. “You’re not a monster.”
Silence stretches between the two of you, both lost in thought. You surprise yourself when you are the first to break it. 
“Besides, I thought we were starting over. I’m y/n,” you begin, nudging his shoulder with your own as you offer him a warm smile.
“I’m Hawks, but you already knew that. Say, why don’t I treat you to some coffee. There’s this great little cafe not far from here. They have these pastries that are to die for. Trust me, you’ll love it!” The hero chatters away, with you still safely tucked away under his wing.

Massage me down there
Tumblr media
 husband!yandere!bakugou x reader
 When your husband gets upset at the lack of attention you were giving him, you make it up to him by giving him the best massage of his life. 
wordcount- 5 k 
warnings : sub baku, slightly yandere tendencies, yandere baku ( its all fluffy af tho), nsfw, blowjob, eating out, sex. 
for mature viewers only. 
first smut so pls be gentle. tumblr was such a bitch and wouldn't let me post this but here we are. 
…...…......………...…...….
Bakugou walked in, his muscles and arms aching from a long day of hero work. He twisted the key and turned the doorknob, opening the door to be assaulted by the familiar warm scent of home.
You used some air fresheners that made sure the house always smelt welcoming pleasant. He wasn’t sure what scent, but he knows the smell well enough.
He took his shoes off, irked that you didn’t come to welcome him like you usually would.  His bad mood seeped out into his face, translating into a well known scowl on his handsome features. 
A tick appeared on his forehead when he heard the tv.
‘What the fuck, or who the fuck, had your attention?’
He took his shoes off and changed out of his hero suit, putting his gauntlets aside and somewhere safe. He doesn’t want those near you.
He showered quickly and wore some shorts, leaving his hair to air dry opting to go shirtless, leaving his toned and muscled packs out on display. He was still warm from his shower, and his flushed and damp appearance was sure to re-catch your attention.
He left the shared room and walked into the leaving room, nearly steaming again when he wasn’t acknowledged and looking into the TV, expecting something equally infuriating, but only finding some furry movie. He tsk, although relieved it wasn’t some pesky actor stealing your attention.
He took in your appearance, finding that you looked gorgeous in some oversized shirt of his and some baggy, grey shorts, which left most of your legs teasingly out. He would have jumped you, but quickly remembered why he couldn’t to begin with.
You looked so sweet sitting there in some oversized shirt watching a cartoon movie tho-
No. He was mad at you.
He flopped down on the couch, folding his arms across his chest and glaring at you grumpily. You jumped up in surprise the moment the couch dipped, looking next to you frantically only to see your husband sitting at the opposite end of the couch.
Your face brightened into a happy smile, quickly sliding to him and enveloping his steam warm body in a hug. You slid on his lap, trying to kiss him on the lips, which failed when he turned his head, ending up as a mere peck.
You frowned at that, but it hurt Katsuki more than it hurt you. His heart felt heavy, having to reject one of your kisses, but it was for the better good.
You put your head on his chest, appreciatiating the firm and sculpted feel of it.
“Why didn’t you tell me you got home ? I didn’t hear you at all !” You exclaimed with a frown. Sad at missing your opportunity of kissing him at the door like your ritual usually went. Is that why he seemed to be in a mood ?
Bakugo scoffed, resisting the urge to put his hands on you.” You would’ve if you weren’t so distracted with some-some furry movie !” He yelled way to loudly, but you knew he wasn’t really angry, at least not mad angry. He’s just sulking. You didn’t know, but when you didn’t even acknowledge him slightly while he got home and showered some spark of possessiveness went off. The familiar feeling of being threatened wasn’t that far after all.
But the sound of the main character interacting with the fox made your ears perk. Since Katsuki is upset right now, he can wait a bit more.
You easily escaped his grasp since Bakugo opted to not touch you.
You settled near him, not as far, but not as close as before. Bakugo felt your warmth leave, and it felt like the heat from his very own body was sapped.
His grumpy pout turned to a sad, dejected one, and his eyes slowly lost his hardness as he looked at your distracted form beside him.
Anger slowly started brewing inside him again, tears springing to the corner of his eyes due to the overwhelming rage brewing in his chest.
‘How dare you ignore him like this ? Especially when he was upset at you. If you were upset at him Bakugo would coddle you until you relented. Fine, ignore him.’
Your attention snapped when you felt Katsuki get up from the couch, watching his figure stomp away to the room. You cringed when you heard the door bang.
You saw the movie had a few minutes left, and debated whether you should go to Katsuki or finish it first. This might take a while, so movie first it is.
Right as the movie was about to finish, you heated up some oils, having thought of the perfect bribery plan. Bakugou hates it when you don’t pay attention to him or dismiss him, and you wouldn’t have, but the movie was so engaging and you wanted to watch it for a long time !
You quickly put the oils in a tray and carried it back to your room. You balanced the tray in one hand while your other turned the doorknob, walking inside the bedroom to find Katsuki laying on his side on the bed on his belly.
You walked to him, putting the oils on the running heater one by one to make sure they remain warm to ensure Katsuki can enjoy this as much as possible.
Katsuki looked up slowly, not wanting to show his interest in what you brought with you, but intrigue got the best of him when he smelt natural scents near him. He quickly turned his face away when he saw you walk to him. You crouched down besides him, making him smell your perfume, and want to look at your adorable face, grab -
“Suki, you’re mad at me right ?” You asked softly, trying to set the mood while your hand tangled in his untamable spikes.
Katsuki wanted to shout, to push your hand away and melt in his own pettiness, but he couldn’t help the tiny rush of ecstasy as your small hand slowly caressed his roots, the true euphoria being that you came to make up with him. You must love him after all then ?
“Tsk, go back to your shitty movie.” He grumbled, his lips set in a pout as he lifted his face to glare at you.
You tried kissing him before he turned around again, but he predicted her actions and turned around before the kiss reached it’s destination. He quickly regretted his decision becasue after you ended up kissing his cheek again, he really craved to have your luscious lips make contact with his…
He must stay strong. He already saw the oils, and had a half mind to reject your offer, but he was scared you really will take his word for it.
“What’s with the oils ?” He questioned gruffly, slightly muffled by the pillows.
You beamed, ripping the blanket off his body, which he seemed to cocoon himself in, and made yourself comfortable beside him.
“I’m giving you a full body massage, head to toe ! My hero must be sore from working hard all day.” You said adoringly, despite Bakugo thinking he’s the coddler in the relationship, you loved doting on him too, and bought all of this to use on him.
Katsuki was going to make some snarky remark, but your soothing hands on his scalp made him clamp shut. Your rhythmic motions and soft touches made Bakugou sigh, her fingers playing with his hair gently with the room dimly lit made him relax and his heart beat slowed as his eyelids drooped in lethargy. Your fingers didn’t leave one root on his head untouched. You grinned in victory seeing your adorable husband about to fall asleep and you barely even started.
The true comfort to Katsuki came in knowing that Bakugou had your full attention. But his half lidded eyes sprung open when he felt your hands leave his spiky blond hair. He was about to grab your hand to pull you back to him when he noticed you walk towards the oils, grabbing them and placing them on the lamp stand besides the bed so you can easily reach them without moving.
You settled yourself back on the bed, this time on Katsuki’s toned and perky ass.
Bakugo blushed, never too used to you being like this with him despite you guys being married and all that, it still feels as if you guys never even held hands before. At least to him. 
You reached out, grabbing one of the oils and pouring a generous amount on your palms, then rubbing them together. You put your hands on his shoulders and started to gently work on the knots, and Katsuki swears heaven is in your hands. He feels the heavy weight that every hero carries slowly melt away, the tenseness slowly dissipating as your hands continued massaging with the aid of the oil.
“How does it feel ?” You asked in a low, whispering voice. Katsuki could’ve missed it had it not being your voice.
He grunted, and you took it as a good enough response to keep working as you had been. Katsuki was so relaxed, he was becoming sleepy with the aid of the ambient light of the lamp, and your soothing touches stimulating his tactile senses. The only comforting touch he felt all day.
You felt that his shoulders were mellow enough, deciding to move on to his back. You grabbed another oil and spread a more generous amount this time, rubbing it between your palms. The warmth must’ve been really pleasant on his exhausted body, because his breath hitched not a second after your hands made contact with his back. You’re honestly a novice at this, having watched a few seconds of a massage video then gave up a few seconds in, but you guessed you were doing something right if the hitches of his breath were any proof.
You continued kneading at his back, admiring the scrumptious view of his muscular back beneath your fingers. Katsuki was lucky his face was not in your direction, or you would have seen the redness of his cheeks and ears, and the suggestive nature of his open mouth, which let out inaudible sounds every time you worked out a knot. His eyes were lidded, brighter than usual that the volcanic red of his eyes looked like harmless cherries.
Embarrassingly though, every knead you made caused his body to experience a sort of relaxed pleasure, the feel of your soft hands gently caressing his skin is bringing back memories……
He would never allow anyone else but you to touch him like this, just like he wouldn’t allow you to touch anyone else like that, or touch period. Just the thought made his brows furrow in annoyance until a moan came out when you touched a particularly sore spot. You paused for a second, having not expected that reaction. You went back to the same spot and got rewarded when his breath hitched.
Eventually, his back went like it was made anew, and you probably shared the sentiment because you whispered in his ear to turn around, afraid of disturbing him as he remained silent for so long. He could have fallen asleep, and he might’ve, your relaxing touch and dim lights where really helping.
However, he wanted more of this, so he pushed the drowsiness away and turned around for you. He thought you would wrap it up after doing his back, shoulders, and even his head, but was pleasantly surprised. That’s his darling, always going the extra mile for him. Little things like that remind him exactly why he adores you.
To be fair, he stopped being mad five minutes into the massage, if, however, it still gets you to dot on him then he will keep his mouth shut, but he still appreciates that you are doing this for him, considering how much carrying gauntlets and heroing all day tires him.
After choosing the oil, Bakugou half thought that you were going to resume your previous seating place, this time on his crotch. He was pleasantly surprised to be right. Katsuki blushed and turned around, huffing, knowing you can feel his semi erection. By the smirk you shot him, you were very aware.
Katsuki held his breath in, knowing the slightest movement of your hips will cause him to let out a titillating sound.
“Where do you think you’re sitting dumbass ?” He groaned out. You quirked an eyebrow, smirking downright sinfully.
“Your body doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.” You observed.
Halfway into worshipping the firm dips of his pectorals, you paused your ministrations, drawing the- once again- attention of a drowsy Katsuki.
You fanned yourself, and much to your husbands chagrin, took the oversized shirt off. Leaving you in your pretty, black  bralette which emphasized your bust. Katsuki gulped.
After catching Katsuki’s wondering eyes, you shot him a flirty smile. Your hands resumed their ministrations, but slowly traveled up to Katsuki’s chest, kneading at first, but then seized all movements, only to start softly caressing his milky neck.
You slowly lowered you upper body, making contact with Katsuki’s oiled front. He couldn’t keep his wondering eyes from admiring the exposed cleavage teasing his vision. You caught his stare, and leisurely unhooked it, sliding the straps off, one, and then the other, shrugging it off completely, making your soft tits touch his stomach. His hands itched to grab them, but your own left his neck and held his hands in place over his head. You moved until your mouth was near his ears, the movement reminded Bakugo of the slithering of a graceful and dangerous viper.
“Did you enjoy that baby ?” You whispered, voice no louder or lower than the one you used throughout the whole session, but somehow, with your soft chest touching his, hands holding his own in place and voice whispering in his ear, Katsuki’s blood rushed south.
He swallowed, having a theory that the blood in his brain must have gone down, because he felt way dumber than usual.
He nodded his head.
“Are you still mad at me honey ?” Whispered your honeyed voice.
“No.” Replied Katsuki, taking his upper lip between his teeth in frustration at the affect you have on him.
His cheeks flushed even more when you started nibbling at his earlobe, the sound way too close to his hearing range for comfort.
He really resembled that love sick look.
“Will you let me kiss you now Suki ?” You asked your final question, hands leaving his, granting him leeway to explore and move them as he pleases while your hands found their way back to his hair. Katsuki answered your question by pulling you closer and softly kissing your lips, his desires having finally been answered. He kept the kiss from getting aggressive, not wanting to destroy the mood, but the tantalising kiss was quickly becoming not enough. He desired all of you, he wanted your thoughts to be wholeheartedly consumed by him. His beefy hand tangled itself in your hair, biting your bottom lip and sucking it in order to deepen your kiss, but you had other ideas.
“Suki, can you put your tongue out for me ?” You asked innocently, Katsuki hesitated for a moment, confused as you’d never made a request like that before. He slowly stuck his pink muscle out.
You wasted no time, gently sucking it, grazing it with your teeth to add a bit of stimulation.
You didn’t prolong his pleasure however.
“I still have to finish your massage, sweetie. Lay back down and relax.” You whispered in a doting tone, gently pushing his chest flat into the bed. Katsuki widened his eyes, unable to believe you’d do that to him.
You’re really going to do this to him ? While you were shirtless too ?
His cock pulsated painfully, his hardness left untouched. You moved on to his arms, paying special attention to his aching wrists. This would have the epitome of comfort had he not had an erection, with you shirtless, nipples out and daring him to pinch, your hands softly oiling his body and rejuvinating him. He thanks his overwhelming self control, overwhelming though it may be, the impenetrable iron clad self control crumples and mellows like marshmallow around you.
To his dismay, yet utter relief, you took your time, knowing his hands are crucial for his quirk. After finishing up with his arm, you took his hand, his large, beefy one dwarfing your own. Jesus, even his fingers were thick.
You brought his hand closer to your mouth, and Katsuki thought you were going to take a finger in your mouth. Instead, you gave the webbed area at the base of his finger a tentative lick. Knowing this is the most sensitive part of his calloused hand. His erection strained against his shorts with renewed vigour. He bit his lip in order to follow your command and stay laid back, but God knows he wanted to push you back and ram into you. He felt more than saw when your naughty tongue stopped licking that area and traveled up to suck the tip of his finger. You licked it slowly, then took it in your mouth, sucking on it like you would something else.
Katsuki squeezed his thighs together desperately, unable to handle not getting friction. His other hand went palm his hard on, but you slapped that hand when it twitched to move, knowing you won’t like its destination. You bit his finger in a silent warning. Katsuki knew he couldn’t disobey a request of yours, no matter how hard or simple, so he fisted his hand to maintain his sanity while you deepthroated his finger. Braless.
You took his finger out of your mouth. It was slicken and glistening. Katsuki’s boxers were dampened.
Katsuki starred in utter horror as you moved on to the other arm, and nearly growled in frustration.
He couldn’t handle it anymore.
“Stop teasing me !” He shouted, the loudest noise that had been made since you entered the room.
You looked at him, mock obliviousness on your face.
You begun to massage the new arm, giving him an inquisitive look.
“Teasing you ? What are you talking about Suki ? I’m just trying to make you feel good.” You justified.
“Baka, massage me where I really want to be massaged.” He demanded. You put a finger on his lip. “Suki, don’t talk that loudly, you’ll destroy the mood. And tell me where you want me to massage honey, use your words. This is all about you remember?” You guessed it’s been enough teasing. Halfway through, you noticed the impending arousal Katsuki was experiencing, and decided this could take a turn in the other direction. He looked at you in hope, but clamped his mouth shut when he realized he’d have to ask you it.
“You know… baka.” He answered childishly, looking away.
“Of course, your arms really hurt don't they ? No worries.” You whispered, already grabbing the oils before Katsuki’s frustrated voice rung out.
“Please no, touch me… down there. Right now. You knew there would be consequences to touching me like that and looking like this” He finally relented. You o’d, nodding and caressing his hair, silently proud at him for saying what he really wanted. You relishes in the embarrassment blooming on his face, an adorable cherry red.
“Haha, you should have just said so from the start.” You scolded.
“I’ll start by massaging your legs then.”
Katsuki nearly growled in frustration. You weren’t going to do this to him right. You read that look on his face.
“Is that not what you want ? You said down there.”
He sucked in a breath. He gripped the sheets beneath his hand so tightly, his knuckles tirned white.
“Fine ! You want me to say it, I will. Massage…my cock. Spread oils all over it and touch it with your pretty hands and suck it like you did to my finger.” He retold all his fantasies, baring his soul out into the open. He craves you all the time, you just made his craving so much worse. Depriving him of your attention, then suddenly giving him an abundance of it but not giving him what he truly wants .
His heart fell when he saw the troubled look on your face. “Suki, you have to be patient. Then I promise you’ll get what you want.” Although you put up a front, you were aching for him, your underwear was damp no doubt.
You stood up, ignoring the frustrated look on his face. he is going to be patient  because you knew he wouldn’t ignore something you said. He never does, especially when he’s in this headspace. You took the blanket off his lower body. You slowly pulled his shorts off, amused by the wet patch you saw. Now his perky ass was clad in only some black boxer. You could see the straining erection, his underwear struggling to contain it, already dampened with the evidence of his arousal.
You debated for only a second.
You grabbed the waistband, Katsuki understanding the hint and lifting himself up slightly so you could take the material off. His enormous cock sprung out, the head an angry purple colour from the lack of attention. It was thick and girthy, and the length was nothing to laugh about either. It was a bit like Katsuki to be honest. Muscular and enormous. You loved how his masculine and sculpted figure fit in yours. It felt like he could protect you from the world.
You grabbed an oil, rubbing it in your palms before you began rubbing it on his thighs. Not before pressing a soft kiss on them and taking an adorable little bite. You massaged them both, careful not to touch where Katsuki desperately wanted you to touch. “Be patient Katsuki” you reminded him as you continued kneading his sculpted cream coloured thighs. Sometimes you’d get dangerously close to his centre, but not quite enough that Katsuki could experience the blessing of your touch. Enough was enough, however.
Katsuki breathed a sigh of relief when you stopped.
Katsuki’s body felt renewed, all his knots having been achingly soothed, his body smelt of fresh herbs and oils that left him smelling amazing, but the only oil he really craved was out of his reach at the moment. Not for long though.
You stood up from the bed and headed to one of your cupboards, already knowing none of those oils were tailored for that kind of use.
You went through the impressive amounts of flavoured lubes, then deciding on a water based watermelon one. Choosing was a struggle, knowing that your husband only bought you the best of the best.
You returned to an unmoved Katsuki, waving the lube at him in a goofy way. Shit, you were perfect, Katsuki will kill anyone that says you like this. Goods jiggling freely and showing the lube you were going to taste while sucking his cock.
You sat on the bed, spreading his legs to allow you to comfortably settle between them.
Fuck yes. Yes. Yes . “Yes”.
You took your own shorts off, leaving you in a delicious orange thong that did nothing to cover your delectable ass. The only thing keeping you from becoming fully naked.
You applied the lube on your hands, careful from putting too much.
Katsuki groaned audibly when your hands touched his cock, rubbing the tip, which was a painful purple colour, and then dipping your hands down. You pumped him, making sure not to go too fast, and applying special attention to all his sensitive spots. You squeezed his balls gently, then licked his tip, using the soft lower part of your tongue to stimulate him, then suddenly switching to the rougher part.
“Ah- ah- baby, where did you - you learn to do that ?!” Katsuki knew he wasn’t going to last long with your body out on display to him, and your mouth softly teasing him. You opened your mouth, taking him in one inch at a time. You hollow your cheeks, hearing a broken moan from Katsuki, followed by a groan as you bobbed your head up and down. You kept using your tongue and hands, not leaving any part of him untouched.
Katsuki felt like he was in heaven. Your naughty tongue did wonders on all his sensitive spots, humming every now and then, you must have liked the taste. You bobbed your head faster, Katsuki had to contain himself from face fucking you without care. Drool dripped down your chin and your hair was a mess, fuck, you were absolutely gorgeous.
The final push was seeing one of your hands leave his cock make its way to your underwear, sliding the pesky things down slowly, giving Katsuki a show. You were absolutely drenched.
You moaned around his length as you started to work on your clit. Then your fingers slipped inside you seamlessly,making erotic squelching sounds that he knows all too well and next thing Katsuki was crying out.
“Fuck, princess- I’m coming- ah, coming.” You bobbed your head with new found vigour, sucking and squeezing even when you felt his warm cream gush into your mouth.
“Teddy bear —“ he groaned, stopping mid sentence to let out the loudest moan moan you ever heard, with flushed cheeks, mouth ajar and watery cherry eyes. Henever took his eyes off you, drinking in the sight of you enthusiastically drinking his cum, not wanting to waste a single drop. You kept going, even when your eyes watered and your throat burned. You put both hands on his thighs to steady yourself, keeping your working mouth on his cock as you drank and drank. After it seemed like that was all, you took your mouth off and started giving licks all over his painfully sensitive cock, cleaning it of any remains. He tried complaining but you didn’t stop until the last drop was licked.
“How was that massage baby ?”
Katsuki was too busy catching breath to answer, but maybe that was all the answer you needed.
He wants to please you now, to satisfy you like you satisfied him.
One look at your naked body had his now flaccid cock springing back to life.
“I loved it babe, but now it’s your turn, c’mere.” He sprung up, grasping your legs and spreading them apart. He saw your thong between your knees, slipping it out slowly while laughing.
“Why wear this ? You might as well have been wearing nothing.” He mused, looking at the tiny orange thong.
“I wanted to seduce you, Suki.”
That made him ‘ah’, as he nodded amusedly. He threw it somewhere in the room, immensely glad that you wore it for him, for him, only him.
His tongue grazed your slit, not entering you. He wrapped his mouth around your clit and sucked. You fisted the sheets as the breath got knocked out of you. He ate you out vigorously,not giving you a moment to breath. His fingers rubbed your slit, teasing you while his mouth devoured you. Suddenly, his mouth traveled down to your slit, and his fingers went to rub your clit. He lapped up at the wetness, loving the taste of you. His hand left you to grab your leg and put it over his muscled shoulder for better access.
He met your eyes, giving you an arrogant smirk as his tongue teased you relentlessly, traveling up and down, circling your clit, but never quite wrapping around it and sucking like before.
“Suki, please, make me feel good.” You begged with tears in your eyes. Even though Katsuki wanted to tease you more, he couldn’t.
In no time, your thighs were shaking as the knot in your belly was threatening to burst.
“Stop” that one sentence had Katsuki detaching from your clit, looking troubled. A familiar insecure look.
Did he fail to make you feel good ? What did he do wrong ?
“What ?” He asked, wiping your love juices off his chin.
“I want to do it together this time Suki. It was too good, I couldn’t have lasted anymore if I didn’t stop you when I did.” You reassured him, watching the insecure look on his face vanish. Before, when you and Katsuki were merely dating, you were surprised by the way he behaved around you, but now, you were used to it- dare you say, you loved the way he values your words and attention. He made you feel like a queen, even though others would claim that time of love is overwhelming and suffocating.
He cradled you gently, kissing your head. What an adorable request, well, he couldn’t disappoint you now could he ?
He laid your head on the pillow, putting both of your legs over his shoulders letting you give his semi hardened length a few pumps. You were both lubed and ready enough, but Katsuki still took his time in entering you, not wanting to hurt you, he knew he wasn’t small by any means, not even close.
He loved positions like this, where he could look at your face and see how you were feeling. He was fully in you, and he could see that it wasn’t the most comfortable thing for you, so his thrusts were gentle at first. Soon, after he heard you become breathless and clenching around him, he started to become rougher, slamming into your G-spot.
You were so warm, and tight….
He pistoned into your welcoming honeypot. “Does it -ah—feel good ?” He asked, slowing down slightly so you could answer him.
“Yes Suki, don’t slow down ! Please rub my clit” you said guiding his hand where you wanted it and he obliged. He kept thrusting at his usual fast pace, your tits vibrate with every thrust, prompting him to finally pinch one. He rubbed your clit too, feeling you clench around him.
This is where he wanted to be all day, connected with his darling, making the both of you feel good.
He angled his thrusts to hit your G-spot, making your pleasure overwhelming, which naturally translated to his. His muscles contorted as he gave one final, powerful thrust, coming undone inside your warm centre. He kept stimulating you, and it didn’t take you long to join him in bless, milking him as you let out a sinful moan, pulling him closer to you, seeking his warmth amids being in the clouds. He kept riding you through your orgasm, eventually his thrusts becoming nothing more than shallow.
He felt satisfied beyond measure, slowly taking his cock out and seeing his semen leak. Be bent down, kissing you gently on the lips. “Did it feel good?” He asked, wanting reassurance that he did well. He did this every time despite it being more than obvious he did amazing.
“Amazing, did you like your massage though?” You questioned, making him scoff at your idiotic question.
“Damn right, best massage ever.”
He then cleaned you up, then with your bare bodies cuddling, you fell in deep sleep.
“I love you.” He whispered to your snoozing head on his naked chest.
“More than anything.”

Madeira.  ( Taehyung x OC) Part 1/2
Genre : Angst, Sexually Explicit Content. 
Kim Taehyung x OC 
 Cop Au! 
Married Taehyung x Oc! ( Estranged ) 
Cop Taehyung! Bartender Oc ! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
A/N : This is my spin on the brother’s best friend trope. I wrote this for @ladyartemesia​ Who made the amazing banner for the fic..
Because of one of her posts :D :D But I hope all of you enjoy it. 
Also listen , i was supposed to write a simple brother’s best friend fic , maybe playful fluff and mild angst and some smut but  this thing snowballed into a plot monster and now here we are. 
This is part 1. 
Part 2 soon :) 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“So... that husband of yours is still missing, huh?" The man leaning against the bar smelled like sewage. 
There really was no other word for it. 
He smelled like he’d been drenched in the water that usually ran down the streets, whenever the heavens opened and poured a fucking deluge on us. Like he’d taken a soak in the disgusting broth of decaying produce, discarded animal entrails and everyday garbage. You know, the kind of stuff you find in the market street of a small town.
I ignored him, exhaling sharply and dragging the rag across the counter again, this time with a little more force behind it to make up for the urge to wrap my hands around the fucker’s neck. 
Not the man leaning on the bar that is.  
The man who had abandoned me. 
Kim fucking Taehyung. 
My breath shuddered out of me ,  a headache blooming inside my skull at the very thought of him. it was kind of unwarranted, I guess because it really wasn’t perfect Kim Taehyung’s fault that his wife of five years and seven months hadn’t seen him in ...well, five years and six months. 
Fuck. 
But see he wasn’t missing from my life by design. 
He certainly hadn’t intended to leave me alone because , well for one, he loved me. and two, his best friend aka my big brother Park Jimin would skin him alive if he tried something like that. 
They were best friends, bosom buddies since kinder garten and the only time they’d ever fought was when Jimin had walked in on me choking on Kim Taehyung’s dick in our coat closet at the age of seventeen ( 19 in Taehyung’s case) . 
Taehyung had sported a black eye for two whole weeks. 
So you see, Taehyung wouldn’t just leave me without reason, not unless he wanted to be castrated by my brother. 
No. 
The reason Kim Taehyung wasn’t around was because he had taken up an assignment, an undercover assignment a month after our wedding. 
An assignment that was supposed to last two months. Except it hadn’t and now, it had been a whole five and a half years since I’d seen the man I loved. 
Kim fucking Taehyung. 
See, Taehyung was a detective. 
A brilliant, A- class detective in Seoul PD’s Narcotics Division and he had a reputation. 
 A reputation as one of the most ruthless, merciless men on the force. 
Taehyung had a mind that worked like no other, somehow able to predict exactly how drug dealers moved, how the shipments were going to be smuggled. He could tell where the deal was going to go down, what kind of security measures they would be up against and the most intriguing of all :  just what drug a person had taken, simply from staring into their damn eyes .
 It wasn’t uncommon for his cop buddies to comment how lucky the country was, that Kim Taehyung had chosen to be on this side of the law . 
So Kim Taehyung’s reputation as a brilliant detective was well earned and that was why,  when people heard his reputation and  then  met him, they were always stunned. 
Because, for someone with such a terrifying aura , Taehyung looked deceptively.....well ethereal was the word. Beautiful was another. So fucking gorgeous  he could make angels cry. 
Tumblr media
But Taehyung didn’t just look like a fucking angel. He acted like one. He acted like he had been sent on earth, simply to fight every bad guy in the city and while I had been proud and amazed and suitably enthralled with his prowess in the beginning, the fact that he had chosen to just leave me , really fucking hurt. 
It hurt that the boy i had grown up with , the boy who had been my first everything hadn’t thought twice about leaving me behind. About leaving everything we had spent a whole decade building , behind just because he couldn’t control the urge to save the fucking world.
Every damn time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The water in my parents’ home was often murky and I had to let it run for a few minutes, before sticking the bucket underneath the tap. I watched the water turn clearer, cupping my palms underneath the flow watching it run clear. I nudged the bucket with my foot , under the tap and the sound of the water hitting the cheap plastic filled the cramped bathroom, loud and jarring. 
I leaned against the chipped blue tiles, fingers shaking as I clenched them into fists. I had moved year about nine months after Taehyung had left, when it became clear that he wasn’t going to be coming back anytime soon and it became hard, paying the rent for our modest apartment in Itaewon. 
Jimin had offered to help, offered to let me move in with him and his wife Irene,  but he had been newly married as well, with a baby on the way. And i just couldn’t do that to him. I’d called my parents, explained that Taehyung and I were taking a break and could I move in for a while?
My parents had been stunned. 
A break after ten months of marriage? what had happened? 
I’d kept my mouth shut because everything was a security risk. I couldn’t say anything. Couldn’t cry or complain or seek comfort in my mother’s gentle words. Instead i’d spent the days, locked up in my childhood bedroom, pouring over my journals, my keepsakes and photos, reliving the years I’d spent, loving and learning and cherishing Taehyung. 
First kiss in his garage at the age of fifteen  , laughing over a failed skateboard trick. How he’d grinned at me, watching me whine over the scrape on my knee, how he’d stared up at me through the sweat damp bangs on his forehead as he’d knelt on the floor, sticking a bandaid over the scrape and then instead of moving away as usual, he mad moved  in,  brushed his lips against mine, stole the breath out of my lung , the soul out of my body . 
And Those first two years of denial....when he would practically run out of the door if i so much as breathed in his direction. 
“You’re Jimin’s sister.. I can’t...” 
God often he’d said that...over and over again until the words lost all meaning for me. I had wanted him so blindly. Had fought any girl who so much as looked at him and every one of my girlfriends  knew to stay clear off Kim Taehyung. 
The whispers, anytime someone showed an interest on the most handsome boy in school. 
Yes, he is gorgeous, yes he is smart and amazing but he belongs to  her.  She’ll kill you if you come near him. 
I’d enjoyed it. I enjoyed knowing that everyone could see that he belonged with me, even if Taehyung himself didn’t . 
And me at seventeen, watching him talk about leaving .... How he was going to join the police academy and become a cop and that had been the final straw. I’d all but barrelled into his home and kissed him. 
Told him in no uncertain terms that he was not going anywhere without telling me he loved me. And if he didn’t , I wanted him to swear he would never regret it. That when , years from now, he saw me walking down the aisle with some other guy, he would stand in the wedding party, next to my actual brother and not regret that he let me go. 
Taehyung had kissed me back with fervor that still made my lips tingle. 
And that last week before he left, when we had spent all our waking hours, either having sex or thinking about having sex. How we’d christened every surface of our parents’  house , our rooms and finally the coat closet after one particularly tense game of truth and dare. 
That was a memorable one because my brother had walked in, just as Taehyung had gripped my hair hard enough to bruise and shoved his ‘ big by any standards’ dick straight down my throat. 
Talk about embarrassing. 
And it had taken a whole lot of begging and cajoling and promises to not have sex till we were married, for my brother to come around.
But he had. 
And for five glorious years, I had been Kim Taehyung’s girlfriend. Watched him climb the ranks at seoul PD with a speed that was amazing. Watching him become the youngest detective on the force... watched him carve a reputation for himself in the Narcotic department.
And one evening, having dinner in a posh restaurant with our family and friends, I had watched him get down on his knees , a small velvet box in his hand  eyes practically sparkling with love as he stared at me. 
“The only one you’re walking down the aisle with is me, sweetheart.” He had rasped, over the raucous cheering of all the most important people in our lives. 
But the joy had been short lived. 
Just a month after our wedding Taehyung had taken up the assignment. Just two months, he had promised. I’ll be back in two months baby. I love you so damn much, you know that....
I had said it was okay. it wasn’t but i had said. Had promised to wait for him. To keep myself safe. 
Two months had turned to two years. Two years had turned to three. Three to four and four to five. 
Lonely. I was so lonely. 
Even living with my parents, the solitude had been unbearable. The ache from not being touched by him . The ache from not being able to touch him. From not having that boxy smile to greet me in the morning. Not running my fingers through his hair as he left hickeys all over me. Not having him over me, staring down at me,  eyes heavy and hard as he fucked into me.
I missed him so fiercely it was a physical ache. An intense , hollow ache filled with anxiety and longing. 
And terror.
Oh god I was so terrified. 
The fear was all encompassing somedays and I had to bite down on my pillows just to stop myself from giving in to hysteria. To start sobbing, uncontrollably because the thought would come out of nowhere, bowling me over in it’s intensity. 
The burning fear that perhaps he was hurt. 
That perhaps he was no longer of this world and i would never even know. That perhaps right this moment he was lying in some abandoned warehouse, bleeding out , thinking of me, wishing he could see me and he was just going to die alone . And I would never know. 
I spoke to Jimin on the phone to Jimin every weekend. But sometimes, once every three or four weeks, Jimin called in the day. 
We would exchange small talk. 
And then he would say, 
“Had a glass of madeira last night.”  “ spoke to Taehyung’s handler last night. 
I would grip the phone hard, brace myself for the good , the bad or the ugly that was to come. 
“Tasted great. Was thinking of you.”  He’s fine. He misses you. He loves you. 
“Okay. Thank you Jimin.” 
And that was that. 
The sound of the water spilling over drew me to the present and i blinked, staring down at the water flooding the bathroom, the drainhole struggling to get rid of the excess water. 
The house was deserted. 
My parents had died a year ago. And now it was just me. 
I swallowed , shaking my head before grabbing the hem of my dress and stripping. 
Shower.
And then bed. 
Alone. 
Always so fucking alone. 
The phone rang then and i groaned. 
God, I hated having to leave the shower to attend calls but the reception here was terrible and I could only get calls if I left the phone on the small table by the bed. 
Grabbing a towel and wrapping it around my torso, I stumbled out into the dimply lit bedroom, reaching for my phone. 
I couldn’t recognize the number and I frowned, before accepting the call.
“Hello?”
“Yerin?” 
Every hair on my body stood on end and my body curned hot and then went icy cold really really fast. 
“T-T-Tae??” I whispered, gripping the phone so hard my fingers went number. 
Five years later and his voice was so different. Deep and raspy and exhausted and I couldn’t make sense of it. Was this real? Was i having a fever dream? Had i fell in the shower and hit my head? 
“Hey baby.” He chuckled. 
“Is this real? Is it you?” I whispered, confused and my head spinning and my vision fading a little. 
“Yeah. “ He coughed a bit and i panicked. “ I’m back. “
I froze. 
“Wh-What?”
“I’m back. I’m home. I’m .... I’m back.” 
I stared at the wall, too stunned to process what I was hearing. 
I could hear his voice through the phone but I couldn’t respond. 
Staring at the screen , I hung up. 
And then, I finally gave in to the hysterics.

Notes: I posted this on ao3 yesterday and now it's here! I could not get this idea out of my head and just had to write it! Please let me know if you like it! I love to hear your feedback! <3
(masterlist)
Tumblr media
The first time Miya Atsumu saw you was in his first year of high school. He had been walking onto the court to play a game at the Spring Interhigh Nationals when his wandering eyes fell on your own. He couldn’t even remember the other team’s name he was about to face. However, he could remember the deep blue and gold tracksuit you were wearing a couple of courts over. He practically stopped in his tracks as he watched you talk to a manager from another team.
Your eyes shined brightly and the smile that graced your lips had him reeling. Needless to say, he was rather speechless with your angelic appearance. The stadium was too loud to hear the laughter that came out of your mouth, but he was sure it was perfect. His eyes scoured over your body, looking you up and down.
Wow, he thought, tempted to watch you for as long as he could, before something bumped into him.
His eyes were dragged away mercilessly from your figure and to his brother’s.
Miya Atsumu groaned loudly as he looked at his gray-haired twin. His frustration boiled over easily as if in too small of a pot and it resulted in him chasing after Osamu until Kita gave him a look that told him to behave. Oh, yeah, we are at nationals…
“Tch,” He mumbled before looking back at you. Or at least, where you had been standing.
You were gone.
And he was too entranced by your looks to see what school you went to. Atsumu looked back to his team and held in a groan as he forced himself to focus on the game that was soon to start.
~~
The next time Miya Atsumu was graced with your appearance was during the Winter Interhigh for his second year of high school. His team had once again made it to nationals, and it seemed yours had too.
In fact, you were currently standing opposite him on court B, while he stretched out his limbs.
You seemed much more confident in yourself than last year. The small, nervous blush that was permanent on your cheeks last year was gone. Your hair was shorter than before, no longer hiding over half your face, and it made you look way too good.
He stared at you as your team ran around the small court.
Tanuki High, he read off the jerseys.
Although he wasn’t happy to be facing off against your team on the first round of nationals, he tried to look at the bright side. He could impress you.
He found himself frequently looking at you as he warmed up, hoping you were looking at him. However, his now blond hair didn’t even help him stand out in a crowd. Rather than looking at the gorgeous setter that he was, you were looking at a player from your own team.
The boy had short black hair and green eyes. He had a smirk practically plastered onto his face and it made Atsumu want to hit him. Not a punch that could make his precious hands and knuckles bleed, but maybe a swift kick or elbow of the stomach.
He could not figure out why you were looking at that other guy so much. From what he could tell, the green-eyed bastard was also a setter and much worse compared to his own skill.
Atsumu groaned as he watched you look at that idiot with such a kind smile. He hated how beautiful he thought you looked and how much he craved for you to look at him that way.
And I don’t even know your name, he thought.
Once again, Atsumu was torn away from you by his brother.
“You like ‘em?” He asked, nudging Atsumu and looking at you.
Atsumu didn’t reply and simply walked away.
“Ah, so you do?” Osamu pestered, becoming that much more incessant.
“Shut it,” The blond twin spat back, “I need to practice my sets, toss them to me.”
Osamu didn’t bother to say anything else and simply followed along.
~~
It was about halfway through the game when Atsumu’s blood began to boil.
Tanuki High was not a bad school. They had a great defense and an ace who practically shut them out. However, Atsumu was able to keep calm and levelheaded until he saw you looking at that black-haired setter.
For most of the game, you had been dutifully noting down every point, block, and whatnot. It helped that you weren’t staring and giggling at the setter like before. Except, as everyone shifted positions and Atsumu moved to serve, he watched the opposite setter move to be standing closest to you.
Back left, Atsumu thought.
He watched attentively as the green-eyed boy looked at your sweetly and waved.
You waved back shyly.
Atsumu saw the other setter mouth something he couldn’t hear and your face went red immediately before you giggled.
The blond groaned as he took his steps back. When he looked up, you were still smiling like an idiot at the other setter. The referee whistled, signaling that it was okay for Atsumu to serve. He didn’t even bother silencing the cheer team, subconsciously knowing it would draw attention to him. He ran forward, jumping just in time, and smacked the volleyball as hard as he could.
It took less than a second for the ball to connect directly with the black-haired bastard’s face.
The referee once again blew his whistle and multiple people rushed over to check if he was okay.
Smirking, Atsumu walked up to his brother who was standing at the front as said, “Serves him right for not paying attention.” He knew he was an ass, he knew it was a little much to purposefully do a jump serve right into someone’s face, but it was a split-second decision.
Osamu chuckled and Atsumu felt a sense of pride rush through his veins until he saw your eyes snap up at him.
Like any manager would, you had rushed over to check on the player. His nose was bleeding and tears threatened to fall from his eyes.
When you heard that comment from the blond you had just served, you looked up in disgust at him. Your eyes held a fury that was rarely seen and Atsumu stepped back tentatively.
“You monster. How dare you,” You spat at Atsumu with venom dripping from your voice.
Atsumu could barely pay attention as he watched you usher the setter out of the gym and most likely to the infirmary.
Well, that backfired, he thought, now missing your kind presence that previously filled the gym.
The game ended quickly after that, Tanuki High being low in spirits. Although Atsumu wasn’t that much better either.
His heart felt like it ripped apart as you came back just in time to see your team lose. You were not accompanied by the setter and sadly shook your head as he watched the coach ask you a question.
Was my serve really that strong? He questioned as you sat down.
Atsumu simply followed the motions as he perfectly set the ball to Aran and watched closely for any possible blocks. It didn’t matter though.
He heard the smack of Aran’s powerful serve hitting the floor before he registered much and the ref's whistle blow.
End game.
He watched you calmly put your clipboard down before looking up to meet his eyes.
There was still so much anger in your eyes, but you hardly looked at him, barely spared him a glance, before going up to the players and hugging each and every one of them.
Atsumu stared at you with a foreign feeling. It felt different than the jealousy that ran through his veins when he saw you talking with that black-haired idiot from before. This feeling made him feel empty, but at the same time made him crave to fill that hole with your smile.
Oh, that gorgeous smile. You had lips that he would beg for a chance to kiss. The perfect shade of pink that matched perfectly against your skin tone to the slight laughter lines. Your smile was not joyful currently, it was more so filled with a pity directed at the volleyball players, a sorry attempt to cheer up the players.
He knew he should, but the second-year was way too nervous to actually go up and apologize to you. However, after a small cheer he shared with his team, Kita and Aran did force him to go and bow and apologize to the entire team.
“I’m very sorry for hitting your teammate. Please give him my sincere apology and know it was never my intention to hit anyone,” He partially lied, while bowing down to a 90-degree angle. He flashed a remorseful smile directed at you in hopes for pity.
You had none.
~~
Atsumu did not see you during the Spring Interhigh National games. He didn’t know if it was because your team did not make nationals or if you just didn’t cross paths. Regardless, he didn’t want you to see him lose in only the second round and was grateful for the absence.
~~
Atsumu finally saw you again at the Winter Interhigh National games.
Your tracksuit somehow fit even better than in years passed and Atsumu almost immediately walked up to you because of how profoundly gorgeous you looked.
However, what stopped him was the black-haired idiot. Or more so the lack of him.
He must have been a third-year, Atsumu thought as he watched you talk to the players. He was quite sure you were giving them an endearing and powerful speech. The passion and fire in your eyes outshined everything else. He absolutely adored how passionately you looked. If he looked closely, he would have noticed that you were also teary-eyed.
Atsumu continued to watch over you as he debated what to do. He was more confident than he was before, confident enough to walk up to you and ask for your number.
But what if you aren’t single? He thought, knowing full well that the alumni setter had flirted so freely with you and most likely asked you out.
“Stop being such a wuss.”
Atsumu looked away from you and to his brother.
“You have been looking at ‘em since our first year,” Osamu reasoned.
“No, I have not!” Atsumu countered, ready to hit his brother in the head.
Osamu barely ducked away in time from the attack before laughing, “Yeah, and you totally didn’t hit that guy in the face with a volleyball last year because he was flirting.”
Atsumu groaned, knowing that he was right. “Shut up, ‘Samu.”
“Whatever,” Osamu replied. “Just don’t come crying to me when you finally work up the courage and can no longer find ‘em.” His brother shrugged and walked away to go and talk to Suna.
Atsumu immediately turned his head around, worried you would be gone like before. He would theoretically only have one more chance to see you, that was if your team even made it to nationals. Atsumu groaned, knowing Osamu was right.
You were currently kneeling on the ground by the back wall and packing up some things in a bag, getting ready for your team’s game to begin. With most of your team busy warming up on the court, it gave Atsumu his best chance to talk to you privately. Most of his team was also leaving the court so none of those idiots would interrupt him either.
Before he could even think about what to say, his legs began approaching you. He inched close and closer but stopped when he was about five feet away and simply watched you.
Shit, what the fuck am I supposed to say?
“Can I help you?” You asked, looking up at him, worrying that he was going to be one of the many volleyball players from a different school that simply asked you out because they didn’t have their own team manager. You had a suspicious look on your face that heavily juxtaposed the sweet smile you gave all the players in Tanuki High.
“Oh, uh,” Atsumu stumbled over his words, not realizing you would notice him. He tentatively stepped closer, suddenly much more anxious than he was a few moments ago. However, he also found your confidence and bratty attitude so goddamn attractive. “I’m uh—"
“Oh!” You stood up from the kneeling position you had been in and pointed at the blond. “You’re Miya Atsumu, right?” Your eyes scanned his features and he wondered if you knew him from his noticeable, sunken eyes and bleached hair.
Atsumu immediately felt his face heat up, something he had yet to experience in his academic career. Despite being sought after by many people from his own high school, those people only liked him for his talent.
He never cared much for people who couldn’t befriend him for his personality but were happy to ogle him while he played. Nevertheless, he also still found himself enjoying their praises while he played.
Any of the people he tried to date in the past, a whopping three people, ended up breaking up with him because of his personality. The explanations ranged from him being too loud to being too obsessed with volleyball.
Either way, he was much more cautious than before, and yet you still grabbed his attention and made him want to learn more about you.
Atsumu would have looked away from you and toward the ground, except your eyes were sparkling too brightly for him to possibly miss a second. Fuck, he thought as he tried to figure out what to say.
“Y-you know me?” He finally asked. He pointed to himself in shock, eyes wide and unsure of himself.
“How could I forget the number #1 setter who hit Tadashi Kou in the face with a volleyball?” You ecstatically spoke, leaning back casually onto the wall and smiling with a confidence that made Atsumu’s heart rate increase.
Atsumu figured you were talking about the setter from last year, especially because he did not make it a habit to hit people with volleyballs. However, your voice, although not dripping with honey, did not have any anger in it as it did previously. He thought that if you remembered him for that, then you would be more upset with him. Your blatant compliment told him differently.
Regardless, Atsumu found himself sheepishly rubbing the back of his head and apologizing. “Yeah, sorry again about that,” He mumbled, looking down to the floor.
“Don’t apologize,” You waved him off, sheepishly scratching at the side of your face for making him feel bad.
“Oh! Um, but why?” He asked, silently thankful. The conversation wasn’t flowing perfectly, it was filled with awkward pauses and exclamations, but that was better than nothing. In fact, Atsumu wondered if your awkwardness was because you liked him, the same way his awkwardness was because he found your more beautiful than anyone he had ever seen. He reminded himself not to jump to conclusions, a normal person would not fall that fast and he was only beginning to understand his own feelings.
“Tadashi Kou is an asshole,” You swore. “That bastard totally deserved it.” Your voice echoed itself from that day last year. Except, almost angrier. It dripped with a fury Atsumu was unfamiliar with and he was glad he didn’t hear you speak this exact way to him last year.
“Oh,” Atsumu awkwardly replied, not quite sure what to say. What did he do to you? He wanted to ask but feared stepping over a boundary.
“I suppose you are wondering why,” You mumbled more so to yourself.
They know me so well, Atsumu thought, well aware that anyone would think that. However, he decided to let himself dream a little bit more, relish the good feelings he got from talking to you.
Even just your voice was gorgeous. From the way it dripped with honey as you talked to your teammates to the excitedness behind it when you guessed who he was. Even the sassiness and anger that your voice held at certain times made him shiver in new ways.
He realized how much he liked a confident person. No person who had shown interest in him before was the confident or teasing type. They were all confident enough to confess to him, but not confident enough to stop him if he was doing something dumb. Which was rather frequent, unfortunately. But your confidence made him hopeful that you would be willing to joke around with him and stop him when he was going too far. He found himself grinning wildly at just how quickly he was falling for you.
When you looked up at him, he realized his mistake. His eyes were glued to you, but he was thinking of something completely different and you definitely noticed.
Shit, I must look like an idiot. How long have I been not saying anything?
The smile on his face was wiped away because of his nerves and he was sure his face was red. “Uhh, yeah, but I don’t want to make you,” He mumbled back, wanting to forget about this awkward instance. However, your sparkling eyes looking directly at him with such curiosity made it almost worth it.
“Well, the whole world should know he’s an ass,” You replied, shrugging your shoulders, and moving so gracefully that no one would realize the swear that came out of your mouth. “He cheated on me if you must know.” Your voice was flat and blatant.
“Oh, shit,” Atsumu replied without thinking.
“Yeah,” You shot back.
Atsumu wanted to say something, anything, to cover up the silence that quickly took over your conversation. He moved closer to you, now only being a couple of feet away. “Well, I knew he was an ass from the beginning, so…” He trailed off, not sure what his point was.
You, however, still sputtered out a laugh that made his heart skip a beat. Once your chuckles died down, you looked up at the blond with a glint in your eyes that anyone would realize was flirtatious. “Oh really? And what made you hit him in the first place? I assumed it was an accident.”
Atsumu scoffed, replying quickly with, “What makes you think it wasn’t an accident?”
You scoffed back, equally as quick-witted, “Because I’ve seen you play. Coach made me watch hours’ worth of videos when we were going to play you last year, so I know you pride yourself on your serves. You wouldn’t try to hit someone unless provoked, especially because it would make it seem like you didn’t have almost perfect control over your serves. So, I just assumed it was a freak accident.”
Atsumu smirked, “You watch me that much, huh?” On this inside, he was screaming. He was going absolutely feral. You were way too much, and he was about ready to ask for your hand in marriage.
You simply shrugged once more. However, Atsumu, who was watching you intently saw you smirk at him. “So, was it an accident?”
Atsumu smiled and shook his head.
Your smile somehow widened. “And are you gonna tell me what provoked you to hit him?” You wanted to know so bad. What could possibly make Miya Atsumu forgo professionality?
Atsumu, who was busy staring at you, slightly shook his head to bring him back to focus. “You really want to know?” He asked, moving even closer to you, and forcing you to look up at him to meet his eyes. The angle was rather perfect, it gave him an ideal view of your face and he was so tempted to lean in and kiss you.
Either he was an idiot, or you were flirting with him. And he was really hoping you were flirting with him.
Atsumu smirked boldly and you visibly swallowed and tried your best not to breathe completely in his face.
“I do,” You breathed out, barely trusting your voice.
Atsumu hummed low in his throat, an action he knew worked well in getting a rise out of people. “Well,” He leaned back slightly, giving him some more room to talk. “You’re right that I pride myself on my serves. However, I’m not so prideful that I wouldn’t intentionally hit an idiot in the face. In fact, I have a lot of practice aiming my serves directly at my brother's head.”
He paused and smiled joyfully as you shot your hand up to your mouth and laughed. However, your laughter died abruptly stopped as the blond setter once again leaned forward. This time, he put his left arm against the wall behind you, effectively trapping you in closer than ever to him. Atsumu felt lucky that there were a lot of people in the stadium, making it easy for him to hide. Just imagining his team mocking him for this moment almost made him regret it.
He looked into your eyes, so innocent and simply looking directly at him. What he would give to hear your thoughts right now…
“You never told me what made you hit him,” You finally spoke, your throat dry, but still determined to know why.
“If you must know,” Atsumu spoke, looking directly at you and tentatively licking his lips. Your eyes shined with intrigue and your lips were slightly parted. As a last-second decision, Atsumu leaned forward again, brushing his lips against your right ear. He gently breathed out, noting how you shivered easily against his actions. “I couldn’t help myself when I saw how he was flirting with you.”
He was lightheaded.
It was very unlike him to act like this.
Sure, he thought about how to flirt with people, but actually doing it was different. In fact, the last person he dated laughed in his face when he tried to flirt.
He was sure you were about to do the same.
Except, you didn’t shake with laughter. You gasped and turned your head just slightly to meet Atsumu’s eyes as he moved away from your ear. He could feel the heat radiating off your face and see the light blush on your cheeks.
Atsumu smirked, hiding his own nerves. He was so ecstatic with your reaction, but at the same time anxious to see how you would reply.
“Fuck,” He heard you swear. It was so quiet as if coming out as a meek breath. He wouldn’t have heard it if he wasn’t so close to you still.
Being so close to you felt suffocating at this point. The air was hot and the temptation to lean down and kiss you was way too high. He wanted to take this slow, at least for now. Atsumu slowly pulled back, just enough so the air he was breathing was no longer yours as well.
Quickly, you looked down at your feet and fumbled with your hands.
“Don’t look away,” Atsumu sadly whined. He wanted to see your face and your reaction.
“But you made me nervous,” You whined back, causing Atsumu to smile wildly.
“So cute,” He simply spoke before moving his hand to gently cup your chin. He tilted your head up and smiled kindly at you. He could tell you were just as nervous as him and hoped his actions didn’t intimidate you.
You looked into his eyes expectantly. You weren’t sure what he would want from you. Unlike people from his school, you didn’t know much about him. You knew he was popular though. At least, a popular athlete. You clearly remembered the multiple women who cheered for him and held up signs for him during games.
You wondered if he was only flirting with you for fun. Or maybe he was hoping you would entertain him for the night. However, the idea of him literally hitting someone in the head with a volleyball simply because they were flirting with you made you think it might be something more.
However, the long, pregnant pause that had you both reeling in nerves and teenage feelings was stopped when your name was called.
You looked over, Atsumu’s head also turning when yours did.
Your face met the face of one of the first years. A sweet boy with pale, blond hair. He still had a little baby fat on his face, but he was quickly becoming an excellent player despite his innocence and cheerfulness.
Those factors made this moment all the more awkward.
Atsumu’s left arm tucking you into the wall and his right hand holding your chin. He towered over you in a way that made this look even worse.
You gulped down the lump in your throat. “Yes, Watanabe-kun?”
“The game is starting soon, and Coach wanted to talk to you,” He mumbled, his eyes only looking into yours, too nervous to look anywhere else.
“I’ll be there soon, okay?” You replied. Atsumu hadn’t moved in the slightest. He simply only watched Watanabe like he was a potential threat.
The first year nodded and jogged away.
You turned back to look at Atsumu how met your eyes. “So,” You mumbled.
“So,” Atsumu repeated as your voice died down into nothing.
“I have to go,” You finally added.
“You have to go.”
It was clear that you were both reluctant to separate. Atsumu didn’t want to move because he worried that you would leave and he would not see you again.
“Can I have your number?” You finally asked, surprising Atsumu.
“Um,” He finally pulled back and looked down. He tapped at his shorts, realizing he was still in his jersey. No pockets, no phone. “Do you have your phone on you?”
“Yeah,” You replied, and moved down to the bag you had been previously packing up. You unzipped the small, front pocket which helps your phone, and a small first-aid kit.
You quickly unlocked it and opened up to add a contact. You handed your phone to Atsumu and watched as he put in his number. You expected him to simply hand your phone back to you, but he suddenly moved to phone up high. He looked into the lens, smiled, and held up a peace sign before taking a photo of himself.
When he handed you back the phone, you saw he not only added a photo but also entered in his name. TsumTsum <3
“TsumTsum?” You questioned, looking up into the blond with an inquiring look.
Atsumu sighed and flopped around rather humorously. He acted like he couldn’t control his arms and whined out, “I thought it was cute!”
“I didn’t say it wasn’t!” You shot back, laughing at his actions.
Atsumu whined again, “Then why did you look at me like that?”
You simply shrugged, a beautiful smile on your face as you looked down at your phone and typed something out. Once done, you showed him your fine.
‘Hi TsumTsum <3’
Atsumu smiled proudly at the text.
“There, now you should have my number too,” You explained before tucking your phone away into your back. “Hopefully, I’ll see you tomorrow.” You smiled at Atsumu and gave him a quick wink before turning away and walking over to your team.
Atsumu smiled happily, so glad he was finally able to talk to you. In a haze, he finally left the gym and walked down the hall to where his team was supposed to meet up. Most of them were sitting around the small area, either on their phones or trying to sleep.
Atsumu had already given them a short speech about how they played today so they had most of the day free until after dinner when they would watch the recording of them playing and go over it with their coach.
Atsumu plopped himself down onto the ground next to his bad and Osamu. He immediately chugged his water and grabbed his phone out of his bag.
He giddily unlocked his phone to look at the text you sent him. His noise made his brother look over his shoulder and to his brother’s phone.
“Oh, did you get their number?” Osamu asked, turning around to see Atsumu’s phone more clearly.
Atsumu immediately moved to hide his phone. “Yes,” He abruptly replied before looking back to his phone and moving to add you to his contacts. However, as Atsumu’s fingers hovered over his keyboard, he realized something. “I didn’t get their name,” He spoke, looking up to Osamu as if he would have a solution.
The gray-haired twin immediately began laughing at his brother.
“Shut up, ‘Samu!” Atsumu exclaimed, moving to kick his brother.
Osamu hardly dodged his brother’s attack, unable to move swiftly from laughing so hard. “You’re such an idiot, ‘Tsumu!” Osamu said in between his laughs as he moved over to get to Suna.
Atsumu groaned loudly and turned to be by himself. He looked down at his phone, debating what to put as your contact.
Would it be too weird to put a pet name, he wondered.
Finally, after debating for some time, he decided to simply put your contact names as ‘Baby’.
Maybe I’ll change it once I know their name, he reasoned before turning back to his team and interjecting himself into Suna and Osamu’s conversation.
He never did change it though.

A Blessing in Disguise
I am very excited to announce that this fic now has a Russian translation! I posted this in October on my old blog, and in honor of having a translation recently written for it, I’ve decided to repost it onto this one!
ao3  
Russian translation   
content warnings: discussion of abortion, issues with body image and self-esteem, pregnancy, non-graphic birth
-
Two red lines stared back at him, the image burning itself into his brain. A sudden wave of dizziness washed over him and he stumbled to the ground, too dazed to catch himself. He couldn’t believe that this was happening.
He was pregnant.
He was pregnant, and he wasn’t sure how he felt about it, too disoriented at the moment to really tell. He was in his mid-twenties; in his prime and at the perfect age to start making pups, according to society.
But Peter didn’t think he was ready. Of course, the Omega in him had yearned quietly for pups ever since he started going through puberty, but Peter’s priority had always been to make a name for himself in science. He wanted to get his PhD and go on to make revolutionary discoveries; to pave the way for all Omegas and prove that his secondary gender couldn’t hold him back. For years, he’d been competing with Alphas, constantly trying to prove his worth. He couldn’t let all of that go down the drain for a pup.
There was Tony to think about, too. Peter had no idea if he would want to be a father, and he was too terrified to imagine his reaction to the news. He toyed briefly with the idea of not telling him, but that thought was quickly pushed out of his brain.
Tony deserved to know, and Peter had to tell him soon; soon enough that he could still get an abortion, if that was what he wanted.
A knock on the bathroom door brought him out of his thoughts.
“Baby?” Tony mumbled tiredly, voice laced with the thickness of sleep. “Are you going to bed soon? You’ve been in there for a while.”
Peter stashed the cluster of pregnancy tests in the back of the cabinets below the sink. He would have to remember to get rid of those the next day, before Tony could find them. Another knock had him rushing to stand up and wash his face, clearing it of his silver tear tracks.
“Pete?” Tony called, louder now and with more concern, still waiting for a response. “You okay?”
“I’m fine,” Peter answered, unlocking the door and stepping out of the bathroom.
Tony hadn’t finished scanning him for signs of harm when his nose picked up on the distress radiating from Peter’s body. It was a bitter scent; one that itched at Tony’s instincts, making him want to replace it with something more cheerful at once.
“What’s wrong?” Tony pulled him into his warm embrace, rubbing his back in small circles that bunched up his shirt.
Peter was tired of living in fear. Even if he’d only known about his pregnancy for all of ten minutes, he didn’t want to keep it from Tony for any longer. They didn’t keep secrets. They worked hard to keep their relationship honest, and Peter wasn’t going to be the one to ruin that.
“I’m pregnant,” Peter blurted out.
Tony’s hands faltered but remained on his back, which Peter took as a good sign. He didn’t dare to look up at his face, keeping his own hidden in the crook of Tony's neck. After a few minutes of mutual silence, the older man’s hands resumed their movements.
“You’re pregnant,” Tony repeated. “Sweetheart, that’s - that’s amazing.”
“You want to keep it?” Peter questioned, voice void of any judgement.
Tony recoiled away from him. “Do you not want to keep it? It’s your choice, of course, I’ll pay for the expenses either way.”
“I don’t know what I want to do,” Peter admitted smally. “I don’t want to give up everything I’ve worked for to stay home and take care of a pup. I’ve spent my whole life trying to prove that Omegas are more than pup-making machines. And now I’m pregnant.”
“You don’t have to give anything up,” Tony said firmly. “You can keep studying for your PhD, and get a job after that. I’ll stay home with the pup.”
Peter finally looked up at him. “You’d be willing to do that? I know it’s not - traditional, for the Alpha to be the one at home.”
“Fuck traditional,” Tony declared. “That’s our whole motto, honey. We don’t have to be traditional. And frankly, being there for my pup is a lot more important to me than what others will think of it.”
Peter beamed and threw himself onto Tony, who caught him and stumbled back a few steps from the force.
They quickly learned that pregnancy was not fun. At all. Peter spent most of the days of his first trimester alternating between clutching a trash can and a toilet seat, heaving up the contents of his stomach. Tony was always by his side, smoothing his hair away from his sweaty forehead and making him meals he could tolerate.
The second trimester was a lot more enjoyable. Peter’s stomach had settled down, for the most part, and started forming into a baby bump. He and Tony had completely opposite reactions to that.
“I’m so fat now,” Peter wailed into his pillow. “My body is ruined. I’m going to look distorted forever.”
Tony was patient with him, though, hiding his own glee until Peter was in a better mood. He thought that pregnancy looked amazing on Peter; he was practically glowing with it.
“You’ll be back in shape in no time, honey,” Tony assured him. “You’re still gorgeous as ever.”
Even more exciting than watching the baby bump grow was finding out the sex of their pup. Peter held Tony’s hand as they waited, shivering at the cool gel slathered on his abdomen. Slower than the couple would’ve liked, the doctor turned the screen to them.
They were having a boy.
Both Tony and Peter cried that day. They invited their friends over to the penthouse and threw a small party, accepting all of the gifts their friends brought with big smiles.
The third trimester, and thus the birth of their pup, arrived a lot faster than they expected. Tony had been at a meeting when Peter’s water broke, the latter of whom was in too much pain to drive himself to the hospital, and hobbled over to the bathtub instead.
“Boss,” FRIDAY interrupted the shareholder speaking unapologetically, “Peter’s water broke and he is now in labor.”
Tony’s face paled in less than two seconds, and he was out of the meeting room in less than one. He instructed FRIDAY to call the doctor and raced into the elevator, urging his AI to take him up to the penthouse faster than was allowed.
He found Peter curled up in the tub with a pained expression, whimpering in between each contraction as it came and went. He crouched next to him and offered him his hand, grimacing at the strength with which he gripped it.
The doctor joined them twenty minutes later with a nurse at her heels, ushering Tony to the side to crouch in between Peter’s open legs.
Tony knew that Peter would pull through. His mate was strong, with a will that matched his own. That didn’t stop him from wincing at every cry that tumbled out of Peter’s lips, or wishing privately that he’d never gotten him pregnant, because that way he wouldn’t be in pain.
Six hours after Peter went into labor, his groans were silenced by the loud cry of his newborn, who had finally come out. He was dirty, looking more like an organ than a human being, but Tony didn’t get to look at him for very long. The nurse whisked the child away while the doctor finished up with Peter.
Tony stayed with Peter, running his fingers gently through his damp curls. “You did it, baby. I’m so proud of you. You did it.”
The nurse returned soon after, the baby now clean and looking considerably more like a human. The baby was handed to Peter, who held him with shaky arms and watched him breathe through bleary eyes.
“Skin on skin contact is important,” the nurse told them, draping a blanket over Peter’s naked chest and the baby.
They moved Peter to the master bedroom, which was where he would spend his recovery. The baby would be there, too, resting in an incubator once he was taken away from Peter.
“What do you want to name him?” Tony wondered, laying on the bed with Peter. He’d insisted on having the incubator placed on his side of the room, so that he could watch over both of the people that owned his heart. Peter hadn’t minded, had just smiled at Tony fondly and nodded.
Tony was glad. If he looked to the left, he saw the love of his life, relaxing after giving birth to the baby boy on Tony’s right. He wanted to keep them close forever.
“Benjamin Anthony Stark,” Peter told him. “After the most important men in my life.”
Tony swallowed harshly. He’d never imagined naming his child after himself, or having someone else want to do so. He didn’t think there was much to live up to. Peter clearly didn’t agree with that, and there was his proof.
“Ben,” Tony whispered to himself, gazing at their little boy.
It sounded perfect.

this was originally a prompt fill from an intimate gestures list (i think) for ‘shoulder rub’, however tumblr ate the ask requesting it as i tried to post it so: anon from a couple of months ago, this one’s for you!
content warnings: whumper pov, emotional abuse tactics, retaliatory violence, blood, mild hand whump, dubcon vibes that lead to noncon at the very end
(please note that this piece definitely has the vibes, beats, and tactics of a classic abusive relationship. please look after yourself if reading.)
-
Christopher is finally finished for the day. He closes out of the last open tabs, saves the important documents before closing his laptop completely and abandoning the lot on the desk as he heads to the bar cart. The days have been long and frustrating this week. He’s glad that this one is over.
Cassius has been making a habit of coming to sit by him while he works. It’s very sweet. He rarely bothers Christopher. Just comes in quietly and curls up on the couch, lies on the chaise. Or, from time to time, settles beside him on the ground, resting his head on Christopher’s thigh.
Like a little housecat. 
He doesn’t talk until Christopher initiates, seemingly more than happy to self entertain or doze. He just seems to like the company. Or seems to know that Christopher does. Another warm body in the room. It’s incredibly sweet.
Today Cassius is sitting by the window, frowning over a textbook, a language tape in his ear. Mandarin, Christopher thinks. He seems to have taken to reading that better than the French, though he’s not half bad at holding a conversation in either these days. He works hard. Again, it’s very sweet.
Christopher takes his drink to the couch by the open fireplace and watches his boy for a moment, watches his lips moving around the shapes of words that he doesn’t dare speak aloud, finger dragging along the line of text as he studies it.
“My darling.”
Cassius looks up at him like a pet being called for food, eyes wide and sweet and questioning. Maybe a little hopeful. He pulls an earphone out to listen better. Lovely thing.
“Come sit,” Christopher says, pointing to the ground in front of him. 
Cassius stands, dropping his things on the table beside him and moves over with relative grace. He settles on his knees between Christopher’s legs without hesitation, rests his cheek on Christopher’s thigh with a coquettish little grin. Christopher laughs, running his hand through his boy’s hair. 
“What?” Cassius smiles as he kisses along the seam of Christopher’s trousers, looking up through his lashes, the perfect picture of innocence. “Is this not what you want?”
“It’s not what I was asking for,” Christopher corrects.
Cassius shifts closer anyway, nuzzling his inner thigh with a hum. “That’s not a no.”
“It is for now,” Christopher says, irritation running through him just a little at Cassius’ pushing arrogance. He makes himself keep the fond smile and turns his finger in a little spiral. “Turn around.”
Cassius looks up at him, shadow of a frown on his face before it melts back to placidity. It always seems to catch him a little off guard when the instruction he hears is contrary to one he can feel. It sets him off balance, maybe. A little uncertain.
But as soon as the moment it is there, it’s gone again. He smiles, freshly flirtatious, like he’d never hesitated, and rises on his knees to turn. “Yes, sir.”
Christopher’s lips press together in disapproval. The moniker is practically an inside joke at this point, the playful, rebellious pushback to his own insistence to be called by his name. Most days he finds the cheek of it sweet. But on days like today it’s like a needle under a fingernail.
Still, he pushes the annoyance down, intent on having a nice night. “Would you like a cushion?”
Cassius casts a look over his shoulder, “Depends what we’re doing, I suppose.”
Christopher laughs under breath and reaches for one, passing it to his boy, “Get comfy.”
Cassius obliges, tucking the cushion underneath himself and settling with crossed legs, slouching a little forward. Christopher reaches forward, and presses cool palms to Cassius’s back, smooth and flat. He delights in the way his boy breathes in response, deep and rich, muscles of the back expanding and relaxing. Like through his touch alone he gives Cassius absolution. 
He keeps them resting them a moment before he begins to circle, and then press, working the movements into a gentle massage of a back that has only ever learnt to tense and tense and tense. Through the touch, he can feel his own sharp edges get sanded down. His own stiffness start to ease. Relaxation. Alleviation. Relief.
“How was your day, darling boy?”
Cassius sighs, contented. “Boring.”
“Sorry to hear that. Who do I need to fire?”
Cassius breathes a laugh and then hisses a sharp inhale of pain as Christopher drives his thumb into deeper tissue. The contrast between the sounds is delightful. The satisfaction of balancing scales. 
Christopher runs the heel of his hand along the trapezius, the other keeping Cassius still with a hand to his collarbone, fingers slipped beneath the neckline of his shirt. Cassius lets out a breath that could nearly be a moan, swaying with the movements of Christopher’s hand, melting at the touch. 
“What, um…” Cassius says, sounding like he’s already halfway out to sleep. He well could be. He was always so interesting with touch. Like a wax figure melting and reforming under the heat of Christopher’s hands. Cassius tries again.“What have you been working on?”
“Just reading over some things,” Christopher says with a sigh, trying his best to keep it out of mind. “Putting off calling my accountant if I’m being honest.”
“It’s stressing you out?”
“It’s boring me, mostly,” he says. He runs his thumbs along the sides of his boy’s neck as he asks, delighting in the way Cassius shudders and lets out a sigh. Relaxing piece by piece. “Stressing me out... what makes you say that?”
“Mm. Dunno. You’ve been… tense lately.”
“I’ve been in a bad mood, you mean.”
There’s only a brief pause, “Maybe a little.”
Christopher hums, “The others hide from me when I’m in a bad mood.”
“Well I’m not the others.”
There’s an interesting flavour of insult to the way the boy says it that makes Christopher smile.
“No. You’re not.” He presses a kiss to the top of Cassius’ head and taps his shoulder with a finger. “Take this off for me, love.”
Cassius glances a little over his shoulder, gives him that flirting little smile before turning back forward and slipping the shirt from his head. He drops the shirt to the side.
Christopher hums, curling his hands over lovely, olive-skinned shoulders. “Gorgeous.”
Cassius laughs and tilts his head to the side, letting his hair brush by one shoulder and his neck stretch long. Christopher hums again happily at the invitation and rubs his thumb along the tendons there, following the curve of his boy’s shoulder.
“Shall we go down to the den tomorrow?” he asks softly. He presses a kiss to Cassius’ stretching neck, like it’s an invite to lunch. “It’s been a while.”
Cassius almost misses his cue. Christopher stops the circling motions of his hand, palm resting flat over a shoulder blade, the other still curled lightly over his opposite shoulder. The stilling seems to be enough to prompt. 
“Sure,” Cassius breathes, all exhale and attempted nonchalance. Then he echoes in the sweet little way he does when he’s nervous, “It’s been a while.”
Christopher hums ambivalently, “What, do you think? The flogger maybe?”
Cassius hums back, head tilting down as Christopher’s thumbs press up to the base of his skull. “Will I get to see Chook after?”
Irritation surges at the question. Prickles under skin. Christopher sighs, irritated and disappointed. “It always has to be a quid pro quo, doesn’t it, darling?”
Cassius tenses under his hands. Christopher pretends not to notice, thumbs working double-time into the tightening muscles, forcing his own satisfaction at watching the skin go red under his touch. He runs down along the grain of the muscle, digging his thumb into a place he knows bothers. 
“Didn’t mean it like that,” the boy mutters through clenched teeth, right shoulder hitching up as the left is pressed down.
“Then what exactly did you mean?”
“I don’t know, I just thought-”
“No, you didn’t think. That’s the problem, you never think.”
“That’s not-”
“You already knew I was in a bad mood tonight, you couldn’t have just said yes?”
“I’m sorry, I was just-”
“I ask you for something I need and your first thought is oh, what do I get for it?”
“That’s not-”
“There is very little I don’t give you, Cassius, and yet-”
“I know.”
“-the second I want something from you that you find mildly distasteful-”
“I know.”
“-you turn it into some unnecessary, bargaining manipulati-”
“Jesus I know, alright? I get it. I won’t fucking see him, I was just asking. I didn’t mean it like that.”
The snapping tone. The raised voice. The breathless silence after.
How… disappointing.
Cassius knows — and Christopher knows he knows — he just made a mistake. 
Christopher pulls his hands back from Cassius’ shoulders, watching them raise up to his ears like that could possibly protect him. He sighs, and picks up his drink. He takes a slow sip.
A pin could drop and they’d hear it all the way at the gates of the Estate.
“Turn around,” Christopher murmurs. Cassius does, dark eyes cast down and skirting to the side. No, they can’t be having that. “Look at me.”
His boy looks up dutifully, trepidatious and tense. Christopher takes another slow drink, gaze locked on Cassius’. He slaps his pretty face.
Cassius’ head snaps to the side hard and fast, eyes slamming shut in self protection. He stays frozen in the wake of it, either in shock or just carefully awaiting his next instruction so as not to misstep again. His pulse is visible in his lovely throat, the little mole by his jugular keeping time.
Christopher offers out his scotch, “Drink.”
Cassius takes the glass, hand just barely shaking with adrenaline. Somewhat impressively, he downs the whole thing in one swig. Christopher watches, impassive, and puts his hand out for the empty glass to be returned to him.
His boy places it back in his hand in slow motion, holding eye contact the whole time, searching Christopher for answers of what will come next. Poor thing. It must be difficult for a telepath to predict the next course of action when the person they’re reading hasn’t decided yet.
Christopher waits for Cassius to pull his hand back from the glass entirely. And then he shatters the thing on the side table.
Cassius flinches, shards of embossed crystal exploding across the carpet, along the table-top, flicking out to glance off his boy’s arm, and leaving the jagged-edged base of the glass in Christopher’s hand.
Cassius keeps his eyes down and wide. He’s still and tense. Jaw clenched. Whole body shaking.
He doesn’t know what comes next. Isn’t sure how to move. 
Christopher is placid and steady. The burst of violence, Cassius’ involuntary reaction alongside,  was very pleasing. Satisfying. Prescription medication for the irritated soul.
Christopher takes a long, deep, calming breath through his nose. Sits forward. Looks at his boy.
“Pick a hand, my love,” he murmurs softly. 
Cassius glances up, and then down again, closing his eyes momentarily before the jaw clenches and the shoulders lower and with a tiny catching breath, he resets himself. Christopher tilts his head to the side. Cassius knows all his choreography, at least. Even when he fumbles his lines.
Cassius starts to pull up his left hand, and then, calculating, switches to his right.
How very sweet. 
Christopher takes the offered hand in his own, uncurling lax fingers with the brush of his thumb. Cassius has lovely fingers. Long and slender, pretty pink nails contrasting brown skin. There was a time Cassius used to bite those nails so short they’d bleed. Christopher has taught him to keep them longer and neater. He prefers them that way. Prettier.
Christopher takes the base of the glass and places it face down in his boy’s open hand. The circle of it fits satisfyingly well over the dip in the palm. Christopher circles the shape with the tip of his index finger, as though he were making a wine glass sing. How perfect.
For a few seconds, that’s all there is: pointed glass balanced on creased skin. And then he presses in.
Cassius winces of course, but makes no noise, as the glass cuts through the skin. Christopher watches carefully, releasing his breath as he sees the blood prickle up, beading alongside the glass. It soothes something in him, these slow moments of pain. Like the slow release on a pressurised bottle. 
He holds Cassius’ hand in place with a gentle touch to the wrist and with his other hand closes each finger, one by one, and then the thumb. He closes his own hand over Cassius’ fist, and then the other. Presses it closed and closed and closed around the glass.
Blood looks so very pretty decorating the cracks of a clenched fist.
“Look at me,” Christopher murmurs. Dark eyes flick up. Rare tears sit there, held barely back by long lashes. A blink. They spill over. Christopher breathes in deeply like one might seeing a natural wonder. In another circumstance he’d call him beautiful. But beauty is not what this moment here is about.
His fury is not a fire that can be doused with something as easeful as beauty. It’s a burning thing that turns his ribcage white-hot, generates its own energy.
He uncurls Cassius’ hand mechanically, when the tears have just started to make constant, glistening tracks down his cheeks, when the thin trails of blood have started to rundown his wrist, converging at the vein. He plucks the glass from his boys hand. The blood wells in that perfect little dip of the palm.
Cassius keeps his hand perfectly in place as Christopher sets the shards on the side-table, arm trembling, eyes fixed on the rivuleting blood. 
Christopher trails a line up 
There’s a faint little mark on the inside of Cassius’ left wrist. A small, smooth, circular thing that could pass off as an old burn, or a birthmark. Pink and glossy. Practically embossed. His brother has the same one. He flinches as Christopher runs his thumb over it, smearing blood like he’s decorating the little mark.
“It’s been a while. Hasn’t it, my love?” he says, a whole history laid out on the words.
“Yes,” Cassius replies, through a husky throat. His shoulders hitch up, tense and protective. And then he echoes, “Been a while.”
Christopher presses his thumb to the circular mark.
It takes almost exactly six seconds.
It’s a fascinating thing, to watch the body heal itself in real time. Or, not real time perhaps, but rapidly. To watch it stitch itself back together cell by cell, cut by cut, piece by piece. A wildly intelligent dance of recovery, executed by perfect machinery. And then all that’s left for evidence of harm is the small puddle of blood in the centre of his palm, the blood streaking down towards his elbow. 
Meanwhile, Christopher knows, somewhere deep in the back rooms of East Wing, Henri Drake’s palm will be opening up in tiny lacerations. He’ll feel the sting of glass that never touched him biting through skin that was never directly wounded. A punishment for a crime he never committed. He’ll spend the next week with the mistakes of his brother cut into his skin, and then he’ll wear the scars. Poetry, really.
Cassius looks at his blood-stained hand with hollow eyes, looking less wounded and more like he somehow knew this was coming. Maybe he did. He’d known exactly the sort of mood Christopher has been in this week.
“I’m ready for my apology now, Cassius.”
Cassius, as ever, knows all the right steps to the dance.
He shifts forward, hands going to Christopher’s thighs, knees slipping off the pillow and onto the tiny shards of glass still decorating the carpet. Those cuts he could keep, Christopher decides. A nice two-fold reminder.
The touch, expertly competent, does wonders at easing the rest of the tension sitting along his spine. Cassius’ eyes on him, tears still drying on his cheeks, make it even better. And that mouth… that lovely mouth.
After a long, hard day, a tense and frustrating week, what was better?
Relaxation. Alleviation. Relief.
Cassius takes him to the base. How sweet.

I Promised You The Moon - Episode 1 Thoughts - aka did John Hughes direct this and not tell us?
Tumblr media
Oh I had to wait so long today to see episode 1 as I was working but I am so very happy I waited till I was in bed and with a cup of tea... which I then cried into four times. So that’s where I’m at. This is going to be long, I’m not even sorry in the slightest!
For ITSAY, I made so many posts about this show and how moving and beautiful it was, how the symbolism and writing was exceptional, how the music was absolutely incredible and how much I adored BK and PP’s chemistry. P’Boss’ work is special and the feel of Part 1 was a delicious kind of awkward, indie movie full of metaphors, fraught pain and emotion and pretty breathtaking storytelling of love and growth. I fell absolutely in love with Teh and Oh and their story, obsessed with Teh as a character (as I see a lot of myself in him and I love when he spirals) and I just felt utterly moved by the whole show. So I never needed Part 2. Part 1, for me, is perfect. And I certainly didn’t expect to love Part 2 as much or feel as much emotion because I just thought it wouldn’t be possible especially with a change of director and city and storyline... but I genuinely think that was a good idea after seeing Episode 1.
I just finished it and I’m kinda tear stained and the first thing I couldn’t get out of my head was just how much it reminds me of the late dear John Hughes movies from the 80s. Those of you who are a little old like me born right at the beginning of the 90s, will have been brought up on those movies filled with 80s synth music, stories of growing up, artsy camera work and filled with colour and emotion. Those movies are some of my all time favourites and I absolutely felt their influence on Episode 1 and maybe the rest of the season, I don’t know! I really wonder if P’Meen used them or was aware, hahaha. Anyway...!
But first off, I cannot, and I mean CANNOT handle the music. Part 1 really did floor me with the use of the score and how it was such a huge part of the reason it was so beautiful. Phuket Dreams has me in tears about 3 notes in... so cue me crying at the remixes of the old score with 80s synth sounds and almost Dream Pop echoy sounds. That right there is my jam, my absolute favourite music and the way IPYTM is so clearly going to be full of it makes my heart very happy. Especially those last scenes with Oh, that sweeping 80s style music taking him from heartbroken pain to dancing to forget had John Hughes all over it and just felt so impactful. So I will bang on every week about the music I’m sure.
As for the beginning and the casual buying of condoms (yesssss god damn Nadao, thank you for safe sex lessons for LGBT+ youth and a nod to actual sexual expression, I’m mega proud) leading into the way Hoon and Suri were involved (they didn’t give me Tuty 😭) in transferring Teh, it felt like such a gorgeous transfer from ITSAY vibes to IPYTM... watching Teh’s mamma so proud, Hoon watching over him as always and then gently leading into the first moment that made me cry...
How dare they put a remix of the old score over Teh being told by his mamma that she accepts him as he is so casually and softly, in a way that not only lets Teh know he’s loved but welcomes Oh as someone she cares about deeply and is happy being someone her son loves. It was beautifully done and I couldn’t help but think of Teh’s teary face on the Cape at the end of Episode 5 and thinking how proud I am of him. The way Hoon stroked his hair - help.
Teh. Now I made no secret of the fact that I loved every moment of watching Teh go through it in Part 1, how his very physicality and struggle played out especially him writhing all over his rug! But we had to see him grow. He isn’t the same boy he was but he still feels like Teh, just a little more comfortable, a little more mature in some ways and just READY for life. He feels tentative but also prepared to grow more and I just adore him. Oh, on the other hand, the one who was much more secure in himself in terms of his self and sexuality in Part 1 is now absolutely thrown into the unknown and isn’t handling it well.
Oh was established so beautifully as a Phuket boy. His name is rooted in his home, he lives in shorts and by the sea, he’s shaped by that place and what it means to him... his signature scent is coconut! He literally embodies Phuket... so it doesn’t in any way surprise me that we are watching him flounder and feel lost. It feels so human and so many moments felt so moving. When he told Teh that the best part of his day was seeing him, when he imagined the waves on his mind, when he listened to his mamma talk about the coastal weather... it’s hardly surprising that he cried as he was asked to explain his name. That was the second moment that got me. I was a wreck. Watching him break down and fall to pieces infront of total strangers just because he was recounting the meaning of his name, the foundation of who he is, the thing he misses to very much... he doesn’t fit, he doesn’t feel at home and he didn’t feel himself. It was beautifully done, for me. I caught my breath the second he started crying because it was so utterly human and raw. I have felt the way he does and recognised every second on his face. PP has come so so far with his acting.
Then we get the mention of Yongjian. NOW SOMEONE TELL ME IS THAT TEH AS YONGJIAN IN THE TITLES? If so, how dare they spoil it?! I am going to weep uncontrollably if Teh gets his dream. But the way Teh spoke of their future, the way he tried to recreate their past with Yongjian’s speech. Their entire history as friends and boyfriends is rooted in that story, that character, the idea of being Male protagonists... and Teh is so sure of their future. Also, you cannot also avoid the meta of it all with BK and PP. That moment and their words felt so personal to them too and their own real lives!
Do not even start with how their first kiss in Phuket was underwater and arguably their first kiss in Bangkok is the same albeit in public. DO NOT LET ME THINK ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH.
The issue is that, Part 1 set out for us how they ended up where they are. Oh fell into acting, it was never his dream from the start. Then it all became a fight, a thing to win from his rival and in the end a thing to prove. We haven’t really ever see Oh show a passion for the stage and acting, not really. He worked so hard to get his place in Uni but there’s so much irony at play. Their entire story of rivalry has actually caused this current situation. Oh “won” the coveted Uni spot (helped in part by Teh) and Teh “lost” and was making do. But we see how that’s not how life goes. Oh never really felt he knew what he wanted and so he just ploughed on. He’s now in a situation where he has to start deciding, has to be his own person and he’s just... lost. I can’t wait to see him find it whatever it may be! The difference with Teh is that he may not have got his number 1 desire but his passion is ENOUGH. He loves what he’s doing and that moment where Khim (is that her name, I forget now, it’s so late, but Goy’s character) was explaining the lights was gorgeous. Teh’s passion was ignited, you could see that “oh wow” moment... and you can see the difference in how they’re going to progress, Teh didn’t need the top Uni because his passion can carry him and will help him succeed whereas Oh doesn’t know what his passion is and perhaps he’s where he is for the wrong reasons after all. The story telling is lovely to me, if completely heartbreaking.
The tears came again at “but I’ve already given so much of our time to other people”. Oh the tears. The boat scene from ITSAY is my favourite scene of the show and that line is one of the most beautiful bits of writing I’ve encountered for a long while... and to see Teh use it and remember it and effectively set out the issue they’re facing was heartbreaking. They made that promise on the boat and they’re breaking it. Oh-aew is trying to be what he thinks Teh needs and Teh is wide eyed and filled with this new world and getting to indulge his passions. They’re both so human and both trying the best way they know but they’re so young and so unsure and have so little life experience that they don’t know how to be adults or how to manage all of this stuff. They know they care and love and are each other’s person but they have such a lot to learn.
So the introduction of Q and the boys... and let me say they’re glorious... feels both beautiful and tragic because they look like they will be accepting and also potentially LGBT+ themselves or maybe Q (I see your gorgeous painted nails, sweetheart and the way you didn’t question Oh saying “partner” for a second)... but also they’re what Oh is using to fill the time he promised to Teh. It’s not Oh’s fault. He deserves friendship and a world of his own too but he was relying so much on the familiarity of Teh and Teh’s presence to keep him grounded and comfortable but he can’t do that all the time. He is trying so hard to be good and thoughtful and kind that he’s not telling Teh the truth. He’s doing what he said he wouldn’t do on the boat, but we can’t blame him in the slightest, he’s the sweetest boy.
I have so much to say but I guess that’ll do for now. I really loved the episode. Yes, it’s different but I think I realise now why it needed to be. In a way I’m kinda of happy about it because ITSAY stays sacred!!!! It stays as that beautifully fraught and emotional indie movie of my heart filled with metaphorical depth. It can’t be touched as far as I’m concerned but with IPYTM it feels just as moving, just as emotional, just as impactful but in a different way that reflects maturity. I don’t think it would have worked if it still felt fraught and characterised by ITSAY vibes. They’re not kids, they’re not insecure about who they are anymore in terms of their sexuality and they are moving into adulthood.
I know it’s going to break me. Episode 1 had me genuinely crying into my tea but I also know that it had the potential for its own special brand of symbolism and meaning. We can already see some special moments which seemed to be saying way more than the words themselves like the speech on light and how we see things and the way Oh even used it himself to see a different perspective at the end. That felt really very meaningful. They’re going to need to be able to see different view points as they navigate what will probably be a shit ton of pain! They will need to adjust to the light, to their circumstances to be able to survive and for their bond to be what is important without allowing other stuff to pass into their line of sight. Oh saw nothing. Empty stage, no Teh, not even himself... he opened his eyes too soon. He needs to learn to adjust and learn how to see the world and his place in it so that when he opens his eyes he sees what he desires and has worked for and made for himself rather than emptiness.
The last thing for me is the chemistry. What more can you say other than they’re perfect? They have the most natural, enigmatic, intense and sweet chemistry. They work so beautifully together. They sell even the smallest of moments and they absolutely destroy with emotion. I just feel every second of Teh and Oh’s emotion and that is such a damn skill. Their talent, man.
So I loved it. I am going to be dreaming tearstained in 80s synth music tonight! I can’t wait for the rest to emotionally destroy me a little more.
