𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑺𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒘𝒉𝒂 - ( wc : 853 )

“Okay, it’s cake time !” You said, clapping your hands with impatience. You had made small cupcakes for your baby’s first birthday, which came way too fast, if you were asked. Time was running, but your baby was running faster for a few weeks now. You just spent the day with your family, had a real good time at the beach. You took a bunch of cute pictures to send to all the uncles and family. Seonghwa was the best playtime partner, since your son seemed to be insatiable about playing today. Balls, toys, cubes, and everything. He wanted to have the best time of his life. This day was a core memory. You came home at dinner time, to celebrate with a little fancy dinner yall could share. The little one had a good time, but now it was time for him to blow out his first candle. You light it in the kitchen, while Seonghwa keeps your son busy. You finally come back, starting to sing the usual traditional "Happy Birthday." Your partner joins you to sing with you, as you advance the cake at the boy’s height. But his reaction makes you smile. "He’s fascinated." You point out to the dad. "Do you think he’ll want to blow on the flame? Is he scared?" You could feel in Hwa’s voice that he was starting to panic a little bit. What a hands-on dad he was. “Breathe honey, he’s just looking at it waving.” You try to reassure your lover. “You’re gonna burn yourself, honey.” You nod your head negatively before turning to the baby. "Are you blowing on it, angel?" You’re showing him how to do it, without extinguishing the flame, but he’s completely fixated on the movements she draws. “Come on, sweetheart, you can blow on it. We’ll help you if you want." Keep encouraging Seonghwa. Suddenly the child started to laugh as he looked at the flame. You and Seonghwa exchanged a puzzled but amused look. What could have made him laugh like that? Finally, before the wax from the candle runs over the cake you blow on the candle, while your companion puts a kiss on the top of the skull of your little boy. “Happy birthday, angel." He said. You put the cake on the baby’s high chair after removing the candle. He immediately put his tiny hand on the cream at the top of the cake to put some in his mouth, but ended up putting food all over his face, which made him laugh so much. He was such a happy baby, you couldn't help but feel so much love and tender to that little person.

Later on, after a good cleaning session, you three were seated on the giant bed you and your husband were sharing. Unwrapping presents before bedtime. “Okay buddy, here’s the last one. And Dad chose it, very specially for you.” Said your partner by your side. The box wasn’t that big, but it made a lot of noise if you shake it. “ Oh ! What could it be, Bubba ? Open it !” You tear a small part of the paper, so that it can reach and pull on the paper in turn. Her tiny, poteled hand closes around the paper and you come to help her remove the wrapping piece by piece. "Oh! Look, honey, Lego!" You threw, surprise. You didn’t know he was going to give her this. But in the end, you could almost have guessed it. It was not as if your companion’s desk was filled with little figurines, raised of course since the baby was born. “It’s giant Legos ! That way, we can both make small constructions!" Seonghwa says with a little too much excitement in her voice. " Your first Lego! You’re going to have so much fun with Dad, angel." The toddler babbles between your arms, before crawling gently towards his father, not caring about the game box that was in front of him. Would you like to go and try them now?" he asks, catching the little one up against him. You realize at the same time how much they are alike, both of them. You had given birth to your husband’s perfect copy. It was just as well that he became a fan of construction as his father and now you will have the impression of having given him a tiny version of himself. The boy’s head is resting against his dad’s chest, yawning with his mouth open. "I guess that’s a very honest way to say no. You’re right, it’s tiring to be a year old." You both left the bed to hug him very tightly and say a few times how much he was loved and cherished. You put him in his bed, when his eyes were closed and took the time to admire the little perfect man you made, pressed against Hwa’s body. “You’re the best dad in the whole world for our little boy.” You whispered. He kisses the top of your head, tightening his embrace. "I would be nothing without him, and even less without you. You are my world.”

“You definitely should be asleep now” You begged your little boy that would not go to sleep tonight. You tried everything, feed him, change him, rock him, sing him lullabies. The poor boy was constantly showing his dissatisfaction with tears and cries. His bad mood was not of tonight. It must have been because his morning nap made him angry. Or was it the teeth that were hurting? Your baby was babbling and leaving traces of it on the way. Whatever his grumpy mood, you didn’t really know what to do. Especially since you still had so much to prepare. Tomorrow you will go to the Hongjoong family for your first baby’s birthday. You couldn’t even delegate, since your partner was still in the studio. "I beg of you." you sighed at the little human who lay between your arms. Even the carrying did not work, although he loved to rest against your heart.

"It’s your birthday that makes you sad? It’s your poor mother who should be sad that you’re growing up so fast!" You say, watching him without understanding why he was so upset. "What should I say then?" You hear the voice of your companion rising in the living room, making you jump. With the baby crying you didn’t even hear him come in. "Well, that’s a hell of a chagrin!" he said, approaching you. He puts a kiss on your lips, and a hand on yours against your son. I don’t know how to calm him down, he refuses to fall asleep, nothing works." You’re groaning and resting your head on his shoulder. “Okay, would you let me try?”You nod and let him try to put the baby carrier, before handing him the little sobbing boy. As soon as he was perfectly installed in the fabric, your son instantly stopped crying. “You just wanted your dad…” Your mother’s heart is tinged with a sweet emotion, while an ounce of relief creeps into your mind. The little boy’s sobs cease and he slowly puts his head against his father’s chest. “Little daddy’s boy.” Your partner says, while wrapping his arms around you, your baby was surrounded by the two of you, now. but his big round eyes were darted on the face of him, whom he looked so alike. Hongjoong was the only one who could put him asleep when he was just a newborn. As he grew up things changed, but on the eve of his first birthday, we must believe that he needed nothing more than to feel his dad. “As in his first days.” You commented. “I can’t believe he’s turning one tomorrow.” Life has been crazy, lately. “The best year of our life, baby.” he says, making you smile. “It was. We’re lucky.” You add, before coming to drop a kiss on the top of the skull of your still well awake baby. “Appa!” Said the little boy, making you both surprised. He never said a complete word before, only baby mumblings until tonight. “Did you say Appa ? Can you say it again ?” Hongjoong asks to his son. And the baby did. Appa ! You couldn’t help but feel so proud of your son, even though he definitely was his father’s son. “Your first word on your birthday ! I’m so proud of you buddy.” You say to the baby. “And I’m proud of us, honey.” Add Joong to your hear. You definitely wouldn’t have it any other way.

“How’s my little pumpkin this morning ?” You say, while taking your baby by your side on the bed. Covering both your bodies, while nursing her for the first time of the day. You took the time to picture her small little face against your skin. You didn’t realize she was already one. She was the perfect little cutie. Since birth she slept nearly through the whole night, only waking up a few times to be fed and changed. She used to sleep between you and Yunho, who loved having his daughter by his side. At one point, he was the one who refused that she goes into a big girl bed next to yoursYou understood real fast that he was way more anxious than you were about the baby's safety. He took her everywhere he could and when he couldn't, he rushed back home as soon as possible. It was really important for him to be able to feel her and to build a strong connection with his daughter. He helped her to learn everyday, and she's the best learner ever. You were both so proud of her.

You caress her little cheek, You love those little times, when your bodies are pressed against each other, her little hand caressing your skin. It was a privileged time with her, and you cherished every little part of it, even the hardest ones. Suddenly, the buzzing sound of your phone, took you out of your admiration. It was Yunho facetiming you. “Hi, handsome.” You say, answering the call “Hi, pretty ! Wanted to see if you were okay.” He says, all smiley through the screen. The phone is tilted to allow him to admire the two women in his life. “We're all good. Pumpkin was very hungry this morning.” You said, feeling her moving against you, so her eyes could reach her dad through the phone. She quickly comes off to stand up against you, while you lift the fabric of your top. “-ppa !” squealing the little girl and waving her tiny hand, as if to grab the phone. “Yes it's Appa, honey.” You confirm, surrounding her little body with an arm. “Happy Birthday, princess !” he says. The baby started clapping happily in her hands. “When are you coming home ?” You ask since you wanted to spend that special day with your husband too. “We're at the airport! I'll be here in a few hours !” He made sure everything was right to be here right on time. “My case is full of sweet presents for our little pumpkin.” He was way too joyful. You were pretty sure that there was a present for him in this suitcase, such as a new game or new devices for his setup. “Our angel will be so spoiled ! Have a safe flight, sweet. Love you !” You say, before leaning to your baby and whisper in her ear. “Send a kiss to Appa, Pumpkin” Automatically the baby stas sending kisses to the phone, melting your heart seeing how cute she was. “Can't wait to be with you. Love you too, my dear.” The call ended and you grab your baby to take your breakfast and start the day.

The sweet little girl has been a pure angel for the whole morning. She refused to take a nap but wanted to play all the time. For a few times, she tried to take her first steps, but ended up failing and falling back on her tiny butt. The last time she fell, she left her sweet teary eyes at you. “Oh no, baby, it's okay, don't be sad. You'll get it !” You hand her another block to distract her little mind from the failure. Soon you heard the door opening and you immediately lifted your head to catch Yunho's gaze as he entered the room, fully packed. “Here's my little family !” He says, the cutest smile on his face. He let down his bags just so he could rush to kiss you. “I hate being far away from you.” He whispers after kissing you. It was only two days but you missed him so much. “ Come here little Pumpkin.” Yunho says, rushing to his now one year old. “You've grown so much, in just two days !!” You couldn't help but smile. The baby laughed at all the kisses he left on her soft skin as if it tickled her. He put her back on the mattress, to go and grab a little package from his suitcase. “Hey. We said we would give her presents at the party.” You complain. You wanted to give her all of her beautiful new toys. But your husband had another idea. He sat on the mattress next to you. Your daughter was standing, playing with her cubes on the bench and she turned her head to her dad with the biggest smile. She reached out her little hand to her father, who urged her to join him. For a few seconds, the toddler looked for balance before she did it. One foot after the other, she took her first step before your perfectly amazed eyes. She lost balance in her father's arms who looked at her with so much pride. You couldn't hold back the little tear of pride. “You did it, Pumpkin! Just like the little champ you are.” He greeted her. You clapped your hands to congratulate her and she joined you, with all her joyful heart. “I'm so proud of you ! That's a big step, just on your birthday !” How amazing that was. “ She was trying for a few days, but kept falling in the end.” You informed your husband. “She waited for us to be reunited. Now she's going to run everywhere.” He says, wishing you both good luck. But you knew he couldn't wait to chase after his daughter.

It was the most perfect day ever. You had the best party at home for your son’s first birthday. Everyone was there, the boys even wore their alter-ego costumes for the birthday boy’s delight. He couldn’t help but giggle all day long, watching his dad and uncles playing cute. You had to admit it was quite fun to see them play. When the little party ended, you three met again to blow out the candles one last time. It was a great emotion to see that your baby was already growing so fast. Yeosang had also had bright eyes all day, he shared your emotion. You had tried for a long time to have that little piece of you, that today you cherished the least of the moments by his side. Now you were gently playing on the playmat, when you saw the baby yawning vividly. “That big day was exhausting, right ?” You say to the sweet and discreet boy, crawling to his dad, who catches him real fast, to hug him tight. “We should go to bed, buddy.” Yeosang says, patting his son’s hair, which was so endearing. “One last pic, first !” You say, while grabbing your polaroid camera, that followed you through your pregnancy and the first year of your dear boy. The flash of the camera blinds you for a few seconds, before printing the image. “Who do you want to go to bed with, baby ?” You ask the little one. He clenches himself even more against his father, showing how much he wished that it was him who accompanied him to the arms of Morpheus. “Seems like it'll be me for today.” Says your partner. “Imma sing him to sleep, I'll be back in a bit.” A wave of kisses to your husband and your son and a hug later, he disappeared in the baby's room.

You could hear him sing from the living room, where you were still seated. He used to sing lullabies to the baby when he was in the womb. He did it for the whole nine months of your pregnancy and now he practically was the only one who was able to put him to sleep. His voice was soothing the baby the way nothing or nobody does. It was pure magic.

You take a look at the Polaroïds you took earlier, and it was the most heartwarming thing you've ever seen. The three of you were all smiley and purely happy. Compared to the first pic you took as a family, your boy looked so grown up. You grab the white box that was hidden under the couch. In there, there was every little memory of that first year. Your pregnancy test, your first ultrasound, the bracelet the baby wore in the hospital. There also was the little thing that announced his name and his birthday. His first beanie, his first socks, his tiny handprint, but most of all, every picture you took, through this whole year. “Darling ?” Yeosang says, through the room. “Are you okay ?” There's no doubt, he got all your emotions. He knew you so well. “Y-Yes ! I was going down memory lane. All of this feels like it was yesterday.” You say, emotions tangling your voice. “I know. But this one, this is my favorite memory.” He pointed to the polaroid Yunho took the day before you gave birth to your treasure. Yeo was holding you so close, his hands resting on your baby's home, there was sunset behind you. It was an amazing picture. “I remember that night, everything went so amazingly, and everything that happened next, made me love you even more” Your heart bursted so fast, as he said those words. “I love our family so much.” You say, resting your head on his shoulder, and taking the first sleepers your baby wore in the hospital. “Do you remember when he was so tiny ? You could fit his two little feet in your hand !” An emotive smile took place in your face. “Yeah. He was so small I was afraid to break him.” He confesses, wrapping an arm around you. “We should write him a note, for when we’ll give him this box.” He suggests and you nod real fast, you take a paper and a pen. “Wanna go first ?” You ask by handing her the pen. "We should both do that instead. You write?" You nod and both of you start thinking about what to write. Finally the word is written by itself and you come out, your heart swollen with tenderness. Everything was perfect.

To our treasure.

You who were so expected and we loved from the first seconds. You are the most beautiful thing that ever happened to us. You are loved, pampered and protected from the first day to the last. You can always count on us. Be who you want, make your life a dream. Be happy. Live, laugh, love, cry. Mom and dad will always be there to support you.

Our little warrior, our little angel, you will never be alone.

We love you with all the intensity of the world.

Thank you for this year and the ones to come.

With love, Mom and Dad.

I really hope you appreciated it, do not hesitate to reblog or to leave a note i’d love to read all about your thoughts. ✿ MAKNAE LINE COMING REAL SOON ©evandsolo, 2O24

AITA: My (F31) best friend (F33) got angry at me for not organizing her a bigger birthday celebration.

I've known my best friend for 10 years, we've been through a lot, we used to work together and now we don't anymore, so we only see each other for birthdays and celebrations, and we text each other as we need to, not everyday nor once a week, more like twice a month.

Usually on my birthdays she and our other best friend (M37) go all the way out to celebrate me. It's been a dynamic we've had since we met, that in our birthdays we try to go all in, with surprises, usually weekends spent somewhere else (like the beach or mountain) and basically doing a lot for the birthday person, it's not always perfect but most of the times it's big.

Now last year, we tried to organize for her a good birthday celebration, we went to have dinner at the beach and then to a kind of amusement park close to it (we're not from the US), it was expensive and supposed to be nice but it rained and the restaurant we were supposed to go was closed so we went to another one and basically I could tell she didn't like it. She didn't say anything except that she and her girlfriend didn't like to go out that much anymore because of drinking and driving, so like they felt more comfortable drinking at home. And that was her excuse for like, not having fun then.

So this year we planned a home party for her. We went all in with liquor and different cocktails, more expensive stuff that we usually don't do, snacks and everything, but due to convenience (her house being the biggest and having enough rooms for all of us to sleep in) we decided to throw her the party in her own house. I asked her and her gf if that was okay, if they liked the plan and she said yes, that she'd always welcome us gladly... it was supposed to be an opportunity to be stupid silly drunk without any of the risks or stress of doing it in a public place.

Fast forward to the very same day of the party... her girlfriend was in charge of getting some edibles for us to eat at the party and she tells me none of her suppliers has product available. I don't know anything about buying that kind of stuff, it's always their thing to get that for the group, so we tried a couple of options and basically we didn't have any weed for the night.

So she texted me asking, since we had no weed, if we had another plan for the night... I'm like ??? no??? we did have enough alcohol to get super wasted, so in my mind I was like: even tho it's sad we won't have weed, there's still everything else we had already purchased for the party.

She then sends me a 7 min voice note saying that she needed to be honest with me, that our friendship could survive this because we were both adults and I should be able to listen to this without it offending me, but basically she felt bad because she thought she deserved better than just a house party, in her own place where she's everyday... that all of our parties she did everything to make it special, and started naming examples of this, but that since last year she'd felt we didn't do the same for her. That last year we went to places she'd already been in, and this year we were doing the party at a house? when none of our celebrations were ever at our houses... and stuff like that.

She also mentioned that though it's true that she's been forgetting to get us christmas presents for the past two years (which is true) it's not fair for her to get this kind of celebration, when we are three people (me, my other friend and her gf) to divide expenses with...

So, AITA for not planning a bigger party for her? I genuinely thought that the house celebration was going to be good, I'd like something like that for my own bday party. I also feel like, if she felt like this she should've told me before, not the exact day of the party at noon. I feel like she only said this to make me feel bad and I'm still so angry, but when I've talked about it with people irl they only say that she should've mentioned it before... but they do think that her comments are valid, as in, she's right we should've done something bigger for her... so I'm genuinely asking 🙏🏽

GIRL OK I'm going to vent. If u want to read that'd be great cause I want to know if I'm in the wrong here lol. It's long tho so no need <3

Last monday was my birthday, it's a sucky day to have as a bday so what I did was invite my friends over for dinner on sunday, wait till midnight, blow the candles, eat some cake, open presents, and send everyone on their way at about 1 am so all of us could sleep relatively early. These were like, my "important" birthday plans, because they happened on my actual birthday. I invited my closest friends + 2 girls my friends have been dating for about 7/8 months, because a) I like them! and b) I knew they were spending that weekend over at my friends' places anyway so bringing them was easier than not.

Context for later: The 2 friends with the girlfriends are male, those are the only 2 partners that are external to the friend group, there's 9 of us, and we've been friends for about 10 years.

Anyway, so when I set that plan up on the gc, I explicitly asked both my friends to bring their girlfriends. They told me they would, they did, everything went great. After sunday's plan, I proposed we go out to dinner and then for drinks this saturday so I could have like proper bday plans that don't get cut short because everyone has to get up early for work. Everyone said they could come. Great, no issues so far.

Issues start yesterday, in a gc I'm NOT in that my friends made so they could discuss my present for sunday + a surprise cake (that now I know about lol) for saturday. This is not uncommon, we have bday groupchats for everyone in the group. One of my friends (girl) proposes the surprise cake, and apparently one of my male friends says that his gf can make the cake (as a gift) because she works as a baker. My friend (girl) says that it's not a good idea, since it be weird to have her make a cake for a plan she's not invited to. Apparently this caught both my male friends off guard, because they were under the impression that both their gfs were invited and had already told them about the plan. Now, to be clear, I didn't invite them and at no point did I imply they were invited. Not necessarily because I didn't want them there specifically, but rather because I wanted a night out with just my friends. These 2 girls come to a lot of our plans as a group, but when they do it's because we either tell them to, or our friends ask if they can come. NEITHER OF THESE 2 THINGS HAPPENED!! I want to clarify though, I didn't and still don't feel strongly about them not coming, and if it had been up to me, I would have liked both my friends to reach out to me and let me know that they had misunderstood, that they thought the girls were invited and that they had already invited them, and I would have told them to bring them!! like it really wasn't a big deal. Instead they got upset and told their girlfriends that they couldn't come because I DIDN'T WANT THEM THERE, which sounds sooooo much more drastic than what it actually is. So I find myself in a very shitty situation with NO WARNING (because again, this started in a gc I'M NOT IN!!!), when one of my friends sends me this really long message about how sad and hurt he is and asking me if I'm mad a him or his gf or whatever, and how he had hoped that I would think of her as my friend after all this time. To clarify she's not my friend, she's my friend's gf (that I really like!!), and "all this time" is 8 months lmao. Now these 2 girls think that I hate them, and I have to apologize for something I DIDN'T DOOOOOO. Like this wasn't my misunderstanding, I wasn't even on the gc!! and like what options do I have, realistically? Telling them to backtrack and invite them back gives major "you can come, IF YOU WANT" vibes and I hate that, and telling them that, no, they're not invited sounds like I don't like them or want them there. Like both my options suck.

Things have smoothed over now with my friends but I know they're mad about their gfs being hurt and SO AM I but like, it's not my fault!!! They (my friends) assumed they (their gfs) were invited when they weren't!! But again, it wasn't something I felt strongly about! like honest to god idk why they didn't just tell me they had invited them because they thought they were invited before stirring the pot behind my back. Now everything's a mess and things are tense because the rest of the gc sided with me. And I'm not gonna lie I'm kinda mad that they made this my problem on my bday week. Like couldn't you have waited a week to bring it up?? Anyway that's it lmao

Hey hope you’re feeling well, I don’t know the pain of loosing a pet yet, but we’ve had some scares as well. My German Shepherd turned 13 this year and he’s my first ever pet that I got when I was 6 as a bday present.

He has hip dysplasia and we thought he was gonna be crossing the rainbow bridge back in January because he had gotten pretty bad at one point. It wasn’t the case thankfully and he’s still here. Though the scare that day was unreal, I didn’t know whether I should’ve be bawling my eyes out and my heart felt like it was in my throat.

He has his good and bad days, I try not to let my mind linger on the fact we probably won’t have him for long and I just spend as much time as I can with him.

Going off the picture of your cat, I could already see how sweet she was. Sorry for the loss of your sweet girl and I hope you feel better soon ☺️❤️

*Spamming virtual hugs*

Aww, thank you!

Yeah, it can be awful to lose a pet... I remember how we lost our Belgian shepherd called Riepu (Rag in Finnish) about 8 years ago on my birthday. She was my mother's dog and she was heartbroken.

The same thing happened 2 years ago just a week before my birthday when my father's Belgian shepherd Malina died... She and my father did everything together.

I hope you can still care for your dog and make great and amazing memories with him. Those memories will stay with you and they will hurt, at least in my case, but maybe they can also warm one's heart.

Thank you, Tikkari was truly one of a kind. I miss her and he meowing and how she would rub her head against my hand.

Aww, thank you for the hug, I'll send one right back!

#kokikookie #thank you #I'm getting so much support #it's amazing #Thank you everyone

now that u mention it i kinda wish we knew more of ayataka. like is their canon dynamic even strong enough to be GIRL BESTFRIENDS!! or are we really just left with yeah theyre friends

ermmm well. yeah id say its strong enough to be like YIPPEE GIRL BEST FRIENDS but like, BARELY...

all of ayano&takane's interactions onscreen are

1. their first meeting at the festival

2. takane offscreen organizing a party for ayano and taking her to the gaming event (where she was gonna take haruka too anyway but he was busy). this is all sort of offscreen because its from haruka's pov. takane still calls to ask if shintaro had remembered ayanos bday and if he had gotten her a present (he hadn't) so even if this one is definitely really sweet, its sad that its not explored bc its not their pov and also haruka and shintaro end up being there anyway. here is also where takane mentions her and ayano are like "penpals", at least until ayano finishes her school year and entered their same school. basically to say they kept in contact after the festival and it made them close to a point where takane was organizing a party for her so.. id say they are best friends :3

3. their talk on aug15 abt supplementary lessons and then about well. haruka and shintaro (attacks them both with hammers) GET OUTTA HERE

4. this one might not count because it wasn't ayano, but takane thought it was. it's from when kano is playing ayano at school. i don't like this moment because the talk is basically takane talking and talking and talking about HARUKA and then asks ayano(kano) if she has a crush on anyone. this is such bullshit lmao and kano is also so mean to her on his pov. he's like takane wont shut the fuck up abt haruka and also she looks surprised im making ayano say she doesnt like anyone bc she probably thought id say shintaro. like he's so mean abt it lol mostly probably to make a point of how much kano hated posing as ayano but still. im really annoyed how its written anyway. just takane talking abt haruka exclusively then asking who does ayano have a crush on like GOD who wrote this (side eye)

5. the email ene sends to ayano saying they will save her

...And i dont think im forgetting any!

i think the strongest moment to be able to say YES of course theyre best friends is the whole gaming event/birthday party bit from over the dimension. i think its so sweet takane organizes ayano a party and even if annoying its cute that she checks if shintaro bought her a present bc she knew it was gonna make her happy. takane mentions ayano was acting a little :( abt no hbd from shintaro and takane felt bad for her lol which is why she calls haruka to check if shintaro remembered. like... the boys are still very involved and stuff and takane was gonna also take haruka to the event she takes ayano but. we can still count it as a good one👍

i was thinking abt this yesterday actually because im like. what kinda relationship do they have post str that is outside of the shintaro bullshit and it pisses me off bc its difficult to work around it when canon doesn't help much.

i think once ayano and shintaro's little circus is over (and soon also shintaro and takane's) takane is super delighted that her relationship with ayano can go beyond what she can do for her and her relationship. i think she probably noticed that her and ayano were almost exclusively spoke for and about shintaro being a jerk and his wellbeing and etc.

maybe ayano is also a lot like omg tell me stuff abt your relationship with haruka :3 like trying to gossip and takanes like man we arent 16 anymore we got a lot more other shit to talk abt right?? and ayanos like 😇NO IF I DONT FOCUS ALL MY TURMOIL ON MY STUPID LOVE LIFE I WILL BREAKDOWN SO HARD AND I DONT WANT TO <- in the inside. in the outside says aww but im curious if youve kissed haruka already :3 shintaro already sat 5cm closer to me than last time👍👏 and takanes like man this sucks. like now that she's older and all this shit's happened takane realises how silly it feels and is relieved when ayano and shintaro separate and ayano starts being more normal LOL

i think like mekatrio and even haruka, takane is a lot like hey. ur like not. OKAY. im here if u need me etcetc but i think ayano was still not in a position of opening up and much less to her since takane's all like 🤞 with shintaro. i think in the quartet haruka's the one she opens up to i answered an ask like that a little bit ago hehe haruaya BESTFRIENDS but with takane, ayano sees a lot of things in between and can't bring herself to cross the line. like not only how shintaro may prefer takane as a gf (wrong ayano is just insane) but takane prefers shintaro as a best friend?? ayano just overthinks so much lol. so its kind of a weird one until both of their respective messy relationships with shintaro get sorted out at least!! after that i think they're both relieved to be able to just be friends and hang out without making it into a therapy session abt relationships or reassurements abt IM NOT gonna date ur lame ass boyfriend . yknow. qjdnwkdjwk ayano admitting to takane she is jealous and takane being all aauuuggghhhh WHYYYYYY!!! ayano is very thankful that takane sticks by her side even after the ridiculous dynamic they went through

anyways. i also wish we got more exploration of their friendship bc its like WHAT is there. we know they were close but its just mentioned so we have no idea what the dynamic is like or what the hell they talked about other than boys. its pathetic

here we go a nice detailed chronological list to come back to whenever you so please.

• told me from the start that her toxic trait is being manipulative (& i was still surprised when i got manipulated, how naive)

• told me i am taking you from her. like, just told me i was.

• promised me nothing would happen when they went back to your room on ur bday party then came out and told me they did some things to you & then said “oh sorry, i only meant if you went back”

• she didnt like when i sent pics of us or anything yet continued on to:

• let me know before you guys had sex every time

• made sure to send pics of you guys cuddling

• wore shorts that said _____’s property the first time i went to her house 😂😂😂😂😂😂 a not so subtle bitchy woman trying to assert dominance move which is just some weird ass behavior for a grown woman

• told her i felt like you weren’t texting me much while you were away & a little later made sure to pull up all your messages together

• went to her as a woman to tell her BEFORE YOU how i was feeling because whatever SHE said was how i was gonna base my next move, i was fully ready to leave the situation at that point. she lied to me about how she feel (because she was just being nice!!! according to you). why be nice when it comes to how youre feeling?

• then you both twisted it on me saying i went behind backs to tell her when i didnt even tell her any details of mine & yours talk. she asked me how it went and my words exactly “good, he feels the same as me” (as in you liked me back, we hadnt decided to be monogamous at this point so thats all i meant)

• she told you i manipulated you and got into YOUR head. acted like i was cowgirling you from her when that was not my goal or intention from the start and i made that clear.

• sent me her using your socks “that she stole” as heating pads for her face?? why would you send that to me of all people

• started telling me you were arguing with her about coming out for her bday.

her: “i hate when i say ok and people just KEEP arguing”

me:” whos bothering my ______?😤”

her: “😂your boyfriend😂” *followed by a long paragraph insinuating that you guys are arguing about it

me: “im off for your birthday, want me to come hangout?”

her: “no i dont care at all. like AT ALL”

(only wanted YOU for her bday. little did she know i was gonna ask u to split a present with me for her and to get a cake delivered cus she wanted one really bad. but nah, not after that)

• wouldnt let me save our convos on snapchat always got upset if i saved anything incriminating her

• shared weird shit on facebook that was obviously for me or you to see

• other girl told me she got similar behavior from her, unprovoked, she just started telling me about it

• weird things went on until i blocked her in january

so yeah! call it beef or whatever you want. but try putting yourself in my shoes, how would you have felt about this behavior from an ex towards you, truly? especially when youre trying to tell your partner these things occurring and you’re getting little emotional validation on the subject and being accused of just trying to ask them to cut off their friend. on MULTIPLE occurrences.

so the day i blew up was my last fucking straw. im not dumb, i saw her slowly creeping back in. you rejoined the discord, she was messaging you more. you were very open with your things i just saw this shit on your screens openly. i went to discord my friends on your account & noticed your messages with her were deleted. now its come to hiding shit. i wouldnt have given a single shit if it was your friend on her account. im nowhere near as unreasonable as you believe i am.

now imagine its my last straw, i feel i cant even bring it up because of how the conversations have gone in the past. so i say “im sorry im done”, because i WAS done with THAT WEIRD SHIT.

you’re supposed to be on your lady’s side but it always felt like me against both of you. which is just not fucking cool dude…

closed starter for @sachurisu.

longing for family was a persistent instinct for ruka. it was still hard and conversations with her mother were usually disposed to be brief. much like that day's. ruka blamed no one in particular for this nor did she feel aggrieved for the path that she had chosen for herself causing this 'existential' dilemma. not in a million years. she has once said that she would dance until she died. the same is true within the present. she's just lucky to be making money off it as an aside. though her time away from home paled in comparison to sana, the feeling of rootlessness, nostalgia, and alienation didn't wound much less. despite her matnae status in her own group, she didn't exactly feel plush with the idea of sharing her woes with the younger members. in fact, she doesn't know who to turn to in general.

"what's it like?" ruka, conscientious in how to put it into words, mused out loud, albeit with some context missing, as they pressed feet along the most happening streets of sinsa-dong. it was both a passing thought and an inquiry meant for the other but it was said so casually it almost felt like it wasn't meant to be heard. they continued to trod throughout the length of the pavement that bore the load of several dessert places without ruka elaborating on her cliffhanger of a question—attention span be damned. "there!" she stopped in her tracks upon spotting a familiar store, finger neat in pointing at the bakery with the sign that spelled 'yammy cake'.

dark red locks flew past her shoulders at the opening of the glass door. "the desserts here are soooo good. i got a cake here before. pharita dropped the box and i kid you not, it honestly was still perfectly intact. i totally vouch for this place." she gushed up until the two of them reached the counter. eyes scanned from one end to the other, finding every new thing on the display fascinating enough to send forth a string of gleeful gasps. "wow, last time i was here the menu was completely different." the two spent an unreasonable amount of time ordering drinks and desserts as if either of them could really finish all of it in one sitting, but the rush and excitement of seeing beautifully decorated desserts transfixed them into a compulsive expenditure.

"sorry, i meant to ask, what's it like to be away from family for this long? as in, not living with them and everything." finally, the long-awaited question had been concluded and it happened with ruka mindlessly dipping her fork onto multiple slices of cakes, trying each from the variety that they had purchased.

just behind the day's companion, a staff was approaching with a surprise. unbeknownst to sana, ruka had called in prior to their visit to order a customized cake intended for the older's upcoming birthday. her lips pressed down against each other, the soft palate dropping to allow air to pass through her nose, producing the mm sound. eyes swelled with anticipation and her hands meet together for a clap—going once, twice, then paving the way for a gentle applause accompanied by a muted happy birthday song. she at least wanted to make sure there were no unnecessary attention drawn to them lest they be crowded with people taking pictures. lucky for them, it wasn't that much of a busy day and extra steps to be discreet wasn't exactly demanded.

the song wrapped up and the pair was greeted with gel letterings spelling out "happy bday sana" on a generously burnished, deeply golden surface of the cake, the sides of it patchy from the absence of a crust. she wanted to specifically get a basque cheesecake because from trying it in the past, she recognized the taste. it was this distinct creme caramel flavor, the aerated, velvety custard-like texture reminiscent of the cottony, soufflé-style cheesecake back home that she figured sana might find comfort in just like herself. "try it, try it. no butter. no flour. and it still looks perfect. how cool is that? i bet it tastes amazing."

#voiceover: ruka #para: ruka #sachurisu #um... i got carried away lmfao sorry! i hope this is ok #honestly no pressure abt matching the length i just wanted to set the scene as much as i could ;-;#also maybe me trying to impress my friend's boo djadjl

presenting: eleven elaine skellington.

so, obviously eleven is the adopted daughter of jack & sally, as well as sister to my oc seven & gamecn’s oc thirteen.

she’s twenty-three years old.

rachel sennott fc.

polyamorous, biromantic, & bisexual.

basically, eleven has a lot of love to give, but you have to earn it to receive it.

alrighty, here’s the dealio, eleven is like her mother: a living doll (though eleven is porcelain, not rag). no one knows who created her. doctor finkelstein refutes the claim that he is responsible and no evidence as been found to make one disbelieve him.

see, eleven wasn’t found in halloweentown. she was found in valentine village (what i hc the town behind the heart door is called). it was a very confusing time for all of the valentine folks to see this obviously halloween kid in their town. no one has figured out how she got there.

but she is very welcomed in the valentine community, even so much as having close friends & visiting the place constantly.

she was brought to halloweentown on september eleventh (11.11) the year before auradon was established. at just a year old, she could already walk and say full words. jack & sally were smitten by this little girl made of cloth, pulling her into the family as their child. as her creation date is unknown, sep 11 is her honorary bday.

this date is also where she got her name from.

speaking of her name, she goes by the full “eleven,” but some people call her “ellie” if they think a number is a silly name.

like how seven sometimes goes by “sev.”

she has a golden doodle named “four hundred forty four.” yes, this is a long name. why such a long name? eleven enjoys numerology—especially angel numbers. sequences of fours symbolize stability. if one sees fours in a sequence, then they are putting down roots or grounding themself. she knows that if she’s ever feeling doubt about her place in life, she can look at her dog & feel sure in herself once more.

plus, seven had already claimed “two” for his cat.

two & 444 don’t like each other. zero & 444 are besties, tho.

speaking of numerology, eleven is a number about being at one with the universe & one’s self / inner wisdom.

even if her name didn’t come from this meaning, she’s delighted with it anyways for the same reason she likes 444′s name—she can look at herself & feel sure because she’s always going to have her own wisdom & the universe on her side.

eleven wants to be an electrician. she is currently under apprenticeship for this work.

since she’s a doll, she can remove her limbs. each part of her body can come apart & be put back on. this is good for her since she can just send an arm or a hand to do a thing that’s too far for her.

she is glued at each limb & her neck. se also has minor glue spots where she has chipped before.

she has a whole lot of tattoos. they cover up the glue lines holding her together. her favorite is the barbed wire around her throat.

eleven absolutely adores her family. especially her brothers.

she jokes that she’s the odd one out—only one to not have a previous life, only one to not be twenty, only one to be a girl—but she doesn’t ever feel left out.

while she wouldn’t kill for her family, she would make anyone who hurts them have a miserable rest of their life. no one touches a skellington & gets away with it. not if eleven has anything to say about it.

i’ve mentioned before that i think the skellingtons would be kind of ostracized in royal auradon circles for being figurehead royals. eleven, as crown princess (only in name as jack will never die & therefore never leave his throne), is far too aware of this. it’s always her name on the invitations to royal functions. it’s always her name in the mouths of snobby royals.

it’s the same with those of halloweentown who have conflicted feelings. they feel that if their king will never die, what is the purpose of calling his kids “prince(ss)?” why even have children in the first place? they aren’t even royal by blood, only adoption.

she tries to not let it get to her, but it’s hard sometimes.

when she’s off the clock, she & seven dress a lot alike. comfy & oversized sweaters, dark colors, lots of layers. the main difference is that eleven uses blues, reds, & blacks while seven uses oranges, blacks, & neutral tones.

however, she has a secondary aesthetic of “goth, but make it fusion.” if you’ve ever heard of hawiian goth or cowgoth—that’s what i’m talking about.

freckles!! they aren’t natural, but eleven takes the time to put a brown eyeliner to her face & a toothbrush w/ brown eyeshadow to her cheeks every morning.

#tw: zero skellington #*eleven #eleven —☆— headcanons #//#I COULD HAVE SWORN SALLY HAD FRECKLES WHICH IS WHY I MADE 11 HAVE THEM #BUT LOOKING BACK SALLY DOESN'T HAVE THEM??? WHAT!!#however 11 is keeping her makeup freckles bc i think it's adorable.#anygays we have all three of the skelle sibs for the first time since the rpg they were formed in dissolved!!#decided to take her on myself bc no one contacted me about becoming her mun (which was expected but ya know...#a three way thread could have been super fun)#i remember someone asking if the skelle sibs were named in birth order (ex: seven was seventh born)#which while not true is funny to look back on #(nah it was lucky 7 & unlucky 13 & then we had a third sib slot open & both times it was filled it was a girl named 11)#(it was even our urls lol lvckyscvcn & unluckythirteen. those blogs are still up... memories.)#i'm going to get off my nostalgia horse or else these tags will go on forever lol

Hiii ❤️ oh dear, its so hot here currently, which brought me to an idea that I would happily request. A Bucky Barnes one where the avengers (including the fem. reader) are having a day off and enjoy the time at the pool. Buck and her keep playing with the water and tease each other (they have a crush on each other tho) and the others start making bets on you to finally make a move. Then Buck does something mean like throwing her in the water but she pulls him with her and they end up kissing or smth? I hope this is not weird and maybe you want to write something like that 😊😊 I'd appreciate this very much (and it would make my bday today a looot sweeter)

Sweet Nonnie!!! I am so so sorry I missed this yesterday for your birthday!! I hope you had a beautiful day 🎉 Consider this a birthday present to make it last a little longer!

I ever so slightly changed the end but I hope it still tickles your pickle 👉🏻🥒 a beautiful request from a beautiful soul!

If you would like to make a request, hit me up baby 💌

Warnings: A tiny bit of blood, but nothing awful I promise. Fluff and flirting 🍹

----------------------🍉-----------------

There were some perks to being an Avenger, and today with the world too hot to start a war, you and the rest of your team mates were able to enjoy the hospitality of Tony and his pool. That was a great perk.

Another perk of a day like this was you got to spend a day messing around with Bucky. A shirtless Bucky no less. A tanned, dripping Bucky. Nat had slapped your arm at least four times to stop you from staring, but honestly it was so hard not to look.

For your part, you did your best to return the favour to him. You had donned your cutest bikini, a big floppy hat and some pretty sandals. Your eyes flashed to him when you walked along the poolside and stopped at a lounger directly opposite him, just to check he was looking. He was.

You then spent a stupidly long time applying sunscreen. You made a subtle show of spreading your legs to apply the stuff to your thighs, massaging your boobs and sighing as you did so. Another quick glance showed he was watching. You smiled slightly and lay back, hoping for a little tan and a little bit more maybe?

---------------------🍉------------------

After a while you were bored of lounging and the cool water beckoned you. It took you a little while to wade in and in that time Bucky and Steve had decided to canonball into the water, causing you to shriek as the cold water splashed you.

Finally you lunged forward and managed to get a few lengths in before their horseplay stopped you. Steve managed to convince Wanda to join and play 'Chicken Fight' against you and Bucky. He didn't even give you a chance to decide before he was lifting you up on his shoulders, firm hands squeezing your thighs.

Steve raised his eyebrows at the move but said nothing as Wanda was gearing up to knock you down. You put up a good fight but you were pretty sure she used some of her powers to send you and Bucky sinking. As you attempted to resurface you felt his arms grab your waist and pull you to the surface until you were suddenly face to face. After some trash talk you had another go, then another, then another. You spent a good part of an next hour falling into the water, only occasionally managing to topple the young witch.

All the while Bucky's hands squeezed at your thighs, ran his hands along your soft skin, while you stroked your fingers along his cheek, held his hands and even very occasionally squeezed your thighs around his head. But that was only because of the game. Nothing more. Promise.

Eventually Steve and Wanda got tired of beating you both and left. You and Bucky remained. "Bucky let me down" you giggled and he turned his head, his lips brushing against your inner thigh, "You sure about that sweetie?" And you huffed which suddenly turned into a scream when he threw you backwards. You emerged spluttering and proceeded to splash Bucky as much as you could in retaliation.

-----------------------🍉-------------------

"Can you believe those two?" Sam muttered over a cocktail, planting himself next to Nat on a sun lounger. "I know, it's so cute it's sickening" she replied. They both watched as you and Bucky flirted with each other. You had sat on the pool edge, Bucky leaning his arms on your thighs. "It's the puppy eyes that does it for me" said Sam as Nat hummed in agreement.

"10 bucks he kisses her first" Nat said, reaching out for Sam's hand. "I'll take that bet, he's a goddam wuss, she'll do it first."

When your teeth started chattering you decided it was time to get out and warm up poolside. You both retreated to your loungers opposite each other and shared a small smile as you towled down.

"Have fun?" Nat said suggestively and you chuckled "Uh huh, very nice." You laid down and closed your eyes letting the sun warm you up.

---------------------🍉-------------------

"Bucky DON'T"

You heard Nat's voice which woke you from your doze, but before you really opened your eyes you were shocked when ice cold water splashed all over your hot body. You screamed as your eyes met Bucky's, standing over you with a little bucket in his hand.

"You jerk!!!" You squealed jumping off the lounger and running after him as he fled around the edge. As you chased him you slipped on the wet tiles and fell, your knee making a horrible thud as you landed on it.

You groaned as you rolled over and winced at the bloody knee. Suddenly Bucky was kneeling at your side, "Shit Doll, I'm so sorry! Fuck, are you ok?"

"It's ok Buck, just a graze" you grimaced and tried to stand. He swatted your arms and scooped you up and carried you into the kitchen, placing you on the counter as he searched around for a first aid kit.

"Hey, Buck, honestly I'm ok" you chuckled as he slammed doors until he found it. You watched his face as he cleaned your cut and applied a plaster. You grabbed his hand, "Youu there?" You said and he finally looked at you. "Sorry, just.... I was messing around, didn't mean for you to get hurt sweetie."

You smiled, rubbing your hands up and down his arms. " You wanna make it up to me?" He cocked an eyebrow and smiled at you, "Ok?" You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him close. "Kiss it better?"

As Bucky's lips connected with yours a large whoop came from outside and you giggled as the gang clapped and dispersed, Nat holding out her hand to Sam. You turned back to Bucky and smiled, before pulling him back into a much longer kiss.

----------

~ Warnings: Top! Sukuna, Bottom! Sakura, CEO office, office fucking, getting caught by the secretary, secretary! Yuji, sugarbaby! Sukuna, sugarmomm! Sakura, abusing of the cervix, more than one round, desk sex, hot fucking sex

~ Reader: Sakura Akuma, she/her, CEO Sugar Momma

~ Plot: Sukuna has to earn the money to get his mommy a gift..~

~ Words: 2.572k

~~~

Thank you for reading this bit! Enjoy!!

----------

Sakura sat in her chair, rocking from side to side, and looking over documents for the upcoming meeting set by Gojo Satoru, her boss.

She was set to sell and buy some more stocks from the little florist shop down the street that was out of business and was selling the lot it was built over. The family that formerly owned the area sold it to Sakura's company shortly after it closed and wasn't planning on using the old store any longer.

This was perfect for her business, but Sakura was still working on someone to sell the place to. Which is why the meeting next Friday around 10 am was important, but Sakura couldn't focus.

Her mind was stuck in a constant loop of her husband, Sukuna; her sugarbaby.

She had been dying to see him all day and give him love and a few gifts, but he was at work downstairs. The couple worked at the same company, but Sukuna was a few floors down, so that made it almost impossible to see him for a few hours before he had to return after a quick 10 minutes.

That was until the lock on her office door clicked and a tattooed male with pink hair and red eyes walked into the room, a clean black suit with a silver chain adorning his neck and a gold ring on his finger.

"Hey, baby."

"Oh, hi?" Sakura's brow twitched, seeing her thoughts just magically manifesting at her office door wasn't normal.

"Aren't you supposed to be working?"

"I got the next hour off, so I thought about visiting," Sukuna smiled, a glow in his eye as he stepped closer. "I missed you, curse."

Sakura's cheeks flushed, forcing her to look at her paperwork. Jotting down a few notes, the creak of her desk's top made Sakura look up, seeing Sukuna looking over her work along with her.

"This about the meeting thing Friday?" He asked, lifting one of the papers and scanning it.

"Y-Yes, 'Kuna."

He hummed, giving you the paper and standing to walk around the desk, standing behind her chair. Sukuna reached around the head of it and gently began massaging Sakura's shoulders, his large rough hands working wonders on the tense nerves and muscles.

"Oh, baby, you're so tense," Sukuna's voice purred, pressing his thumbs harder on a nerve and a groan left Sakura.

"That sounded like that felt good~"

"Sh-Shut up, just keep doing it," Sakura retorted, sending a glare up at the cocky male. "Did you want something?"

"Nothing too big, but it's a present I wanted to get you. But, I don't have enough money for it. Can't you float me a couple bucks so I can?"

"Babe, if I wanted a new dress, I'd go buy it myself."

"Oh, it wasn't a dress, sweetheart. It's something you'd find more... interesting to say the least."

Well, it must be something important to him. He looks dead set on getting it.

Sakura sighed, standing up and stepping in front of her husband. Running her hands over his crossed arms and down to his waist, she looked down at the red tie he decided to wear with his ensemble.

"...Do you really want it?"

"Mhm," Sukuna nodded, rocking his hips as if he wanted more attention. "I promise you'll love it."

"Hmm.."

Running her hands up Sukuna's sides, she felt a slight shiver under her touch when she reached his spine.

She did this many times; if Sukuna wanted something, he'd have to work for it, and he always succeeded in his mission. Sakura always enjoyed making her baby work towards a goal, it always made him a better pet and more obedient for future tasks and gifts.

Though, she did enjoy letting Sukuna off for the day and giving him what he wanted, but today was different.

Like Sukuna had said, she did.

It wound up sounding really interesting, actually. And if it was something Sukuna wanted, Sakura had to make him happy. She loved treating her sugarbaby to a special treat like new sets of suits or pretty rings and chain necklaces.

But, today, she wanted to relieve stress, and Sukuna showing up was like perfect timing.

Sakura reached up and pressed her lips to his, warm and soft.

She loved them; she loved kissing them, nibbling on them. Watching Sukuna bite them when she's giving head or riding him, making him bottom by force. And thankfully, he showed up and she had around an hour to have her way with him.

"What?" Sukuna asked, smirking a little. "What was that for, princess?"

Sakura smiled, hooking her arm around Sukuna's waist and grabbing his ass, making him jump.

"Oh, you should know, darling~"

This is how it always started.

Sakura would make a move, Sukuna would question the action, and so on and so forth. Sukuna usually got the jist after a moment or two, which he did, snaking his hand around his wife's hip and flipping her around.

A creak leaving the desk as Sukuna sat her on the wood, forcing her to spread your legs and press his groin against her heated nethers.

"So it's like that?" He asked, running his hands down her sides with a smirk on his face. "I gotta work for it, right?"

"Mhm," Sakura whispered, hooking her fingers around Sukuna's neck and pulling him in for another kiss.

A moan left Sukuna's lips at this, his hands reaching the dip in her hips and trailing down to the plump of her thighs. He was dying to put his face between them, to lick and bite and mark them up for all her co-workers to see, but he knew he'd get punished for it.

And the punishment was usually not getting to cum or touch himself to fix it, which he didn't really want to deal with, so he wasn't going to be as bratty as normal.

"Oh you love kisses, huh?" Sakura asked, a tease to her tone. "Little baby..~"

Sukuna kissed down her neck, lifting her legs up to rest on his shoulders as he knelt before her sex. Glancing up at her core, he noticed a small spot of wetness that was staining her lace panties and stockings. A smirk lifted the corners of his lips, seeing the effect he had on Sakura always made him smile.

"Needy, aren't you, baby girl?" He teased, lifting her dress a little to pull down the stockings and underwear.

"Shut up, 'Kuna," Sakura bit her lip, leaning back a little.

Sukuna chuckled, finally dropping the clothing to the floor and tracing a finger around her clit, a whimper leaving her. Moving his fingers downward, he latched his lips to the sensitive bud and swirled his tongue around it, dipping a finger into her cunt as a moan escaped the girl.

A proud smile adorned Sukuna's lips as he sucked and licked up Sakura's pussy, her hips soon grinding against his face as he added another finger into her hole.

"Keep doing that, baby, mmm~" Sakura cooed, running her fingers though Sukuna's pink hair and tugging gently.

"Doing so good- mm!"

Laying her down onto the desk, Sukuna did as he was told and continued his movements. Having her blushing and moaning up a storm as he ate her like his last meal, the knot in her tummy threatened to burst as Sakura pressed her thighs to Sukuna's face.

A moan left Sukuna, feeling her thighs against his face was heaven for him. Making his baby cry out and writhe underneath him was what he felt built for, what he went to the gym to do.

Make himself stronger and better for her, even though she told him time and time again he was perfect.

"Aah, yeah 'm gonna cum, 'Kuna~" Sakura whimpered, her nether lips tightening around Sukuna'd digits with want. "Make me cum, baby~"

"I will, don't worry, love," Sukuna cooed, kissing her neck and biting down on her inner thigh.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sakura came undone and came all over Sukuna's lips. The sweet taste of her juices made Sukuna groan, dying to make it happen again on his cock instead as he stood up.

Wiping the excess off his chin, his cheeks burned at the sight of his wife.

The state she was in— a flustered mess, hair slightly disheveled —made his cock twitch in his pants. Straining against the fabric as he gripped her hips and grinding her pussy against him.

"Oh? Like when I do this, hmm?" Sukuna asked, hooking his around around her lower back and keeping her in place.

"Wanna be fucked like a good girl, yeah?"

"M-Mhm~" Sakura wrapped her arms around Sukuna's neck, closing her eyes and lightly humping Sukuna's crotch in earnest.

Undoing his pants, Sukuna pulled off his pants and undid his shirt. Sakura blushed at the sight of his chest and pecks, the tattoos were like his happy trail down to his double ringed shaft.

Seeing the proud thing stand to attention as Sukuna searched for a condom in Sakura's drawer and his pants, but he couldn't. A fake sigh of disappointment escaped him, but he wasn't going to stop because of a missing condom.

"C'mon, spread your legs more, princess," Sukuna bit his lip, a hand on Sakura's hip and the other firmly holding his cock.

Giving a few needed strokes before he pressed the leaking tip to her hole, pushing in until he was fully sheathed inside. A groan left him, feeling her pulsing walls squeezing down on him as he grinded into her pussy and getting used to the warmth enveloping him once again.

Sakura rested her body against the desk again, covering her mouth to quiet any moans that might let out.

Sukuna though, didn't have any of that. He wanted your co-workers to hear you get fucked into an oblivion because of him; to hear him make you cry out his name and cum over and over because of his cock.

"Ah ah, don't cover those cute lips of yours," Sukuna said, gently moving Sakura's hand to the side and cupping her cheek.

"I want to hear you when you cum, mommy."

A shiver was sent down her spine at the nickname, Sukuna chuckling at the sharp twitch her pussy made. Holding her hips in place, Sukuna began pulling himself from her aching warmth and listened to her moans as he began a brutal pace for her.

The desk shaking and creaking as Sukuna forced his shaft into her aching hole, the sounds and smells of sex filling the office's air, his filling balls slapping her ass while Sakura's leaking liquid slicked up Sukuna's thighs. Moaning out in pure bliss as Sakura was brought closer and closer to another climax, Sukuna bringing a finger down to circle her clit and push her over the edge.

"Wanna cum, huh?" Sukuna asked, angling himself so he could hit that sweet spot repeatedly.

"You look so good like this, little curse. Like bouncing on daddy's cock, yeah? Making you feel better than anyone ever could, right?"

"Yeah, yeah! Ooh, fuck, Sukuna~!!" She cried, circling her hips and crying out when her climax hit her like a train.

Squirting all over Sukuna's pelvis and soaking his middle. He chuckled, still moving inside her as he lifted a leg over his shoulder and grinding into her spongy walls.

Sakura's fucked out expression tempting Sukuna to push her over the edge and maybe earn a present later for doing so well and making her cum her brains out.

Although the idea was tempting, he thought about how embarrassed you'd be if someone heard you screaming outside.

"Jesus Christ, doll~" Sukuna teased, slapping Sakura's inner thigh and moaning at the squeeze she gave.

"Squirting all over me? You must love being fucked stupid in your fancy office by me, huh?"

Sakura moans and whimpers spurred Sukuna on, his angry red tip surely bruising her womb before Sukuna cried out and painted her insides with his cum.

White, sticky cum poured from Sakura's pulsing lips as it dripped down Sukuna's balls and fell to the ground. Sukuna breathing heavily and panting thanks to the load he released.

"Aah, fuck," Sukuna groaned, slowly starting to move his hips again.

"Sukuna, wait- You already- a-aah!!" Sakura whimpered, feeling a knot being tied in her tummy once again.

T-Too much! 's too muuuchh~!!!

"One more, baby. Mmph, one more round so I can pump you full of my baby batter," Sukuna chuckled, pressing his chest against her own and kissing her feverishly.

Sakura moaned in his mouth, her covered tits squishing against Sukuna's firm chest as an arch in her back grinded her clit into his front.

Sukuna's own moaning and groans soon fill the room too as Sakura continues to circle and grind her clit into his pelvis.

"Fuck, baby. Squeezing down on me like that, I'll cum soon, fuckk."

Forcing his cock into her tight hole, Sukuna moaned and bit down on Sakura's neck, a mark joining the small hickeys adorning her neck. Cum shot out into Sakura's cunt, embarrassing Sukuna at how quick he came, but a reassuring hand came up to cup his cheek in her hand.

Sakura gave a small, but shaky smile and kissed him gently, the touch making Sukuna shiver.

He was never used to it, being comforted and touched as gently as Sakura did. But he melted into the touch, wrapping his arms around Sakura's lower back and nuzzling his nose into the crook of her shoulder, peppering kisses and smiling to himself.

"You can get whatever the present was, alright?" Sakura smiled, licking her lips and sucking on Sukuna's lower lip. "And a second chance at home, too."

"Thank you, curse." Sukuna whispered, feeling a soft warmth fill his chest suddenly at her hugs and kisses. "I'll do better next time.."

Sakura smiled at the down look on his face, running a finger against Sukuna's tattooed cheek and to his chin.

The next few moments were nothing but soft kisses and gently squeezes of hugs, making Sukuna's face burn in embarrassment. Sakura was always soft on him, despite him being a literal beast in comparison to her small and soft form.

She was like a marshmallow to him being a strong stick.

What, that's a bad analogy..

"Mrs. Ryomen, I'm here for the pap- Oh!"

Sakura's face heated up as she whipped her head around to see Itadori Yuji, her secretary, standing at the door and staring at the couple.

His face turned pink as he averted his gaze to the ground and covered his mouth, wide eyed and flustered.

"I-I didn't know your husband came up to see you, I'm sorry. Forgive me for the sudden intrusion!!"

"N-No, Itadori-kun, don't feel bad- I-!" Sakura stuttered, though Yuji bowed quickly and left the room.

His shadow dashing down the hall to his room, a firm slam being echoed from the door. Sakura sighed, looking over at Sukuna, whose eyes were still glued to the door.

"What?"

"That's your secretary?" He asked, looking up at Sakura, a deep glow in his eyes. "You didn't tell me he was a he, love."

Oh, shit.

Sakura braced herself for the next two hours, her screaming and moaning being echoed down the hall and to Yuji's room as Sukuna made a claim over the CEO.

-------------

Giving myself two birthday posts since I'm feeling a little bored and shit lmao.

She Really Knows Me

Florence Pugh x Reader

You celebrate Florence’s birthday!

Note: In celebration of Florence’s bday, here’s a little something fluffy with a tiny hint of spice. Also, reader’s birthday is the day after Flo’s because I self-indulged a bit and that’s my birthday. I hope you enjoy!

Masterlist

Today is Florence’s birthday and you were so excited to spoil her all day, but she had to report to set. She was really upset when she told you that she had to work. You instantly decided that you had to surprise her on set and make her day just as special as she deserves it to be.

You’ve been dating for a year tomorrow. Which happens to be your birthday. You decided to make her dinner and set up candles and roses in her trailer. Her assistant agreed to get Florence to the trailer when you are ready. Not being anywhere near as good of a cook as Florence, you make a simple chicken pasta dish and a small Victoria sponge cake.

Once you get everything set up in her trailer, you text her assistant to have Florence come to you. She walks into the trailer still in her costume and she gasps at the sight of the roses all around the room.

“Oh my god,” she says as she moves around the door and sees you standing by the table with the meal laid out perfectly.

“Happy birthday Florence!“ you tell her. Her shock turns into a smile and she basically runs to you to give you a hug. Flo is such a snuggly person and you love it.

“You did all of this for me?” She asks into your neck. You feel tears of happiness fall on your shirt.

“Yeah baby, I want you to feel as special as you are,” you say and she clings to you even tighter. “Are you okay?” You ask her, rubbing her back gently.

“I’m great, y/n,” she says and pulls away. You reach out to wipe the tears from her face. She smiles at your kindness and pulls you in for a soft kiss. You pull out a chair for her and her eyes go wide at all of the food you made her.

“I know it’s nothing special,” you start but Florence interrupts you. She grabs your hand across the table.

“You cooked for me?” She asks and you nod. “It’s immediately special then, my love. Oh! And you made Victoria sponge cake! This is the first pudding I ever loved!” She says excitedly and your heart swells.

“You told me that once, so I decided to try and make it. I hope it tastes okay. I have no idea how to make English food,” you say with a nervous laugh.

“I’m sure it’s amazing. Just like you,” Florence says with a wink. It makes you weak in your knees even while you’re sitting down.

You two eat dinner and dessert together. It turns out your cake was really good and Florence wouldn’t stop complimenting you on it. She had a long day on set, and you can tell she’s ready to rest.

When you walk into your home, she goes to change and you pop open a bottle of wine to settle in for the night.

She bounces on her feet a little bit as she walks back into the living room, no doubt a little excited for her present. She’s wearing one of your old college hoodies and sleep shorts, but you think she’s never looked more beautiful to you.

“You ready for your gift now?” You ask her as she settles down on the couch next to you.

“Uh huh,” she says adorably. You hand her a small wrapped box that she opens carefully.

Resting inside of the box is a silver chain necklace with a “F” charm dangling from it.

“You like it?” You ask her shyly, really hoping she does.

“Oh wow. Y/n, this is beautiful,” Florence says earnestly. She takes the necklace from the box and hands it to you to place on her neck.

You put in on her slowly and carefully. Even after a year, being in close proximity with Florence still sends shivers down your spine. As you clasp the necklace, you place a soft kiss on the back of her neck and hear her sigh contentedly.

“Thank you so much for today, darling,” she says as she turns back around.

“Of course. I love you,” you tell her. It’s not the first time you’ve said that to her, but it is special every time you say it.

“I love you too, babe,” Florence kisses you. The kiss gets a bit heated and soon enough she’s straddling your lap. “I have an idea of how to make your birthday arrive sooner,” she says, her accent coming through more as she’s out of breath from kissing you.

“Oh yeah?” You ask her with a smile. And she just takes your hand and leads you to the bedroom.

When you wake up the next morning, Florence has her arm draped over your middle and her face buried in your neck. You’ve always found it adorable how she sleeps so close to you.

It’s not long before Florence stirs awake too. “Good morning, baby,” you say as she stretches out next to you.

“Hmm. Happy birthday, y/n,” she says sleepily, but still excitedly. She kisses your cheek and then abruptly rolls out of the bed.

“Flo? Come back,” You tell her. You aren’t a morning person, so you always lay in bed for a while after you’ve woken up. Florence normally obliges and snuggles with you.

“Just a minute, darling. I need to do something,” she replies as she skips out of the room.

True to her word, she doesn’t take long to return to your bedroom. She crawls back into bed, but sits up against the headboard ushering you to do the same.

“For you,” she says and hands you a wrapped present. Her smile is wide as you take it from her hand.

“You didn’t have to, Flo,” you say and she scoffs affectionately at that.

“It’s your birthday, love. Let me give you things,” Florence says. She knows you secretly love gifts, but you just don’t want to seem greedy by outwardly showing that.

You open the box and you are shocked to see what’s inside. It’s almost identical to the necklace you gave her just last night. But it has your initial on the charm and is a gold chain.

“Florence,” you say being at a loss for any more words.

“I don’t know how we managed to have the same idea for a gift. I’ve had this for you for weeks now,” Florence says and you just laugh.

“I got yours a while ago too. This is amazing, Flo. Thank you so much,” You tell her and place a sweet kiss on her lips.

“Here. Let me put it on you,” she takes it from your hand. Just like last night as you did with her, she places it around your neck carefully. She moves her hands to your shoulders once she’s finished. You lean back into her front and she wraps her arms around you.

“Hey, maybe sometime we can wear each other’s necklace. Like when I go out of town to work so you can have a piece of me with you and I can have you with me?” Florence asks you. She kisses your temple lightly and you smile warmly at her idea.

“That sounds perfect, Flo,” you say, bringing her hand up to your lips to kiss the back of it.

“I love you,” Florence says softly into your ear.

“I love you too, Florence,” you say, turning to kiss her cheek. She pulls you closer and you sit that for hours before you get up.

Florence makes your birthday the most special one you’ve ever had just by being herself. You’re so in love with her and can’t wait to spend the rest of your birthdays and just every day with her.

♡ author’s note(s): guys! it’s shoto’s birthday, so here i am postiing this shoto request from anon a while back, i hope you all enoy and have celebrating the beautiful boy’s bday <3

♡ masterlist | requests

it was hard for you to sleep.

harder, when shoto wasn’t around.

sometimes it was your thoughts that kept you up; late at night— dark thoughts that swirled around in your head and slowly poisoned your brain with heavy black venom. it was hard to sleep when your mind was heavy with fear, but ever since dating shoto todoroki; those nights became easier and sleep wasn’t so hard to come by.

you weren’t so sure what it was about your boyfriend that made it easier for you to get some shut eye; it’s not like he really knew either. todoroki just didn’t like seeing you in pain, the way your face twisted with discomfort or the way sleepy tears would wet your cheeks under the moonlight— but you had somewhat of an idea, that his fresh peppermint smell and warm arms are what often helped you.

shoto would so lovingly sneak into your room, no matter the time, dusk or dawn— he would hold you tight under the sheets until you drifted off to dream land. even if it meant being teased by the others for stumbling out of your room in the morning, his pretty hair a wild mess creating the image that’d you’d both been up to no good, he’d face it all for you, over and over again.

but tonight, your loving, caring and doting boyfriend was nowhere to be seen— everyone’s second internships had begun and todoroki had chosen to work with his father along with izuku and katsuki, so it was no doubt that they wouldn’t be home until late. what with endeavour being the number one and all.

your friends knew about your struggles to sleep, of course, todoroki bluntly mentioning how you ‘like to sleep together’ to soothe your nightmares ( iida had lectured you about it after, saying it was inappropriate while deku and ochako turned as red as your boyfriend’s hair ) so offered to stay up with you— but you needed rest, today’s training sessions having taken a toll on your body, and wave them off with a smile laced with tiredness.

you could call him, he wouldn’t mind and you know it— but he’s with his father and that takes enough out of him as it is.

you decide, instead, to trudge to the dual quirked boy’s bedroom, instantly calmed by his sweet peppermint scent embedded into every inch of his dorm. you swipe one of his clean sweaters straight from the closet before hitting the lights and snuggling into his bed.

tonight would be fine, todoroki would come home, wrap you in his arms and with the aid of his scent surrounding you— you would sleep safe and soundly.

is what you hoped as you drifted off to the land of dreams.

when you were younger, you watched your older brother, haru, get hit by a car.

the scene haunts you to this very day, crawling up on you while you rest at night— choking you out in your dreams. you see it now, feet glued to the ground as you’re forced to watch the younger version of you, mess with your older brother using your new found quirk. your parents had called it scenery, back then your powerful quirk had been their pride and joy, giving you the ability to create a mirage in a certain targets mind— make them see things that weren’t really there.

back then it was fun to play tricks on your sibling— you made haru see all of his worst nightmares, everything but the road.

everything but the oncoming car.

everything but his untimely death.

you want to scream at little you— tell her to stop and that it’s not funny anymore as she forces your brother back into the road— he’s giggling, he doesn’t know it yet and neither do you. but the words you want to say die down deep in your throat, suffocating you from the inside although they burn at your lungs to burst through.

why cant you speak? why cant you stop her?

adrenaline trickles into your blood stream as you will yourself to run out into the street and protect haru from the oncoming traffic just as he slips off of the sidewalk. your senses are blown out of the water, static noise filling your ears and intertwining with childish screams and the sound of a not so distant honking horn.

you claw harshly at your throat. speak. save him. for god’s sake; do something.

“you’ll kill him! stop! you’re going to kill him!”

the flickering of artificial, yellow light behind your closed eyes has you jolting awake, sweat forming at your brow and hands clenched tightly around your boyfriend’s plain bedsheets. your gaze darts across the room while your heart thumps loudly in your ribcage from the fear that struck you in your dream and finally, your stare settles on a shirtless, bewildered shoto todoroki. his face is a little scratched up no doubt from being on his father’s patrol and he looks exhausted but that doesn’t stop the concern he has for you taking over his expression. “yn—?”

“s-sho,” you hate how your voice caves so easily, the single syllable of your nickname for him falling wetly from chapped lips. todoroki is by your side in an instant, not caring that he’s only half dressed and half awake. he’ll deal with that later.

with tender hands shoto cups the back of your head, letting you sink into the warmth of his flesh. you reach out for your boyfriend and he’s there, taking your free hand in his and giving it a gentle squeeze to help ground you. “love, what happened? why didn’t you call? you know i don’t mind—” his timbre voice fills your ears like warm honey, calming your rapid breathing but all you can do is shake your head.

“nightmare ‘n you were working,” you pant, cutting him off while the death grip on your lover’s hand begins increasing. you feel so far from the ground, the scene of haru’s death dancing across your mind. “i killed him, again—“

shoto watches your body twitch with fear and your usually glimmering eyes gloss over in away that makes him feel sick. you’re not here with him yet, still tangled up in the black string of your bad dreams. the world around the dual eyed boy begins to change and it seems you’ve activated your quirk by accident— showing him scenes of the day your brother died.

you screw your eyes shut as flashes of his body tangle with reality to the point where you don’t know what’s real and what’s not. you’re losing control of yourself so easily, fresh sets of tears stinging their way down your streaked cheeks. trapped. you feel trapped like a bird in a cage even while you’re awake and the sounds of cars and screaming burn at your ears once more.

make it stop, please.

“yn... come back to me love, i’m right here,” todoroki’s calm voice cuts through the suffocating song of death, dragging you back to reality while the effects of your quirk drift away. his fingers, although contrasting temperatures, now cup your cheeks to tilt your face towards him so that your eyes lock with his under the crescent moon. “you didn’t kill him. that wasn’t you. it wasn’t your fault.”

you blink away more tears like a helpless child, chest heaving but todoroki doesn’t give up. “but—“

“no.” your boyfriend says softly, yet sternly, leaning down to place an eskimo kiss to your nose. your eyes flutter shut at his simple gesture, although it raises saftey and warmth across your body— black radiates behind your closed eyelids, no longer plagued broken bones and blood. it’s easy to keep breathing from there, focusing on that as todoroki pulls you into his lap and the sheets fall away from your body.

“no,” you repeat back to him while shoto’s arms settle on your waist and his familiar scent of fresh peppermint fills your senses. “not my fault.”

it wasn’t your fault, that day the car had come speeding down a usually safe road in a residential area. the accident was a hit and run, but being a child made you feel every ounce of the blame. shaking the thought away you curl into your lover’s chest, listening for sounds of his heartbeat while he toys with a lose string on his sweater— the one you wear.

“that’s right, good girl...not your fault, here with me yet, love?”

when you glance up, todoroki is looking right back down at you— brows creased with worry but there’s love in his stare, overwhelming amounts that make you hum into his bare chest, grounded by the feeling of his skin against yours. “present and accounted for,” his chest rumbles with relieved laughter, soothing you even more. “thank you, sho. i’m sorry for making you do this so late at night.”

this time, shoto shakes his head— sending locks of red and white flying. “don’t thank me and don’t apologise,” his words are feather light in the dark while he manoeuvres you both onto his back to settle into bed. you’re about to mention that he’s still half in his suit, but your boyfriend doesn’t seem to care, already closing his eyes. “i’m yours, your boyfriend and i’m going to support you no matter what. i’ve got you, okay? you’re always here for me so i’ll do my best to do the same for you. what kind of man would i be if i wasn’t?”

“a very unmanly man,” you tease with a kitten like yawn, already feeling the confines of a more comfortable sleep, taking over.

todoroki rolls his eyes but pulls you closer to him anyways. “you’ve been spending too much time with kirishima.”

“at least i don’t spend everyday working with bakugou, now that’s true nightmare.” you counter, narrowly missing a pinch to the side from your boyfriend.

the pair of you sleep soundly that night, wrapped in each other’s arms. you feel safe, knowing that nothing could ever harm you, as long as you were with him. shoto todoroki would give anything for to you to have a goodnight’s rest. no matter what. even if it meant staying awake with you and being late to patrol with endeavour the next day.

not like he cared, he hated his dad anyway.

A Little Braver - 45

Hi all,

Yours truly is going on holiday tomorrow, heading for Canada. This is the present to myself for my big bday in January. I am so excited about being able to travel again. It will be cool to be on the same timezone as the majority of you and see Tumblr when it's usually day for me. Any way, since I am going away I am posting a chapter for you all.

MASTERLIST// CH.44

The following morning Aelin arrived at the station bright and early. So early that Pete’s team was still on duty.

“Cap, good morning.”

She smiled at the man “Hi you. How was the shift?”

“The night was quiet but we had a busy afternoon and we had a false alarm at a school. A kid pulled the fire alarm to get out probably.”

Aelin groaned in protest, even with four teams it was a dangerous thing “no dangerous calls? Was the ambulance all ok?”

Her relief captain nodded “they went out on their own a few times but all legitimate calls,” the man sighed heavily “what is happening is sick. I am terrified every time the ambulance goes out alone. I almost ordered my team to go out with them every time.”

Aelin placed a hand on his shoulder. Pete had a tough exterior but she knew that he was a good man underneath and he cared deeply about his team.

“I heard about Ress and Asterin.”

Aelin sat on the bumper of the engine “I was at the hospital before coming here,” she told him “Ress is going home in two days but Asterin is still out.”

“How is your team coping?”

“Angry.”

The both were silent for a moment “Dorian found us two floaters, that’s why I am here a bit early.”

“You can use the office.”

Aelin shook her head “it’s yours until the end of the shift. I will camp in the common room and catch up with the team.”

An hour later second shift had started filing out and her team was slowly arriving. She was on the apparatus floor when she noticed two new faces advancing hesitantly to the main doors.

Aelin pulled up the rolling doors and joined them “Good morning, I guess you are Rolfe and Sorrel.”

The woman nodded while the man looked around the station “Nice digs you have here, Galathynius.”

Aelin turned to him and glared at the man “Welcome to east station. My team is almost all here, in the meantime I can show you were to get changed and you can choose your bed.”

“Thank you, captain,” said Sorrel with a happy smile. Rolfe just grunted. Good, they had given her a grump. Manon could probably chew him up. Oh yes, she was sending him to truck. He could be Ress’ replacement, while she kept Sorrel to sub for Asterin and be on engine with her.

“There are some free lockers, choose one and take a strip of paper tape and write your name on.”

Aelin let them get changed and then took them around the station. They choose their bunk too and once that was out of the way they walked back to the common room “the guys are probably having breakfast. We always tend to when we start a shift in the morning. It’s a nice ritual and there is always plenty of food.”

Sorrel smiled eagerly. Oh yes, she was going to like the woman.

Once inside the room she found her team deep in discussion “Good morning, my minions.”

Heads turned “Morning, cap.” They all said.

“Team, I have two people I’d like to introduce you. They are Rolfe and Sorrel. They will be subbing for Ress and Asterin.”

Sorrel waved at the team of people in front of her “I all, I am so excited to be here. I heard great thing about this station.”

Rolfe just nodded.

“Sorrel, Rolfe let me introduce the team.” Aelin took a step away “This is Manon and she is my acting lieutenant and my second. She has her exam coming up next week and she is in charge of truck. Needless to say that her orders are, just as mine, law.” Then she moved along the line “This is Brullo and he is an acting lieutenant too and he is in charge of the engine and his exam is next week and yes, you need to listen to him if you are on engine,” she continued to the rest of the team “This is Nox. He is the engine driver and our mechanic.” She turned and pointed at Ansel “Ansel is our truck driver.” A scoff came from Rolfe and the whole team glared at him.

“Problems?”Aelin challenged him but the man had the god sense of keeping his mouth shut. Aelin went through all the team members one by one. Rolfe did not make any more comment and she was glad. Her team was the one with the highest presence of females in the all of the TFD and she was proud of it. Marcus was trying but after loosing Lizzie to her own command he was back being an all boy’s club, something that he had told her plenty of times he was not happy about.

Once the introductions were over the team went back to their breakfast and she took Manon aside “of all the people… Rolfe? Really?”

Aelin looked at the woman “do you know him?”

Manon shook her head “No, but Asterin worked with him at regional six and did not have a good opinion of him.”

Aelin sighed “He is subbing for Ress so if we are lucky it’s only for a month.” At those words Manon sighed relieved.

“Will you be okay working with him?”

An evil grin spread on the face of her second “if he thinks he can intimidate me he has a surprise coming for him.”

“I went to see Asterin and Ress this morning.” She added quietly “Ress is in good spirits and Asterin not much change but Sorscha told me that her sats are looking much better and it seems they had managed to avoid ARDS to develop.”

Manon sighed deeply “Any word from the police?”

“I haven’t checked my emails yet.”

“It’s election day today.”

Aelin had completely forgotten “Both truck and engine need a fuel top up. We’ll stop at our local poll. If the girls need to feed the ambulance they can join us or they can go after they come back from a call.”

Manon nodded “I’ll let them know.”

“How do you feel about the exam?”

Manon nodded “Both Brullo and I have been studying a lot and the whole team helped quizzing us.”

Aelin smiled “Good, I want to call you both lieutenants.”

“Thank you for the opportunity. It means a lot to me and although I miss Aedion running the show on truck, I am loving being in charge.”

“You deserved it.”

Later on, after a call and filling up the tanks of the vehicles Aelin directed her team to their local polling station.

Seeing the fire department pulling up in front of the building scared the living daylights out of everybody but Aelin just calmed all by saying that they were there to fulfil their civil duty. After that the people present started clapping and a few people went to shake their hands and pass they thank you for what they were doing for the community. Aelin smiled and felt a pang of pride in her team and how hard they had worked under all the circumstances.

They were exiting the building when the radios became alive “Main to east, man impaled, 72 Baker st.”

“Copy that main, east en route.” Quickly they ran back to he vehicles sirens blaring “bet on impaled on what,” joked Nox while taking the wheel.

“On a rake.” Said Luca.

“How?” Added Brullo.

“I don’t know, someone really bad at gardening?”

Aelin smiled, it was a game of theirs to relax before a call, to make weird assumption about the incident.

“I bet on a fence,” added Sorrel shyly, trying to join in the fun.

“Interesting…”

They arrived at the site and saw a woman ran after towards them “Help me. He fell.”

She guided them through the house and to the back and they saw it. The man was impaled on the metal fence of the garden.

Aelin looked up and had an idea of what happened. Stupid people not following health and safety rules.

“He was on the ladder to fix the light on the roof of the balcony. He reached over to grab a tool and lost balance.”

“Luca grab the powered saw. Manon, you and Borte hold the fence.”

Luca came back with the saw. Aelin wore her protective goggles and Sorrellremoved her bunker gear to place it on the man’s head for protection.

“What are you doing? Are you leaving him impaled?” Shouted the woman.

Wes walked to her “if we remove the metal bar he will bleed out well before he reaches the hospital, so we are just cutting it and the ambulance will take him to the hospital.”

“Ok, I need you to keep the bar as still as you can. Any movement and we risk cause more damage.”

Luca sat in front of the man and talked to him to reassure him as soon as the cutting started and the victim began screaming.

“Tell Lys and Elide to be ready,” was Brullo’s order to Rolfe who was standing watching in silence.

The paramedics arrived and assessed the situation while Aelin was still cutting the metal.

“Elide, once he is free we are going to pad heavily both sides and make sure the bar does not move.”

“He’s free.” Announced Aelin stepping back to let the medics work.

Lys and Elide stabilised him and Kyllian helped them carefully lift the gurney.

“You can come with us,” said Lys to the woman.

The ambulance rolled away and the two teams cleared up “On engine Sorrel won, what about truck?”

“Me!” Said a cheery Ansel “I said impaled on a fence. Had no idea on how but I had the right guess.”

Aelin laughed “let’s get back to quarters.”

Once in the engine Aelin turned to Sorrel “well done on working on your own initiative.”

“Thank ma’am. My lieutenant always pushed me to act and not always wait for an order. My captain hated me for being willing to help.”

Aelin snorted “which team?”

“This was at regional twelve. The captain there hates having women. He called us useless and even the lieutenant, she had no power.”

A snarl came from Aelin. After Sorrel’s time at east was over she’d ask if Aedion would take her as permanent member. His was a brand new house and she knew he was not yet fully staffed.

“The regional teams have some of the worst members ever.”Added Ansel.

Aelin looked at them both “you are now in a house that appreciates you.” Then looked at Sorrel “I will ask Aedion if he has a spot for you when you are done subbing here. He has a good team.”

Aelin was raging. She had to find a way to get rid of the stigma of women as firefighters. The situation had improved immensely since she had started but had no idea how bad it was in the regional teams. That was definitely going to be her next challenge. She had convinced the airforce, now it was time to push for some changes in her job too.

Once back at the station Aelin noticed Dorian’s pick up and groaned. She could not cope with more bad news.

“Manon, get truck and engine checked and well… you know the drill.”

The other woman nodded sharply and as Aelin entered the common room she spotted Dorian lounging on their sofa “You comfy there, chief?”

She saw Dorian stand “That is a bad news face.”

“Mostly an update.” He tilted his head and Aelin started walking to her office. Once inside he took his usual seat.

“Detective Ytger gave me an update and thinks there is a mole in the hospital.”

Aelin gasped. That was bad.

“All the drugs that went missing were from their main pharmacy storage. Mostly fentanyl, morphine and other opioids used by the hospital.”

“Of course,” said Aelin “stealing from the main storage will draw less attention. In the small supply closet is much easier to spot missing stock.”

“Sorscha told me the hospital is helping PD and doing checks on all employees. She has a suspicion on a new nurse called Maeve. Apparently joined them just before everything started so the detectives are now investigating.”

Aelin sighed and sat on her office chair “this is a fucking mess.”

“The hospital is implementing stricter restriction and a better way to record any use of controlled drugs.” He explained.

“What about our paramedics going out on a call? We have three in the hospital.”

“I know.”

“And?”

Dorian ran a hand through his hair and he looked tired and older all of a sudden “Chief Harker cannot pull the ambulances, you know that. We asked PD to track them with the street cameras as much as possible but you know that it’s not 100% coverage.”

Aelin sighed “that is not enough. Every time they gt out I fear they will have to be carried to the hospital or even worse in a body bag. I am scared for Lys and Elide.”

Dorian sighed and she knew he was trying to do all he could. Aelin felt bad for grilling him. It was not his fault after all. Dorian was just as worried.

“Chief Harker and the ambulance services have been working on plans but short of stopping all the ambulances there is no other way.”

Aelin leaned back on her chair “I know, Dorian.”

“How are the two replacements?”

“Sorrel is wonderful, Rolfe is… challenging but I put him on truck with Manon.”

Dorian laughed hard “that was a brilliant move. She is not easily intimidated.”

“Did you manage to vote?”

“I went very early this morning before coming on shift.”

“We need change.”

They both nodded and kept catching up on work until Dorian admitted he had to go back to the office and pretend to work.

When Aelin woke up the next morning she walked to the common room and saw it for once busy. Every one was in front of the tv as the election result were announced live for each constituency as the results came in.

“How is it going?” She sat at the table with coffee and her breakfast.

“So far we have four constituencies in and the opposition has won with a landslide majority. East Orynth hasn’t come in yet,” explained Brullo “and if we keep the current government in this corner I am asking Dorian to move our station.”

Laughter spread in the room.

“Did Rowan manage to vote?”

“He applied for postal vote as soon as he realised he was going to be in Rifthold.”

“Good man.”

Aelin nodded “any constituency that is risking staying with the bad guys?”

Ren shook his head “the exit polls are predicting a crushing defeat.”

Aelin smiled “oh, that makes my day better already.”

“We are expecting the full results around ten tonight.”

“Okay guys, I know the excitement but we are at work. We can leave the tv on so we have a constant update, but let’s not forget our tasks.” And she looked at Manon.

“They all already gave all of their jobs assigned. We were just finishing breakfast.”

“Absolutely,” said Aelin while drinking coffee “finish breakfast first.”

It was later in the afternoon when the political coverage was interrupted by some breaking news.

Aelin was passing in front of the tv when she spotted it. She grabbed the remote and punched up the volume.

“Meteorologists have released a red alert for the weekend. A very cold front is moving towards Terrasen and it’s expected to hit tomorrow. Heavy snowstorms are expected to batter the region and temperatures plunging as low as -15 degrees. The red alert is the highest possible and the population is advised not to leave their homes until is safe to do so.”

“Guys!” She shouted to her team then pointed at the tv as they came in.

“The storm is supposed to bring heavy snowfalls and winds up to 130kph. This is according to the meteorological services one of the biggest and worst storm in over twenty years and it’s expected to last the entire weekend.”

As soon as the announcement was over Aelin sprang into action.

“Brullo, Luca, I want the two of you to do an inventory of the pantry. And go and buy anything that you think we need for supplies.”

She turned to Manon “Implement the emergency plan. Have Nox do a full check of our generators. I want to make sure truck and engine are ready to go. Shift changeover is meant to be tomorrow but that will not happen. I will not have second team risk drive in. We are here already and it’s the safest thing. I will discuss this with Dorian but I do not want the guys to drive if it’s going to be as bad as predicted.”

The team nodded in agreement.

“With such a bad storm we can expect power-cuts, meaning that people might seek shelter. We are that shelter. So we need to be prepared for that too.” She added “go in the storage room upstairs and see how many folding beds we have and have a look at how many spare blankets we have.”

The storm was not meant to hit until later that night so they had time to plan. She ran back to her office and had a chat with Dorian about the plan and he gave his blessing, also to the one to use the firehouse for shelter.

She was about to go back when her phone rang. Rowan.

“Hey,”

“I just heard.”

“Snowstorm.”

“Yes.” He replied sadly “if it’s going to be as bad as they predict I will not be able to fly in.”

“I know. Don’t worry. It’s not safe.”

Rowan chuckled “more likely I would not be able to see and the airport and the airbase will be closed.”

“I know. We’ll be fine. I will miss you but there is nothing I can do and don’t even think about driving.”

“Never.” He sighed “this sucks.”

Aelin sat back on her chair “we will be busy anyway. In these situations firehouses work as shelters. We have power generators.”

“Stay safe please.”

“Will do.” She told him “I have to go. There’s a lot of stuff to do to prepare.”

“Of course, go.” He chuckled “I will text you tonight after the election results.”

Aelin smiled “I love you.”

“Same here menace.”

It was late afternoon when the storm eventually reached Orynth. The sky had turned dark very quickly and the snow began falling heavily since the afternoon. The wind had started pick up speed as well and they could now hear it rattling the heavy rolling sliding doors. The team was safely gathered in the common room having soup for dinner. They just hoped not to have to go out on a call. Visibility was close to zero.

The news switched between updates on the storm and the elections.

Aelin had called the other captains and they were all in the same situation. Aedion had just started the shift that morning and, like them he was stuck at his house for the weekend. He said that they already had some people coming in seeking help. Some areas of south Orynth had already lost power. Aelin was counting the minutes until it happened to their area.

All of a sudden a loud cheer erupted. Their constituency had been the last to be announced and the opposition party had won there too with a whopping 90% of the votes. It had been amazing. According to the final results the opposition had won the elections in a landslide victory with 85% of the votes. A record in Orynth’s history with an affluence to the ballots of about 97% of the eligible population. The whole ordeal had been earmarked as an historical vote.

Aelin was grinning and in that instant her phone pinged we won. Had texted Rowan.

“Lorcan is on his way here. Is it okay Aelin?”

“Of course he can stay but he needs to be less grumpy or I leave him out in the cold.”

Elide grinned “miracles this big take time.”

Heavy curses erupted when dispatch alarm went off. No one wanted to leave but it was their job.

“Nox, Ansel, Lys, driving conditions will be hellish. Safety.”

They all climbed in the vehicles and as they left the firehouse Aelin’s heart sank. The snowploughs had been out already and the road was reasonably clear but the heavy winds were blowing the snow and visibility was bad.

“Nox easy. We can’t risk being in an accident ourselves. This big boy at least it’s heavy and will keep us grounded. I assume we have winter tyres.”

“Yes ma’am. We changed them over in November.”

She nodded happily. She knew Nox would take always good care of their vehicles.

“That’s why you are in charge of the mechanical side.”

They arrived at the scene ten minutes later. It was not far away but it felt like a life time.

A woman met them on the pavement “it’s my neighbours. They are elderly and I went to check on them. I looked through the window and I think they have fainted.”

Aelin reassured the woman they were going to help them.

“Possible carbon monoxide poisoning.”

Brullo grabbed a sensor with a thin probe and squeezed it through the door. The device beeped angrily “reading are over the safety limit.”

“Brullo, you and Luca are coming with me.”

The young man broke the window and then with his hand he reached inside the door and unlocked it.

“Mask up.”

While Luca and Brullo went to look for the cause of the leak she went to the couple on the floor. They had a pulse. Very weak but they were alive. Over the radio she asked for help and Manon joined and together they carried out the couple one at a time and left them in the care of Lys and Elide.

Brullo and Luca came back five minutes later saying that the cooker had been left on and had been the source of carbon monoxide leak. They had switched off the main gas line in the house.

Aelin went to the neighbour and updated her on the situation and the woman was going to call the daughter and give her an update.

The ambulance was away and the two vehicles started their trip back to the station.

An hour later they heard the power generator kick in and as Aelin walked to the big doors she saw that all the lights had gone off and the street and the houses had plunged into darkness.

Lorcan had arrived five minutes earlier carrying food and supplies after Elide told him that the station was likely to become a shelter. Aelin had phoned Emrys and Malakai and ordered to walk down the road and join them. The two lived all the way up in the north of the city and she had no intention of sending them away on a car trip.

The two men arrived half an hour later in their car and started to unload containers and the team went to help them. Emrys had explained that if they were going to be closed for a few days they could not leave the food to go bad so they had brought all the perishable supplies.

Both men had said they were going to cook for everyone as a thank you.

Around seven some people had started to trickle in asking for shelter. A few families with kids had dropped in as well saying that the houses had started to go cold. They had moved truck, engine and the ambulance toward the front as much as possible to create space for the people to camp.

Emrys had started cooking as soon as he settled down and the common room was now smelling wonderfully. The guys had started giving the kids a tour of the two big trucks and that had been a very popular method of entertainment.

Most of the families that had started to arrive had brought their mats to sleep on offering to leave the beds to the elderly or kids. Aelin had gone around the firehouse meeting the people who thanked her so much for allowing them to seek shelter. With the help of Ansel she had been distributing blankets to those in need and suggested that dinner was coming. Some people had already quietly camped in the apparatus floor, others had gathered for the time being in the common room. Having that many people in a firehouse made her nervous but Dorian gave his blessing and they were the only place that could offer warmth and a safe haven. She had engrained in the adults’ brain to keep an eye in the children. The trucks were not a playing ground so they had to keep the wee ones away explaining that the compartments could not be locked and contained dangerous tools. The ambulance had it easier since they could actually lock it. That new feature had been installed recently and could only be opened by a key that was safely hidden on Lys.

When Emrys announced that dinner was ready, happiness spread through the station. People gathered to get their food and also helped distribute it around. A few families had camped at the back of the station and had created a cosy corner with a lot of blankets they had brought over. The kids were playing quietly.

One girl, around twelve with bright red hair and green eyes who reminded her a lot of Ansel approached Aelin and confessed that she wanted to be a firefighter. Aelin was beaming so she called both Manon and Ansel and introduced them to the girl. They explained that there was another woman who was now in hospital and she had been amazed at seeing all those women as firefighter. The girl had confessed that both her parents and teacher had told her that it was not a profession suited for women since it was hard physical work.

Aelin had been fuming and had told the girl she was the first woman to become a firefighter and a captain. The expression on the girl’s face had been priceless.

Later on she was sitting in a corner with Manon and Ansel, having dinner “I am so tired of hearing parents and teacher telling young kids what they can and can’t do according to gender.”

Ansel scoffed “my teacher told me that I should have gone into teaching.”

Manon snorted while drinking her coke “Sorry, it would like suggesting me to become a counsellor.”

Aelin laughed. Ansel had very little patience with kids and Manon would make the worst counsellor ever.

“I want to fix this. I want to do something to show these girls they can be anything they want to be.”

“What you have in mind? Because Ansel and I will join you and when Asterin gets back she will too.”

Aelin played distracted with her food “I don’t know go to community centres and organise session for girls and explore their options? Show them what we can do?”

Manon paused “that is a great start. What about having days with other successful women? Inspire them. They need to see that is doable and hear the testimony of more of us who made it no matter the gender.”

Ansel smiled “you can call Sellene. Law is another boys’ club.”

Aelin nodded. Sellene seemed the kind of person who would join in.

“Aedion might have contacts in the army.”

Aelin shook her head “I have those, same for the Navy. Two of Rowan’s exes will be perfect.”

Ansel looked at her “exes?”

“Oh yes, they are awesome. I met them at the navy party. I love them a lot.”

Both Manon and Ansel looked at her in suspicion.

“What? It ended ages ago. One of them is engaged and the other is just a good friend.”

“Are they hot?” Asked Ansel.

Aelin nodded eagerly “Kat, the available one, is very much your type.”

Ansel rubbed her hands “I am looking forward to meet her.”

“What about Fen?” Asked Manon.

“Oh, we are not exclusive. It was the rule from the start. No strings attached.”

“How is he doing at the academy?” That was a question from Manon for both.

“Oh he is good. Really good. And I don’t know if it’s military training, but he is the most well behaved.”

“Which is saying a lot considering his past.” Added Ansel “but he loves it a lot and he seems like a new man. Even Connall is amazed by the change.”

“I have seen it too. I am so happy for him.”

“Now we just need to get your man out of the airforce.”

Aelin gave Ansel a tight smile “Eventually.” She stood “I am getting more food.” And walked away to avoid the subject. A selfish part of her wished he had been kicked out altogether. A part of her that did not have the guts to voice that thought to him. It was not fair.

Quietly she walked once more around the house and made sure everyone was okay and settled in for the night. In the common room she saw a group of people helping out. A few of them had been gathering all the dishes and a couple of men had offered to help clean up. When Aelin protested they told her that as guests it was their duty to help out and that it was a way to show how grateful they were. No one wanted to feel like a burden.

Aelin hid in her office and did some paperwork. She was not going to sleep much anyway.

An hour into her work, Rowan called her, so she put the phone on loud speaker “hi you.”

“How’s my favourite firefighter?”

“Working a bit. The firehouse has become a safe house and there’s people everywhere. I just needed a bit of peace.”

“How bad is the storm?”

Aelin sighed “bad. We were out on a call and visibility was terrible. The wind is savage and I am positive the whole of Orynth is without power. Definitely us and south.”

“I have seen the news and showed a video to Mark. He couldn’t believe it.”

Aelin laughed “they have sand storms.”

“The news says that the worst will be tomorrow.”

A deep sigh filled the line “I know. I am scared of the aftermath.” A pause “Lorcan is here, by the way.”

Rowan laughed “he told me. He admitted he misses his storm buddy to play paramedic.”

“Well. He has been really helpful but the kids are scared of him. They call him grumpy giant.”

Another laugh came from Rowan “he does not like kids.”

This time it was Aelin’s turn to laugh “we told them he is a pilot. Now they all love him.” She finished a couple of things “but we promised everyone storytelling with Emrys.”

“He is there?”

“Yes.” And Aelin explained him about getting the couple to the station.

Rowan sighed “sound like I am missing a ton of fun.”

“We are keeping ourselves busy.”

“So, what about the elections? Have you seen the results?”

Aelin cheered loudly “it’s incredible and not just the result. The turnout as well. I am impressed.”

“Loads of people wanting change.” He added.

“Now they better deliver, because if they don’t I can see a rebellion happening.”

Rowan laughed “you are always so dramatic.”

Aelin scoffed “I want central station back.”

“Fireheart, there are a lot of issues that need solving.”

“Give us back our last station and keeping the city safe is an important one.” She argued back and Rowan yielded. She could get quite fiery when it came to politics.

“Do you have any plans on what you’ll do now that you are not coming?”

He sighed deeply “honestly no, I might go out for a hike. I have no idea.”

A text pinged in Aelin’s phone. She looked at it and swore “Ro, I gotta go.”

“I did not hear dispatch alarm.”

“It’s Sellene…” and she hang up leaving Rowan in a panic over his cousin.
