Stacy's Mom, Chapter 8
Word Count:  1.4k
Warnings:  slight angst
Tumblr media
Jake had never felt so alone as he looked at his computer.  His heart lurched as he typed in the password for the secret server he’d set up for himself and Devin.  Yet another mission was complete, but he’d been left alone in a shoddy hotel room while the rest of the guys celebrated. 
Over the course of the first two missions, Jake had understood the tense nature between everyone.  While they all had come in contact with one another, none of them had officially worked together, so it was more a matter of figuring each other out and completing everything that they needed to without causing too much collateral.
Roque and Clay had become quick friends, each one of the quiet men finding wisdom in each other when the missions ended and the planning for the next one began.  And while Clay was the official leader of the group, it was like Roque was his right hand.  They always seemed to be operating in sync with one another.
Pooch and Cougar seemed to hit it off pretty good as well.  Pooch went to the bar to celebrate and drink the night away, but he knew that both he and Cougar would be coming back to the room with a date, which would inevitably leave him in either the van or the tub, depending on how loud they got. 
With a heavy sigh he logged in to the private server he’d hastily created before he left.  His heart caught in his throat.  It’d been four months since he’d seen Devin, and she was five and a half months into her pregnancy. 
It was a much easier pregnancy than Briana, and he’d been able to see daily pictures that she uploaded to show him the progress of her small baby bump as well as pictures that Briana had insisted that they upload.  Some of the collections were as simple as the two of them relaxing and having a movie night, or Devin taking Briana to the zoo.
His calloused hand reached out to touch the screen, his fingertips brushing over the glass that showed a picture of his two girls holding up a sign saying, ‘happy birthday daddy!’ 
It was from a few days ago, but Jake’s heart swelled every time he looked at it.  He’d aged another year, and he was 23, but everything felt so much different than it had only six months ago before he came home. 
He’d had a family. 
He had his girls. 
And that’s when Jake noticed the small message that was blinking in the corner of his screen.  Clicking on it a video popped up.  And Jake felt even more homesick.  He pressed the play button. 
“DADDY!”
Jake’s heart lurched in his chest when Briana waved excitedly at the camera, “daddy I miss you!  Mommy said you pro-lee wanna see us for your birthday…but we had to wait for a day when sissy din’t come over so we could do this too!”
Jake’s brow furrowed in confusion when she backed up and he noticed her shirt read ‘big sister’
“Mommy’s been wearing really big shirts and dresses so sissy doesn’t know.”
And that’s when Jake noticed she was wearing one of his shirts.  He smiled, seeing the loud, blue shirt swallowing up her petite frame. 
“We also wanted to show you this,” Devin smiled, holding up a sonogram picture.  Jake’s breath caught in his throat every time she sent him a video and he saw a new updated picture.  Sure, he didn’t know what any of it was, and he couldn’t tell you the baby’s head from its ass, but it was his baby.  Ad that was all that mattered.  Jake touched the screen yet again, “we uh-we wanted to do a gender reveal video for you…I had someone make a bath bomb ball that’s going to either turn the pool blue or pink when we throw it in…another reason we waited to make the video…because while you were gone we had the pool enclosed so we could swim all year round…”
“I hope it’s blue.  No.  Pink.  No…I want blue.  Mommy, I want a baby brother,” she said excitedly, “I want him to be just like daddy so it’s like we have a piece of him when he’s off saving the world.  Daddy, I hope you have fun being a superhero.  I love you!”  
Jake laughed, matching his girlfriend’s pre-recorded laughter as he shook his head at his daughter’s ever-changing mind. 
“Yeah…you definitely get your decision making from daddy,” she cooed, messing up Briana’s hair, “But I think I want a little boy too…a mini version of your daddy…goofiness and all.”
“Just like I’m a mini you!” she giggled.
“You most certainly are,” she smiled, “Do you want to carry the phone or the bath bomb so we can record it for daddy?”
“Bath bomb!”
Jake smiled at his daughter’s insistence.  The two of them went through the house and to the pool, Devin having the camera aimed expertly on Briana who was racing to get to the pool.  When they got to the newly enclosed pool, she placed the camera upright and her and Briana went to the other side so that Jake could see their reactions too. 
“Alright, we gotta count down.” 
“3.  2.  1!” Briana yelled excitedly as she threw the ball as hard as she could into the pool.  It was quick to sink to the bottom, and Jake felt like he was holding his breath. Blue bubbles and dye rushed to the surface, “MOMMY IS A BOY!  I’M GONNA HAVE A BABY BROTHER!  HE’S GONNA BE LIKE DADDY!”
“A baby boy!” she repeated softly.  Jake felt his heart stop as he stared at her stomach. He wasn’t there for his daughter…and now he wasn’t going to be there for his son.  And that’s when his eyes flitted back to the video, and he noticed that Briana was no longer excited but crying.  It had only been a few seconds since she made the announcement, but Jake’s heart plummeted, seeing his daughter crying.  Knowing that it was because of him. 
Devin rushed to her and picked her up, quickly going out of frame.  But Jake could hear them.
“Baby what’s wrong?”
“I want daddy home!” Briana sobbed, “why can’t daddy be home, mommy?”
“H-he’ll be home soon, baby…daddy’s just…he’s working...you know, saving the world so we’re safe from everything that’s bad.”
“I want daddy, mommy.  I miss daddy!”
Jake felt tears rushing to his eyes as he closed the laptop.  Sniffling, he brushed the falling tears from his cheeks.  The door slammed open, and Jake tried to brush it off, but Cougar, who was surprisingly alone, raised a brow at him. 
“Oh-hey man,” Jake said quickly, pushing the remaining tears back, “you’re back soon..I-I was just-“
“Save it,” Cougar said firmly, cutting Jake off.  Jake nodded, holding back his tears as he tucked his laptop under his arm.  Cougar closed the door and went to his luggage before tossing something on Jake’s bed, “you need this now.”
Jake’s brow furrowed, and his heart tore as he recognized it. 
The yellow bunny. 
His eyes widened as he looked back to Cougar, “wh-why do you have my daughter’s bunny in your bag?”
“She knew you’d say yes,” he said after a moment, “she’s a smart little thing, Jensen…she knew you’d get to a point where you’d miss her…and she told me to take that one…said when you get sad…give it to you…”
“B-but she…she sleeps with both of them, she wouldn’t spl-“
“Told me to take it,” he shrugged, sitting on his bed, “said she wanted a reminder for her daddy that she loved him…and that the bunny would watch over him until he came back home…do right by your kid, Jensen…I know that look…we got one more mission on the board before we have a break…don’t go AWOL.”
“I-I wasn’-“
But Jake stopped himself when he looked at Cougar’s expression.  He knew that it was best not to argue with the silent sniper. 
“I saw it in your eyes when Clay said we had one more,” he acknowledged, “now…I’ll give you a reprieve tonight…talk it out…tell me what’s on your mind…and let it all out, Jensen…but come tomorrow morning we get on our next flight and we do what we have to do before you go see your kid.”
“I-I miss her…miss them,” he admitted softly, “I-Devin sent me a video…she-she found out what we’re having?”
“Another princess?”
“No,” Jake said, the smallest of smiles forming on his lips as he thought of his future son, “a little boy…wanna be a godfather, Cougar?”
Cougar smiled softly, “only if his middle name is Cougar…”

“Hello? Jongho? I’m at the entrance. I’m wearing a black skirt and a black and white T-shirt,” you said into the phone waiting for someone to answer. “I’m almost there! I promise, just give me a few seconds,” Jongho said in a breathy tone. Was he running? You thought to yourself before responding. “Okay! No rush! I will be here until you get here.” The air was foggy and slightly cold causing you to breathe in sharply. The wind blew across your bare legs sending goosebumps throughout your whole body. You looked up at the moon, seeing it shine against one of the wet puddles on the ground. All you heard was the wind whistling and the faint sound of music coming from the karaoke bar. 
“Jongho?” You said into the phone concerned that he hung up. “Yes y/n,” you heard a voice respond from behind, causing you to jump. You couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear knowing that it was Jongho. You turned around quickly and pulled him into a hug. You rose to your tippy toes to reach your arms around him and he wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you closer to him. Your arms were around his neck and your head was nuzzled into his neck. You both have been talking online for a while but this was the first time you both met in person. Y’all’s relationship started mutual but it soon became something more when you both started to video call. The video calls would last for hours and there were times when you would fall asleep on the phone together. This moment was surreal for both of you. 
“You look gorgeous, this outfit looks so good on you.” You heard Jongho express, causing you to blush. You couldn’t help but look at his outfit as well. He had on a black turtleneck that was covered by a cream top coat. He wore black jeans that shaped his thighs perfectly and black shoes that were polished to a T. The glasses he wore complement his frame, making you ponder the shape of his face. The watch that he wore rested on his wrist insinuating his hands, making you think about places he could happily touch you at. “Y/n?” You were suddenly broken out of your trance and brought back into reality. “You look cold, let’s go inside hmm?” You nodded in agreement flashing him a gummy smile causing him to smile back. 
You walked into the building and saw that the place had a neon-forward theme. Everything in the building was black but the wall art was bright neon. Jongho grabbed your hand and guided you to the front desk. “2 hours please,” he said swiftly, taking out his wallet to pay. “It looks like you have a singing partner this time Mr. Choi,” the receptionist said, flashing you a cheeky smile. You remember Jonho telling you that he was a local at this karaoke bar and came twice a week. It was cute to see that people knew Jongho very well to the point where they could playfully tease him at times. Jongho rolled his eyes and shook his head, taking a door sign that indicated that someone was in the room. 
“Could we please get Soju, pretzels, and candy sent to the room please?” The receptionist just nodded and Jongho grabbed your hand and squeezed it tightly. “I always get the same room. It’s in the back but I like it like that. I sing kinda loud,” you chuckled softly at his confession and squeezed his hand causing him to look down at you. “But who wouldn’t want to hear my Jongho-ah’s beautiful voice?” You said in an annoyingly cute voice causing Jongho to cringe. You loved annoying him. It was so cute when he was obviously irritated. “Already claiming me huh?” Jongho asked as he opened the door to the karaoke booth, guiding you inside. You looked at how dark but illuminated the room was. There were purple and blue neon lights hanging from the ceiling casting off a cool hue. To the left there was a huge TV mounted onto the wall and to the right there was a black leather couch and a marble table. “Only if you claim me Jongho,” you replied, bopping his nose with your finger. All Jongho could do at that moment was smile to himself and set up the room. 
After a while Soju and snacks came to the door and you both started to indulge yourselves. Throughout the first hour, you both laughed hysterically at funny stories and jokes that you told one another. Jongho and you sang duet songs together as you downed multiple bottles of soju. You could feel the alcohol but it felt like Jonho didn’t. The environment was very laid back and you got to see a different side of Jongho. He was serious most of the time but it was nice to see him goof around a bit. The idea of Jongho being a huge softie made you fall in love with him even more. You felt really comfortable in Jongho’s presence and it made your personality shine through to him. 
“One more shot to a successful first date?” You proposed pouring 2 shots of soju. Jongho looked up at you and flashed you a gummy smile, nodding his head in agreement. You poured the liquor to the brim of the shot glasses and got up from the couch. You walked over carefully to Jongho, making sure you didn’t spill any alcohol on the ground. He looked up at you and reached for the glass but you quickly moved your hand away. In response, he raised one eyebrow and cocked his head to the side in confusion. “I would like to take a seat first,” you expressed looking at the contours of his body. Jongho leaned back onto the couch, his hands resting on his thighs. His hand then slid to the spot next to him. “Then take a seat,” he said, patting the fabric of the couch next to him. You giggled at how oblivious he was to the situation but wanted to play along. “I’d rather sit here Jongho,” you said as you turned your back towards him and proceeded to sit on his lap. Jongho grabbed onto your waist making sure you didn’t fall as you came down to sit on top of his right thigh. 
He spread his legs wider so you could place your legs in the middle of his thighs. He wrapped his right arm around your waist, squeezing onto your right thigh. He grabbed one of the shots out of your left hand and lifted his glass to cheers. You clink your glass against his, causing some of the liquor to spill a bit. You both pressed the glass up to your lips and threw your heads back, letting the liquor run down your throats. You took Jongho’s glass and placed both shots on the table. You wrapped your left arm around his shoulder, placing your hand on the back of his head. You then laid your other hand on his chest, your fingertips lightly tapping against it. A lot of thoughts were going on in your head at the moment. Should I kiss him? Is he ready for that? Is this too soon? Will he think of me differently after this? 
“Y/n?” Jongho’s words broke you out of your trance. “You are overthinking again babydoll.” Your heart fluttered at the new name he gave you. “It’s just me and you here, if you want something just tell me,” he said, tucking your hair behind your ear with his left hand. You paused for a moment, looking down to figure out what to say. “What if that something is you?” you questioned, looking him in his eyes. Jongho smiled and broke eye contact with you, looking to the side. He was obviously flustered as you watched him take a deep breath. You saw him bite his bottom lip making you wonder what was going through his head. 
Jongho then turned to you and stared at you causing you to stare back. “You can have me,” he abruptly said before you could react his lips pressed against yours. An electric shock ran through your body and to your core as his lips suddenly attached to yours. You felt him squeeze his fingers tighter on your thigh, pulling you closer to his body. You moaned into the kiss as his other hand slowly moved up your skirt, caressing your inner thigh. Your hand entangled into his hair, pushing his lips closer to yours. Your other hand was gripping onto his biceps, squeezing softly every time he got close to your core. The kisses became intense causing you to move your hips back and forth involuntarily. You were so needy and Jongho could tell. 
You ran your tongue against the entrance of his lips, making him part them to let you in. Your tongues danced against each other causing you to whimper softly. In response, Jonho smirked into the kiss and squeezed your thigh. You tried your hardest not to moan too loud because of the thin walls but you couldn’t help it. The way that Jongho was kissing you made your heartbeat move rapidly and your core tingle. You could tell that he was enjoying it just as much as you were by the way he was holding onto you tight. You felt safe in his grasp, forgetting that you were in a karaoke booth. 
Jongho then lifted you by your waist and sat you down on his thigh. Each of your thighs was on either side of his right thigh, your core making direct contact with him. You hiked up your skirt making sure there was full contact with his thigh. You placed your hands on his shoulders as Jongho placed his hands under your skirt, firmly placing it against the skin on your waist. He started to play with the hem of your underwear as you pulled him closer for another kiss. You were both silent but you could tell that you were both on the same page. Jongho flashed a smile at you and reached for the remote that was by him. He clicked the play button and started to play a song to muffle the sounds that both of you would be making. He then placed the remote down as the song started to play, his hands moving back to your waist. 
Both of your lips collide again causing you to move your hips back and forth on his thigh. You could feel a wet spot form on Jongho’s pants as you started to please yourself on top of him. You moaned into the kiss as his hands pressed you harder onto him. You begin to bite onto his bottom lip, feeling overwhelmed by his touch and how he was handling you. You pulled away, lust filling your eyes and excitement filling Jongho’s. You both smiled and chuckled softly as you continued. Broken moans would escape your mouth as you felt your swollen core slide against his strong thigh. You couldn’t help but grip onto his shoulder tighter and throw your head back. “You're such a doll, does that feel good?” Jongho asked as he watched how pretty you looked straddling yourself on top of his thigh. You moaned in agreement looking back at him. “Yes Jongho, so good,” you breathed trying hard not to be too loud. He smirked at your response, watching you come undone on top of his thigh. 
You then felt his other hand slide underneath your shirt, his fingertips making contact with your stomach. His hand then rose to your lace bra, cupping your breast. Without hesitation, you reached for your bra, unhooking it. You removed your arms from the straps and let it fall on the floor. You grabbed onto Jongho’s face, kissing him passionately as you continued to rock your hips back and forth. His hands lingered throughout your body until he made direct contact with your breast again. You then felt the sensation of him rubbing his thumbs on each nipple. You pulled away from the kiss and threw your head back, moaning in ecstasy. Jongho then took this as an invitation to lift your shirt a bit, just to see how pretty you looked exposed to him. 
You suddenly felt his tongue lap across your left nipple, sending a shock throughout your body. You instantly looked down and watched as Jongho flicked his tongue repeatedly over your nipple. “Fuck,” you moaned, pulling his head closer to you. He then placed his thumb on your other nipple, watching how you reacted to his actions. You continued to ride his thigh as he sucked on your nipple, causing your core to tighten. You tugged onto his hair tightly as he swirled his tongue on your nipple. “Jongho,” you gasped as you felt him alternate from flicking and sucking on your sensitive bud. The feeling of him playing with your nipples and your clit rubbing against his thigh made you embarrassingly close. “Jongho, baby, I’m close,” you breathed, trying your best not to be loud. He then felt for the TV remote and turned up the volume. He then pressed you down firmly on his thigh, causing you to grind harder. 
You looked down at Jongho and he looked up at you. The sight of him under you and sucking your nipple sent you into overdrive. “Cum for me princess,” Jongho demanded, watching how helpless you looked as you were close to releasing. “Jong-!” you screamed, feeling the knot in your core pop, causing you to cum all over his thigh. Your body shook involuntarily and you couldn’t help but squeeze onto Jongho. Your head fell into the crock of his neck and you started to whimper slightly. Your heart was racing and so was your mind. You felt Jongho’s hand rub your back gently. You felt Jongho lift you back up again, making you straddle his waist. All you could feel was his dick pressed against your wet core. 
You lifted your head and looked at the cheeky smile that was on Jongho’s face. You couldn’t help but lightly chuckle at how he was looking at you. Jongho then pressed his lips against yours and moved your hair away from your face. “You’re okay baby,” he reassured you, kissing you on your cheek. You couldn’t help but smile at how sweet he was towards you. The way he was treating you made you feel special. But his hard cock pressed against your core made you want him to ruin you. 
You then slid down to your knees, looking up into his eyes. “Is this alright?” you asked, hovering your hands over the buckle of his belt. “Absolutely,” he said, nodding eagerly, his eyes darting from your hands to your face. You took his belt in your hands and unbuckled it, looking at the bulge that formed in his pants. Your hands got ahold of his pants button, undoing them swiftly. You then pulled down the zipper, your hand grazing against his print. Jongho then lifted himself and moved his pants down slightly. Once he sat down you reached for the hem of his underwear and pulled down. You were shocked as you saw Jongho’s dick pop out of his underwear. His dick was girthy and his head was huge, it was the biggest you have ever seen. 
You looked up and you could tell that Jongho was ready and you didn't want him to wait any longer. You held his hard dick in your hands, pondering the shape and size of it. You then looked into his eyes as you stroked him with one hand. Your hands barely fit around the circumference of his cock. He looked at you as he bit his bottom lip, staring at how beautiful you looked on your knees. You opened your lips and guided his dick to your mouth. Your tongue touched the tip of his dick first before you closed your mouth around it. You hummed softly at the taste of his precum on your tongue, followed by sucking around his swollen head. You went down slowly, letting his dick fill your mouth. You watched as Jongho’s facial expressions changed as you forced your head down his shaft. You watched his lips part and his eyebrows scrunch lightly together. You both were making direct eye contact as you bobbed your head up and down his dick. 
You rubbed his left thigh softly as you picked up the pace, your throat making a filthy squelching noise. You started to go faster, letting his tip hit the back of your throat. This caused Jongho to involuntarily rest his hand on the back of your head. You watched as he gripped onto the coach and tilted his head back. “Holy shit,” Jongho breathed, pushing your head down slightly. This made you moan against his dick in response. Jongho was strong and you could tell he didn’t want to hurt you. But at this moment you wanted him to use you like a slut. You started to suck slowly, catching the attention of Jongho. You then swiftly grabbed both of his hands, making his fingers run through your hair. You then forced both of his hands into a fist, causing your hair to be pulled into a ponytail. You slowly removed your mouth from Jonghos dick and whispered, “I want you to use me, force me down your dick baby.” His eyes grew wide at your request, his dick twitching in response. “Show me who I belong to,” you demanded before putting his dick back into your mouth. 
You forced him down your throat, letting your saliva run down the sides of your mouth. You brought your head back up and looked up at Jongho. He saw that as a signal to push your head back down onto his dick. You kept direct eye contact with him as he pushed you down, his dick touching the back of your throat. He then lifted your head back up by your hair and forced you down again. You moaned in response as he used your throat. He then started to slowly pick up the pace, carefully watching that he didn’t hurt you. He started to moan loudly, feeling your mouth close tightly around his cock. He then pressed your head down faster and harder, testing how much you could take of him. He watched as strings of saliva connected from your mouth to his dick. 
You squeezed onto Jongho’s thighs tighter, bracing yourself for what he might do next. He picked up the pace more to the point where your nose started to hit his pelvic bone. You watched as he threw his head back and started to thrust into your mouth. You couldn’t help but moan and reach for your soaked core. You started to lap circles around your clit as Jongho fucked your mouth. “Fuck, I can hear you playing with your pussy,” he groaned, gripping tighter onto your hair. “Babydoll, you’re going to make me cum,” he moaned, removing his hands from your hair. You kept up the pace he made, letting his dick slide repeatedly down your throat. “Good girl, just like that,” he grunted, watching how you sucked him. “Keep going baby,” he demanded, looking into your eyes. “I’m about to cum fuck,” he moaned, gripping onto the coach. You felt some of his cum leak from his tip and into your mouth. You then removed your mouth and continued to stroke him with your hands. You stuck out your tongue and let his cum drip onto your face. Jongho moaned loudly as he watched his cum cover your cheeks and mouth. You licked your lips and allowed some of his cum into your mouth, swallowing it. You then took his tip, licking it clean. 
Jongho was in complete shock at the sight of you like this. This caused you to smile at him and giggle, him smiling in return. He then grabbed a napkin from the table behind you and started to wipe your face. “I can’t believe we did that,” Jongho said, followed by a chuckle. “I can’t either, but it was good,” you responded, looking up at him with a smile. “Good is an understatement. If that was considered good I bet being inside of you is 10 times better.” The room fell silent at Jongho’s words. You looked up at him as he continued to wipe your face dry. “How about you fuck me right now and tell me if it feels better than good,” Jongho’s lips formed into a smirk at your words. You watched as he thought carefully about the next thing he was going to say. “Could you wait till we got back to your place babydoll?” He asked, rubbing his thumb on your cheek. In response, you pouted and shook your head in disagreement. “You want me to fill you up that bad baby?” He teased, leaning down, becoming face-to-face with you. “Such a naughty girl for wanting me to fuck you in here. Come show me what you want baby,” he whispered before laying back on the couch, watching your every move. 
You then got up from your knees and stood right in front of him. You kept direct eye contact with Jongho as your fingers wrapped around the hem of your panties. You slowly started to pull down your panties, watching Jongho’s eyes dart from your body to your eyes. Your panties then fell to the floor and your juices from your soaked core started to drip down your thigh. You walked towards Jongho and he grabbed you by the waist, guiding you on top of him. You placed your thighs on either side of his waist, straddling him once again. This time the shaft of his hard dick was making direct contact with your wet pussy. Jongho could feel how soaked you were which caused him to inhale sharply. “You’re soaked for me aren’t you baby?” He asked, his lips attaching to your neck. Your hands immediately went to the back of his head, pressing him closer. Your fingers entangled into his hair as he started to bite softly on your skin. “Yes sir,” you moaned, throwing your head back. “I love when you call me that babydoll,” he expressed against your skin, squeezing your ass with his hands. You started to involuntarily sway your hips back and forth, your folds rubbing against his shaft. “Are you ready baby?” He asks as he pulls away from your neck, looking at you directly into your eyes. “Yes baby, of course. I have been ready all night,” you reassure him, cupping his face and kissing him delicately. 
You then lined up Jongho’s dick with your entrance. You rubbed his tip against your entrance to prepare the both of you. You inserted Jongho’s tip into you, both of you gasping at the new feeling. You then lowered yourself down onto his dick, looking into his eyes as you did it. You could feel Jongho stretching you out, making you clench around him more. His girth was making it hard for you to stay balanced, you could feel your knees buckling. You anchored your hands onto Jongho’s shoulders and he held onto your waist. You slowly went up and down and felt his dick stretch you out again, causing a moan to escape your lips. Jongho’s hands moved to your ass and rubbed it softly, encouraging you to proceed when you were ready. You were overwhelmed with the feeling of his dick deep inside you but you wanted to please him. 
You started to bounce up and down slowly, making direct eye contact as you did so. “Fuck, your really tight babydoll,” his words made you spiral. You couldn’t help but claw at his shoulder and attack his lips with yours. You started to bounce faster, feeling his dick kiss your cervix. Your hands were entangled in his hair, tugging at it softly. Your pussy was soaked but he was still stretching you out drastically. Jongho then started to thrust against you as you rode him, giving you a new sensation that sent you into overdrive. You placed your hands on his knees and threw your head back, feeling how deep he was into you. Jongho’s hands gripped onto your waist, holding you steady as you bounced on top of him. He looked at how sexy you looked like this, you were sweet and innocent on the phone but now you looked completely different. Your top was raised showing your breast to him and your skirt was barely on because the button broke on the side. “Damn,” he grunted as you looked down at him, he looked so fascinated by you. 
You then suddenly got up off him, causing him to look confused. You then turned around and Jongho separated his legs so you could lower yourself onto him again. Jongho helped line himself up with your entrance as you sat on top of him. You held onto his thighs on both sides of your body and started to ride him again. He moaned and grabbed your ass, squeezing it tightly. He watched as his dick slid in and out of your soaking core. Watching your juices cover his dick completely. “Just like that baby,” he moaned, slapping your ass and leaving a mark. You were in ecstasy as you heard him moan your name. You felt his dick twitch inside of you, causing you to clench around him tighter. Jongho repeatedly slapped your ass as you continued to ride him like this, causing a red handprint to form on your skin. You suddenly felt Jongho’s fingers circle your sensitive clit, making you moan his name. Your pussy started to spaz around his dick at the stimulation that was running throughout your body. His fingers were running rapidly on your clit as you continued to ride him. Your moans and grunts filled the room as you both pleased each other. Your riding was getting sloppy as you started to get tired and Jongho could tell. 
With one swift movement, Jongho swung you around and pinned you against the couch. He intertwined his fingers with yours and looked at you with desperation. The blue and purple lights casted a shadow over your body and illuminated Jongho perfectly. He started to kiss your neck, thrusting softly into you. Jongho was deep inside you and hitting spots you never thought existed. You were so drunk off of him and so was he. This whole scenario almost felt unreal, almost like a dream. You started to whine involuntarily at the feeling of Jongho picking up the pace. “Jongho,” you moaned, gripping onto his hands tighter. “I love it when you moan my name,” he whispered in your ear, thrusting harder into you. Jongho then rose up from your neck and watched you as he fucked you into the couch. You could feel him start to thrust into you faster and harder causing broken moans to escape your lips. He was stretching you out repeatedly which caused you to clench around him tighter. He was hitting your g-spot repeatedly causing your eyes to roll back and your nails to dig into his hands. Jongho was moaning and grunting with every thrust into you. His hair was damp and was sticking against his face. He watched as you became undone under his grasp, making it hard for him not to cum. Your moans filled the air and pierced through the walls. 
The karaoke music suddenly stopped but Jongho did not. “Let them hear you, baby,” He grunted, thrusting into you faster. Without thought you did what you were told, continuing to moan. You were so overwhelmed with the idea of him wanting people to hear you, causing you to become even more soaked. Your walls started to quiver around him, you were so close but you didn’t want him to stop fucking you. “Holy fuck, Jongho baby. I’m going to cum!” You screamed, letting everyone know who was pleasing you. He watched as your eyebrows scrunched together and your lips parted. He then leaned down and started to kiss your neck again “Cum all over me babydoll,” he whispered in your ear, sending a shiver down your spine. He continued to thrust deep into your soaked pussy, causing the slapping noise to echo throughout the room. “I’m so happy you are mine,” he expressed, sending you over the edge. 
You felt your walls clench around him as you came. “Jongho!” you screamed, your pussy quivering around him. Your body started to shake but Jongho kept fucking you. “F-fuck!” you yelled, arching your back at the overstimulation. “That’s my girl,” he breathed, his dick twitching inside of you. “Where do you want me to cum baby?” he asked in desperation, trying to hold back until you answered. You were speechless but managed to breathe out an answer, “Cum in me, p-please.” Without hesitation, Jongho looked into your eyes as he filled you up. Jongho continued to thrust into you, moaning your name as you felt his warm liquid coat your walls. He was trying hard not to break you as he pounded into you roughly. He desperately wanted to keep fucking you until you both came again, but you both knew he had to stop. He was thrusting slowly until he came to a complete stop. You both kissed eachother passionately as Jongho held onto you tight. You both tried to catch your breath and process what just happened. 
Jongho pulled out of you slowly and got up to grab some napkins off the table. You saw his cum run down his shaft before he wiped himself off. He then spread your legs and attempted to clean you off completely. “Damn I’m sorry, there is a lot,” he chucked grabbing more napkins off the table. You couldn’t help but laugh at his shocked expression and apologetic tone. “I love you,” you expressed causing Jongho to stop in his tracks. Jongho smiled from ear to ear before speaking, “I love you too,” he replied, looking into your eyes. Your heart was fluttering and you couldn’t stop yourself from blushing. Jongho lifted you up and put you in a seated position before grabbing your bra and panties off the ground to hand them to you. “Round two at home?” Jongho asked, a smile forming on his face. “Absolutely,” you giggled.

“ eiji~! ” kagura slapped him on the back, right between his shoulder blades. “ you're going to be my valentine. teach me how to play those video game things so we can do it together. ”
the slap caught him off guard, causing him to LURCH forward slightly and nearly drop his phone at the unexpected strength kagura seemed to hide behind her small frame. wait-- did he hear her correctly? she wanted to spend the day playing video games TOGETHER and not just grab food during her short break??
he had to be hearing things, right?
but as much as he wanted to ask her about her shift at the hostess bar, a part of him felt HAPPY she was putting time aside to spend the day with him. even if she often complained he spent more time watching his monitors than seeing her model his shirts.
"hey.. did you INTENTIONALLY try to injure me so i'd lose against you miss valentine??" he asked with a soft laugh, arm reaching over his shoulder to rub his back in mock hurt. "you know i would have lost even without this disadvantage.." and with his losing STREAK, the statement was believable even if she didn't understand the controls.
"ah-- before i forget.." he reached into his backpack to pull out a bag of chocolates to hand to her, "i thought you were going to go back to work after greeting me so i got you these.. to help you get through your shift incase the customers were acting difficult." he added the last sentence quickly, not wanting her to get the WRONG idea. "but i guess we can munch on these while we game tonight. are you feeling like horror-themed or something more co-op and hackslash"

Main Materlist
Tumblr media
The word counter on the bottom of your screen wasn’t moving. At your last sentence, the little bar blinked, waiting for you to continue typing. The steam of your tea was no longer dancing in the air, and the light from your candle was dimming. 
It wasn’t a pretty sight to see, you hunched over your desk as you watched your friends at the bar you could walk to. You replayed the same video sent to you by Wanda saying everyone misses you, they were all smiling and cheering with their drinks while you sat in front of the harsh blue light from your screen to finish this paper. 
It wasn’t like you were behind or you had left it to the very last day, you were on top of it all when it came to school. But you had a schedule and plans for what you work on and when, it just so happened that you needed to finish and edit your paper tonight. 
With blurry vision, you began to type again, at this point you didn’t care what you were writing. The influx of videos and text messages was getting on your nerves, if everyone missed you so bad then why are they still there? Why don’t they wait until everyone is free to hang out? A few tears stained your grey sweats as your fingers moved effortlessly on the keyboard, making sure you covered all the research. 
There were two buzzes, you had gotten a text message which was weird because all your friends talked to each other on one large snapchat group chat. You picked up your phone and another wave of tears gathered in your eyes. 
Bucky: I thought you were gonna be here tonight, I wanted to give you a hug and tell you I’m proud of you for that 89 on your last paper
Bucky: this bar is honestly not that cool, you’d make it better. Hope you know I only wanted to come to see you, I honestly want to go home because you're not here…
You smile through the tears as you re-read the texts a few times. It was a complicated relationship between you and Bucky, you knew there was something more than a friendship between you but neither of you knew how to make a move. Both of you just crushing on each other while everyone in the group tries to point out the obvious. He always had a soft spot for you, it always seemed to work out perfectly that he’d be walking beside you or only buying you coffee. Last semester he was in the same building as you and chose to walk with you to class and hold your bag, and even though his class ended twenty minutes before yours did, he still waited for you. 
You: you have no idea how much that means to me, I’ve just been so stressed about this paper I’m literally crying over it. 
Without thinking you sent it, it was just your train of thought. You expected a half-ass apology for you being upset, maybe an emoji. But instead, you were getting an incoming facetime from Bucky, a text popped up above it asking you to pick up the call. 
“Hello?” With the lights off and the blue light hitting your face you could really see the tear streaks. 
Before Bucky said anything he just looked at you, a sympathetic look on his face. “Hey,” he said sadly, “what’s going on?” 
“Nothing,” you shrugged, “just stressed out because of this paper.” 
Bucky tilted his head to the side and then looked to his right, it looked like he was outside. Probably excused himself to make sure no one was listening. You could tell from the frame that he was wearing his favourite shirt, it was a black mock neck t-shirt that really made his muscles pop. you were there when he bought it, the entire time he was flexing while looking in the mirror in the change room. 
“What’s the subject?” He leaned back on the brick wall, he must have been in an alleyway. 
“It’s just the research paper for psych, it’s a practice one so we can get feedback for the final paper that we’re all doing.” You placed your phone against your laptop so you could look at the screen and also Bucky. 
He giggled a bit, “of course you’re getting upset over a practice paper,” you tried to giggle but it just a little sniffle, “who did I think I was talking to?” he smile through the sarcasm but it slowly flattened when he saw you staring blankly at your paper. “Hey,” he said softly, you looked back at him, “just look at me, okay? I can see the gears turning in your head when you look at your laptop and I don’t like it, so just look at me.” 
“Okay,” you mumble and give all your attention to him. He had a worried look on his face, his eyebrows turned up and his lip is slightly pouted. 
“If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?” his voice was very soft compared to the bass that was bumping in the bar. 
“Maybe some Chinese,” You shrugged and started playing this with your fingers, “I don’t know, I’m just really tired.” 
“Me too,” Bucky nodded, “I think I’m gonna call it a night.” 
“Oh,” you were hoping he’d stay on the phone a little longer, maybe try and cheer you up for a few more minutes. At the same time, it wasn’t his responsibility, it wasn’t his job to always be there when you were upset. 
“Are you with me?” He asked, “I meant leaving the bar, not hanging up the phone.” He smiled and headed back inside, the music and bass covered what Bucky was saying. He held up one finger and you saw his phone move to his back pocket, it was black for a while. You could hear him telling everyone he was leaving, he got a few groans in response. 
When he was back outside and walking he pulled his phone out again, “I’m back.”
“Hi,” you said softly as your fingers typed away, “don’t get mad, I’m just writing down an idea.” you didn’t even look at your phone, you were so focused on the screen. 
“Go ahead,” he laughed. 
It was silent between the two of you for a while, Bucky just watched as you mashed your keyboard. He had always made fun of you for how fast you typed and the strength you used when hitting the keys, he’d fake sympathy and slowly stroke your keyboard whispering something along the line of they have feelings too. 
“Oh my…” the words died on your tongue as you leaned back in your chair, “I did it! I found a way to wrap up my-oh…” the shift from excited to sadness came quick, it was another brick wall you ran right into. 
Bucky was still on the call but he was on pause, your screen was blurry and he wasn’t making too much noise. He was probably scrolling instagram and texting people back, maybe telling everyone he secretly wanted to be at the bar. Or he was googling best ways to casually hang up a facetime. He was never the confrontational type so trying to get out of this slyly was probably his best route to go. 
“Really?” he was still paused, it sounded like something else held his attention, “way to go, I’m getting close to your dorm.” 
“What?” you looked at the screen but there was no one to look at, “I thought you said you were going back to your dorm.” 
Bucky’s face came back on the screen with a smirk, “things changed,” he looked both ways before crossing, “and I also didn’t ask you what you wanted to eat for nothing…” the smirk turned into a wide grin at your shocked face, “if I see my girl crying over the phone I hope you know I’m dropping everything to see her, I also always come bearing gifts.” 
My girl. 
That’s new. 
Your chin tucked into your neck, a coy look on your face, “okay…” you drawled out as you tried to conceal the feeling of a blush, “that’s really nice.” 
“You’re funny when you get all flustered,” Bucky laughed and turned his attention to something on his left. “For Bucky? Perfect, thanks.” he nodded toward whoever that was before looking back to the screen and holding up the takeout bag, “perfect timing or what?” 
“Go to the side door,” you reached for your phone and headed out of your dorm. Your building didn’t let non-resident members of the building in, for obvious safety reasons, but there was a secret door everyone uses. 
“I’m gonna hang up, see you in a second.” Bucky hung up the phone. 
You opened the side door and saw him rounding the corner, he held up the bag again and did a little happy dance, skipping around. In the last few steps, he jogged up to you with a big smile, arms out wide for a hug. You fell into his arms and he held you tight, it was awkward with the bag but you didn't care. 
Bucky pulled away and held your hand as you both snuck back upstairs. When you reached your door you could feel him right up against you as he waited for you to unlock it, his arms held your shoulders as he laughed at you struggling to unlock it. Right when it worked you heard another door open, Bucky shoved you in and quickly slammed the door shut, pressing his back against the door as he caught his breath. You had fallen over in laughter, it quickly quieted down when there was a knock. 
“Open this door right now,” the stern voice came from your third-year supervisor who watched over the first years in this hallways, “I saw you, now open the door.” 
Your laughter turned into panic, if you and Bucky got caught you’d be in massive trouble. Even though every person on this floor had snuck someone in, didn’t make the punishment any less harsh. Not to mention the obvious trouble Bucky would get in for sneaking into a girl’s dorm. 
Bucky quickly handed you the takeout bag, “answer it.” 
“What?” you whispered, “you’re gonna get in trouble-”
“Trust me,” he stressed and jogged behind you. 
You didn’t look over your shoulder, all you did was take a deep breath and try to plan the call to your parents you’d have to make after this. The knocking didn’t stop and when you opened the door their hand didn’t stop in time and almost hit you. 
“Where’s your friend?” they had looked over your shoulder. 
You turned around and saw an eerily still dorm, “I don’t know,” you said truthfully, “what you’re talking about,” you added. You turned back and smiled, “I just went down to pick up some take-out, you did see me walk through my door but no one else is here.” 
They didn’t look convinced in the slightest, “you know that sneaking someone in can get you kicked out of your program, right?” 
You gulped but held strong, you could almost hear Bucky cheering you on, “then I have nothing to worry about, I didn’t sneak anyone in,” you turned around again and referenced your dorm, your laptop was open but the screen was not lit to save battery. 
They leaned in and looked around, after not finding anything they slowly backed away from the door. You kept smiling to stay somewhat on their good side, they weren’t having it, “alright, goodnight.” they rolled their eyes and walked away. 
You leaned your head out and when their door closed you closed yours as well, turning around to try and find Bucky. “Buck?” you asked as you walked in, “she’s gone, you can come out.” the room was dark and still, he was playing a trick on you, “Bucky please, I’m too tired and I just want to eat and lie down.” another plea went unanswered, “you’re really getting on my nerves,” you spun around again. You stood there and looked around, “okay, you win, you’re scaring me.” 
“Help…” you heard a voice come from your window. You rushed over to see Bucky standing on a small ledge, his finger gripping the window’s edge. 
“Bucky!” you took hold of his wrists and pulled him back up, “you could have gone under my bed, or in my closet, or under my sheets, or under my desk, you could have hidden behind the door!” Bucky fell on top of you, quickly getting up to close the window. 
“I thought they were going to come in the room,” he stressed and helped you up, “I heard you calling me but I was struggling out there, I’m sorry,” he cupped your cheeks and kissed your forehead. 
“Can we just eat?” you said sadly, all your energy was drained. 
“Of course,” Bucky got out all the food and you both found spots on the floor, “here, take these three.” he handed you a few cartons. 
Bucky didn’t eat much, maybe he had already eaten. You didn’t ask because you were too busy eating as much as you could, you couldn’t remember the last time you ate an actual meal. Bucky slowly picked in his carton while observing you, reminding you a few times to slow down. You just nodded and ate away, closing your eyes to savour your favourite bits. You’d get a shiver of pleasure, the food was so good you couldn’t sit still. 
You looked up once to see him staring at you, it looked unconscious but he had a little smile on his face like it was stuck there. He just giggled and looked back down at his food, shaking his head. You just kept dancing and humming at the food, a happy smirk on your face. 
“This is so fucking good,” you groaned, “thank you, I literally love you,” you sighed as you dug back in. 
“Oh-yeah, I love you too,” his voice was a little strained but he coughed so you thought something was in his throat. 
“So,” you cut yourself off by putting food in your mouth, “how disappointed were you when I didn’t show up at the bar?” you laughed through the question, not taking yourself seriously. 
Bucky laughed and looked out the window, “I started screaming,” he joked, “no but really, I…” it looked like he couldn’t find the words, “I always have more fun where you’re with the group, I was just really hoping to see you and I did which is great but when you’re drunk you make me laugh so hard.” He laughed, probably thinking of a memory.
“Yeah, whatever,” you scoffed with a smile, “I know I’m the life of the party.” 
“You sure are,” he muttered. “How’s the food?” 
You deadpanned at him, “terrible, that’s why I can’t stop eating it.” 
“Alright,” Bucky laughed and looked down, “I’m glad you’re eating it, you deserve it after that eighty-nine on that last paper.” 
“Yeah,” you nodded and ate some more. 
“And I bet you’ll do great on this practice paper and the actual one,” even though your head was down you could feel his eyes staring into your soul, he was waiting for you to look at him. When you finally made eye contact with him after slowly trailing your eyes up he said, “seriously.” 
“Yeah,” was all you could say, “I just want it to be perfect.” 
“Well you’re never gonna get that in university,” he laughed. 
“But I can try,” you shrugged. 
“I know,” he nodded, “and that’s why you’ve got the best marks out of the entire group, you strive for the best and that’s what pushes you to get those good marks, you put so much effort into every little thing, it plays off.” His carton was empty but his chopsticks had found your carton now, digging around for a certain piece. 
“Sometimes I feel like it doesn't pay off,” you watched him move your food around to find a good piece of chicken. 
“What do you mean?” he looked up and plopped the piece in his mouth. 
“I strive to get the best marks, hundred or ninety percent,” you avoid eye contact, “and I don’t always get what I want, I know I get good grades but there’s this part that’s never satisfied because I hold myself at such a high standard that’s practically impossible.” Bucky nodded along, “as much as I love the grades I’m getting I wish I could bring my expectations down so for once I can feel a little proud for getting amazing marks.” 
Bucky just looked at you for a while, “so you’re telling me you’re not proud of getting an eighty-nine?” When you didn’t respond Bucky leaned in with a terrified face, “you’re telling me you’ve never let yourself be proud of your marks?” 
“Don’t phrase it like that,” you mumbled and continued to look into your almost empty container. 
“Sweetheart, you have to give yourself some grace, some slack, anything,” his hand brushed against yours, “you can’t beat yourself up over something that is amazing, even if it doesn’t meet your standard.” 
“I can’t,” you whispered, “all I know is beating myself up, that’s it.” you shook your head, “I can’t see myself being comfortable or happy with anything less than what I expect.” 
“What percent did you want on your last paper?” Bucky held your hand. 
“You’re gonna get mad.” 
“Have I ever gotten mad at you?” Bucky asked and tugged your hand, “hey, look at me.” 
“A ninety-five…” 
He became even sadder, his eyebrows were basically touching. It almost looked like he was in pain, his lips pressed tightly together. “Sweetheart,” he sighed, “how are you not exhausted?” 
You could feel it, the tears were building up. “I’m always exhausted,” you admitted. 
He let out a breath before pulling you over, he pushed the food away and brought you into his lap. You weren’t crying but you weren’t smiling either, Bucky cupped your face and pressed it into his chest, trying to keep you covered. Your arms didn’t wrap around him, they wrapped around your own body, trying to curl yourself into a ball. 
“Just know I’m proud of you,” he whispered. 
“Okay,” was all you could say. 
With a stomach full of warm food you were tired for the rest of the night, your eyelids would slowly close and you’d hold them there for a while. Bucky caught on quickly and placed you in bed, he slipped in as well after finding a change of clothes he had left before. Sleepovers were common between everyone in your friend group, everyone had a change of clothes at your dorm. 
Bucky slipped in beside you and rested one arm on your waist, slowly rubbing your side to help you sleep. “Just fall asleep,” he whispered, “you can edit tomorrow, don’t worry.” 
“Okay,” you said again before turning and keeping your head tucked into his chest, “thanks for everything.” 
Bucky smiled down at you and brushed a few pieces of hair back, “you deserve it.” 
********
You had the paper folded in front of you, you couldn’t see the mark. This wasn’t your practice paper, this was the real deal. Your stomach was twisted in knots and it seemed to grow every second. Your lips were red and chapped from the constant biting and picking, the nerves eating away at you. 
Most people in your friend group took this class, everyone had to write a paper. It wasn’t your idea but you were all going to meet up to show each other your scores, you wanted to open it in the comfort of your dorm and cry yourself to sleep peacefully. 
Wanda was there and so was Nat, Sam was walking out with Bucky. You were all together with a folded page in front of you, Wanda kept running her finger over the crease and Nat fanned herself with the paper. Sam flicked the corner and Bucky didn’t do anything, he didn’t have a nervous tick like the rest of you. 
“Ready?” Wanda looked around, “three…two…one!” she opened hers quickly, “seventy-three, yes!” she cheered. 
“Seventy-four!” Nat jumped and pulled Wanda into a hug. 
“Seventy-eight,” Sam raised his eyebrows. 
“That’s ‘cause you’re sleeping with Mr. Monnahan,” Nat punched Sam’s arm. “What did you get. Y/N/?”
“Eight-three,” you nodded, “and I’m going to try really hard to be proud,” you looked at Bucky who had a weird face, “what did you get, Bucky?”
“Uh…” he itched the back of his neck, “an…eighty, yeah.” he smiled. 
“Congrats,” Nat patted his shoulder. 
“Thanks,” Bucky nodded and clenched his jaw. “Great job, Y/N,” he pulled you in for a hug. 
“Let’s all get celebratory coffees and scones!” Wanda gasped, “let’s go!” 
Everyone followed her down the sidewalk, talking amongst themselves. You walked Bucky who was looking into the road, he had a worried look on his face. You couldn’t help but worry, you hoped he didn’t lie and really get a failing grade. 
Natasha must have been talking about the grades, she turned around and spoke to the group, “are we surprised Y/N got the highest mark?” everyone laughed, “nope!” 
Bucky wrapped an arm around you, “but are we proud you got the highest mark?” 
Everyone replied, “yes,” out of unison. 
Bucky kept his arm there as he walked with you into the coffee shop. Everyone got in line and figured out what they were going to order, you looked at your mark a couple of times. Bucky would sneak a few glances and would nudge your shoulder if he saw you wear a sad face. 
“You know what?” you whispered to Bucky, “I put a lot of effort into this and that’s all that matters, I’m proud.” 
“Really?” he smiled. 
“Not really,” his smile dropped, “but if I say it out loud then maybe I can work on actually feeling that way,” You nodded and walked up to order. 
Bucky sneaked a bill before you could, adding his order and paying for both. Everyone took their coffees outside and began walking back to the dorm area, Bucky was still beside you. Everyone found a spot in one of the common rooms and talked casually, laughing and messing around with one another. 
Time seemed to pass faster around your friends, you were having fun so it made sense. You couldn’t help but look over at Bucky every time you laughed, seeing him do the same thing. The time was spent shit-talking the professor and talking about the spring and summer break, planning a road trip that has a seventy percent chance of falling apart because other plans come up. A few other people from the dorm room came in and started to take up space as well, everyone meshed well. Pizza was ordered and randomly a water-pong game was set up, beer wasn’t allowed in dorms because everyone was underage. 
You stuck beside Bucky and he stuck beside you, wrapping his arm around you and playing against you in water-pong. 
You threw the ball and it swished into the cup, splashing up on Bucky. “Ha!” you cheered, “beat you in water-pong for the second time, I just beat you everything, huh?” you giggled and waited for him to shoot him redemption shot. 
“Maybe not everything,” he said as he focused on the cup, after throwing and missing he shrugged, “still have one win.” 
“When? You’ve never beat me in water-pong,” you laughed and moved out of the way to let the next people start playing. 
“Not talking about water-pong,” he smirked and took a sip of water from a different set of cups. 
“What do you mean?” you laughed. 
“Don’t worry about it,” he looked over at you. 
You just looked at him with a confused face, trying to figure out what he was saying. Part of you was annoyed with the arrogance but it slowly faded when he laughed and brought you over to the group, you kept looking up at him but he gave nothing away. They were all huddled together, staring at a piece of paper. 
“What are we looking at?” you chirped, everyone quickly put the paper down, “okay…?” 
Bucky clenched his jaw and gave a silent look to Sam, “yeah, what’s this about?” 
“Nothing,” Nat quickly cut in, “it’s nothing.” 
“Okay,” you looked between everyone, “what’s going on? This isn’t normal and I feel like I’m out of the loop, so someone spill.” 
Everyone exchanged an uneasy look, figuring out who was going to be the one to talk. No one said anything, all Sam did was slowly extend the paper to you. 
“What’s…” you looked at the paper and the name at the top, “Bucky’s paper?” you scoffed and looked around, “this is what so secretive?” you laughed and flipped to the last page, “oh…” your smile dropped along with your stomach, everyone was sporting a painful look. 
Eighty-Seven percent. 
Bucky was wiping his face as you looked over, “you lied about your grade, why?” 
“Isn’t it obvious?” he rolled his head over to you, “I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.” 
You just looked back to the paper, then back to him, then the paper, “you should have just said your grade and been proud of it.” 
“Well, it was a split-second decision,” he shrugged, “and I was going to tell you later but I felt like you would have gotten real upset and discouraged if I told you what mark I got.” 
“But you got it fairly, that’s nothing to be mad at,” you handed the paper back to him, “you don’t need to protect my feelings.” 
“Really?” he sassed, “you were crying over the practice paper, that means you were really emotionally into this assignment.” 
Wanda almost spat up her water, “you cried over the practice paper?” 
“Dude,” Nat scoffed, “you’re way too emotionally attached to academic praise, you have to learn at one point or another that you aren’t going to get the high nineties anymore, we’re university students now and our expectations have to lower because of that.” 
“Guys, this isn’t why I-” Bucky tried to reason but Sam cut him off. 
“Yeah, you need to learn how to accept lower grades or you’re screwed.” Sam laughed. 
“It’s not easy,” you tried to explain, “I’m just so used to-”
“Get un-used to it,” Sam shook his head, “I think Bucky should have said his real mark to help you learn how to deal with not coming first all the time.” 
“What does that mean?” you muttered. 
“Alright,” Bucky held his hands out to break up the situation, “lesson learned, time to go to our dorms because this isn’t going to end well if we keep picking on Y/N.” 
“Of course,” Nat sighed, “how about you stop protecting your girlfriend and let her come into real life for once?” 
“The fuck did you just say?” Bucky turned his attention to Nat, “you don’t get to talk like that, alright?” He turned back to you, seeing your scared face, “wanna go to your dorm?” 
“Okay,” you whispered and took his hand, walking out of the common room and heading outside. 
As the two of you walked Bucky kept talking, muttering under his breath about how mean everyone was to you. “Like, they just flipped on you out of nowhere, so rude.” 
“They’re right,” you spoke softly before walking into your dorm building. 
“What?” Bucky turned around, “come on, don’t fall into that trap.” 
“But they’re right,” you looked up at him, “I was so used to academic validation I feel lost without it,” he gave a sad smile, “I’m used to getting a pat on the back or a good job written next to my mark, I’m used to showing my parents my work and having them smile and cheer me on. When we get papers back they misspell my name sometimes, they don’t know I exist and I’m just not used to it.” 
“But I think you’re allowed to be let down slowly, I don’t think you should just be slapped in the face and told to get over it because that’s not going to help.” Bucky brought his hand up to cup your cheek, “you’re the smartest person I know, you’re also the funniest and most beautiful.” 
“Stop…” you muttered and looked away. 
He brought your gaze back to him, “and you know what? Maybe I fucked up by lying about my mark, for that I’m sorry. I didn’t know what to do because I was scared you’d react even worse to how you were stressing about the practice paper, I didn’t want to ruin your night.” he smiled and managed to bring one out of you, “and I’m sorry for bringing up you crying over the practice paper in the heat of the moment, that was- I wasn’t thinking at all and I made it worse.” 
“Thank you,” you nodded. “I appreciate that you tried to not hurt my feelings but I think from now on you should be able to share your marks, it will help me learn to accept the marks I get. Just…maybe don’t rub it in my face.” 
“No way, I’m going to bring up this eighty-seven every single day,” he said sarcastically, “and I’ll never live it down,” he laughed and walked you into your dorm. Not even thinking to use the secret door. 
By the time you had gotten into your room, Bucky was still making sarcastic jokes about making you feel bad about the mark, “I’d never rub it in, you know me.” he said to finish it off, wiping a tear from laughing too hard. You flopped onto your bed and Bucky did the same, grunting as he made contact. “Can I sleepover tonight?” he asked. 
“Of course,” you said it like it was a fact, rolling over and cuddling on his chest. “We should watch a movie and then fall asleep and then see where auto-cue takes us or if it does the ‘are you still watching netflix?’ thing.” 
“I love the way you think,” he laughed and found a change of clothes for the both of you. 
You both crammed into the small bed and had the laptop resting on your thighs, you were back to lying on his chest, hearing his heartbeat. He had one hand resting on his thigh while the other hugged you close to him, his hand flat on your shoulder blade. It was a random movie but you both were too tired to pay attention, you could tell you would be the first one to fall asleep. As your eyes grew heavy Bucky began to rub your back, soothing you into sleep. 
“You deserve a good rest,” he whispered, “you deserve it all, my smart girl.”

HUSBAND TXT A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Choi Soobin
Tumblr media
A ⇴ AFFECTION
Despite for how long the two of you had been together, Soobin still couldn’t help but get shy around you. He was much more affectionate in private, when he knew that no one was watching, even if his cheeks still sometimes did blush.
B ⇴ BOYS
Seeing how shy Soobin got when he was around you gave the boys the perfect tool to be able to tease him from the very start of your relationship. They loved to invite you to just about everything because they saw how embarrassed Soobin got as a result of it, never missing the chance to joke with their leader.
C ⇴ COMFORT
He was great at being there for you whenever you needed comforting, even if it was just the feeling of having an arm wrapped around you that you wanted, Soobin would make sure that he was there with his arm around your frame, waiting patiently until you were ready to talk to him about what was going on.
D ⇴ DOMESTICATED
Although he wasn’t the best at being domesticated, Soobin wasn’t afraid to throw himself in when he needed to. He tried his best to help you out, or if he didn’t quite know what he was doing then he’d stand back and watch you so that he could learn how to do something. Slowly, you let Soobin take on more and more around the house, helping him so that he could do things himself without relying on you.
E ⇴ ENGAGEMENT
Despite assuring you that no fuss would be placed onto your engagement, Soobin couldn’t quite stop the boys from throwing you a party after you got engaged. They made sure to invite as many people as possible to give the two of you the best celebration, surprising you both. Although you didn’t want much fuss, you couldn’t help but admit that the boys had definitely exceeded themselves with the party.
F ⇴ FAVOURITE THING
Soobin’s favourite thing about being with you was the fact that he had a best friend in you. The two of you were glued at the hip quite a lot of the time, when you weren’t together, you would be texting in between breaks at work or sending each other videos. The boys would often find themselves having to wait for Soobin to hurry up as he couldn’t quite pull himself away from talking to you.
G ⇴ GOING OUT
You both enjoyed going out, but it was usually just the two of you. You both loved adventuring and finding new things around the city, whether it be a restaurant, a spot for date night, or just a location that the two of you could walk down to whenever you felt like you wanted to head out and get some fresh air.
H ⇴ HONEYMOON
The two of you made sure that every decision that you made towards your honeymoon was made together, it was a joint holiday and so you both wanted to ensure that everything that you did was something that you could enjoy together, even if it did end up being a tough decision for the two of you at times.
I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU”
He loved to surprise you with little things to remind you that he loved you. Soobin could come home some days with something as simple as your favourite bar of chocolate, but it was the knowing for you that he had thought of you and gone out of his way, remembering what your favourite was too, that meant a lot to you.
J ⇴ JEALOUSY
There weren’t many times when Soobin would get jealous, he knew that if you ever felt that you were uncomfortable, you’d get him to help you out. Although there were moments when he worried a little bit about what someone’s intentions were, he trusted you enough to know that if he had any reason to be jealous then you’d quickly put a stop to things, especially after the two of you got married too.
K ⇴ KIDS
It was a conversation that didn’t tend to happen too much for you both, you didn’t want to worry too much about starting a family when it was still a little way off for you both. The last thing that you wanted to do was jinx things or plan things so much that you’d end up being disappointed when it happened for you.
L ⇴ LAZY DAYS
The two of you were well known for adventuring on your days off, trekking as far out of the city as you possibly could. Staying at home wasn’t really the way for either of you, instead you liked to head out and pack up a bag of food and walk, being able to find just about anything around the city to keep yourselves occupied, forever finding new places, no matter how many times you thought you’d seen it all.
M ⇴ MORNINGS
You both enjoyed waking up together where you could, some days your mornings would be the only times that you actually got to spend with one another and so even if you didn’t have to leave the house for a long time, you’d wake up early anyway just to be able spend even so much as an hour of your day with Soobin.
N ⇴ NIGHTS
Neither of you could ever go to bed at night unless the other was home too. Whether it was through work, socialising, or anything else, you’d only be able to sleep knowing that you were both at home and safe.
O ⇴ OBSESSION
Soobin was obsessed with your personality, the two of you got along incredibly well. You knew each other like the back of your hand, being able to answer just about every question knowing what the other would say.
P ⇴ PRECIOUS MOMENTS
He loved being there to support you and cheer you on more than anything else. Although you tended to be the one cheering Soobin on stage or on tour, it was actually the chance to see you working hard and stand proud as he saw what you were working on that meant so much more to Soobin.
Q ⇴ QUESTIONS
The two of you always turned to each other for advice when you needed it, when you found a spare few minutes, you’d ask each other straight away what they thought of a situation when you couldn’t make up your minds.
R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS
Every year the two of you made sure to take a walk down to your wedding venue on the day of your anniversary so that you could reminisce. Luckily for the two of you it wasn’t too far away from where you lived so it was easy for you to head down every single year and remind yourselves of what a great day your wedding was.
S ⇴ SILENCE
Having silence between the two of you wasn’t something that neither of you were particularly worried about, you were more than happy to give each other your own space when you needed to from time to time, but at the same time, you enjoyed whenever you could go back to talking to each other again.
T ⇴ TIPS & TRICKS
Soobin’s biggest trick for making your marriage work was understanding one another. Even if you didn’t always have much time for each other, you made sure to make the most of the time that you did have together.
U ⇴ UPSET
Seeing you upset was heart-breaking for Soobin, he always made sure to try his best in order to put the smile back on your face quickly.
V ⇴ VISITS
Whenever you had some free time, the boys always made sure to get Soobin to invite you to visit them, it didn’t matter how busy they were, they always made time to show you what they were up to at work.
W ⇴ WISH LIST
The biggest thing that Soobin wished for was you, he wanted to make sure that all of your dreams came true alongside all of his.
X ⇴ XXXX
There was a very limited time when Soobin would be able to kiss you before he’d end up having to pull away because his cheeks were darkening, refusing to let you see that he was blushing and let you tease him.
Y ⇴ YOU
You were his rock, through everything that he went through Soobin had you there.
Z ⇴ ZZZ
Most nights the two of you fell asleep as close to each other as you possibly could, even during the summer there was still very little distance between you both as you enjoyed laying beside each other closely.

Secret's Out
Summary: Request! Reid and Y/N are secretly dating, but their business doesn't stay their business for long.
Warnings: Criminal Minds level violence
Word Count: 2974
a/n: Thank you for the request! I hope you like it :)
Sorry this took forever! It took me a while to think of case details that I liked and then I kept rewriting parts. I think I'm finally happy with it though!
Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Spencer!" You pushed him away. "The doors could open at any moment! How are we supposed to keep this a secret if Morgan walks in on us kissing in the elevator?" You raised a brow at him.
"On average, elevators travel at a speed of 200 ft/min or about 4 seconds per floor. Being on the fifth floor means we have about 20 seconds to ourselves." He smiled triumphantly.
"Yeah, until someone surprises us on floor 3." You rolled your eyes, stepping out of the doors once they opened.
"I can't help it. I'm just... really happy with you." He whispered softly.
"I'm really happy too." You smiled at him. You were about to lean in when the elevator doors opened once again to reveal JJ and Emily.
"Hey guys, ready for another case?" Emily glanced between you suspiciously, but thankfully didn't ask any prying questions.
"Yep, let's go!" You turned quickly, walking into the round table room without so much as a glance back at the three agents by the elevator.
"What's with her?" JJ questioned.
"Said she didn't sleep well last night. Must be all the caffeine." He held his own cup off coffee up in solidarity before also walking to the round table room.
"Alright, we've got 3 dead in Billings, Montana. All three were law enforcement, and all three were found this morning around the city." You listened as Penelope introduced the details of the case.
"Could be someone who feels the police didn't do a good enough job protecting a loved one?" You threw out a theory.
"Or someone who feels wronged by the criminal justice system as a whole." Rossi added on.
"Either way, they likely won't stop until we catch them. Wheels up in 20." Hotch rose from his seat as he spoke, wasting no time in preparing for take off.
You all dispersed briefly to grab your go bags, meeting back at the SUVs to head to the jet.
Once boarded, it didn't take long for the conversation to start up again.
"When we land, L/N go to the morgue. Dave, Prentiss take the first and second crime scenes, they're only a mile apart. Morgan and Reid, check out the third scene. I'll head to the precinct with JJ."
With Hotch's instructions set, you took what little time you had left on the flight to go over the causes of death.
-
"Anything stand out to you on the bodies?" You asked the ME after going over the blunt force trauma and bullet wounds.
"There's tape residue and bruising on the wrists and ankles. Based on the state of bruising, they were likely held for about 3 days before they were killed."
"Thank you for your help." You shook hands, pulling out your phone to call Hotch.
"Hotchner."
"Hotch, they were held for days before they were killed. How did nobody notice they were missing?" There was nothing in the reports that indicated the victims were reported missing prior to being found.
"We just found the same pattern. They all used vacation days for various reasons in the days leading up to their deaths. Meet us back at the precinct and Reid can explain the whole pattern."
"Okay, I'm leaving now." You hung up just as you reached the SUV. Throughout the drive, you couldn't stop thinking that something wasn't adding up.
The victims were taken in the same day. It didn't make sense for the unsub not to escalate. So, why aren't any officers unaccounted for?
Suddenly, a truck crashed into your SUV, sending you flying off the road. A figure dressed in black opened the door and dragged you from the car.
"Agent L/N, it's so good to see you again." A male voice spoke, but you couldn't place it.
He hit you over the head with a handgun before dragging you to his own vehicle.
-
"Where's L/N?" Emily questioned when her and Rossi returned from the second dumpsite.
"On her way back from the ME." Hotch answered. "Did you find anything useful?"
"They truly are dumpsites. Both bodies were found by dumpsters, sending a pretty clear message." Dave replied.
"Same for the third site." Derek added on.
"All three victims were single and took time off leading up to their death. Nobody would've notice that they were missing until it was too late." Reid supplied the final bit of information gathered.
Hotch's phone rang before anyone else could comment. The frantic sound of Garcia's nails clicking against her keyboard echoed through the phone. She was talking before anyone could greet her.
"You need to see this, check your tablets."
Confused glances were exchanged as everyone, barring Reid, opened their tablets. Reid glanced over Morgan's shoulder to observe as well.
A seemingly live video that Garcia received a link to was streaming to the tablets.
A single woman sitting in a chair could be seen in the frame. Her wrists and ankles were bound to the chair with thick, gray tape and a bag was over her head.
"Garcia, what is this?" Hotch asked almost immediately.
"I was emailed the link just now. It's not streaming anywhere else online." Her reply came quickly, the sound of typing still filling in the silence.
"Can you trace it?" Rossi questioned.
"I'm trying, but it's being routed through multiple proxy servers."
"Did the email say anything?" Emily chimed in.
"No, it was just the link- Wait. I just got another email." She paused as the new email loaded. "It's addressed to Reid."
Every set of eyes in the room turned to Reid.
"What does it say?" He felt the nerves beginning to grow waiting for Garcia to read the words aloud.
"Dr. Reid,
I hope you remember me. What am I saying, of course you do. I've got something of yours that you might want back. You see Dr. Reid, you and your team ruined me. My family, my career, all of it, just gone. I thought I'd return the favor. A person's phone can be so informative. Tell me, does your team know about your girlfriend? I've so enjoyed getting reacquainted with her.
Happy hunting."
Spencer's face went white as he looked at Morgan's tablet again. His thoughts were racing. How did he not recognize you before? Even with the bag over your head, he should've known it was you.
"It's her." His words were barely a whisper.
"This is your girlfriend?" Morgan gestured to the screen again. Spencer could only nod in reply, his mind unable to focus on anything except you.
"Reid, listen to me. You've got to tell us everything you know about her. We'll have to split up. You can go back to Quantico with Emily and Morgan, the rest of us will stay here to work on our current case." Hotch was already devising a strategy to work both cases.
"There's no need." His words made sense to him, but sounded cryptic to the rest of the team.
"Kid, of course there is. We'll help you get her back." Morgan placed a hand on his shoulder, effectively shocking him back to the present situation.
"There's no need to split up because she's here. She's in Montana." Before he could continue, everyone was asking questions.
"Give me a phone number and I'll get you a location." Garcia was already typing away again.
"Are you sure she's here?" JJ's brows furrowed. She did her best to hide the hurt of her best friend hiding his girlfriend from her, again.
"Why would she be here?" Rossi added.
"How did she get here? Maybe we can track the transportation and figure out means of abduction." Emily was the only one thinking about the case.
Like ripping off a bandaid, Spencer blurted out the truth.
"It's Y/N."
He was met with silence in the room as everyone absorbed the information.
Garcia caught up first, a sudden gasp sounding through the phone.
"So, then that's Y/N... in the video..." Her voice wavered.
As if a switch was flipped, the team was back on the case.
"Garcia, get me a list of anyone who would have a grievance with the team." Hotch ordered.
"Go through anyone who was falsely accused. Start with cases in or around Montana. He would want to keep this close to home." Rossi specified.
"We've only had one case in Montana since Y/N joined the team." Reid supplied the knowledge as it came to him. "A name, I need a name." He muttered to himself, pulling his hair as he roughly ran his hands through it and over his face. "Garcia, look into Jameson Braddock."
"Got it." She immediately began a background check, searching through case files and news articles for additional information. "i'll get back to you with locations." With that, she hung up.
"Fill us in, kid. Who is Jameson Braddock." Morgan lead Reid to a chair, gently easing him into it.
"Our last case in Montana, Emily and I went to interview a witness." Emily nodded, the memories slowly coming back to her.
"He wasn't very forthcoming, and then he tried to run." She added on.
"Exactly, except he didn't make it very fair. We arrested him, but it turned out he was only guilty of selling alcohol to minors. When word of his arrest got out, the whole town thought it was for the serial rapes and murders we were investigating even though it was never confirmed."
"By the time we corrected the media, it was too late." JJ supplied, also remembering the man.
"So, he killed three officers just to draw us out back out here?" Morgan refocused the conversation on the current case.
"It looks that way now. The media knew we were coming, so he must have as well." Emily theororized. "If he followed us from the airport, he would've seen Y/N leave by herself."
"He likely didn't know about your relationship until he abducted her and went through her phone." Hotch paced the room.
"He's flaunting his power over us." Rossi chimed in just as Hotch's phone rang again.
"Garcia, what've you got?"
"Three addresses in Billings, Montana. Jameson Braddock has been on a downward spiral since your last trip there. His entire life fell apart, like he said. Divorced, his wife moved to Nebraska with their two kids. He lost his job at the high school, and was evicted from his house when he could no longer pay the bills." She listed the information quickly.
"He has ties to three addresses. Nobody has moved into his previous house, so it's vacant. He's got a small apartment in the northern part of the city which he pays for through working odd hours at Taco Bell. Finally, he briefly worked security at a now abandoned warehouse."
"An apartment wouldn't be enough space to hold her without the chance of someone hearing. She's not there." Rossi eliminated the location as an option.
"We'll split up to cover the warehouse and the house-" Hotch began, but Reid cut him off.
"No, we shouldn't split up. She's got to be at the house. The warehouse has no connection to his previous life. He wants revenge for our perceived wrongdoing, he wouldn't make his last stand at a new location." Reid was already putting on a bullet proof vest. Despite how his mind was racing, he refused to show how afraid he was.
"You're sure?" Morgan asked, on the fence about committing to one location.
"Absolutely." With that, Reid was out the door heading for the SUVs.
-
"Rossi, Emily head around back. I'll take the front with Reid. JJ and Morgan, the side door." Hotch instructed the team to split up upon arrival at the house.
Reid wasted no time in approaching the house. He was confident you were inside, but he didn't know what was happening to you.
The main floor was cleared quickly. Again, the team split up to cover the upper level and the basement.
Knowing you were likely downstairs, Reid immediately started that direction, JJ and Hotch following him.
It wasn't hard for him to find you. You were still tied to the chair in the middle of the room, bag over your head.
Before anyone could stop him, Reid lowered his gun and ran to you. He gently maneuvered the bag off your head, stopping his movements only when he felt something press into his back.
"Dr. Reid. So kind of you to join us." Braddock spoke maniacally, pressing the gun against Reid's head.
"Drop your weapon." Hotch commanded, but the man only cackled in response.
'Y/N... Y/N." Reid gently shook you in an attempt to wake you up.
"She can't hear you." Braddock singsonged.
"What did you do?" Reid tried to turn to him only to feel the gun press further into his head.
"Like I said in my email, you people ruined my life. They took everything from me, so I thought I'd try to return the favor." During his short speech, Braddock shifted just enough for JJ to get a clean shot.
He fell to the ground, gun clattering across the floor.
Reid moved quickly to remove the tape binding you to the chair while Hotch called for a medic in the basement.
The entire team watched as you were wheeled into the ambulance, still unconscious, none more scared than Spencer.
-
"She's going to be fine, Spence." JJ tried to reassure him, nonetheless his pacing continued.
"You don't know that. We don't even know what he did to her." He had one hand anxiously running through his hair, the other pinching the bridge of his nose in distress.
Just then, a doctor emerged from behind closed doors.
"F/N L/N." She called into the waiting room, slightly taken aback when the group of agents rushed to her.
"It was touch and go for a while, but she got here just in time." It was visible to even the least qualified profiler how relieved the team felt. Their previously tense shoulders relaxed, frowns turned to small smiles, wide eyes and raised brows pinched together with joy.
"What happened?" Emily posed the question everyone was thinking.
"In short, she was drugged. It's not clear what exactly was used, but it was likely a mix of drugs that attempted to stop her heart."
"Can we see her?" Morgan spoke next, cautiously eyeing Reid.
"You may, follow me." The doctor lead them through a series of hallways to your room. "She should be waking up soon."
With that the doctor left, allowing the team to file into the room. You looked strangely peaceful for someone who almost died.
"So..." JJ glanced between you and Spencer. "Girlfriend, huh?"
His eyes went wide. Instinctively, he turned to you for help, but you were still asleep. He opened his mouth to answer, but no words came out.
"Relax, kid." Morgan grinned. "We're happy as long as you two are happy."
Spencer smiled gratefully, looking at you with an adoring gaze. "We are happy."
"How long?' Emily gestured to your joined hands. Just before Spencer could answer, you groaned.
"I want to hear your guesses first." Your voice was raspy, but there was a clear smile on your face. "Also, what happened?"
The quickly explained the email Garcia received and the events that followed.
"Now that that's cleared up, do tell us how long you think we've been together. I know you've got a bet going." You narrowed your eyes, playfully glaring at each team member.
"4 months." Hotch begrudgingly admitted. JJ followed with 3 months, Derek and Rossi both betting 10 weeks, and Emily going with 6 weeks.
"Ha, you're all wrong." You smiled triumphantly, leaning closer to Spencer.
"Wait, we haven't heard from Garcia." Derek smirked as he rung her on speaker phone.
"Oh, my beautiful crime fighters. Y/N, are you okay?" Your smile widened at the concern in her voice.
"I am indeed, but I have a very important question for you." You glanced as Spencer briefly before continuing. "How long do you think Spence and I have been together?"
"Oh, I know this one!" Her excitement caught everyone but you off guard. "7 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days."
Spencer's jaw dropped as he stuttered out, "that's exactly right..."
"How'd you figure it out?" The group of profilers wore matching expressions of surprise as Penelope explained.
"Well, we had just finished testifying in the Bigelow trial. The whole team went out for drinks, and I could just see it in Y/N's eyes the next day that something wonderful happened. At first I just thought that she got some, but then I saw her and the good doctor in the kitchen getting coffee and I knew." Penelope's voice held a mixture of smugness and pure excitement.
"Babygirl, you didn't tell me?" Derek sounded genuinely offended.
"Y/N asked me not to." Even though you couldn't see her, you knew she punctuated the statement with a shrug.
"You knew, she knew?" Spencer turned to you in shock.
You nodded. "I could see it on her face the second I walked out of the kitchen. But she promised not to tell, so I didn't either."
"The two of you, thick as thieves." Rossi lamented.
"I love you so much." Spencer whispered into your ear as he pulled you in for a hug.
"I love you too." You whispered right back.
"Honestly, I'm glad the secret's out." You smiled at Spencer before looking at the rest of the team. "Although, I wish I didn't have to be kidnapped to tell you."
You spent a few more hours in the hospital before being cleared to go back to the hotel.
The next morning, you smiled to yourself as you were finally able to cuddle with Spencer during the flight home.

They Hung Up
Masterlist
Summary: August can always fix your problems, especially when someone is ripping off his princess.
Warnings: fluff, ddlg, daddy kink
A/n: inspired by my chat with ebay this morning. Apparantly ebay will charge buyers import and customs VAT on items that aren't even being imported into the country... or going through customs. And they don't charge this at checkout they only charge it when they take the actually money. When i told the lady thats stealing your taking more then the agreed amount from my bank she hung up on me telling me to 'speak to the tax office'
Taglist: in reblogs.
Tumblr media
"No but you cant charge import tax on something that isn't being imported.... No they cant that's illegal look I just want my money beck for the tax-what do you mean no?!... Hello? Hello?" You could have cried you were so angry and upset. You closed locked your phone screen and sniffed shaking your head in frustration.
"Princess what's wrong?" You snapped your head to your daddy, august was scowling. You could see the aggravated look as he took in your tears. Your daddy never liked you wasting them on other people. Your sweet pure tears were only meant to be shed for him! Every droplet was his to pull from you, be it tears of rapturous pleasure or shed from being spanked for being naughty.
"August? I? they hung up on me!" You hissed quickly running over to him tucking yourself into his thick frame pressing your head into his chest trying to soak in the smell of his aftershave. The spicy scent was heady and a little overbearing, you could tell why. Under the spice was the metallic twang of blood and deep sooty smell of fired bullets. You both loved and hated it, as safe as it made you feel remembering just who and what he was if frightened you, one day he could be hurt.
"Who? Sweetpea?" He purred softly needing to calm you down before he could make heads roll. His arms encircled you squeezing you tightly and he rested his chin on your head the  began swaying with you slowly.
"The support desk! They charged import tax! And nothing was imported! Daddy I was careful and-and I checked and double checked there was no warning not on check out or nothin' then they took another ten dollars on top and now my bank is angry and charging me for going over!" You said quickly panicked that he would be mad at you for spending too much again.
"Okay pumpkin slow down... Tell daddy what's going on slowly... Don't miss anything out okay angel" he said pulling you back a little to let you catch your breath. But you quivered and opened your mouth wiping at your eyes before trying to argue.
"Yeah but!?"
"Shh shh no buts take a deep breath... Now out, good girl now start from the beginning" he coaxed slowly cooing at you as you took a few breaths and calmed, settling down n his arms feeling safe and secure, even if you were still angry.
"I got that lamp with the shelves... It was fifty four dollars and ninety nine cents" you started explaining from the beginning and waited for August to nod.
"Yes I know, I remember you showing me to see if it would fit in the corner" he spoke remembering the little pull cord box lamp and three shelves, you wanted it for the internet router and house phone to sit on so you had more room for snacks on the side table.
"Well I got it and paid but then when paypal billed me they charged sixty four dollars and ninety-nine cents... I messaged them and they said it was import tax!" You cried out getting yourself all angry again, cheeks puffing out sweetly as you huffed and growled even throwing you hands up in frustration. August made to speak but you continued your tale of the mean support desk and their money thieving ways.
"I looked it up and cos its coming for inside the state I don't have to pay! So I called and they said I had to because the shop was registered outside of the USA! But its wrong! They're wrong and when I asked for my money she hung up on me! She said I have to talk to the tax office people!" August frowned that wasn't right and he knew it. It was clear you were being taken for a fool. These bastards were at it all over the place he'd seen some of it on the news, instead of tax evasion as we know it there was a new crime. Stealing tax from buyers and classing it as profit. Because its tax most people don't question it.
"And then my bank sent me this! Saying I was over my limit and in the minus! So now they are taking twenty dollars when my next allowance goes in!"  You cried quickly pulling up an email on your phone from your bank showing a notice of charges you now had on your account.
"Its not fair I didn't do nothing wrong daddy but now I'm loosing the tax and twenty dollars of my allowance!" You yelled and began sniffling again your lip wobbling. His heart melted as he watched you try so hard not to break down and cry again. You were being his big brave girl.
"Okay pumpkin i will sort this out give me the phone" he said plucking the phone from you then turned around heading to his office.
"But you cant! Its a withheld number-" you said sniffling following him one hand fisting the back of his jacket as he strode through the pent house to the secure room.
"Oh come on sweetheart don't tell me I'm going too soft and you've forgotten just who your daddy is~" he cooed opening the door and ushering you to the small teepee in the corner that had a large iPad and a few fuzzy scatter cushions .
"Go sit and watch YouTube or something okay? Let daddy fix this mess" he said pulling your headphones from the drawer and handed them to you ushering you to the small cozy spot he had made you.
You watched as he plugged your phone into his computer and made a few quick clicks before picking up his own phone and dialled a number with a smug look the  clicked his fingers at you pointing to the headphones wanting you to pop them on and stop worrying. You pouted but slipped on the large pink headset  and pretended to loom at your screen and select a video in reality you were listening to your daddy.
"Yes you wouldn't recognize it. How? Well this is a government number, you just told a young lady to inform us about taxes?" You flicked your eyes up at him grinning hearing the professional growl to his voice the 'daddy means business' tone that made you quiver with want and fear. It never meant good things, most of the time he used this tone when you were a bad girl. You only hoped the mean woman on the phone felt bad now too.
"Why yes, yes she did a miss y/n yes that's her. I would like for you to put me through to head office" you bit your lip hearing him begin his assault. No one not even the lady on the phone and her jargon would out smart your daddy!
"Pardon me I'm sorry I'm Mr Walker...I work for the tax office in her state and have decided to open an investigation about tax fraud over the issue, we have had many complaints... oh yes she informed us of everything, she was distressed over the tax miscalculation? Which has caused her to go over drawn on her account and incurred charges" he spoke firmly and turned looking to you as you giggled watching him in his huge leather spiny chair. You gasped when he frowned and pointed a finger to your iPad clearly telling you to stop being nosey and watch your videos.
"Yes I am aware of that but the shop is registered overseas, it doesn't export from overseas... so there is no international import tax due." He continued spinning around in the chair making a few notes on the large paper pad in front of him.
"Yes that's why I'm calling I've been on your website and your policies are in fact breaking the law and infringing on the rights of consumers. Do you understand? What you have done is illegal and fraudulent and I can see it isn't the first time so I would like to speak to your head of office now- thank you" you quickly looked down as August spun once more and grunted at you pointing to the door with a scowl catching you eavesdropping again.
"Poppet either watch your videos or go and have some lunch" he said covering the mouthpiece on the phone making you pout and flick your legs at him and cross your arms stubbornly. You wanted to watch!
"Decide or I will decide for you" he said raising his brows at you but you just huffed pleading with your eyes at him to let you stay and listen.
"Right lunch it is come on up! Off you pop go make a sandwich and have some juice" he said holding out his hand for the headphones.
"But I want to see you tell them off daddy!" You huffed non to impressed at being set out of the room so quickly.
"No, now do as I've asked daddy will be out in a few minuets this wont take long" you held his gaze for a few moments before you lost your nerve then stood with a pout handing him your headphones and left the room closing the door when you were told to.
Tumblr media
It was twenty minuets alter August came put of the office and padded to the kitchen seeing you at the breakfast bar swinging on a chair whislt munching a chocolate spread sandwich a few candy wrappers on the side and packets of chips and un touched apple. He sighed giving you the stink eye but didn't say anything. You found a loop hole he said lunch and sandwich... he hadn't specified what type of lunch and sandwich.
"All sorted poppet! Your being refunded and getting compensation which will be debited into your account in forty eight hours" he said rounding the breakfast bar snatching the apple opening the cutlery drawer fishing out a knife.
"That's quick daddy... I thought they can only do it in five days?" You asked watching as he sliced the apples and began cutting the core out for you.
"Oh princess its amazing what people can do when they think the big bad tax man is on to them~" he chuckled at your face as he placed the apple on your plate. You didn't want to eat it but you would . Quickly. Because if you left it too long itd go brown and you would whine about it, get a warning and end up having to eat it anyway.
"Will you get in trouble? you pretended to be the tax man daddy" You said cautiously lifting a small apple wedge to your mouth and nibbled it.
"Me? Of course not daddy has many different identities love, and I can use them when I want love... besides we just uncovered a company that not only evades tax but it stealing it!" He grinned. If there was one thing he liked it was justice. Everyone should pay their dues. Especially someone who rigs a system to benefit themselves.
"And.. My bank charges?" You asked still unsure if he will be mad a you for over spending...Again
"All gone, daddy will cover them princess; now just how much chocolate spread is in that sandwich?" He said leaning over your plate trying to pry apart the two slices of bread.
"Err a little" you shrugged still eating your apple whist trying to smoosh your sandwich and hide the super thick chocolatey layer.
"Mm hmm there's more chocolate then bread poppet~" he hummed unimpressed but let it slide, again you'd found your loophole, the last thing he'd do is punish you for being a smart ass. It could save your life one day.
"Sorry daddy" you said whilst pulling the plates closer to yourself protectively worried he would steal our chocolate.
"Oh don't be poppet once its gone its gone its you that will miss it not me" he chuckled and spun around crossing the kitchen to make his own lunch. You grinned happily, what had been a bad day was getting better and better! You were getting your money back, compensation,  your daddy was paying your and charges and you got to keep your chocolate spread! What more could you ask for? Well there was one more thing you could ask for.
"Daddy can I have a puppy?"

rock
Summary - spencer wants to figure out what's wrong with you, only to be reminded what day it is and he remembers why you've been so distant.
TW: talk abt: rape, recovery, therapy, case stuff; mention of: drug addiction, rape, miscarriage, being shot, death lol
WC - 4,283
!DISCLAIMER! - i am in no way trying to romanticize recovery from a traumatic event or being upset/depressed/anxious. this is kinda my way of getting through my own issues, so please don't think that's what i'm trying to do in any way. i also don’t know how i feel abt this ending since i wrote it so long ago but oh well!
i just realized there are a few spoilers so i'll put *asterisks* around them. those parts are just explaining how the reader's always there for the team.
Tumblr media
----------------------------------
you had always been the rock in spencer's life.
mentally, at least.
when he had nobody there for him when he was going through his addiction with dilaudid, there you were. you helped him through it when everybody else on the team acted as if they never noticed.
you were the one that encouraged him to get help, and pushed him to follow through. you made sure he ate and talked to someone when he had his urges again, even if it wasn't you.
you let him come over and cry about what had happened, and how unfair his life was. you consoled him and would tell him how nothing was his fault. how he didn't deserve anything bad in his life.
*and when emily 'died', he went to your house every day. you held him as he felt himself falling apart from losing her. you didn't even worry about yourself needing to be consoled, because spencer needed you to be there for him.
*when she came back you were the one to convince him to forgive her. you talked sense into him. you reminded him how much he pleaded to have her back, and then he did. so he managed to forgive her... because of you and your logic.
*and you weren't just there for spencer. while, yes, you made a special effort to be there for him, you were there for everyone on the team.
*when derek was arrested back in chicago and the team found out about his past, you were the one he leaned on for comfort. you and penelope. you let him cry on your shoulder and yell at you about how twisted a man would have to be to do something so cruel to a child.
*when jj was kidnapped and beaten to a miscarriage, you were the first she told. you didn't say anything. you knew there was nothing you could say that would relinquish the pain of losing a child. so you let her cry. you let her hug you for what felt like hours. you let her grief her unborn baby for as long as she needed.
*when penelope was shot, nobody cared to check up on her after the fact except you. you went to her apartment for weeks just to make sure she was okay. eventually, she was able to let loose all of her frustrations on you, and you took it like a champ. she ranted about how she just wanted to be loved by someone attractive and how unfair and cruel the world is, in spite of how much good she tries to bring into it.
*when hotch lost hailey, you took care of his files. you offered to watch henry and let hotch cry to you about losing her a few times once you broke past his tough exterior. you even cried with him and jack. you made them dinner whenever you could, and helped him look for good nannies to help care for jack.
*when rossi lost carolyn, you went to her grave with him on many occasions. you brought him his favorite scotch, which was very pricey, and his favorite cigars, also very pricey, and tried your best to recreate 'the rossi special' upon his directions. it helped him feel in control of something when he needed it.
*and when emily came back from the dead, you helped walk her through her own grief. she lost herself, and buried her emotions. you helped her dig up her old self, and grow into an even better woman. you even took care of her cat when penelope couldn't manage. you helped emily grieve her own death when she wanted to deny it ever happened, and she was forever grateful for you.*
you had become like the team's built-in therapist when something bad happened, and you loved it that way. you loved being the one the team went to when they needed it. it made you feel as though you had a purpose, which was something you desperately needed.
but when you went through your own trauma almost a year ago, you refused help from anyone. you knew you should've asked someone for help, or at least someone to cry or talk to when you needed to.
the team had been working on a case for longer than expected, 8 days now, and everyone was really frustrated. you had released the profile 7 days ago, and there was still no new information. it was as if the unsub had gone dormant, and you all couldn't bear that thought.
when the team released earlier than normal from the precinct and you all went to the hotel you had been staying at, you decided to get a drink from the bar quickly. you went alone, wanting to review a few of the case files during the process and not needing a distraction.
you ordered a jack and coke, and opened the case files to begin rereading them, seeing if you had missed anything.
victims were kept for 24 hours, filmed, raped, restrained, cut in pieces, and thrown in the trash like garbage. it was absolutely disgusting, and the worst you had seen in a while. the victims were low-risk and most of them had a place of authority.
the unsub had been profiled to be someone who was bossed around by a woman, narcissistic and egotistical, wanted to feel more power and authority.
the problem is, that profile was most people living in the area. even penelope couldn't dwindle down the suspects.
and alas, you had missed nothing. nothing new appeared or caught your eye. you gulped down the rest of your drink and paid for it before packing up your things to head upstairs. you tossed the file back into your bag and began the trek to the elevator.
you were interrupted by something hitting the top of your head, rendering you unconscious.
the team had woken up, and after waiting around for half an hour, spencer realized something was wrong. he had morgan bust into your room, only to find the bed unslept in. you were missing. and the worst part... you fit the unsubs type.
spencer felt his heart drop at the realization he had taken you. and it seemed as though there was no trail as to where you had gone. penelope checked the cameras, only to find that they were hacked right after you left the bar, and then they resumed after you were taken.
at least they had a time frame.
later that day, after everyone hasting to figure something, anything out, spencer had gotten an email. he opened it and expected it to be relentless spam, only to realize it was a live feed video. a video of you. he instantly called penelope in hopes that she could trace it.
she said she could, but it would take some time because the amount of routers it had been going through.
while they were waiting, you noticed you were alone. you knew who the unsub was too, thanks to his baffling stupidity and narcissism that lead him to believe he wouldn't get caught.
"officer johnson! it's officer johnson!" you looked around the camera for a second, noticing something moving. "he-he here," you cried out. "i love you," you said to the camera to nobody in particular, but someone in mind.
you were terrified. spencer could see it in your eyes. he could see the tears you tried not to shed. you didn't want to please him, but you couldn't help but feel the absolute horror and fear coursing through your body at a relentless pace.
"hi there, missus fbi," he teased, finally walking into the frame with a ski mask over his face, clearly not aware that we knew his identity.
spencer told garcia who he was, and she began her digging. officer johnson's great grandparents had owned a farm that was since then refurbished. it was an hour away.
officer johnson had known that you two had chemistry. that's why he sent the email to spencer. he saw the longing glares, the 'innocent' touches, the smiles you would give each other, the longing looks you shared. he wanted to torment him.
so when he began undressing you and you turned your face away from the camera in hopes of sparing some of your own dignity, spencer felt his heart breaking for you. it broke even more when he heard the yelps, and screams, and please, and "no!'s" you elicited during the act.
they caught him before he cut you, but not before he finished the first part of his plan. your skirt was ripped, and your shirt was practically in two pieces. spencer had given you his jacket to cover yourself as much as you could.
you stayed silent the ride back. you didn't even let spencer hold you like you normally would after a tough case. you were ashamed. embarrassed. you felt worthless. you felt pathetic. you felt stupid. you felt helpless. you felt like you were drowning. you felt like you were without a life raft.
you knew you could talk to the team about it, but you felt so disgusted by the thought of what happened to you that you only talked about it in your therapy sessions.
hotch had given you two months off. he wanted you to grieve, and go to therapy, and try to cope with everything that had happened.
and you did try to do that. you tried your hardest to get over it and move past it, but nothing helped. not the journaling. not the talking. not the crying. nothing was working.
spencer gave you a little space at first, but he then decided to try to help you as you had helped him. he went over to your house almost every day, and sat outside your door after you wouldn't let him in.
you knew he was there... you sat on the other side.
"i-i know that you probably don't want to see anyone right now. and i'm uh, i'm sure you feel alone right now, or like you can't talk to anyone," spencer sniffled. "but pl-please just uhm, just know that i'm here when you want to talk about it. i'm here to listen to you when you need me to. i-i don't want you to be alone during this time, y/n. please, just let me in," he begged.
that was normally what he would say almost every night he went to your house. he would sit outside for hours after he would ask you to let him in without fail. until one day you let him in.
spencer felt so much relief when you opened the door, only for it to be smashed when he noticed your eyes looked red and puffy, your cheeks were stained with the tears you had been crying for so long. your cheeks were sunken in, and there were dark circles underneath your eyes that were once full of life and happiness. your eyes no longer had that gorgeous sparkle in them.
spencer vowed he would get them back.
as much as spencer wanted to wrap his arms around you in that moment, to comfort you and tell you that he was there, he wanted you to make the first move. he wanted to tell you how strong you were and how proud of you he was for getting through that. he wanted to tell you how much he loved you.
he wanted you to make the first touch, because he didn't want to further upset you. he didn't want to trigger a repressed memory, or bring back the feelings of what had happened.
but spencer's touch was nothing like the officer's. spencer's touch was soft and gentle. spencer's touch was feather-light and endearing. spencer's touch was love and home. the officer's was brittle, and rough, and repulsive.
"hug me?" you sniffled as your eyes welled with tears again as they had been for the past three weeks.
"of course," spencer slowly wrapped his arms around your shoulders as yours found his torso.
he walked inside with you still in his arms and slowly shut the door. without breaking from the hug, you both walked to the couch and sat down.
you didn't say anything. you just needed spencer to keep hugging you, so he did. he did whatever you wanted, needed, from him. eventually, you fell asleep in his embrace on the couch.
when spencer looked down at you, now sleeping against his chest, he couldn't bring his heart to remove himself from you. so like any whipped man would do, he carefully picked you up bridal styled and carried you to your room. he took his shoes off as well as his sweater vest before cuddling back up next to you.
as if it was a reflex, you cuddled up into his chest when he neared you again and got underneath the covers. spencer slept the best he did in months with you. and you slept without officer johnson in your dreams for the first time since that day.
ever since then, spencer had been making sure you were eating and drinking. he took you to your therapy sessions and stayed over most nights you had asked and he was able to.
they had a few cases during the two months, so every moment he could, spencer was with you. he coaxed you back to your normal-ish self. he watched as that glimmer in your eye began to slowly grow brighter everyday. he watched as your smile came back, and your tears didn't come so frequently.
the first time he had heard you laugh again, spencer had thought he was dreaming. he wished he had recorded that moment. he was more grateful than he's ever been in his life that he had an eidetic memory, because that sound would forever be engraved in his brain.
when you returned to work, you clung to spencer. he had become your tether to reality, and hope. he had become your rock during the recovery.
over the months, everyone slowly began to forget what had even happened. things went on as usual, and the team forgot the traumatic experience you had gone through. even spencer might've let the experience get lost in his brain.
so when it became 11 months and 3 weeks since the abduction, you began to distance yourself once again.
you politely declined going out with the team a couple days before the anniversary, something you never did. you insisted that you were just especially worn out from the case you had just been on.
spencer had to finish files given to him by derek anyway, so he didn't get to witness the encounter.
once the day of the anniversary came upon you, you found yourself feeling sick to your stomach. you couldn't help the tears that would fall from your face every so often. you knew why you felt this way, but you wanted to push past it.
you had gone into the office wearing a pantsuit and blazer, wanting to avoid the normal office skirt you happened to be wearing the day it happened. you stayed at your desk and quietly did your case files. you didn't even greet spencer as you would every day. you gave him a kind smile, but you would normally give him a hug, or at the very least an eager wave upon his arrival.
spencer just assumed it was one of those days where you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. it wasn't spencer's fault he thought this. he didn't even look at his calendar to check what day it was. he just knew they had paperwork.
but he did have this day marked in his calendar. he had it marked so he would remember to be extra kind to you, and do your files for you, and come to your place with your favorite wine and takeout. he wanted to help you through the one year anniversary, but he forgot to check his stupid calendar.
you thought he didn't care. you thought the man who you loved, and the man who helped you through everything that had happened had had enough of your complaining and grievances. so, you didn't tell him about it. you didn't bother him with the terrible thoughts clouding your mind because you thought it'd burden him.
so when you finished all of your case files early, you asked hotch if you could leave early, at 2:00, because you had things to tend to. he allowed you to do so, but this rose a flag for spencer.
he saw you exit without saying goodbye to him, something you hadn't done the entirety of knowing him. you had always told everyone to have a nice night and to be safe before leaving, but not today.
finally, he looked at his phone for the first time all day, only to feel like the worst person in the world to realize what day it was. spencer felt absolutely horrible at this revelation and ran into hotch's office as quick as he could after packing his things.
"hotch!" he exclaimed upon opening his office door.
"go. she was practically in tears," hotch informed him. "and reid," spencer stopped in his tracks to turn and look at the stern man, "please make sure she's okay." spencer gave him a soft grin and a nod before turning around and bolting out of the office.
you had gotten home and immediately burst into tears. you shut the door with your back, and slid down it. you had never understood why people had done that in movies until now. you just couldn't wait to break any longer, so you settled for your front door.
you held back no wail, or scream as you cried in front of your door, your knees pulled up to your chest as you held them tightly.
you wondered why you had to go through that. you wanted to know what kind of karma there was for someone who had always tried to do the right thing to be hurt... and for nobody to even care. nobody wanted to console you, or to make sure you were alright.
you had checked up on everyone on every anniversary of their struggles. whether it be a death, abduction, anything, you had been there for every single anniversary or reminder. and nobody was there for you.
nobody was there for you to hug, or to lean on, or to cry to, or to scream at, or to rant to. nobody was there. nobody loved you enough to care about that.
but then you had to remind yourself that they all had lives.
but the person who is your life didn't even care.
spencer didn't care.
and that's why you truly lost it.
he acted like it was just another day. he acted like it wasn't the anniversary of the day you thought you were going to die. the day you wanted to die. the day you felt your most low, and humiliated. the day you lost all hope. and he didn't remember.
if the man with an eidetic memory didn't remember, it must be extremely insignificant. so therefore, you must be extremely insignificant.
spencer raced to your house. he wanted to be there for you today, and he failed. he felt like a failure as a friend. he hated himself for not being there for you when he knew you would need him. he knew how you clung to him in your time of need. you thought he was worthy enough to hold onto when you needed someone, and spencer felt elated at that.
but now he wasn't there for you. and you needed him.
he had quickly stopped by the store and your favorite takeout place to get the things you'd want. he got your wine, chocolate, food, flowers, and a teddy bear that had a sweater vest on him - you've always loved his sweater vests.
when he got to the steps of your house, he felt his heart drop. as he walked closer he heard the wails of your crying right by the door. he could sense the heartache from the edge of your porch, and felt himself feel even worse, which he didn't think was possible.
he instantly ran to the door and knocked profusely. you sniffled one last time, feeling embarrassed that someone had heard you crying your heart out. you had figured one of your neighbors heard you and wanted to tell you to keep it down, so you wiped your tears and the stray mascara from underneath your eyes and opened the door, keeping your eyes lowered in embarrassment.
"y/n," spencer announced sadly, a tear falling down his face. you looked up in confusion from hearing his voice. you noticed his tear and reached up to wipe it away on instinct.
"why're you crying? are you okay?" you asked, forgetting all of your own problems at the sight of spencer crying. spencer let out a small chuckle at your concern.
"i'm alright, aside from the fact that i'm a terrible friend," he admitted as his smile quickly faded upon seeing your stained cheeks. "i brought your favorites," he offered, holding the bag of goodies in one hand and the takeout in another.
"y-you... why?" you asked, wanting to make sure you weren't misreading the situation for him trying to comfort you.
"why?" he asked in disbelief. "because it's the anniversary. i can't tell you how sorry i am, y/n. i swear i marked it on my calendar and planned for us to take off so i could take care of you. i-i just woke up late and never bothered to even check my phone. i kn-know it's no excuse... but i am so, so, so sorry," he rambled out, already tearing up.
you grabbed his arm gently and pulled him inside before you started crying in front of your neighbors. you took the bags from his hands and placed them on your coffee table.
"i thought you just didn't care," you shrugged as you took a seat on the couch, prompting him to sit beside you.
"y/n..." he sighed as he realized how terrible he screwed up. "i will always care about this. i will always care about you. don't ever think differently. i'm just incredibly... dumb sometimes. i can't believe i made you think that," he trailed on. "i will never not care about you, y/n. i swear it. i will always, always care about you. i will always love you," he froze as he realized what he just revealed. your eyes widened, and squinted, and roamed his face, trying to figure out if he meant the words he had just sped out. "i truly do, y/n. i i’m in love with you and i'm so sorry i made it seem otherwise."
it took you a second to absorb everything that he had said.
"you too," you solemnly admitted. "i’m in love with you too. and i could forgive you... for almost forgetting," you gave him a small smile.
"i'm glad you could forgive me. i don't know what i'd do if you didn't," he relished. "you actually love me?" you nodded with a small smile.
"i have for a while," you turned your head to the bags on the table.
"oh! right!" he said, reaching for the gifts. "i got your favorite takeout, your favorite wine, your favorite chocolates, flowers, and..." he trailed on as he revealed each item. "i saw this teddy, and i couldn't resist," he smiled.
you took the bear, taking in its appearance. it had a light blue, navy, and white diamond pattern sweater vest and brown shoes on. it looked like spencer, just teddy bear form. you smiled widely at the sentiment.
"it's you," you grinned as you took it in your arms, hugging it tightly as you saw spencer nodded with a smile mirroring that of your own. "i love it," you chuckled.
"i would understand, the fur is really soft," he relished in the thought.
"i don't think he'd be as good of a cuddler as the real thing, though," you grimaced. "but he'll do for when i don't have you here i guess," you shrugged with a smile.
"i plan on being here as long as you'll let me," he said softly.
"always," you grinned, setting down the teddy bear and trading him for the real spencer reid.
"always," he repeated, taking you in his arms and squeezing you tightly as if you'd float away at any moment. "now let's dig into this food while you talk about your feelings, if you want that is," he said after releasing you from the hug.
"i think i want to," you nodded. "and spence?" he turned from getting the food out of the bag to look at you for a second. "thank you for being my rock through all of this."
"i'll always be your rock, y/n."

Closing Cases
Tumblr media
Written for my 2021 Halloween event
Pairing: EJ Caswell x Male!Detective!Reader
Prompt: EJ with a Nancy Drew/Scooby gang reader investigating something haunting the school and EJ steps up to help. With “I am running on two hours of sleep and fifty tiny candy bars” and “Can we go five minutes without talking about ghosts, ghouls, or goblins?”
A/N: This is prompt # 2 for my Halloween event! The next prompt will be posted Thursday, October 7th.
-------
East High was being faced by an unexplainable problem. Each night, lockers were being broken into and various class and club rooms had been found vandalized. The faculty had examined the footage from all of the security cameras near the areas that had been attacked, but weren’t able to see anyone in the videos; only that the halls looked normal in one frame, and had been trashed in the next.
As someone who had spent his entire childhood looking up to all of the great detectives, you took it upon yourself to get to the bottom of the situation. You had told Miss Jen, the theater teacher, that you’d be missing rehearsals one afternoon in order to conduct your investigation, but she had been the only person you told.
You supposed that was why it came as such a shock to find EJ Caswell, a popular senior and star of the water polo team and drama department, leaning against the locker beside yours after school.
You disregarded his presence, moving to open your locker and tuck away your textbooks.
“So I hear you’re not going to be at rehearsals today,” EJ said after a moment, turning to face you. “Care to share why?”
“I’ve got more important things to do,” you said easily. You knew it was kind of a weak response, but it was the first thing that’d come to mind.
He rolled his eyes, lips quirking up into a grin. “Yeah, we both do, I guess.”
That gave you pause. You turned to look at him incredulously, and you had to force yourself to ignore the way the amused glint in his pretty blue eyes threatened to make you smile. “Excuse me?”
“You’re investigating the break-ins, right?” EJ asked, crossing his arms over his chest as he watched you.
“I’m not convinced that they have been break-ins, but yes,” you said, grabbing a different backpack entirely out of your locker and leaving the one with your school supplies in it before shutting the door. “Is there a reason you’re talking to me?” You turned away at that, making your way down the quickly emptying halls.
EJ scrambled to keep pace with you, weaving around the remaining students and faculty to stay at your side. “I want to help! I’ll be the first to say I don’t really have experience with investigations, but I want to help stop what’s going on.”
You let out a sigh, turning abruptly to face EJ. “Fine. You can help,” you held up a hand to interrupt him when he made to let out a victorious whoop, “But if you get in the way of my investigation, I will tell you to leave and you will listen. Do we have a deal?”
The brunet nodded vigorously, falling back into step beside you as you resumed your previous path, “Deal. So,” he said, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. “Where do we start?”
“Here,” you said as you came to a stop outside of a janitor’s closet on the second floor.
EJ’s brows furrowed in obvious confusion. “Our investigation starts at the janitor’s closet?”
You nodded, twisting the door open and entering the small room. You sat down, nestling your way between a set of shelves and several empty garbage cans. “Well, this is where we’ll be waiting until the time is right.”
“And when is that?” he asked as he crept into the closet with you, wincing as the door slammed closed behind him.
You snickered, pulling out your phone to set an alarm. “Well, the thief only strikes at night, right? They’ll probably emerge at around nine o’clock, which means we have,” you glanced back at your phone, “About five hours to kill.”
“Five hours?” EJ asked incredulously, blue eyes wide as he looked at you. “What the hell are we going to do for five hours?!”
“Well, I was going to play games on my phone since I wasn’t planning on having company until a few minutes ago,” you said, glancing pointedly down at the device. “You’re still more than welcome to leave, if you don’t want to wait?”
EJ shook his head stubbornly, shifting to sit with his back against the opposite wall from you. “No, but my phone definitely isn’t going to hold up for that long.” He paused, thinking, “Maybe we could play twenty questions while we wait?”
You shrugged, figuring that humoring a cute boy wouldn’t kill you. “Alright, sure. But since it was your idea, you have to go first.”
He smiled widely, clearly delighted that you’d agreed. “Okay!” He hesitated for a moment while he thought, but a question seemed to strike him pretty quickly. “So, do you make it a point to hang out in sketchy janitor’s closets often?”
You barely managed to bite back a snicker, but the upward tilt of EJ’s lips made you suspect that he knew about your poorly concealed amusement. “I do when my cases require it,” you said by means of explanation, but you found yourself elaborating further at the confused-puppy expression on his face. “Today’s a Tuesday, which means that the cleaning staff isn’t in tonight, so no one will be checking this closet for stragglers like they would the library or a classroom. Waiting in here means that I’ll be able to remain in the building after the doors are locked, which means that I’ll be able to find out if anyone else comes into the building after it’s locked down for the night.”
“Wow,” EJ said, eyes wide as he processed everything you’d just said. “You put a lot more planning into this than I would’ve thought?”
“What, you thought I’d just wing it?” you teased. You had to admit, you were enjoying his company far more than you had anticipated. “I like to think that I take my job pretty seriously.”
He gestured wildly with his hands, like he was trying to wave away his previous words. “No, no, no; that’s not what I meant- I meant that-” He cut himself off as he noticed you beginning to laugh, “You’re messing with me, aren’t you?” He faked offense, but the appearance of his dimples gave away his amusement. “Fine, you got me.” His grin widened as he looked at you, “Alright, Mr. Holmes, what’s your leading theory?”
You let out a thoughtful hum, “Currently? Vengeful spirits.”
EJ let out a surprised laugh. It was deep, uncontrollable and infectious, and you were helpless to hide the grin it brought to your face, though it faded after a moment, “You’re serious?”
“Honestly, I’m not sure what else to think,” you started softly, fingers twisting nervously in your lap as you were forced to admit that, for once, you really weren’t sure about what the outcome of your case would be. “Any normal person would have been caught on camera, and the only people in this city that have the ability to manipulate the footage to make it look like no one was there either wouldn’t care enough to do it or they’ve got an alibi.”
EJ’s brows furrowed, “And none of them could have lied about the alibis?”
“Mr. Mazzara could’ve, I suppose,” you mused, “But I double-checked it with Miss Jenn and it sounds legit.”
“So ghosts then, huh?” he prompted, scooting a little closer to you until his knees brushed lightly against yours. “Seems like a little bit of a leap in logic.”
You shrugged helplessly, a tired grin forming on your lips, “I am running on two hours of sleep and fifty tiny candy bars. Ghosts weren’t the least probable option, if I’m being honest.”
“How would you even get rid of a ghost-” He stopped as the rest of your statement caught up to him, “Wait, you’ve had fifty candy bars?!”
“Just the little ones.” You said, waving off his concern and checking the time on your phone. “Depends on the type of spirit, but I’ve talked to some sophomores who practice witchcraft and they say that sage and pure intention to banish it should take care of whatever we’re seeing, as long as it’s a normal ghost or spirit. I just want to eliminate any other options before I take action.”
“Can we go five minutes without talking about ghosts, ghouls, or goblins?” EJ demanded, taking your phone from you and setting it aside so he could get you to focus on him, “You’ve gotta take better care of yourself,” he said quietly, normally bright eyes turned stormy with concern, “You’ve got a lot of people that care about you-”
You scoffed, rolling your eyes, “Like who?” At his stunned silence, you pressed on, “Everyone at this school thinks I’m a weirdo. You don’t think I’ve heard people call me Scooby-Doo or Nancy Drew or Sherlock?” You shook your head, pushing yourself to your feet as your frustration mounted, “This was a mistake. I’m leaving; I’ll solve this case on my own.”
“Wait,” EJ exclaimed, shooting up to his feet and grabbing your wrist to stop you from going. “You’re wrong.”
“I’m wrong?” you asked incredulously, raising an eyebrow as you looked up at EJ. “About what part?”
He nodded seriously, eyes locked with yours, “About no one caring about you and about everyone thinking you’re weird.” He took a deep breath, and, for the first time since he’d joined your investigation, you watched his confident facade falter. “I care about you,” he started softly, like he was afraid to finally say it. “And I really like that you’re so passionate about solving mysteries.”
Your brows furrowed as you turned to look back at him, “You… like that?”
“I like you,” he said, so quiet that he was barely audible, but when you didn’t pull away he continued, volume picking up as he did so, “I really like you and I can’t believe I get to help you do something I love, and that probably sounds pretty dumb since we don’t really know each other that well, but I would really like to get to know you better and maybe even take you out to dinner sometime if that’s okay with you?”
It took you a long moment to find your voice again. “Okay,” you found yourself saying as you tugged your wrist from his grip to link your fingers with his instead. “Okay,” A wide smile spread across EJ’s face and you could feel an answering one as it tugged at your lips, “When we close this case, I’ll let you take me on a date.”
“Really?” he asked, like he almost expected you to tell him it was some cruel joke. He let out a breathless laugh when you nodded, “Then what are we waiting for?” he asked joyfully, tugging you towards the door by your joined hands. “We’ve got a case to solve!”
You couldn’t help but laugh as you were led out into the long-abandoned halls of East High, glad to have finally found someone who matched you. After all, all the greats came in pairs; Daphne had Fred, Sherlock had Watson, and now you had EJ.

How would Mary goore react to hurting someone he genuinely cares about? I absolutely Love your writing!💕
Hello, nonny! Thank you, I love this ask!
This was going to be  alist, but it got away from me! 😅 
Enjoy 😘 
It wasn’t anything big.
Just a few of Mary’s favorite beers (the craft kind—not the shitty beer he drank on his shoestring budget), some of that chronic shit you’d scored and have been saving for a special occasion, and a VHS box set of horror movie classics.
***
Mary comes in and out of your life at will, and that was something you accepted—knowing he was As Is or not at all. And honestly—no, really—you liked that. You had your own shit going on, and being Mary’s expected caregiver was NOT something you wanted to add to that list.
(If someone else wanted to try to tame him and pick up after him, well…kudos to them. Less work for you.)
Mary showed up on your pivotal days and he rubbed your feet and always invited you out to trivia. You'd held him when he was coming down from a bad trip and listened to his grievances and gave him a place to stay when he was persona non grata at his own. And in a way, that made you always feel like #1 in Mary’s world…and that was good enough for you.
***
A few months ago, Mary had been lying on your couch, picking the label off his beer bottle.
“I’m gonna be away for a bit,” he’d said.
“Oh?” you’d responded as you’d mashed the controls on your gaming controller.
“Yeah. I mean, I’ll be around…but I got some shit going on.”
You’d paused your game.
“Bad shit?”
He’d waved you off.
“Neg. Just tryna get myself out there. Signed up for open mics and shit.”
He’d shifted, his long legs receding from around you and folding under him.
“So, like…I got my job at the bowling alley…but nights and weekends are kinda shot.”
You’d tried not to let the disappointment show on your face. You supported Mary’s dreams, and that meant not making an issue that he was finally trying to do something about them.
This wasn’t against you. It was for him.
When you’d taken too long to respond, his face had scrunched.
“But if you want—”
“It’s fine, Mare,” you’d said as you’d made yourself smile. “This is important to you, so it’s important to me.”
You’d unpaused your game.
“Just don’t expect me to not beat this game without you.”
He’d grabbed the controller out of your hands with a snarl, causing you to cry out when you died.
“Fuck the game.” His hand had fisted your shirt. “Give me a night to remember.”
You had. Twice.
***
Mary had texted you occasionally over the next few weeks—a few memes, a few drunken key-smashes, a dick pic, and 2 grainy videos of his performances for critique—but such contact was sporadic, and you’d never seen him in real-time. 
He’d blown in one night, five weeks in, with a box of pizza just as you'd been heading out to meet your crew. When you’d told him you’d made plans, he’d looked so crestfallen that you’d caved and canceled on them.
While he’d been there, he’d given you a date in 3 weeks.
“That Saturday I have nowhere to be,” he’d said as he’d chewed. “I can spend the whole day with you.”
You’d been careful not to seem too eager.
“Oh yeah? Should I plan shit?”
He’d crammed the whole crust into his mouth and had given you a doughy grin.
“Why ’’ya think I told you?”
You didn’t know what you’d expected, but when he’d had to bounce 90min later, you were still surprised. (That was hardly enough time to digest!)
“Sorry,” he’d winced. “I gotta be on a bus in 45min.”
He’d left, and you’d been too embarrassed to join your friends who were only just going to the second bar.
Having fun with your man ;) ? one of your friends had texted.
What do you think? You’d texted back before changing into your pjs and turning on Netflix.
***
So maybe you were low-key excited about your day with Mary.
Perhaps you’d spent those 3 weeks figuring out the perfect date—something that said, “I missed you,” without saying “But in a clingy way.”
Beer and horror were two things the both of you were totally into, and you knew he’d be exhausted, so it seemed perfect. You’d bought the boxed set off of eBay and splurged for expedited shipping; you’d borrowed your brother’s old dual TV/VCR from his college days; and you’d forgone your weekly Chinese takeout for the craft beer funds. (And if things got steamy, well…even better.) 
***
A few days before The Date, you’d run into Mary on the bus. You were coming home from a shift, and he was going to his.
He’d brightened and waved you over—as if you weren’t already on your way—and you’d plopped down beside him with a tired grin. You’d told him of the latest entitled asshole, and he’d showed you another clip of him on guitar.
Before your stop had come up, you’d tentatively placed your hand over his.
“We still on for Saturday?”
He’d blinked at you a few moments before grinning.
“Yeah.”
“Should I plan a whole day for us, then?”
His arm had crept around your shoulders before pulling you into him to kiss your temple.
“Yeah, why not.”
***
That morning, you wake up happy. 
Mary will be over soon.
You roll over and grab your phone.
When should I expect you? :-* 
It takes him an hour to respond. You aren’t surprised—Mary isn’t known for being a morning person—so when your phone dings, you grab it up excitedly.
An excitement that dies when you read his text. And reread. And re-reread.
not 2day 
goin upste 2 show 
You blink.
What show? Didn’t we confirm? 
yeah. got me thinkin 
why no show? 
so i chked 
i missed one 
gotta do it 
Rage blooms hot, then cold behind your eyes and down your cheeks.
But you said we had the whole day. I made plans. 
save em 
ths is impt 2 me 
We’ve had this planned for weeks. 
i thot u suprted me 
on a bus cnt tlk 
You send a few more irate texts, but he doesn’t respond, and you toss your phone across the room with a shout of frustration. You scrub the hot tears from your eyes before they can fall.
And…on paper, Mary isn’t wrong. Nothing you had planned won’t keep: movies, beer, takeout.
But…
It gives you a stark look at what you mean to Mary. He gave you this date and confirmed it. He knew you were making plans.
How long was he going to wait to tell you he wasn’t even in the city anymore?
You fight the urge to kick the VHS tapes across the floor, but you open the fridge and grab a beer. If Queen Elizabeth could have beer for breakfast, then it was good enough for you.
Once you’ve downed all eight, you move on to the jug of vodka you keep for cleaning.
When you empty only liquid from your stomach into the toilet, you grab your frozen fries out of the freezer. You roll a handful of the cold ones in your mouth as you wait for the others to crisp in the oven, and once you’ve consumed the cooked ones, you go right back to the vodka.
***
Opening your eyes the next morning is a mistake, so you take a few deep breaths and go back to sleep.
When you wake again, your heart is fluttering, your stomach turns, and it feels like there’s an ice pick behind one eye. Shuffling slowly, you make your way out to your kitchen where you take some painkillers, drink some pickle juice, and eat two slices of plain bread.
The sense that you did something awful stays with you, but you’re in no condition to find your phone and see what you’ve done. Instead, you go back to bed. It takes more deep breathing to settle yourself, but once you do fall asleep, you’re out for hours.
You don’t feel amazing when you swim to consciousness again, but you feel at least like a human being. 
Your phone is dead when you find it under the sink, and waiting the 5 or so minutes for it to charge feels like waiting to face the executioner.
It’s both better and worse than you expected.
You breathe a sigh of relief to see that there are no vague social media posts, and you didn’t drunk dial any of your friends, but…
The texts to and from Mary are ugly.
Apparently, you’d managed not to send him angry texts until he’d sent you another clip of his performing. But then the floodgates had opened.
You’d started with telling him you didn’t give a shit about the show, how he was an inconsiderate ass, and then you'd devolved into incomprehensible, typo-ridden texts that accused him of using you, that you were only something to do when he didn’t have anything better to do, that he was an entitled man-child and if he didn’t apologize, you were done.
Mary’s texts in response range from him being angry at your disregard, to heated retorts you were blowing this out of proportion (and he didn’t appreciate your “ad hominem” attacks), to a cool detachment that this wasn’t working over text and he’d finish this in person.
You put your head in your hands but are too dehydrated to cry.
***
Mary doesn’t text you again during his self-imposed time frame.
You don’t text him either, but that’s more out of self-preservation than pride. There’s no point exacerbating the situation…and you’re pretty sure there’s no coming back from this, so why speed up the inevitable?
The horror tapes taunt you every time you walk by them, and you wonder if you can return them (you can’t). You give the TV back to your brother, and when he asks you how it went, you plaster a smile on your face and say, “Great!” with forced enthusiasm you hope comes across as genuine.
The primo weed goes over to your friend’s house, and the two of you wax poetic all night about existential claptrap as you devour two cheese pizzas and a bag of bbq chips. You talk about Mary without talking about Mary, and you get a heartfelt, “Sorry, dude.”
You beat the video game anyway, but it’s mostly because you needed something to occupy your mind and less out of spite (though that’s there as well).
***
Despite waiting on tenterhooks to hear anything from Mary, you truly don’t really expect to. You know you’d been atrocious, even if it had been prompted by his careless disregard, and you know Mary isn’t really the kind of guy that troubles himself with relationships that are hard.
Not that you’re in a relationship.
So when there’s a knock on your door a week later and Mary’s behind it, you’re genuinely surprised.
You gape through the peephole in shock.
“Fuck. If you’re there, just let me in, ok?”
Fumbling with the chain, you unlock the door and crack it open.
“Mary?”
“You gonna let me in?” he rasps.
You shrug and step away from the door, and he shuffles inside. He looks around like you’ve changed anything (you haven’t), before turning around to face you.
You close the door and stare back.
He folds his arms. “Breaking up with someone over text is tacky.”
What you think is, So you’ve come to do it in person, but what you say is, “Can’t break up if you’re not together.”
He winces and runs his fingers through his hair. 
“Yeah…apparently I’ve ‘taken advantage' of you.”
This…isn’t what you’re expecting.
“I…what?”
“Can we sit down?”
You nod, and Mary sits rigidly on the edge of your couch. You curl up in the chair on the opposite side.
He rubs his palms down his greasy jeans before he speaks.
“I mean…you pissed me off, ok?”
You nod.
“But, like—you weren’t wrong, ok? I kinda knew that deep down, but I’m a dumbass, you know?”
You don’t nod.
“And I kinda bitched about the whole thing…but the resounding response was that I was the asshole.”
He angles his body toward you.
“I guess I’ve kinda been treating you like my best friend that I fuck sometimes.”
Your entire face flushes—you’d always thought you’d maybe ranked a little higher than that—and you duck your head so he can’t see the tears that you blink back.
There’s a swish of fabric, and you startle hard when Mary’s hand is at your chin. He jerks back with a Sorry.
“Shit—that’s not what I…” he blows out a breath and puts his hands behind his head before looking back up at you.
“But you aren’t, and…fuck this is harder than I thought.”
So this is it.
Waiting for him to do the deed is clearly going to be excruciating, so you take charge of this whole shit-show.
“I understand,” you say flatly.
“You do?”
“It’s ok, Mare-Mary. It’s my own fault for reading too much into it. I just…I saw what I wanted to see, I guess. I know you don’t need…” you look down into your lap, “…my shit in your life.
He makes a noise low in his throat, and then he’s squatting in front of you, his hot hands planting on your knees.
“But I want your shit in my life.”
You squint your eyes at him.
“But what I said…”
He grasps your hands in his.
“Pissed me off, yeah…cuz I wasn’t fucking thinking, ok? You’re like one of the only people who gives a crap about what’s important to me. And all I could see was you suddenly…not.”
Anger wells up in you again, and you yank away your hands.
“Weeks, Mary…weeks of you all over the tri-state area, and you thought I didn’t care because of one night?! A night you promised to me?”
He sits back on his heels. “I know…fuck. Ok? At the time, it just felt…like the show couldn’t be rescheduled. Our night could.”
Because you’re what he does when he’s bored.
You curl in on yourself.
“Shit.” He leans forward again. “Fuck, I’m sorry, ok? I’m fucking on my knees here.”
You blink at him. 
What? 
“Please, please don’t break—say we’re done.”
“What?”
“Look, we can go into my shitty fucking psychological profile on why I fuck around later…but right now I need you to know that I knew it was you before I fucking knew it was you.”
You uncurl.
“That…’what’ was me?”
He knees forward and presses your hands to his face.
“The one I wanna spend my free time with. The one whose opinion means the most. The one who was the first person I wanted to share all my good shit with. You’re the one I missed, and—after that awful fucking night—everything felt pointless because I knew I couldn’t come over and jam about it.”
“Mare—what are you saying?”
“I’m saying I’m a fucking dumbass. I’m saying I thought I was pissed at you, but I was pissed at myself for fucking it up.” He sighs. “I’m saying no fucking one was on my side and they all told me to get my shit together.”
He looks up at you with wide eyes, and for the first time, you can see how they’re outlined in red, his subtle crow’s feet more pronounced.
“So, you’re not done with me? I’m not…too much trouble?”
He shakes his head in disbelief. “What? Shit, no. I’m asking you to not be done with me. I’ll give you all the nights you want. Fucking text me, and my ass’ll be here posthaste.” He shifts up, and his thumb ghosts over your lips. “Anything to get you to give me that secret smile again.”
“Secret smile?” you ask while trying to perform the action.
Mary actually blushes.
“Uh…yeah. You get this…” he makes a motion across his face, “…when you’re giving it back to me.” His fingers shove back through his hair as he casts his eyes down. “You don’t give it to anyone else.” He rubs the back of his neck. “I’ve made a study of it.”
You’re a swirl of emotions. Mary’s apologized—has admitted he was wrong and has asked for…more—but you’re still hurt. And embarrassed.
But he’s looking up at you with wet, hopeful eyes.
“Do you…” you start carefully, “…do you know why I got so mad?”
That statement was clearly not what he was expecting, and he blinks at you a few times before nodding and looking down at the floor.
“I made a…uh, commitment…to you. And I treated it like it didn’t mean anything.”
He gives you a look like, Did I get it right? and that’s close enough—even if he’s missing some of the nuance.
You nod. “And I know I…wasn’t…the best.”
His face contorts, and your heart sinks.
“You…” he shakes his head. “You said some awful things…some hurtful shit—and it really got in my head.”
Mary gives you a complicated look.
“Shit that you’d been pissed about for a while.” He traces your knee. “Shit you could’ve said to me…but shit I should have noticed. Fuck.” He presses his forehead into your knees, and you can’t stop yourself from sinking your fingers into his hair.
He takes it as encouragement and presses into you before looking up again.
“I just kinda wanna put that whole night behind us. It feels like a fucking ouroboros of fault. And like maybe I created it. But let’s agree to like…not do that again.”
You look down at him, and his eyes search your face.
“Ok…but what does all this mean, Mare? I can’t…I need to be something to you, ok? More than just your friend.”
Mary nods emphatically, and he takes your hand and curls his into it.
“No more fuck-ups, and no one else…can we start there?”
He’s saying all the right words, but you’re still trepidatious—you know Mary, and he doesn’t like constraints.
“I…just…how can I believe you?”
He shakes his head like he can’t believe you even have to ask. He rises and awkwardly reaches out to touch your face before drawing his hand back.
“Cuz you’re important to me. I care about you, and I don’t want to lose you. Ever.”
And yeah. Ok.

Safe - 8x14 Speculation Fic
Writer’s Note: The idea for this came from the 8x14 synopsis, and while it technically still is a speculation fic, I don’t imagine the episode happening exactly like this. However, I did use what I’ve seen from bts photos and videos, as well as things Tracy has said in interviews to develop some of the scenes/details. This is probably my favorite piece that I’ve written in a while, so I hope you enjoy & thank you for reading!
Hailey rustled through her closet looking for her black wedged boots, trying her best to hurry as she knew Jay was waiting for her in the kitchen. She wasn’t much of a boot with a heel kind of girl, but she and Jay had special plans and she wanted to look nicer than usual. While they had been together for months, that night was the first time they were going on a proper date. They each decided at the beginning of their relationship that with both of their histories, they wanted to keep things simple and to themselves, which meant a lot of take-out and a lot of nights alone in their apartments. However, after Hailey mentioned something in passing about their clandestine time together starting to feel restrictive, Jay made plans at a fancy restaurant where he knew they wouldn’t run into any of their fellow team members.
“I don’t mean to rush you, but our reservation is in 45 minutes and it will take us about 30 to get there,” Jay said softly, peeking his head around the door frame.
“I know, I know. I’m trying to- finally!” she shouted upon finding the boots in the corner of her closet. She brought a knee into her chest as she pulled a boot onto her foot before switching to the other leg and doing the same.
“Okay, I just need to get my phone and wallet and then I’ll be-“ her words were cut short as she caught sight of him for the first time that evening. He was wearing a dress shirt with a light jacket, and his dark jeans curled over the top of a pair of black dress boots. It was much different from his typical, rugged workwear, but she took note of how well the look suited him.
“Wow you clean up nice, Halstead,” she told him with a dimpled smile as he blushed, extending a hand down to help her rise from the floor. Once she was standing, the small space between them closed quickly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing her lips to his briefly. While the heels added extra height, she still needed to raise on her tiptoes to meet his mouth.
“Not too bad yourself, Detective,” he uttered as her lips pulled away. His hands grasped her waist, holding her steady as she remained on her toes. They stayed pressed against one another for a moment looking into each other’s eyes, and just when he was about to go in for another kiss, she fell on her heels and pressed the tips of her fingers against his chest.
“Normally, I would indulge in this further, but we’re going to miss our reservation and I’m starving,” she teased, moving past him to retrieve her phone, keys, and wallet, along with her jacket slung over the back of the couch.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Hailey was charmed by how nice it was. It was far different from the usual dive bars and pubs they went to after work, and part of her even felt like it was too nice for them to be at.
“Halstead, party of 2,” he told the hostess, holding up 2 fingers with the hand that wasn’t intertwined with Hailey’s.
A stifled smile came across her face and she nodded her head towards the floor as they waited for someone to guide them to their table. It seemed surreal to be standing in the middle of a fancy restaurant with him, holding his hand and waiting to be seated for a romantic dinner. She couldn’t tell if it was because of how long she secretly pined over him or if it was because being with Jay felt like her first real love story, but there were many moments when being with him felt like some fantasy, and that moment was one of them. At one point in time, being with him was something she only dreamt about. It was a thought that crossed her mind when his gaze lingered a little longer than it should or when an accidental touch sent her heart racing. Before they took that leap, she worried being with him would mean giving up being his partner. It was that fear that made her keep her feelings bottled up for so long, but as they proved time and time again, as partners, as lovers, and as both - they were good together. She turned her head and placed a light kiss on his shoulder. It was a tangible reminder that he was hers to kiss, but it also grounded her in that moment that felt like just another dream.
The dinner itself was incredible. Hailey officially added the restaurant to her list of favorite food spots in Chicago, and they spent the entire meal giggling and sharing stories they had never shared before. By the end of it, Jay was stuffed, but Hailey insisted they order a dessert, her sweet tooth getting the best of her. Jay teased her for ordering the lava cake, the most indulgent option on the menu, but she was able to tease him right back when he asked the waiter for a second spoon when it was brought to the table.
Just as Jay was about to pay the check, his phone began to ring, Voight’s name popping up across the screen as he pulled out his wallet.
“Uh oh,” Hailey said as he picked it up to answer. Jay spoke with their boss briefly, mainly nodding his head and muttering brief affirmations every few seconds.
“I think she’s out tonight, but I can call her and swing by to pick her up wherever she is,” Jay said, shooting Hailey a wide-eyed look as he quickly came up with an excuse as to why they’d be riding in together all dressed up.
“Alright hot stuff, as much as I’d like to keep this night going, it seems we caught a case,” he told her, as he stood from his chair. He took out his wallet, counting out enough money to cover the check and tip before resting the bills under his glass on the table.
“At least we made it through dessert,” she said, sending him a childlike smile.
“Oh, that was dessert? I had something else in mind for that,” he replied smugly, Hailey’s face turning bright red at his suggestive words.
“Oh really?” She questioned, taking a step towards him to close the gap between them. “You’d better clean up that mind before we get to the scene,” she whispered with a chuckle, twirling around swiftly and making her way towards the door as he shook his head at her tease. His hand found the small of her back as they made their way out the door, and he placed a kiss against her temple, knowing it would probably be the last display of affection he could show before they had to enter partner mode.
When they arrived at the house, Kevin and Voight were outside talking to a few patrol officers. Hailey’s mood had changed drastically upon arriving at the scene. She couldn’t explain why, but she felt uneasy as she jumped out of the truck and secured her badge and gun to her hip.
As they approached, Kevin pursed his lips together and let out a two-tone whistle as he caught sight of Hailey.
“Damn girl, sorry to pull you away from whatever had you all cleaned up,” he told her, cocking his head to the side as she shook her head at him with a smirk. Her eyes caught sight of Voight’s as they darted between her and Jay and she became nervous, imagining that he was putting two and two together. She decided to change the subject quickly before any further comments could ensue.
“Oh, shut up,” she told him. “What do we got?” She asked, spinning her head around the scene and taking in the myriad of patrol cars.
“I think it’s something you have to unfortunately see for yourself. I do have to say, you might want to brace yourself for this one,” he said, turning to lead them inside. Jay and Hailey met eyes, sharing a look of concern before turning and following Kevin and Voight inside.
Walking through the front door, they collectively grimaced at the overwhelming smell of blood that tinged their noses. They hesitantly made their way deeper into the house and Hailey’s heart dropped when she caught sight of a family of four, a couple and their two kids, all tied up and shot dead on the living room floor. That uneasy feeling from before suddenly made sense. She clenched her jaw, groaning at the sight as she looked away, recognizing the same unsettled look in the face of each of her fellow officers.
“What the hell happened here?” Jay asked, looking over at Kevin for the answer.
“This is the second home invasion robbery in this neighborhood this week. Robbery-homicide has been working these guys since the first one, but so far they’ve come up with no leads. Whoever these guys are, they’re professionals. It’s a two-man crew, they come in through the back, dressed head to toe in dark attire, get what they need, kill the family, and get out. They’re in and out in less than 10 minutes and they’ve got a getaway driver who knows how to avoid traffic cameras. Robbery-homicide tells me these guys killed a family of three earlier this week, and that the dad had bruises on his body in addition to the gunshot wound that killed him. Now, what’s interesting is in this case, the mom is the one with these bruises. These families were definitely targeted, we’re just not sure how or why,” he explained causing them each to frown.
While Kevin explained the case, Hailey fell silent as the details brought her back to a string of cases she had worked during her time in robbery-homicide. She spent weeks chasing after a crew targeting families who had shopped at a high-end jewelry store, only that connection was missed for the first half of the investigation. By the time she and her team had finally caught on to why the families were being targeted, four families had already been killed, five kids below the age of ten among the victims. Hailey beat herself up for months knowing if they had caught onto the pattern sooner, they could have saved more of the families - more of the kids. This case sounded eerily similar, and she was bound to not let history repeat itself.  
“How’d we catch this if robbery-homicide was on it?” Jay asked, shoving his hands in his pockets as his gaze intentionally avoided the gruesome scene before them.
“Miller assigned it to us. She wanted a fresh pair of eyes. She’s getting a lot of heat from the press about there being no leads, especially since this is a high-end neighborhood. Plus, these guys have already killed three tender-aged kids. I want the animals on a stick,” Voight replied straightly.
“Do we know what they’re after?” Hailey asked, her brain already working to establish a connection.  
“No, and that’s what’s given our robbery-homicide guys so much trouble. The only connection is that both families have had pretty high-tech safes somewhere in the house. Last house it was in a bedroom closet, but this one was in the basement. It seems like these guys make their way in, beat the location and combo of the safe out of one of the parents, get what they need, and off the entire family before hauling ass out,” Kevin told them.
“Well, I’ve worked cases like this one before. If we’re going to get anywhere, we need to figure out what it was they wanted and how they knew about it. We’re on a time crunch now, because it’s only a matter of time before these guys strike again,” she said, turning and leaving the house without waiting for any of their responses.
After leaving the scene, they all made their way back to the district to go over the files robbery-homicide had sent over. They browsed over the files for a couple of hours before Voight sent them home, needing them to rest up and refresh before they dove completely into the case the next day. The familiarity of the case was itching at Hailey, but as much as she wanted to see something that everyone else was missing, she came up short in every place she looked.
The next morning, she and Jay got coffee together. She had been quiet since they caught the case. Jay picked up on her shift in mood that occurred from the restaurant to the scene, but he left it alone to give her the space she seemed to need. He eventually built up the nerve to ask what was wrong. She told him about her old case and how much it meant to catch the guys and quickly. He agreed, admitting to her how much seeing those dead kids struck a nerve. He reassured her they would catch them one way or another. As they walked out of the coffee shop, a call came over the radio:
Units over the city-wide, we got calls of a home invasion. 1433 N State Street
“Gold Coast, that’s the same neighborhood as the other home invasions, you think that’s our guys?” Jay asked looking over at Hailey as he held the radio up.
“Could be, let’s roll on it,” she told him, rushing towards his truck as he followed, telling dispatch they were taking the call.
They rolled up to the scene, carefully clearing the house together, but they arrived too late, and the offenders were gone. They found the couple who lived there in the same position as the last two families, only they still had a pulse. Hailey tried asking them what the offenders were after, but all she got were incoherent mutterings from each victim. They both died before ambulances could arrive, but just the same as the other cases, only the husband had signs of bruising in addition to the gunshot wound, and a safe was found in the back of a linen closet. While crime techs combed the house, Hailey made her way out to the back garden, finding a hose to rinse the victim’s blood from her hands. Her hands were shaking so much, she couldn’t quite scrub enough to get them clean. Jay caught sight of her through the window and wade his way out to her, grabbing her hands in his to steady them. She looked up at him as he nodded his head, taking the hose and helping her scrub her hands clean. Once they were clear, he held her hands in his for a minute longer, quickly releasing them when someone cleared their throat behind them. When they turned around Voight was standing there, his hands deep in his pockets, eyeing the two of them as they took a step back from one another. If he didn’t know about them before, he definitely did then.
“You get anything new on these guys?” He asked, a knowing look plastered across his face.
“No, Sarge. They were gone by the time we pulled up,” Jay told him, dropping the hose to the ground.
“Well, get back to it. We’ve wasted enough time as it is, we’ve got to catch these guys,” he said bluntly, turning and making his way back into the house. The two of them stayed there frozen, shaking their heads at how careless they had been to let him walk up on them like that.
Back at the district, they scrubbed the lives of all of the victims, still coming up with no connection between any of them. Nighttime arrived once again with no leads and no suspects, so they decided to call it and head home. That night, Hailey laid awake, tossing and turning for hours. She tried every method she knew to fight off the insomnia that had kept her restless, but nothing was able to lull her into a slumber. It was the case that was keeping her up, and her eyes stared blankly at the ceiling while a million theories circulated through her mind. Something about it just didn’t make sense, and she couldn’t shake the idea that they had been missing an obvious connection. The faces of the couple she tried to save earlier that day remained at the forefront of her mind, and after a while of fighting off the urge to get out of bed and chase that gut feeling, she finally slipped out from the grasp of Jay’s limp arm, carefully retreating from the bed as to not wake him. She made her way over to her closet, pulling on a pair of jeans and slipping a sweatshirt over her head before grabbing her badge and gun from the nightstand and sliding her phone into her back pocket. She made her way to her office, retrieving a sticky note and pen to write Jay a message letting him know where she was going.
Couldn’t sleep. Gone back to the district, needed to go over the case again. ♡
She tiptoed back into the bedroom and placed the note on her pillow where she knew he’d see if he happened to wake up. She grabbed her coat and opened the front door, slowly guiding it closed on her way out, still trying her best to be as quiet as possible. She wasn’t sure what she would be looking for when she arrived at the district, but she had hoped that studying it alone and in the quietness of the empty bullpen would provide her with a new perspective. She made herself a cup of coffee before walking over to her desk and opening up every file they had on the case. She paced the floor of the empty space, flipping through files and studying photos until she was sure there was nothing to see. Finally, she hoisted herself onto the top of her desk, pulling her knees into her chest and eyeing the board for something they may have been missing. Suddenly, she heard the beeping of the keypad and the clanging of the door opening and closing downstairs. She checked her phone to see the time. It was 4 am, and she couldn’t imagine who else would be up that early. She did a double-take as Jay made his way around the corner, a look of exhaustion on his face as he sent her a lazy smile.
“What are you doing here?” She asked him, unclasping her hands from around her knees and pulling herself to the edge of the desk.
“Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing,” he said with a smirk, pulling his jacket from his shoulders and resting it on the back of her desk chair.
“I couldn’t sleep. Something about this case was keeping me up, so I figured instead of lying in bed and staring at the ceiling for hours I would try and make myself useful. You didn’t have to come check on me. I’m fine,” she told him, the corners of her lips curling up into a reassuring smile as he came to stand over her.
“I couldn’t go back to sleep once I realized you were gone,” he told her softly with a slight pout before turning to lean on the desk beside her. “So, what have you figured out?” He asked, his attention turning to the board before them. She sighed, crossing her arms and staring at the crime scene photos as he waited for her response.
“I don’t know. I mean these families have no connections. The kids all go to different schools, they all work at completely different places, they don’t even shop at the same stores, I can’t seem to figure out where their lives intersect, so I just don’t understand why they’re being targeted,” she ran down, looking over at Jay whose eyes surveyed the information on the board.
“Maybe it’s about more than just the robbery. I mean they’re taking time to kill every member of the family, including the kids. Unless these guys are just straight-up psychopaths, it sounds like whatever is going on could be personal,” Jay suggested, looking over at his partner whose eyes were transfixed on one particular photo on the case board. His words sparked something in her, and she caught sight of the words Resurgence Tech written in bold font on a magnet on the refrigerator from the second crime scene. She knew the name was familiar, but she couldn’t remember how.
She pulled out the files from each of the cases and found what she was looking for. An email address registered in the husband’s name from the first robbery ending in resurgencetech.co. Looking at the other files, she was able to establish a connection between all of them leading back to a company previously known as Resurgence Tech. As she and Jay investigated through the night, they were able to figure out what was being stolen and why it was worth killing over. Resurgence Tech was a company co-founded by four individuals, Ryan Ethers, victim of the first robbery, Scarlett Jameson, victim of the second, Max Lin, victim from the third, and Lianne Meadows, who lived in a house in the Gold Coast District close to the previous victims. Five years prior, Resurgence Tech created a breakthrough idea for a high-tech medical device that had the potential to significantly change the practice of medicine. However, after hours of gathering information and records, the two detectives found out that the design was actually stolen from two brothers who had developed the original idea for a project they were working on in college. Resurgence used their power and influence to discredit the claims of the brothers, blacklisting them from the entire industry, and eventually pulling the design before it could ever meet the market. Not long after, Resurgence shut down for good, liquidating its assets and washing its hands of its shady actions for good. Digging deeper into the four co-founders of Resurgence and knowing more about where to look, Hailey and Jay were able to find email exchanges between them all discussing what to do with the patent plans for the stolen design in case there ever came a time to reintroduce the tech to the market. The strategy was to split the plans between the four of them, each keeping a piece locked up on a thumb drive hidden in a safe.
As soon as the sun rose that morning, Hailey called Voight and the rest of the team to come in. She explained the connection and identified the brothers as suspects, describing how the robberies must have been to obtain the thumb drives and get vengeance for the way Resurgence screwed them over. The situation had a significant impact on the brothers’ lives, leading them to turn to a life of crime, describing how they got connected with an armed robbery crew, and began pulling jobs across the city before getting caught only a year after Resurgence blacklisted them from the tech industry. They were released early due to overcrowding and good behavior, so they got out, hacked into the emails of the individuals that ruined their lives, and found out the design was out there, still viable to be profited from. Running on anger and revenge and using the skills they developed in their time with the robbery crew, they sought to take back what was theirs. They were operating under the theory that the two brothers were committing the crimes, and a guy that used to run with them in their old robbery crew was taking on the role as the getaway driver.
“Well, let’s go scoop ‘em up,” Voight said upon hearing the rundown of the case.
“Sarge, as much as I want to bring these guys in, we don’t have any evidence on them. There’s been no DNA, no prints, no witnesses tying these guys to these cases. There’s no way they’re going to talk, and if we bring them in, they’re just going to get released even if we keep them for the full 48 hours. By then they’ll have already made plans to run,” Jay said.
“These guys have killed nine people, three of those people being little kids. If we don’t act now, they’re going to strike again and that’s going to be blood on our hands. We bring them in, and we make them talk. I don’t care if we have to threaten them, or if we get ‘em to flip on each other. Either way, we’re not just going to sit around and wait for something to happen on this one. Not when we’ve got a pile of bodies growing the longer we sit here with our thumbs up our asses. So, Hailey, Jay, I want you two going to pick these guys up,” Voight bit back, a distinct annoyance in his voice. He had been on edge throughout the entirety of the case, but his temper seemed to have only increased after walking up on Jay and Hailey at the scene a day prior.
As much as Hailey wanted to side with Voight, she knew Jay was right. Bringing them in with no evidence and no witnesses placing them at any of the scenes would only guarantee them getting to walk, something she was determined to not let happen.
“Sarge, we can’t,” she muttered, swallowing what felt like a rock in her throat as his face fell with bitter surprise.
“What?” He challenged, his head dropping down as he cut his eyes at her.
“Jay is right. We can’t just jump on these guys with no evidence or else we risk losing them for good. I know you want to get these guys quick, but there’s got to be a better play,” she replied, taking note of the uncomfortable looks expressed by the other Intelligence members who quietly observed the interaction from the other side of the room. She watched as he pulled the inside of his cheek between his teeth.
“Remind me, who’s the sergeant of this unit?” The question carried a great deal of weight, and everyone in the room fell silent as his eyes travelled between each of the five intelligence members. “You don’t have to agree with what I say, but there’s a chain of command here and I expect you to listen to me. Now, unless there’s another sergeant in this unit I’m unaware of, I’m in charge. So, I’m only going to say this one last time. Jay, Hailey, go pick these guys up. I have to go update Miller on what’s going on. Those guys better be sitting in interrogation when I get back. End of,” he roared, making his way past the officers who remained frozen in place.
While Adam, Kevin, and Kim went back to work, Hailey grabbed her jacket, heading down the hallway out to the parking lot to follow the sergeant’s orders.
“Hailey, wait,” Jay called after her, grabbing her arm and pulling her into the observation room where he knew the others wouldn’t be able to hear them.
“What?” She questioned, a look of concern on her face as he silently thought through his words.
“I think I have another play,” he told her.
“Jay, he seemed- “she began before he cut her off.
“No, I know, but you know I’m right. We bring these guys in now and these families will never get the justice they deserve. We know there’s only one family left on their list, Lianne Meadows. The only move we have left is to catch these guys in the act. I say we sit on her house and wait for the robbery to go down, snatch them up, and then we have the guns tying them to the other cases and we have leverage to get them to flip if we need to,” Jay told her, the look in his eyes pleading with her to agree.
She knew Jay was right, but she also knew what going against Voight’s orders would mean. By that point, it was safe to assume he knew about their relationship. She knew that alone would be cause for him to assign them to different partners or even to different units. Teaming up and going against him would only increase the chances of him pulling the trigger on that. From the start of the case, she knew she wanted to catch the guys no matter what, but she never imagined it would involve making a decision that could possibly jeopardize her partnership with Jay. Every part of her knew his way was the only option that gave them a chance of making things right, yet she knew there would be a cost to them both going against Voight’s orders.
“You’re right… but let me do it alone,” she told him, causing him to frown at her words.
“What? No, I can’t let you go after these guys by yourself,” he argued, a combination of concern and annoyance in his voice.
“Jay, if we do this together it’s only going to give him reason to split us up. I have a feeling we’re already on his hit list after everything that has happened these past few days, and if he sees that we’re siding with each other… going rogue against his orders? He could reassign us partners, or worse, ship one of us off again. You, this partnership, our relationship, it all means too much to me to risk. If I go alone, only I take the fall, and he doesn’t have reason to use our relationship against us,” Hailey told him, moving a hand to his chest as she spoke.
Pushing him away and crossing that line by herself was the only way she knew how to protect both their relationship and their partnership. With her history of crossing lines, she had hoped it would just seem like another questionable decision she made all on her own, and he wouldn’t have reason to punish both of them by splitting them up.
“Hailey, I’m not just letting you go there without backup,” he finally said, his jaw set tightly as he peered into her eyes.
“I’ll have Trudy assign some patrol guys for backup. That way you and the others don’t take fall back from Voight, but I won’t be going in alone,” she replied, moving the hand from his chest to cup his face. “I’ll be fine,” she told him.
He nodded hesitantly before sliding his fingers down her arm and wrapping his hand around hers.
“Be careful,” he insisted, squeezing her hand lightly.
“Of course,” she nodded back before opening the door and disappearing down the hall.
She sat out front of the house, the patrol officers waiting a street over for her signal. It had been about an hour and she had already dodged two calls from Voight. Her patience was running thin with every minute that passed without a sign of the crew. Then, she spotted a dark van creeping down the street and she slumped down in her seat, trying to avoid being seen. As the van approached the house, two men rolled out of the back door as the van maintained a low speed before stopping down at the end of the street. The second the men made it around the back of the house, Hailey radioed the patrol guys, climbing out of her car and drawing her weapon as she followed the offenders around the back. When the patrol guys caught up, she nodded to one of them, signaling them to open the back door and enter the home. The second they made it through the doorway, they were catching fire. Hailey took cover behind a door frame, keying her radio attached to her vest.
“10-1, 10-1, shots fired at the police, 1327 N Dearborn Street. Be advised patrol and plainclothes officers on scene,” she yelled into the radio, securing her free hand back on her gun before motioning the officers to press forward. They made their way into the house, carefully clearing each room as they passed through. When they made it to the front of the house, she caught sight of one of the guys escaping out the front door.
“5021 Henry I’m in foot pursuit of a suspect in an alleyway going west across the street from the original location,” she called out into the radio as she pumped her legs with each step, trying to control her breath as she chased after the suspect. He rounded a corner and she slowed down, holding her gun out to peer around the corner before continuing the pursuit. The next thing she knew, her gun was being kicked out of her hands and she was being thrown against the wall, hitting the side of her head against brick and feeling blood trickle down her face. She brought a knee up into her attacker’s groin, giving her a brief opening to connect an elbow with the side of his head. Falling to the ground, the man grabbed at her ankle, bringing her down with him before grabbing hold of her vest and laying a fist into her jaw. The blow sent her backward, shooting pain into the side of her face. She caught sight of her gun on the ground a few feet away and went to crawl for it, but he grabbed at her leg, drawing her backward toward him as she stretched her fingertips towards the handle. He was stronger than her, and he managed to pull her back enough to regain hold of her vest, winding up to lay another fist into her face. Before he could, she wrapped a leg around his, twirling him over so she was hovering over him. She began laying fist after fist into his masked face until she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She flinched, sending her elbow backwards towards the person. It was grabbed instantly, and she wiggled in the grasp before turning around and taking in the familiar green eyes of her partner.
“Hailey, we got him,” he said, holstering his gun and grabbing her by each arm to pull her up from the ground. Kim came from behind him, removing the mask from the offender and rolling him over to place him in cuffs. Meanwhile, Jay wrapped Hailey in his arms, bringing his chin down to her head as they swayed together in an embrace. Her breath was heavy and shaky, and she felt tears pool at the corners of her eyes. She was overwhelmed by everything that had just happened, but his arms wound tightly around her helped steady her breathing.
“It’s okay Hailey, you’re safe. I’ve got you,” he reassured her through a whisper. She took comfort in his words, and despite the pain surging through her head, she buried it deeper into his chest.
Luckily, they had reached the target and her family in time before the offenders could do any harm. Hailey went to Med to get her head checked out. A few stitches and several scans later, she was cleared, making her way back to the district to take whatever repercussions Voight had in store for her. The second she made it up the stairs, everyone’s eyes fell on her and she just flashed them a gentle smile and nod, signaling to them she was okay. Voight came to the doorway of his office, and she didn’t miss a beat heading straight towards him. However, just before she reached the door, his attention shifted over towards Jay at his desk.
“You too, Jay,” was all the sergeant said before turning and moving back into his office. Jay stood, making his way over and closing the door behind him before coming to stand beside Hailey across from the Voight’s desk. He looked over at them silently for a moment, Hailey setting her jaw tightly as she braced for whatever was to come.
“Are we just making a habit out of disobeying me and questioning my orders? Is that what we’re doing now?” He asked them. They remained silent. “Because if that’s what we’re doing and you’ve got a problem with how I run things, there’s the door. You can get out right now,” he told them sternly.
“Sarge, we needed to get those guys. Catching them in the act was the only way. I did what I had to do to make sure those families got justice,” Hailey said, her eyes remaining fixed with his.
“I told you to pick them up, bring them in, and instead you went your own way, putting that family, yourself, and a couple of patrol officers at risk. I could suspend you over this,” he argued, a distinct tension building in his voice.
“Sarge, it was my idea. If anyone deserves punishment, it’s me,” Jay admitted, causing Hailey’s head to swivel his direction, a cross look on her face as the words left his mouth.
“No, that’s not… Look, I went there on my own. I’m the only one to blame here,” Hailey argued causing him to shake his head before them.
“Okay, look. I know there’s something going on between you two, I have known for a while,” the second the words left his mouth, their eyes met briefly, and they both swallowed hard before turning back to him. “I decided to turn a blind eye because you two were able to keep it strictly professional here at work as far as I was concerned. But what happened today, what’s happening right now… this lying to me and covering for each other is not welcome in my unit. This is your warning and it’s the only one you’re going to get. As long as I’m in charge of this unit, you listen to me. You don’t go off-book, you don’t go behind my back because you disagree with what I say, and you certainly don’t let whatever is going on between you two change the way you make decisions. I know you guys are going to have each other’s backs… as partners and as whatever else, but the second that trumps having my back and the team's back, the way it did today, it undermines my authority and puts all of us at risk. If anything happens again like what happened today, you’re both done, and I’ll make sure you never work in the same unit again. Is that clear?” He asked them.
“Understood,” Jay replied.
“Yes, Sarge,” Hailey uttered, her heart rate dropping significantly with relief.
They drove home that night in silence, partly from exhaustion and partly from trying to process everything that had happened in the past 72 hours. Three days ago, they were on their first official date, celebrating their relationship for what felt like the first time, and now they were coming down from what could have easily been the end of their job and their partnership. Even though she hated the way it had to go down, she stood by having Jay’s back and trying to protect their relationship, even if it meant muddying the waters between them and Voight. From the start of the case, she was determined to catch the guys, chasing a small sense of redemption she felt she needed for that case she worked so many years prior. She wasn’t happy about everything that happened, particularly everything that went wrong, but she was able to save a family and get some form of justice for the others, and she stood by that firmly. It wasn’t the first time she had challenged Voight or crossed lines, but it was the first time she was genuinely fearful of the consequences. She was just glad her fears didn’t come to fruition. She looked over at Jay in the driver’s seat, and she remembered the way he told her she was safe after pulling her from the attacker only hours prior. Safe wasn’t something she had felt often in her life, but she certainly felt it when she was with him. She smiled to herself in the dark, satisfied to know that at least for that day, despite everything that happened, their relationship and their partnership were two things she could still consider safe.

Tumblr media
You waited in your car in front of the office building you worked at, anticipating the arrival of your best friend who you always walked into work with. You and Joshua used to have the exact same title. You worked on the same floor, ate lunch at the same time, and even sat at the same desk. For six months, you spent nearly every working moment together, often goofing around and chatting even when you should be working. Your boss never suspected the two of you, though, as you still got all of your work done properly and on time. 
However, a couple of weeks ago, you got promoted. You used to work on the second floor with Joshua, but your promotion forced you to move up to the sixth floor. You had your own office, which was good because you wouldn’t want to share a desk with anyone else in that building, but the worst part was that your lunch time got moved to an hour later than it was before. So, simply put, you rarely ever saw Joshua at work anymore and it upset the both of you greatly. You both accepted it, though, as Joshua and yourself knew that it was for the betterment of your career (and your salary). 
You felt your heart jump when you saw Joshua’s sleek black car pull into the parking lot. He had been saving his money and finally splurged on a new one when his 2008 clunker finally broke down on him. You were happy for him and needless to say, he looked super sexy driving it. 
You got out of your car, shut the door and locked it before heading over to where Joshua had parked just a few spots over from you. 
Your heels clicked as Joshua got out of his car as well. His platinum hair was parted down the center and it was fluffy, framing his face perfectly. He wore a white, long sleeve button up, black slacks accompanied by a belt, black loafers and a nice watch that looked to be way nicer than he could afford. You swallowed, loving yet hating how amazing he looked in work clothes. 
“Good morning!” he exclaimed happily, a small smile making its way onto his face upon seeing you. “Ready for another grueling day of doing something that contributes almost nothing to society for a less than satisfactory paycheck?” he asked, hugging you from the side. You laughed as you hugged him back and began walking toward the building. 
“Sadly yes, I’m numb to it at this point.”
“Yeah, me too.” he chuckled as the automatic doors to the building opened for the pair of you. 
You headed for the elevator and Joshua pressed the “up” button. You were already dreading saying goodbye for the day, as the ride to the second floor took less than 30 seconds. 
“Are you sure you can’t take an early lunch or something? I miss you.” he said casually as you stepped into the elevator. You tried not to smile too widely at his words, knowing he meant them in a purely platonic way.
“As I’m pretty new to the position, I don’t think I should be too pushy about my schedule just yet. But trust me, I wish I could.” you pushed the “2” button followed by the “6” button and waited for the doors to close. 
“Yeah, I know. Guess I’ll just keep eating with Mia,” he replied and you nearly cringed at the thought of him eating with her; she just so happened to be extremely pretty. “She’s nice, just doesn’t say much.” he shrugged and you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding in. You were just happy she wasn’t flirting with him or anything like that. 
The doors opened and you frowned as Joshua stepped out and turned to face you. 
“So long,” he said dramatically as he sent you a theatrical, yet relatively sarcastic, look as the doors closed. 
“Bye Joshua.” you laughed as the elevator closed and blocked him from view, your lonely ascent to the 6th floor beginning. Once you arrived, you trudged to your office and attempted to mentally prepare for another long day without Joshua.
Okay, so you had a gigantic crush on him if it wasn’t obvious, but how could you not? Working with the sweetest, funniest, most reliable, humble, and attractive guy you’d ever met almost everyday for 6 months was bound to have an affect on you. You never told him, though. You knew that he was out of your league, and that being said, you also didn’t want to risk ruining your friendship, and thus, you kept your feelings to yourself. 
Your day was full of meetings and your boss grilling you about if you had done the things on her extraordinarily long to-do list. You told her that you had done most of it and would try to get everything done by the end of the day. She was less than excited about the fact that you used the word “try”, but simply stressed you that you get it done before finally leaving you alone. 
She left at 4, an hour before you were supposed to, and you were happily able to tell her that you were almost done with the tasks she had given you. She gave you a smile, which was pretty impressive for her, and you continued working. 
You were typing away on your computer, and had been for the better part of an hour without realizing it, when there was a knock at your door. You looked up and saw Joshua entering your office, the butterflies in your stomach beginning to swarm. 
“Hey?” you questioned. He normally never came up to your office. 
“It’s almost 5:20 and you didn’t meet me downstairs, so I figured I should check up on you.” 
“Oh, is it? I didn’t even notice.” you sighed and leaned back in your chair. 
“Busy day?” he asked as he walked into your office, placing one his thigh on top of your desk and leaning on it with his arm.
“Like you wouldn’t believe,” you groaned, “but with great power comes great responsibility.” he smiled down at you sweetly, wishing he could take some of your workload from you. 
“Well how about you relinquish your power for today,” he turned off your monitor, “and let me walk you to your car?” you smiled back at him and nodded. Your work was saved automatically, so you shut down your computer and gathered your things before standing up and leaving your office, your best friend in tow. 
“Any plans tonight?” he asked as you made your way to the elevator. 
“Just a warm shower, very comfortable pajamas, and maybe some Netflix. What about you?” you answered honestly as you pressed the “down” button, the door opening immediately. 
“I think the guys wanna come over and play video games or something. You should come over too, we’re getting pizza, and you love pizza.” he said matter-of-factly, but you just laughed as you both stepped inside. 
“That’s very true, but I can get my own. Enjoy the guy's time though, you deserve it.” you patted Joshua’s shoulder before pressing the “1” button and watching the doors close. The elevator ride and walk to your car was comfortably silent. You reached your less than impressive vehicle and stopped, turning to face Joshua. Before you could speak, he asked you a question. 
“Hey… why do you always say no when I ask you to hang out?” he said shyly, playing with the end of one of his shirt sleeves. 
“It’s the reason that I always give you,” you shrugged. “I know you have friends other than me, so I want you to have fun with them without me intruding.”
“Well yeah, I get that, but now that we don’t work together anymore...” Joshua reached up to grab your waist and pull you closer, but he stopped himself before you could notice. “Look, I’m just saying, we would all love it if you joined us sometime, so think about it okay?” he asked kindly and you nodded. 
“I will. Promise.” you nodded. “But for now, there is a steaming hot cup of tea and a reclining couch in my future.” 
“Next time then,” he said rather dejectedly. “I’ll call you later, okay?” You nodded as you got in your car and bid each other goodbye. 
As you drove away, you wondered when you would finally take Joshua up on his offer. Maybe subconsciously you thought that meeting Joshua’s other friends or going to his apartment would make things between the two of you more serious. You thought maybe something would happen that would set your feelings for him in stone.
You were hesitant to say it was love, though, as even when you worked together you didn’t see each other outside of work much. It was probably because you were together for 40 hours a week anyway. You’d only ever gone to a bar or a restaurant after work 5 or 6 times, and you always thought that that was enough. If you thought there was even a slight chance that he would return your feelings for him, then you’d have no problem with things between you changing, but you knew he didn’t, and even if he did, you were too scared of confessing to him to find out. You had never been in love before, but what you felt for Joshua was certainly the closest you had ever come to it. 
You parked in your assigned spot and turned your car off before heading up to your apartment. Though your thoughts had depressed you slightly, you got excited when you remembered Joshua would be calling you later. 
When you got your promotion, you started calling Joshua at night and you told him that it was to talk about how each other’s days went, and it kind of was, but you mostly just wanted to hear his voice. Admittedly, it was one of your favorite things about him. Not only did he have incredible biceps, wide-set shoulders, an amazingly slender waist, pecks that were easily big enough for a bra, an exquisite complexion, and plush, pillow-like lips that his smooth, honey voice dripped off of. 
Your thoughts of Joshua put you in such a daze that you were barely aware of the fact that you were already in your bathroom preparing to take a shower. You took off your clothes and turned the water on high heat before stepping in.
Hands. You had forgotten Joshua’s hands. His palms were large and his fingers the perfect length for.... sexual things you often thought about. You wondered how much better you shower would’ve been if only he was with you…
You tried to shake the thoughts out of your head as you washed yourself as quickly as you could, longing to put on your coziest pajamas and vege on your couch. 
You hopped out of the shower, dried off and padded into your room. You hung your towel on the corner of your door and threw on your favorite shirt and pajama pants. You ran a comb through your hair and completed the steps of your skincare routine, happy that it was finally time to do absolutely nothing. 
You boiled some water and made a cup of tea to calm you down for the night and put on an episode of the show you had recently started binging. You often wished you had the courage to invite Joshua over to simply do nothing with you, as it was one of your favorite hobbies, but you were afraid of what you might do or say in the comfort of your own home, and were even more afraid of getting rejected. 
As you sipped your tea, you felt your eyes begin to grow heavy. Though each time they closed for too long, you shook yourself awake, as you realized your phone hadn’t rang yet. 
When the episode ended, you made the decision to head into your room. After putting your mug in your sink and turning everything off, you climbed into bed. It was already 11:00pm, so you hoped Joshua would be calling soon. You played games on your phone to pass the time, until finally, a familiar ringtone filled your ears.
“Hi.” you answered the call almost too excitedly. 
“Well hi there,” you could hear the smile in his voice.
“Did you have a good night?” you asked, also smiling on instinct. 
“I did, the guys got too loud though, so had to end the party early.”
“Was it Vernon or the one who thinks he’s a tiger? Those are the only two I know.” you asked and he laughed out loud; you could just see the cute eye smile he had when he laughed really hard. 
“It was the tiger, actually. Good job. How was your night?” 
“Oh, you know, did exactly what I said I was gonna do. It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, though.” you played with the blanket that rested across your legs, remembering how you’d wished he was with you.
“Really? Why not?” he asked and you could hear the ruffling of bed sheets from his end of the call. You went back and forth between saying what you wanted to say and covering up your true emotions like you normally do, but you decided to reply with something in the middle of the two. 
“I don’t know… I guess I kinda wish I had taken you up on your offer to come over, but I definitely wouldn’t wanna play video games.” you said and he chuckled, but for once there wasn’t a trace of a smile on your face. You were nervous, as every time Joshua invited you over you wished you had said yes, this was just the first time you were admitting it to him. 
“Yeah, that doesn’t seem like you,” there was a long pause, “What… would you wanna do?” he asked ever so quietly, to the point that you almost couldn’t hear his voice. The question would normally sound innocent if you hadn’t been thinking about showering with him an hour or two prior, and something in his voice sounded sensual, like he was tempting you, trying to get you to confess something. Could he have been thinking the same things as you? 
“I-I don’t know, watch a movie or something,” you said as casually as you could, though you were sure the shake in your voice gave you away. Dammit, you thought. Why am I so stupid?
“Oh,” Joshua let out an awkward cough, “Yeah, that would be cool.”
You both just sat there in silence, in a very awkward silence. That never really happened to the two of you, one of you almost always had something to say and you hated the intensity of the current situation.
“I’m really tired, so I think I’m gonna go to sleep.” you told him, not sounding nearly as chipper as you did when you answered the phone. 
“Yeah… yeah you should do that. It’s really late.” he said and you could hear him pull the chain of what you assumed was a lamp before settling further into his bed. 
“Goodnight Josh.” you said sweetly, but hung up the call before you could hear his response. 
You, too, turned off the light that sat on your bedside table and curled up underneath your comforter. Tossing and turning, you tried to rid your mind of every dirty, sexual thought you’d had about your best friend that night. You don’t know what changed, but you were acting the complete opposite of how you usually forced yourself to act. You made an effort to never think about him provocatively, yet there you were, sexy Joshua thoughts galore, and you were beyond angry with yourself. You basically prayed that things would be normal between the two of you the next day.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to you, you were all Joshua could think about. The entire night, he’d wondered what it would have been like if you had accepted his offer and come over. How fun it would be to play video games with you, only letting you win when you were obviously frustrated. How happy it would make him to see you getting along with his 12 other best friends (he knew they would love you). How funny he would think it was when you bragged about the fact that you were able to eat more pizza slices than him, and how excited he would be sneaking you into his room, away from all the others, teasing you until you either begged him to fuck you senseless or pleaded for him to wait until everyone left. 
As much as his mind told him not to, he knew his body wouldn’t listen as his hand slid down his body until he reached his member that was already halfway hard at the mere thought of you. His mind ran wild thinking of how pretty your moans would sound, how painfully sexy you would look with your mouth around his member or your head thrown back into the pillows, and how beautiful you would look when it was all over.
Tumblr media
You were a complete wreck. You had woken up late, seemingly taken way longer than usual to get ready, and you spilt the coffee you had brought from home all over your blouse when you pressed the brakes too hard at a red light. Thankfully you kept an extra shirt in your office, but that didn’t change the fact that you were frazzled beyond belief. 
You somehow managed to make it to work close to on time, but you didn’t bother to wait for Joshua. You had to get up to your office and change your shirt before the now cold coffee seeped through to your skin any further. 
Though, Joshua on the other hand, was patiently waiting in his car for you to arrive, and when he saw you walking at a fast pace, in a frustrated fashion with no sign that you would be waiting for him, he let out a defeated sigh and turned off his car. Was it his fault you were frustrated? Were you still upset at how awkward things had gotten last night? Did you somehow know about his wank session that involved endless imagery of you? He surely hoped it was none of those things, especially the last one, as he made his way up to his desk.
You changed into your spare shirt in the corner of your office as fast as you could, partially because you needed to start working as soon as possible and partially so that no one would see you. The shirt was white and much tighter than you remembered it being, almost to the point that it was uncomfortable, but you didn’t have time to have an issue with it. 
Low and behold, as soon as you sat down and turned your computer on, your boss entered your office. 
“Good morning, Y/N. Happy Friday.” she said professionally. 
“Happy Friday to you as well.” you replied, trying not to sound as out of breath as you were. 
“I have a big meeting on Monday in Chicago. I’ll be leaving on Sunday and unless you want to come in on a Saturday, I highly suggest you finish all of this today.” she said as she handed you a sheet of paper. It was a list that started at the very top of the page and went all the way down to the bottom. 
“M-ma’am, I know you need all of this done, but it’s quite a lot… I’m sure there’s someone else in the office that can take on some of these tasks and help get them done much faster than I could on my own.” you said as kindly as possible, though inside you were both boiling with rage and baffled by how much she was asking of you. 
“Now Y/N…” she stepped closer to your desk and raised her eyebrow, “I promoted you for a reason. Don’t make me regret it.” and before you knew it, she was turning on her heel and walking out the door.
As badly as you wanted to bury your face in your hands and cry from stress, you knew you didn’t have time for that. You went through the list and picked out the shortest tasks to do first and numbered those with a “1”, then you found all of the tasks that were on the computer and labeled those with a “2”, and finally you marked the longer tasks, such as going different places within the building and sorting through files, with a “3”. You felt much more confident after that. 
You worked quickly yet diligently up until lunch time, but you weren’t even done with the shortest tasks yet. As you scarfed down your lunch, you decided you would do the 3 tasks next instead of the 2’s. You figured you would be stuck at work for an extra hour or two, so you would rather walk around the building while it was still populated. 
You grabbed the files you needed and went up to the 8th floor, the top floor where your boss and other executives worked, and got a few signatures. Then, you went down to the 4th and 3rd floors to collect some forms that you needed to fill out and to get information on the meeting your boss was going to. Then you, rather begrudgingly, went down to the 2nd floor where the industrial copier was. There were a few papers that your boss needed 200 copies each of, and the tiny printer in your office wasn’t by any means capable of that.
On the elevator ride down, you tried thinking if there was a route you could take to avoid seeing Joshua at his desk, but you couldn't come up with one. Normally, you’d be ecstatic that you were able to go to his floor and would spend as much time as you could at his desk without getting caught, but you weren’t really sure if he wanted to see you after last night’s awkwardness, and frankly, you didn’t know if you wanted to see him either. 
When the elevator reached the 2nd floor, you stepped out and quickly walked to the room where the copier was with your head down. You walked by Joshua’s desk, but thankfully you didn’t think he noticed you. 
Once you reached the copier, you took out the 4 papers you needed and began scanning them for copies. You waited, and waited, your foot tapping impatiently, and when the machine began printing copies of the 4th paper, there was a light knock at the door. 
“Y/N?” Joshua’s sweet voice called out and you squeezed your eyes shut in defeat.
“Hey,” you replied quietly, though you stayed with your body turned toward the copier. 
“How are you?” he asked kindly, slowly making his way over to you. 
“Bad,” you chuckled at the unbelievability of it all, “What about you?” 
“Um, fine I guess. I missed you this morning…” he said and your brows furrowed.
“You were still in your car when I got here? I was almost late.” you told him, surprise evident in your voice and your eyes wide as you finally looked at him. He was wearing a white button up identical to the one from yesterday, but his pants were khaki instead of black like usual. His hair was styled off of his forehead and it wasn’t helping the state you were in at all. 
“Yeah, well I like you being the first person I see everyday. Makes the thought of going to work a little easier.” he shrugged and you felt like you could cry. How was he so fucking sweet?
“Thanks Josh, I just had a rough morning. I’ll do better next week, but right now I’ve gotta get these papers upstairs.” you said as you bent down to grab the gigantic stack of papers the copier had produced and held them tightly to your chest once you picked them up. You gave him a shy smile and, finally, went back to your office. 
You nearly threw the papers onto your desk and separated them, putting the pieces of paper in stacks with papers alike. You then sat down and began your computer tasks, though once you saw the time on your computer, a heavy weight fell on your shoulders. You only had half an hour of work left, and there was no way you were going to be able to finish everything in that time. Though, again, you shook it off and began working. 
You typed for the remainder of the work day, feeling as if your fingers were about to fall off. You had absolutely no concept of time at that point. Had it been 1 minute or 1 hour? You didn’t know, and before you knew it, you heard a tapping sound coming from the front of your office. 
“Y/N, come on. I walked alone this morning and I’m not about to walk alone now.” 
You buried your face in your hands and let out a very frustrated groan.
“I can’t leave!” you nearly yelled. “My boss gave me this stupid long to-do this morning and unless I wanna come in tomorrow, which I so don’t, I have to finish everything tonight, but it seems like the more I do the longer this list gets and- God this sucks.” you were on the verge of tears, your elbows on your desk and your hands in your hair. You looked down and closed your eyes, not wanting tears to fall in front of Joshua; he’d never seen you cry before. 
The room was silent for a moment, then you heard footsteps. 
“Hey,” Joshua said, squatting down in front of your desk. He moved your hands off of your head and placed your arms on your desk. Red-eyed and reluctantly, you looked at him. “I’m gonna help you, okay? You’ll get everything done tonight and you’ll get to sleep in tomorrow, I promise.” he smiled a toothless, genuine smile. “Let me go get my laptop, alright?” 
On a normal day, you would insist that he should go home, that it was a Friday night and that you knew he had plans and that he should go enjoy them, but you hadn’t been this stressed since you got promoted. That being said, you simply nodded and admired his figure as he exited your office. 
You began attaching the forms you needed him to fill out to an email as you waited. Even though it was on work terms, you were really excited to finally have some alone time with Joshua. You wished you were feeling more bubbly, for his sake, but he knew how to handle you in any state.
He came back with his laptop in one hand and a foldable chair in the other. He walked around to the side of your desk that you were on and set up the chair next to you before putting his laptop on your desk and turning it on. 
“Thank you, Joshua, really. I know you had plans tonight, so it means a lot that you’re helping me.” you told him, but he just nodded. He was always the type to help without feeling the need to be thanked, so he almost never said ‘you’re welcome’.
You were typing and clicking at a rapid pace, forwarding things to your boss and to her colleagues, making sure everyone that was going on the business trip had the information they needed. You weren’t exactly why you were the one getting things for a business trip that you weren’t even going on, but you didn’t question it as you wanted to keep your job. 
At around 9pm, you finally sent out your last email. You sighed loudly and slumped down in your chair dramatically with a blissful smile on your face. Joshua looked down at you and grinned.
“All done?” he asked and you nodded.
“I feel so much better.” you admitted and sat up straight again. You placed your elbow on your desk and rested your cheek in your hand, looking toward Joshua. “Are you almost finished? I can help you with the rest.” 
“Actually,” he clicked his mouse a few times before looking at you, “I’m done too.” he closed his laptop and stood up and you followed suit. You smiled ear to ear and bent down to turn off your computer. Joshua folded the chair he was sitting in and you gathered your things before finally exiting your office. All of the lights in the building were turned off, except the emergency lights, so it was relatively dark. 
“You know,” Joshua began as you made your way to the elevator, “the guys don’t even believe you’re real at this point.” you couldn't help but giggle. 
“Yeah? Because you keep saying I’ll come to things and then I don’t?” you asked and he let out a breathy laugh, entering the elevator with you by his side and pressing the “2” button. 
“I guess so… I must’ve made you sound too good to be true.” he looked over at you, but you kept your gaze on the elevator floor, hiding your blush. Was he playing some sort of game or were you still hypersensitive from the previous night? You figured if he had something to say he would just say it, but maybe he felt the same way as you in terms of not wanting to ruin your friendship… It felt like forever, but you eventually reached the second floor and made your way to Joshua’s workspace. 
He placed his laptop on his desk and you plugged it into the charger as he went to put the chair away. You leaned against his desk as you waited, not exactly sure where he went. You tapped your foot on the linoleum floor and soon Joshua was headed back toward you. Though, the way he was walking was strange. His head was down and he seemed to be twiddling his fingers in front of him.
When he reached you, you stood up straight, a look of concern on your face. 
“Are you oka-” 
“I love you.”
You blinked up at him. “What?”
“Uhh, I’m in love with you. I don’t know why I’m telling you this right now.” he said, avoiding your gaze. 
All you could do was stand still. Normally your body and mind reacted instinctively upon hearing things, but this time you were frozen. He finally looked you in the eyes and you felt your test tighten. 
“Why…” you pondered for a moment, “Why didn’t you say something last night?!” you threw your hands up in the air frustratedly and stepped away from him. His face went from nervous to confused as he turned to look at you. 
“What? Why would I have done that?” 
“Oh, I don’t know, maybe because I was horny out of my mind?” you raised your voice slightly, and he was looking at you like a deer caught in headlights. You looked at him for a moment, then sighed, burying your face in your hands. “Sorry, that was… anyway what I meant to say is that I like you too, a lot actually, love is just a really scary word and I’ve never been in love before so I didn’t want to word it that way and I’m not only interested in you physically, even though that’s how it sounded, it just would’ve been nice to know that yesterday because I’ve been like, really lonely for a while now and would’ve potentially, no, definitely wanted to hook up or something, but anyway that’s beside point-” 
“Y/N.” Joshua interrupted your extremely nervous ramble and walked up to you, your chests almost touching. He reached up and gently tilted your chin so you were looking up into his beautiful brown eyes. Before you could ask what he was doing, his lips were on yours.
You couldn’t believe it, but his lips felt even softer than they looked. His kiss was gentle, warm, and inviting, just as he was. 
You put your arms around his neck and pulled him closer, wanting to feel him against you as best as you could. His tongue slid into your mouth and his hands began roaming your body. He touched you everywhere he could, as if he’d thought about what he’d do this moment on an endless loop. His hands roamed your sides, squeezing your hips with a groan before moving up to your breasts.
“God this shirt…” he whispered into the kiss. You smirked against his lips as you leaned into his touch. 
“What about it?” you replied quickly, unable to believe how amazing his hands felt even over your blouse. 
“It’s so,” he bit your bottom lip as he pulled away from the kiss, “tight.” you moaned into the kiss as his hands travelled down your body once more. One stopped at your waist and the other continued to your ass. “These skirts are ridiculous too.” he sighed against your lips, pushing your lower half against his. You could feel him growing hard in his pants, his member prodding against your stomach only exciting you further. 
“What?” you laughed, “Are they too tight?” you raised your eyebrow. He smirked against your lips, reaching down and grabbing the back of your thighs before lifting you up and setting you on the desk. You placed a lingering kiss on his lips, “Because I’ll show you tight.” you joked and he chuckled, looking down at the floor.
“I don’t know why I thought you would be able to stay serious this whole time.” he kissed you again, only this time with more force. You kept one hand on the back of his neck and moved the other one to his chest, beginning to unbutton his dress shirt. With each button that came undone, more of his beautiful honey-colored skin was revealed. 
Once his front was fully revealed, you didn’t hesitate to run your hands across his perfectly sculpted chest and down his slender waist to rest on his belt buckle. He quickly untucked your shirt from your skirt and lifted it over your head, tossing it behind you. He unbuckled your bra with ease as he kissed you, almost aggressively pulling it off and tossing it to the side. When his hands finally touched your bare breasts, he let out a long sigh, his kisses becoming sloppier. 
“This is so much better than I imagined.” he grunted, the words going straight between your legs. You couldn’t use words to express how happy, and aroused, it made you to know that Joshua had just as sinful thoughts about you as you had about him. 
Joshua removed his hands from you to pull off his shirt. He dropped it at his feet and returned one hand to your breast, thumb roaming over your nipple as his other hand fiddled with the zipper on the side of your skirt. He tugged it down and you lifted your body enough so that he could pull it off. 
Suddenly he grabbed your hips and slid you forward, your crotch pressing against his. He leaned down and took one of your nipples in his mouth, grinding his hardened member against you. The pressure on your clit and the wetness of his mouth on your breast had you whimpering, your fingers threaded through his platinum locks. 
“J-Joshua, more,” you whined, trying to keep your voice as steady as possible. He sat you up straight and your hands immediately went to work on his belt. Your hands shook slightly as you undid it, your excitement getting the best of you. As soon as it was unbuckled, you popped the button open and unzipped his pants as he quickly toed his shoes off. He kicked his pants off as well and shoved them under the desk with his foot. 
Your hand immediately went to palm his member over his boxers, a beautiful moan falling off of Joshua’s lips. He went from kissing your lips to your neck and you bit your lip, trying not to make the noises your body so desperately wanted to make. 
You sighed before reaching into Joshua’s boxers, beginning to stroke his length. He inhaled sharply at the feeling before letting out a shaky breath. When you reached the top of his cock, you ran your thumb over the tip, precum dripping down his shaft. 
“Y/N,” he moaned, “God I need to fuck you.” he let out a sigh as he rested his forehead against yours, breathing heavily. 
“Then do it.” you smirked, refusing to break eye contact as you slowly slid his boxers down his thighs. You placed a light kiss on his lips and shoved them the rest of the way down. He kicked them to where the rest of his clothes were before grabbing your hip with one hand and resting his other on the desk. He leaned forward and captured your lips in a kiss, continuing to lean forward until you were laying flat against the cold wood. 
He kissed you sweetly as his hand travelled down your body, moving right past where you needed him most, to grip your thigh. You knew he was teasing you and you hated it. 
As soon as you went to complain, his lips were kissing your neck once more. He bit down gently on your skin before sliding his tongue over the wound. You let out a moan as he moved to another spot on your neck, repeating the process on another spot of supple skin. 
You moved your hands to his hair and pulled on it, arching into his touch. He then peppered kisses across your chest before moving to your breasts. He wrapped his mouth around one and his large hand encompassed the other. He sucked on your nipple before pulling on it with his teeth, the action going straight between your legs.
He sloppily kissed his way down your stomach, his hands moving down your legs and removing your heels. When he reached right below your navel, he slowly spread your legs. You were hesitant, being so exposed always made you nervous, but you were too far gone to even think of changing anything. 
He lightly blew on your clit, eliciting a loud moan to fall from your lips. Your back arched and you tugged on his hair, trying to pull him closer to your heat.  
“Tell me what you want.” though his voice sounded sweet, his tone was adamant. He stared at your pussy, glistening beautifully just for him. He couldn’t believe he was finally getting the opportunity to touch you, to feel you. 
“I,” he ran his finger along your heat, collecting your wetness and causing you to let out a shaky breath as he trailed his wet finger down your thigh. “I-I want your mouth.” you rushed. He continued gently roaming his finger all around your lower half, though purposefully avoiding your sensitive spot. 
“Want my mouth… where?” he pouted slightly as he looked up at you from between your legs. 
“Joshua please don’t make me-” he cut you off by slowly licking from your entrance to your clit. He lapped at your pussy, collecting your juices on his tongue before sucking on your clit. You breathed heavily as you grabbed at his hair, whimpers leaving your lips. He kitten licked at your heat as he slid one of his long fingers into you. 
“Oh my god yes,” you moaned breathlessly as he pumped it in and out of you. He soon added a second finger, curling them inside of you before pumping them a few times and repeating the process. The tips of his fingers hit your spot, and he knew it too. You clenched around his fingers and moaned louder than you had the entire night. 
“Joshua…” you said quietly, stopping his hand with yours. He looked up at you with wide eyes, thinking that he had done something wrong. You brought his fingers to your lips and Joshua bit his lip as he watched you suck them clean. You put your hand on the back of his head and crashed your lips to his, the taste of you still on his tongue. 
“What is it?” he whispered against your lips. You let your tongue explore his mouth as he slowly stood up. You reached down to stroke his length once more, Joshua bucking into your hand involuntarily.
“Wanna come on your cock.” you admitted and felt him smirk against your lips. You laid back down eagerly, Joshua leaning with you, continuing the kiss. 
He propped himself up on one elbow and moved his other hand in between your bodies, aligning his cock with your entrance. He kissed you passionately as he slid into you, a guttural moan falling from Joshua’s lips and a high-pitched one falling  from yours. He buried his face in your neck as you got used to the feeling of each other, the euphoria being better than you could have imagined. 
“Okay,” you exhaled and tapped his shoulder. He slowly pulled out of you and then slammed back in, repeating the slow yet menacing process until it was clear the both of you needed more. 
Joshua stood up straight, your hips tight in his grip, and quickened his pace. You could feel every inch of him, a light sweat covering your forehead. 
“Harder,” you pleaded, though your voice was barely audible.
Your wish was his command as he kept the fast pace, but began pounding into you mercilessly. With each thrust he hit your g-spot, causing your back to arch almost painfully.
“You feel so good baby,” he groaned, a quiet moan falling from your lips at the unexpected nickname.
Joshua couldn’t keep his eyes off of you and his ears worked hard to pick up every sound that fell from your lips. Your breasts bounced with each thrust and he could hear how wet you were; how wet he had made you. Other than how sinfully beautiful you looked under him, the fact that he was the one who was making you feel so good was driving him crazy. 
“I’m so close,” you whimpered, eyes closing as you relished in the feeling. One of Joshua’s hands moved from your waist to your clit, adding pressure as he thrusted into you. You cried out, grabbing his hand that was on your hip and digging your nails into it. 
“Look at me,” he demanded. As hard as it was, you opened your eyes and looked directly into his. There was hair sticking to his forehead and a few beads of sweat were rolling down his chest and you swore you could’ve come from the sight of him alone. 
The combination of Joshua’s cock thrusting into you at the perfect angle along with his finger on your clit and the face he made when you clenched around him was enough to throw you over the edge. You came around him, the calling out of his name accompanying your shaking body in its euphoric state. 
As soon as you came down from your high, Joshua pulled out of you and rubbed his length along your heat, cumming on your stomach with a loud moan. 
You laid there, sweaty and exhausted, your chest moving up and down rapidly. You reached up and ran your hands through your hair as Joshua opened one of his desk drawers. He pulled out a napkin and wiped his cum off of you before tossing it into the trash can. 
“Thank you,” you said shyly. He nodded and offered his hand to you. You took it and he pulled you up toward him, a small smile on your face. 
“See I knew you were hot, but that was insane.” he pecked your lips as you laughed.
“Right back at you.” you moved a few of the hairs off of his forehead and admired his slightly dewy features. 
“Now I say,” he ran his hands down your bare sides, “we stay at your place tonight. Our first time having sex should be our first time spending the night together right? I would say we could go to my place, it’s kind of a mess.” he suggested, lacing his fingers together behind your back. You smiled up at him.
“I love you too.” you said and his face dropped.
“What?” he mirrored you with his words. 
“I love you too. I realized I never said it back to you before, but I do.”
Joshua remembered you mentioning not knowing what being in love feels like and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Then, as if a lightbulb went off in his head, he made a face of realization. 
“It was the dick wasn’t it?” he questioned, causing you to let out a laugh.
“What’re you talking about?” you asked as you leaned back on your hands.
“Cause before you were all like ‘oh I don’t know what love is’ and now you’re saying you love me.” he impersonated you and now you were both laughing, specifically at the chances of it all. 
“It wasn’t just the sex… but I will admit it was the deciding factor.” 
“Well, I’m glad you decided to return the feeling.” the conversation ended as his eyes slowly made their way from your face to your neck. “I see I left my mark,” he ran his fingers over the few hickey’s he had left near your collarbones, “Sorry about that.” 
Your eyes fluttered shut at his touch, your skin seemingly more sensitive than it was before. “Stop touching me or I’m gonna try and fuck you again and I would like our next time to be outside of the office.” 
“So you mean like, at the park or something?” you opened your eyes and looked at him with a deadpan expression. He flashed you a dorky smile, but you just rolled your eyes, standing up to collect your clothing.
He tried to convince you that what he’d said was funny as the both of you got dressed, but you simply nodded and threw out an ‘mhm’ here and there. 
As you left the office, hand in hand for the first time, you decided to stop by Joshua’s apartment so he could pick up some clothes for the weekend (he didn’t plan on going home until he had to) and to drop off his car, then head over to your place. 
Once you arrived at your apartment, you took a somehow innocent shower together. Both of you were tired, but neither of you were through with feeling the other’s skin on your own. You took your time getting ready for bed, running a comb through your hair and applying moisturiser. You talked to Joshua and it felt like nothing had changed, you were still the best friends you were before, and you wondered if that meant you were in love with each other the entire time, maybe even before you ever realized you liked him. 
You settled into your bed, Joshua’s bare chest under your head. He ran his hand through your damp hair as your eyelids grew heavier. 
“So I guess we’re, what, together now?” he asked and you looked up at him.
“I’d like that if you would, yeah.” you said quietly, hoping that after your evening the two of you were on the same page. 
“More than anything.” 
He kissed your forehead and you returned to your spot on his chest, a thankful, thoroughly pleased smile on your face as you drifted off to sleep.

Scenario: Putting Make-Up on Nekoma Boys
Characters: Kozume Kenma, Lev Haiba, Alisa Haiba cause I love her sm omfg
A/n: This was HEAVILY inspired by my desire to look feminine the way guys are just because of a tiktok video. Small warning (?) I literally do not know how to describe doing Lev’s make up, because it just looks so fucking complicated. (also can you imagine how pretty timeskip Lev would look with that makeup look??? Just god, chef’s kiss dude).  Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy my first scenario thing.
Inspo; Kenma’s, Lev’s, Alisa’s
🖤❤️🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kozume Kenma
You knew putting on make-up on your boyfriend wasn’t going to be that difficult. He’s used to sitting on a chair hours on end, being unbothered by anything around him. Getting him to agree to doing it was the difficult part. This mission all started when you as Kenma’s lover got tagged repeatedly in a video where a girl was begging you to do make up on him, to complete the femboy look. Since he already wore a skirt for a tiktok trend once.
After much planning and looking for the perfect time you finally convinced him to put it as a reward for a charity stream he was doing. If the donations got to 100k he would let you put on make up on him.
“I still think this is a bad idea.” He chuckled setting up his stream. You, who was laying on his bed watching him mischievously grinned, “Why not??? 100K is a lot of money, I doubt people would donate that much.”
Oh how wrong you were. Within the first hour the donation already double that number and Kenma could only glare at you for convincing him to do it. You burst in laughter when he looked at you desperately wanting the stream to be over already. “Fine, just don’t put a full face on me.” 
You laughed and introduced yourself to the stream before going to put on his make up. You had decided to do a tiktok look where the guys are feminine the way boys are. By defining his cheekbones, giving him slightly bushier brows, deepening his eyes, and finally a bit of eyeliner. His stream went wild.
Everyone, excluding him, seems to be enjoying the entire process and the end result. His fans even begun donating more and requesting other make up looks to you.
“Babe look, someone want me to use bold colors on you. Can I do it?”
“No.”
You laughed every time he would immediately say no at your request, but you didn’t miss the slight blush that crept to his face every single time. You had a slight hunch that he actually enjoyed being dolled up. A mental reminder made it’s way to your mind to ask him after the stream if he wanted to do it more often. 
You were almost 100% sure he’d say yes. 
“Right take it off.” You ignored him and went back to your position in the background. “Y/n I swear.”
“What you don’t think I did a good job?” You decided to teased him much further. He groaned and turned his chair to face you. “I love you, I really do, but please take it off.”
Giggling, you strode to him and gave him a light peck on his forehead. 
“You look incredible, anyways, don’t you have games to play on your stream? Just take it off after.”
You walked back to the bed with a smug grin feeling like you’d won, until, “200k and I’m forcing them to go against me in any game 1v1. It’ll be funny watching them rage and get embarrassed at how bad they are. ” 
The donation bar was at 190K.

Lev Haiba
Lev was very used to using make up, not full on full faced make up but more of a touch up. He was a model after all. But his make up looks were always to make his already beautiful natural face shine even more. It was never editorial or over the top and you desperately wanted to change that.
“Babe?” You called him when he got home after working. He hummed in reply. “Would you let me put on make up on you?”
Immediately, he jumped over to your side with the biggest smile in his face, he looked like a energetic puppy. “So, yes?” You looked at him with an amused grin. In which he replied to your question nodding enthusiastically. 
Because he came home earlier than he usually do, you decided to do the make up on him right at that moment. That and because he followed you around like a lost puppy for 5 minutes straight whilst you were doing other chores, very expectant about the pretty make up you were going to put on him.
You decided to pick a bright blue eyeshadow that would not only match his dark navy suit he was wearing for a photoshoot, but also his beautiful eyes. After hours of working you were pleasantly surprised that Lev stayed still. Or at least still enough for you to work without a mess. 
He still talked here and there. Not to mention how he would sometimes look at you dead in the eyes with the most love stricken gaze. It flustered you, yet you were determined to finish the look. 
Once you were finally finished, you brought the mirror close to him and he exploded with joy. “Baby you did incredible!!! How did you do this?!?!” he didn’t stop complimenting you or admiring your work, even as you were setting up some lighting for some photos. Because even you had thought it looked too amazing to not be photographed. 
After taking some pics which was easier due to his modelling skills, you had to physically drag him to the bathroom to wash all of it off. He complained and whined to you but you still forced him to clean it, afraid he would get acne if he kept it overnight.
The next day at work though, you got a message from Lev. 
‘CONGRATS!!! You’re my new make up artist now, I won’t take no for an answer  😁’
You spammed him repeatedly asking him what he meant by that but he just left you on read.

Alisa Haiba
You already knew your girlfriend, Alisa Haiba, was a rather hopeless romantic. But you’d never expected it would’ve placed you, her lover, in this kind of situation. Currently you were in front of an already dressed Alisa ready for her shoot and you were expected to put on make up on her. 
“Love, this is too much pressure.” You looked at the array of make up tools Alisa had set up for you in a nervous wreck.
“I know you’re good at make up!! I just wanted to show your skills off to my team!” She smiled rather expectantly at you. 
With eyes like an excited kitten ready to play you couldn’t refuse. 
See it all started when you were experimenting with your own make up. Trying to do random editorial looks and so on. What you didn’t account for was your peeping girlfriend in the door frame watching your every move with sparkles in her eyes.
Her mind raced with the possibilities of the both of you working together in a set, her as your model. To her it seemed like a dream come true and a way to satisfy her imaginative mind when it came to romance. Though, you being in the situation right now, you couldn’t help but feel anxious at the eager gazes of everyone in the room. 
From the make up artists working on the other models, to the photographer. Everyone was waiting for you to make the first move, they wanted to see what Alisa’s chatter was about when she recommended you for a high end brand modeling job.
“Remind me what the theme was again?” You gulped nervously as you started racking your brain for ideas. “Angelic.” She answered.
Finally exhaling the breath you’ve been holding, you picked up a brush and began to work on her eyes. You had seen her looks in all of her modeling gigs, they used a lot of light blue to contrast with her beautiful platinum hair and bright blue eyes. So, you wanted to do something different.
Something that would most likely impress the people around you and hopefully not bring down Alisa’s reputation for recommending you. 
After you were done, you held your breath once more and stepped aside to let Alisa look at the mirror. Shockingly she squealed and jumped to crush you in a hug.
“It’s so pretty!!!” That exact moment you could feel the tension in the entire room drop immediately. 
Everyone was rather impressed by your skills and especially Alisa who begged you to be her MUA for the rest of her career. Which you declined with a wry smile, you didn’t think you could handle the crushing pressure that the stares of everyone in the room would bring every single time.

sᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: After the events of Thanos (pretending no one needed to die and he doesn’t leave everyone for some dry coochie) , you and Steve have had this nightly thing going on and you’ve had enough being second choice. Being nothing but something to warm his bed just to leave in the morning.
ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs: little bit of angst (so bad at writing angst), age gap (not specifically mention but implied), smut 18+ (rough sex, degradtion but also praise lol, unprotected sex, slight hair pulling, mirror sex, choking, oral fem receiving, i think that’s it idk)

“Well, I see you tomorrow,” Steve said, gathering his clothes yet again bolting out the door.
You didn’t say anything in return, just laid facing your back away from Steve as he left you just like he always does. You knew what you were getting yourself into when Steve first asked you do have sex with him. No strings attached just mindless fucking, getting laid for shits and giggles. 
At first it was fine, not exactly what you wanted but you loved Steve and you were willingly to take what you could. You and Steve had a pretty close relationship beforehand and became even closer after the initial offer. But then after a while, he started to become a bit more distant. Only talking to you when he needed to and leaving your side before the sun even came up. 
You thought it was something you’d done but he assured you nothing was wrong. But now every time you he sneaks out of you room to pretend like you didn’t just fuck each other into oblivion, you felt dirty and gross. But you let him back every night pretending to be ok with this, like you didn’t wish he would kiss you and tell you you’re beautiful.
Steve opened your door ready to leave telling himself, Don’t look back. Don’t look back. Of course though he looked back and watched your naked form tug the sheets bringing them up to chin curling in on yourself. He wanted to stay but he couldn’t. He couldn’t do that to you. 
You were still young and he had so much history and baggage. Part of the reason he even considered going back to 1945. He wanted to curl up behind you and whisper in your ear that things were going to be okay. He wanted to hold you and keep you warm, especially with winter coming to New York rapidly. 
Because as he said he couldn’t do that to you, you didn’t deserve it. This nightly thing was ruining yo and it was his fault. Steve decided then he had to end this; for his sake and yours.
+++
“Hey kid, you ok?” Natasha asked.
“Yeah, why do you ask?” you retorted, trying your very to suppress all memories of the last night. Steve was standing across her with cup of coffee in his hand keeping his eyes from looking into yours.
“I heard you crying last night when I passed your room,” she said softly, running her arm against yours in comfort. Natasha was like the mother you wish you had. You pretty much told her everything.
“Why were you up so late?”
“I was watching a movie.”
“Oh. Can we talk later?’” you asked her.
“Of course.”
Steve knew exactly what was wrong. What you two were doing wasn’t good for you guys anymore; but you couldn’t stop. You ate breakfast and rushed back to your room. Nat came in a few mins later closing and locking your door so you could talk with no intrusions. 
“What did you want to talk about?” she asked sitting on your bed. 
“I need to tell you a secret,” you whispered.
“Ok,” she leaned in smiling.
“Me and Steve,” you paused, “we’ve been having sex.”
There was a long pause but it wasn’t Nat to register what you. Of course she fucking knew. Her room was directly next to yours.
“You’re not saying anything. Why aren’t you saying anything?” you panicked.
“Hon, our rooms are next to each other. There’s a reason I stay up late watching movies.” 
“Oh I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize we were being a bother! Please don’t tell anyone,” you panicked even more.
“I’m not and haven’t said a word.”
“Ok, because if anyone finds out Steve is gonna be really mad.”
“Hey no one’s gonna know,” she assured you.
When she asked how all this came to play you told her everything. She had a suspicion that you had feelings for Steve and when she heard two going at it like rabbits she merely thought you wanted to keep the relationship secret. To say she became livid at Steve for taking advantage of you was a completely understatement. She wanted to kill him. 
You asked her if she would let sleep in her room tonight so she could avoid Steve at least for one day. After she said yes, you asked if she wanted to play video games but she said she’d watch you. You gamed for a while and started to get really hungry after a few hours. You ended up getting pizza delivered. Bucky and Sam grabbed the pizzas from the guy at the front and bolted to your room.
“Did you guys order pizza?”
“Yeah, you want some?”
“Hell yeah!” Sam shouted and waited for Nat to unlock your door. 
Same came inside as Bucky ran to the kitchen to grab some beers and sodas for you guys. When he returned you guys kept playing video games switching off whose turn it was to give shot at the game. You ended up nearly finishing the pizzas and left empty beer bottles and soda cans all over the table. All of you guys laughing hysterical, watching Sam do attempt after attempt of the section in the game. He kept dying in the same spot over and over and over again you all couldn't help but make jokes making you all nearly pee from laughing.
Steve had just finished a session of training alone. He usually works out with Buck but today he was nowhere in sight. Neither was Sam. He knew that Nat was in your room and evidently avoided coming into contact with you, but he thought Bucky and Sam went out to the bar or something. An invite would’ve been nice. Something to distract from thinking about you.
Although he didn’t want to, he figured he should go to Nat and see if maybe she knew where the boys were. He was giving Nat’s room a try before going to yours but when he arrived on the floor that yours and Nat’s rooms were, he heard loud laughter emitting from your room.
He instantly knew everyone resided there.
“What’s going on?” He pushed the door slightly.
You all got very quiet suddenly, especially you. You stood up and excused yourself to the bathroom, not even wanting to look at him right now. 
“We’re just playing some video games. Y/n and Nat ordered pizza and when we brought them the boxes, we ended up just staying. Where were you?” Bucky responded then asked.
“I was downstairs training.”
“Awe man! I didn’t realize how late it was getting sorry I missed it bud. I’ll be there tomorrow, for sure.”
“It’s ok. Hope you're all having fun,” Steve said before he left and closed the door.
“Y/n, he’s gone babe,” Nat came up to the door to tell you.
“What happened?” Sam asked. 
“Nothing,” she retorted.
“Ok well it’s pretty late we should get some sleep,” Bucky announced.
The boys left and when they did you quickly grabbed some clothes and your toothbrush and ran next door alongside Nat to get ready to go to bed.
+++
It had been around 3 in the morning and Steve still couldn’t seem to get even an ounce of sleep. He couldn’t stop thinking about you and how he wanted to go to you and fuck until he was tired out but he didn’t want to use you anymore. He swore he wouldn’t. 
After another hour of painful silence, Steve through logic out the window and headed to your room. Maybe if he just laid beside you knowing you were just there, that could make him feel better.
When Steve knocked on your door, you didn’t answer. He opened it to see if maybe you were asleep; but he really couldn’t tell. So he stepped as quietly as possible towards your bed and moved the blankets. When he was met with cold sheets and full pillows he realized you hadn’t been here all night.
“She’s sleeping.”
Steve jerked his head to find Natasha leaning against the door frame, arms crossed and an eyebrow raised. He’d realized there was no getting out of this situation and slumped on your bed head falling into his hands. He ran his hands through hair wishing desperately they were yours but you had run away from him.
“Why are you doing this to her?” Nat asked softly, she wasn’t exactly as mad anymore now having seen that there is something more that neither of you are admitting to each other; but she was still pretty pissed. 
“I can’t sleep,” was his response.
“So waking her up to use her as a toy was the solution?”
“It’s not like that,” Steve nearly shouted.
“You need to stop using her. Tell her the truth or leave her alone.”
“What truth?” Steve asked.
“Steve, don’t play dumb. There’s something deeper than just mindless fucking and you know it. Unfortunately she doesn’t and if you don’t tell soon it’s gonna break her. She’s too young for this bullshit, Steve.”
“I can’t do that to her. You know how fucked up my life has been and dragging her into that? I can’t do that to her. She doesn’t deserve it.” 
“So fucking her at night only to leave in the morning and pretend like nothing ever happened between you guys is the better option? Really, Steve? I thought you were smarter than that.”
There was a long pause as Steve realize he fuck himself over from the start. 
“Fix this,” Nat said before going back to her room to sleep for the rest of the night.
+++
For the next few days you had slept in Nat’s room. Normally you would find yourself cuddled close to her but never completely squishing her like did this particular morning.
“Oh well good morning sunshine,” she laughed putting her phone to pull you closer. It almost made your stomach flutter because you wish you had someone to wake up to like this everyday; preferably with Steve though.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to keep you in bed.”
“Oh it’s fine. I quite liked the cuddling,” she retorted as you got off of her.
“If only Steve did too,” you said to yourself aloud.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Nat shouted that it was okay for them to enter; it was Tony.
“Hey Nat, so I was able to get a babysitter for Morgan for tonight; I don’t think I told you but, Lang’s kid-” he stopped when he noticed you were in the room too, totally unexpected.
“Oh uh,” Nat looked at you not so discreetly, “We should talk about this later.
“Ok,” Tony bolted out the door.
“What was that?”
“Nothing. Let’s get ready for breakfast, I think Tony is gonna order a special breakfast or something to get delivered.”
“Oh that’s nice.” you wondered if it had anything to do with what you hoped it would but you seemed to be proven wrong when no one seemed to say anything.
After one of the bed breakfasts you’ve ever had, Bucky, Sam, and Nat went back to your room to play more video games like the other night. You and Nat stayed on the bed while the boys were on the floor intensely slashing around in time with the game’s combat.
There was a quiet knock at your door in contrast to the volume of the television but your trained ears could hear it. You walked to the door telling the boys to quiet down before you actually opened the door. On the other side was actually someone you didn’t expect.
“Steve, what’s up? You need someone?”
“Actually, maybe I could hang with you guys? I brought food,” he smiled shyly.
“Oh my goodness, of course,” you let him.  
“Hey guys I’ve got lunch,” he announced, walking to the table off to the side of your room; since the boys moved it to roll around on the floor. You however waited by the closed door. You wished Steve would come to you when you were alone and not to hang out with his friends that you kept captive; and not for just sex of course either. 
“Yay!” everyone shouted.
“Y/n you should eat too,” Nat said, bringing you food from the bag.
“I’m not too hungry right now,” you responded.
“You might not have time later to fuel yourself. You’re gonna want to.”
Ok what is going on? You ask yourself. You still took the food she gave you though. That question would soon be answered thankfully.
Hours later and Tony barged in frantically.
“Let’s go you bums! Lang’s kid just came over!”
“Why didn’t you say anything!?” Nat shouted and kicked everyone out. 
“What's going on? You guys have been weird all day.”
“Did you really think we’d forget your birthday, babe?” Nat said to you.
“What?” your eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
“Yeah, we got you a nice breakfast, Steve brought you lunch, and Tony and I are taking everyone out to the club to celebrate your birthday!” Nat said hugging you.
“Oh my goodness, why didn’t anyone say anything? I wasn't mad but literally not one person, not even you, said anything,” tears brimmed your eyes.
“I know I’m sorry but hey now we get to spend all night partying for you and only you. Tony has all your birthday gifts at the club already, we got a VIP booth,” she winked at you. 
She ran to her room extremely quick and returned with a dress bag. She pulled out a short ivory satin slip dress that complimented your soft skin beautifully. It was backless as well and also had a small slit that was very high up. Looking at it made you kinda nervous. No way you were gonna wear that.
Wanda came in right after wearing an all black long sleeved off the shoulder dress that made her look so beautiful. She hugged you and wished a happy birthday before turning to the bathroom to grab you some makeup. While Wanda did your makeup giving you a very natural look to enhance the beauty you already bestowed, Nat changed into a strapless black dress as well that had a deep vee neck.
She took out a box and gave it to you along with the white dress and told you to change. 
“I’m not wearing this. Where’s the rest of it?” the girls laughed loudly.
“It's actually not that revealing, so don't worry about that. Also we’re practically gonna be in the dark.”
“What’s in the box?”
“You’ll see,” Wanda winked. 
“If you can’t figure it out though, we’ll help you,” Nat confirmed.
You went into the bathroom after grabbing some appropriate panties for this table cloth of a dress opting for nude lace panties wanting to feel extra sexy for your big night. After you put the dress, you admired yourself for a bit admiring the way you looked before opening the box. When you did you didn’t quite know what it was at first but after picking it up you realized it was a diamond body chain for your thigh. You figured for the thigh exposed from the slit in the slip dress. 
You came out almost ready to leave and the girls whistled and howled hyping you up. You picked up the pair of strappy heels set on your bed, being decorated as well with diamonds. You put them on and the diamonds wrapped around the ankle shining just like the body chain you had on your thigh.  You put on a pair of earrings and you were officially ready to party for the night.
You walked downstairs with the girls and the boys nearly fell over after looking at how beautiful you three were. Pepper was already dressed and downstairs dressed much more modestly but just as stunning. The boys were dressed formally but not black tie formal, just perfect for a night out. 
Steve more specifically was absolutely captivated by the way you looked. You always held yourself with elegance that made him blush, but this? How was gonna keep any sort self control when you look so fucking perfect. You smiled at Steve and everyone moved to the front where the limo that Tony rented was waiting. 
Steve held your hand and helped you inside almost immediately cutting Bucky off so that he could sit next to you on the way to the city. Once everyone was inside you were on your way to the club.
“You look beautiful,” Steve whispered to you. You damn near shit yourself, you were so in love with him.
“Thank you, Steve.”
When you got to the club you all got settled in the VIP booth, where all your gifts from everyone were. One by one you opened them as drinks came in, ordered by Tony and Pepper. You thanked everyone with a hug and off they were to dance. You cleaned up a bit while Steve too stayed behind. 
“You didn’t open my gift,” he said smirking.
“I didn’t?” you questioned.
“Well you didn’t exactly have access to it,” he pulled a box from his pocket. When you opened it was a gorgeous gold necklace with your birthstone just big enough at the center. You looked back at Steve and thanked him over and over again.
“Do you want me to put it on?” he asked.
“Yes, of course.”
He grabbed the necklace and you turned around grabbing and moving your hair for Steve to clip the necklace. When he had done so, he quickly but gently kissed the back of your neck, his face shortly lingering, seeing the chills and shiver your body had done. 
You felt your body grow cold and were about to say something when Nat had come interrupting your moment.
“Y/n, let’s go dance! Come on!” she dragged you away.
“What was that I saw,” she asked you when you were on the dance floor.
“Honestly I don’t know.”
After a couple hours of dancing you had gone to the bar to get some water and maybe a drink. When you got the you had met up with Bucky who was preoccupied with a girl he met tonight. 
“Hey, doll,” he said when he noticed your presence; completely ignoring the girl after.
“Hey, Buck.”
“How’s your night going?” he got closer so you could hear him over the incredibly loud music.
“I'm doing amazing but I'm a little tired already, thought I’d get some water.”
“That’s good. Stay hydrated, princess.” Bucky has been like a brother to you since you came to the tower. Him and Nat have always been your go-to’s and it’s nice to feel like you have family to care for you. That’s kinda what you are. 
You continued to carry nice conversation as you both drank at the bar. You decided since your feet were beginning to ache to sit on a bar stool but Bucky deciding against it. He stood nearly in between your legs, not in a sexual manner but just to be close to you because the music was so fucking loud and you two could hardly hear each other. 
But that didn’t translate well to Steve who stood at the end of the bar with Bruce and Thor; who ended up bringing Asgardian mead for him, Steve, and Bucky. Truth be told, he didn’t like the way Bucky was standing so close to you but he couldn’t blame him. You looked ravishing and Steve never told his best friend about your nightly encounters and definitely not how much he really cared for you romantically.
You noticed a pair of eyes piercing through you and when you turned you looked into Steve’s eyes. He looked betrayed and confused. Why would he feel like that anyway; you weren’t his. Especially since he’s the one who seems to show no interest in you beyond a nightly affair.
You figured you messed with him only to see if he would say anything, maybe that could push him to finally realize your his; you’ve always been his. Bucky continued to conversate with you at the bar and you opened your legs just a bit to bring him closer. To Bucky you seemed like you couldn’t hear him. But to Steve, you were flirting.
You reached out to Bucky and pulled him closer laughing at something he said, and Steve saw red. He bolted to the bar where you and Bucky were and snatched you away. 
“Hey, man. What the fuck is going on?” Bucky shouted to Steve.
“Stay out of this, asshole,” Steve practically growled back.
“The fuck, you good man? Don’t be grabbing her like that, dickhead.”
“I said stay out!” Steve let go and shoved Bucky away.
“Steve!” you shouted. You had zero clue why he was acting like this.
Nat came over and helped Bucky while Sam stepped into between the two. 
“What the hell is going here?” Nat shouted.
“Nothing,” Steve said, “you’re coming with me.”
Steve started walking to the front of the building, quickly calling a cab when you were outside in the cold. 
“What are you doing? Steve no it’s my birthday! ”
“Exactly, let me treat the pretty birthday girl to something nice,” he came and whispered into your ear making you shudder in arousal.
“And what would that be?” you retorted.
“Oh you’ll see,” he practically threw in the cab that instantly started driving to the compound.
Steve dragged you to his room and tossed on the bed before turning around, locking the door behind him. Your body trembled nervous and excited for what Steve was going to do next.  
“You think you can get away with that knowing you belong to me?”
“I don’t belong to you. You don’t get to say that, you never even stayed until morning.”
“Watch your mouth, princess.” he grabbed your jaw making you look at him. You shut your mouth real quick.
“You think you can act like fucking little slut around Bucky, practically begging him to fuck with your eyes. Well baby girl, your mine. Got it?”
You simply nodded your head, arousal pooling in your panties. Steve never showed you any kind of affection during your nightly affair but seeing him jealous and possessive was a huge turn on.
“Yes, captain,” he said, pulling your hair to make you look at him.
“Yes, captain,” you whimpered.
“Take off your dress, leave the chain and heels.”
You scrambled to the bed after nearly tearing your dress off your body. Steve went to the bathroom for a brisk moment unsure as to why but soon enough emerged rolling the sleeves of his collared shirt up his enormous forearms. 
You laid spread against the bed awaiting your encounter with Steve. He stalked towards you with a shit-eating grin plastered to his face; oh the things he was gonna do to you tonight. 
“Look at you.”
“Steve,” you whimpered, moving your thighs together to squeeze out some sort of friction to your sensitive pussy. 
“What? You’re squirming around around like fish out of water,” he kneeled to the floor, “but your fucking soaked.
In front of his face there was an embarrassingly large wet spot on your panties, the lace doing next to nothing to keep your arousal contained. Steve’s hands lingered up your  ankles and calves, kissing your legs and knees so softly. You whined and whimpered hoping for Steve to just have his way with you already, but he continued to be torturous and take his ever sweet time with you.
“What’s the matter you dumb baby? You want me to make you feel good? You want me to use my mouth on you and make you come as many times as you can,” he mocked.
“Yes! Please, Steve!”
With that he ripped your underwear going straight in with absolutely no warning making you moan loud. Steve’s tongue circled around your hole and his nose brushed your clit, driving you crazy. He brought his hand up to you and inserted a finger into your pussy.  
No matter how many times Steve fucks you’d probably never get used to even his thick fingers he often used on you. Not long after, Steve inserted another finger making you wrap your legs around his head, calves falling over his shoulders. Since you still had your heels on, they dug painful but pleasurable into Steve’s back, making him moan in return.
The moans eliciting from him make your pussy pulse around his fingers signaling you were extremely close to having your first orgasm of the night. Your hands flew to Steve’s hair and tugged on his long locks. His beard scratched you beautifully. He moved quicker and you almost instantly came all over his face. 
“Fucking whore. You gonna come?” Steve said. 
“Yes, captain! I’m gonna come,” you shouted.
When you did, Steve stood up quickly and manhandled you onto your stomach pulling you by your hips so your knees were under them. You turned your head forward toward the giant mirror that Steve had on his wall, said ‘it made the room look bigger’. 
You looked in the mirror and saw as Steve came behind you unzipping his pants then rubbing his hands roughly along your back. You shivered at how you laid completely bare for him, nothing but a body chain and heels, but he stood on his knees behind you fully clothed ready to use to his heart’s desire. 
“You think you could get away with acting like a fucking slut with that stunt you pulled? Did you think you could get away with that, you little bitch?” he smacked your ass.
You only whined as your body flinched. When you didn’t answer him he grabbed your hair and pulled up to your knees; your back completely flushed against his chest. 
“I asked you a fucking question,” he growled in your ear; making direct eye contact with you in the mirror. His sharp blue eyes are nearly black with lust.
“No! I didn’t mean it like that, baby,” you told him.
“Oh yeah? Cause it looked like you wanted Bucky to bend you over that fucking bar and take you for everyone to see.” 
“Maybe I did it to make you jealous.”
“Jealous?” Steve wrapped his hand around the throat making your eyes roll to the back of your head.
“I’m not jealous because you and I both know you belong to me and tonight I’m gonna make sure everybody in this fucking compound knows it, especially Bucky.”
You moaned at his words so loud it was almost pornographic. Hearing Steve become extremely possessive made you feel dare you say, loved. 
Steve shoved you face back into the mattress and grabbed his dick to line up with your dripping pussy. He gave no warning as he thrusted into you making you nearly scream in pure pleasure. You gripped the sheets hard making your knuckles turn white. Steve threw his head back from pure bliss in your sex. You felt amazing, perfect.
You looked at him in the mirror and came at the sight of him. That clearly didn’t stop Steve as he continued to thrust into you even harder than before chasing his own release. He grabbed at his collar shirt and ripped it open feeling overwhelmed with heat. 
His hand reached for your hair once again to pull flush against him. One hand circled around to rub at your clit, stimulating another orgasm approaching while the other wrapped around your throat more to keep you in place than bring you satisfaction. Tears streaming down your face in pleasure, mascara slightly messy and running.
“You feel so fucking good, baby. Look at us,” he looked in the mirror.
“You see how precious you look right now? Like a fucking angel.”
You could only whimper and moan at the sight in front of you. Steve completely ruining you in the best way possible. 
“No one is ever gonna be able to fuck you as good as I do, got it? Your mine. Say it, tell me your mine, princess.”
“I’m yours! Oh god Steve baby, I’m all yours!”
With that you came hard on Steve’s dick, him too; hot spurts of his cum shooting into you. You fell forward, arms nearly giving out but Steve picked you up and leaned back with you back on his chest. His hands moved softly across your body, everything quiet around you two. The smell of sex lingering in the air, silence wrapping around you like a blanket. 
You stayed that way for a minute. You tried your best to catch your breath already beginning to feel really sore between your thighs. Steve moved you and laid gently on his bed before hurrying to the bathroom. You laid there wondering if Steve just had an episode, a desire to take control of something again, or if he actually wanted you to be his, to love you like you would dream at night after he left. 
He came back wearing nothing but a new set of boxers seemingly to have cleaned himself up. He had a washcloth with him however and began to wipe your makeup you had on. Once you were clean he carefully removed your body chain and heels, rubbing your feet to relieve any soreness from them too. 
He picked you and set you on his bathroom counter, everything still quiet around. That silence was broken however when he turned on the faucet to run yourselves a bath. When you both sat comfortably, lying on his chest in between his legs, he wet your hair and gently washed it rinsing after. You dried yourselves and when you went to put your dress back on ready to leave for the night, Steve stopped you.
“Don’t leave. Please,” he begged.
“I thought-”
“I want you to stay,” he didn’t only mean the night, he meant with him… forever. Or at least as long as you’ll have him, so hopefully forever.
“Steve,” you whispered holding his face.
“Can we talk about this tomorrow? I promise I’ll explain everything, just I know I was really rough right now and I want you to rest,” he nuzzled his face into your neck.
“Ok, you promise?”
“Promise.”
He went to grab a shirt for you to wear for the night but you simply led him back to the bed and crawled underneath the sheets. He asked about clothes and you just ignored him enticing a chuckle from him. 
“I think I’ve fallen in love with you baby girl.”
But you were already asleep.
+++
The next morning you woke up with the sun shining the most beautiful golden rays upon your skin. You two talked about what exactly happened last night and where you two would go from there. Thankful, feelings were mutual and you felt happy.
Heading down for breakfast you held Steve’s hand and everyone looked at you guys strangely. 
“Did you guys hook up last night or what’d I miss?”
“It’s really complicated,” you said curling closer to his side.
“You ok?” Nat whispered to you before you and Steve returned to his room with plates of breakfast. 
“Oh yeah,” you smiled.
“I feel great.”

Auston and Amelia, maybe one where all the guys mock Auston because he is alway clingy to and talking of Amelia. Maybe different scenarios one where they are on the road, or in bars or in games, thanks!
A.N. HI!! SO this one was fun to write. I hope it was similar to what you wanted because I got a little carried away while writing this. I also drew a lot of inspiration from the podcast Spittin’ Chiclets Interview Auston Matthews. He talks about how he was annoyed that Morgan Rielly got a girlfriend and I find it really funny. Also sorry the ending was a bit rushed. 
Word Count: 1,914
Master List
“Hi, I’d like a tall bud light and a strawberry lemonade,” I grinned politely at the bartender. He grinned sweetly at me as he nodded his head. I was currently out at the bars with Auston, his teammates, and their wives and girlfriends.
“Sure thing that'll be $10.00,” he said, placing the beer in front of me. I handed him my credit card as I waited for my drink.
“Hey sweet thang,” Auston whispered into my ear as he wrapped one of his arms around me, blocking me into the corner. I grinned as he pressed a kiss to my cheek. He reached around me and grabbed the beer off the counter taking a sip. His face scrunched up for a moment.
“Beer?” he asked. He had originally been drinking vodka lemonades but I was planning to leave soon and he honestly didn't need any more vodka. He took another sip before setting it back down on the bar counter and leaning against me, his head tucked into my neck. He placed a light kiss on my neck before pulling back slightly.
“Are you waiting on a drink?” he asked, leaning his head against mine. I nodded my head and grinned as the bartender walked over with my card and drink. I picked up my strawberry lemonade and grinned at Auston as I took a drink. He reached out grabbing it from me when I was finished.
“No alcohol in this?” he questioned confused.
“Noo I wanted it. It’s so good,” I said, taking another blissful sip. He grinned fondly at me before picking his beer up.
“Your cute,” he said through a hidden grin behind his cup. My cheeks immediately flushed as my eyes darted out to the dance floor spotting Steph and Mitchy. I turned around holding my drink and put my empty hand on Auston's chest. He wrapped his arms around me pulling me in. As I went to respond I was cut off.
“Matts. Amelia!” Willy exclaimed, throwing his arms around the two of us. Auston and I laughed as we leaned into the touch.
“You guys are just so cute,” Willy grinned, swaying us. I laughed as I elbowed Willy away so that we could move farther from the bar. Auston immediately moved back to my side stepping behind me slightly and pulling me back against his chest.
“Auston is always getting his hands on Amelia,” Willy exclaimed, turning to Zach Hyman who had joined us. I laughed loudly as I leaned back into Auston.
“How could he resist this,” I said, moving my hands up and down my body in an exaggerated motion sending a wink WIlly’s way. He laughed loudly.
“Amelia is definitely out of Auston’s league,” Mitch said as he walked to us placing a hand on Auston's shoulder.
“Really Mitchy,” Auston quipped.
“So out of your league Auston,” Steph teased leaning off of MItch's shoulder. I shared a laugh with Auston as I pat his cheek.
“Your perfect babe,” I grinned. He smiled gratefully at me as he leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to my lips. He pulled away and I blushed bright red as I saw all our friends staring at us.
“I’ve never seen Auston smile so much in my life,” Jack joked as he approached us.
“Amelia makes him smile,” Freddie said, turning to face him. I blushed leaning further into Auston. He tightened his arms that were wrapped around me and pressed his lips to the side of my face.
“They are just a bunch of bullies,” he teased. I tilted my head up with a laugh.
“Oh for sure,” I grinned.
----
“Look at how good this looks,” I said showing Auston my plate of food. He was away on a long road trip through the states and we had been facetiming for the last twenty minutes because he didn't have a game tonight.
“Oh yeah that looks good babe,” Auston said, taking a good look at the camera.
“Thanks, what are you up to tonight?” I questioned taking a seat on the couch and setting my phone on my leg.
“Some of the guys want to go out to the bars and then others want to play video games in the room,” he explained leaning back against his bed frame.
“Oh and what do you think you'll do?” I asked as I started to eat my food.
“Talk to you,” he grinned lazily at the camera. I grinned to myself as I took another bite.
“Oh yeah?” I quipped back.
“Yeah. What are you wearing?” he asked through a lazy grin. I laughed loudly as I held the camera up and showed my body that was in a Leaf's sweatshirt and my lacy blush pink underwear.
“Take a look for yourself,” I teased.
“God I wish I was home,” he groaned. I smiled pushing my plate away from me and stood up to walk to the bedroom.
“Me too,” I said as I crawled onto the bed and spread out.
“I miss you so much. I miss you putting your hands on me,” I moaned out lightly as I put my hands on myself.
“Oh babe I miss touching you,” he breathed out. As I went to respond we were cut off by the door opening and Mitchy walking in.
“Really,” Auston groaned to the ceiling.
“Oops did I interrupt something?” Mitch said smiling smugly at Auston. I laughed loudly as Auston threw his head back against the headboard with another groan.
“Mitch go away,” Auston whined, rolling his eyes. I gave Auston a look as I shook my head. I was not about to have facetime sex with him after being caught like that.
“The guys want to know if you're going out or going to Willys but considering you're talking to Amelia I’m going to guess you're doing neither,” Mitch teased Auston. We were suddenly interrupted by loud banging on the door.
“Auston get off the phone with Amelia and come out to the bars with us,” Willy called loudly through the door.
“You don’t know I’m on the phone with Amelia,” Auston said back offended.
“Dude you literally are on the phone with her,” Mitch exclaimed through a laugh. I grinned as I sat up in the bed.
“Let me guess Auston’s not coming out with us because he’s on the phone with Amelia,” I heard Mo say.
“Mo you can’t say shit remember when you blew me off to hang out with Tess,” Auston responded pettily.
“Whatever. You coming out or you going to stay here and be lame?” Mo responded.
“Stay here and be lame,” Auston responded moodily. I sent him a questioning look to which he sent me a raised eyebrow.
“Okay,” Mo said and then I heard the sound of a lot of shuffling and the door closing.
“They gone?” I asked, raising my eyebrow. He nodded before sitting up slightly in the bed.
“Yeah,” he lazily smiled.
“Is everything okay with you and Mo?” I asked lightly. I knew that the two had been getting into little arguments because Mo had been blowing Auston off lately for his girlfriend.
“Yeah, everything is fine. He and the guys have just been mocking me a lot lately about how much I talk about you,” he mumbled, rubbing his neck.
“Aw, you talk about me? I grinned back.
“Always, You're everything I ever wanted,” he grinned back seriously.
----
“Please come with,” Auston whined as he pulled me closer to him in bed. My name body pressed against his as I grunted.
“I’m not sure this sounds like fun. You said there won’t be any girls there Aus ” I managed to huff out.
“Willy will be there,” Auston tried to bribe. I gave him a serious look.
“Alright fine. I don’t want to leave you alone yet I’m not ready to.” My face softened as I took in Auston's suffering. I moved squeezed myself closer to him
“Babe, what’s wrong?” I asked softly. His body tensed slightly for a moment before he relaxed slowly.
“I just really missed you and being away while you're pregnant is just so hard,” he admitted gently. I rubbed my belly as he talked.
“Alright. I’ll DD,” I agreed as I pulled myself out of his arms.
“Really?” He asked with a grin hopping out of bed. I took in his beautiful naked body as I nodded my head with a smile on my face.
“Yeah,” I bit my lip. He grinned before leaning forward and pressing a big kiss to my lips. He then pulled away and made his way to the closet and quickly got changed. Once we were both ready we hopped in the car and I drove us down to the bar.
“I thought it was boy's night,” Zach teased when he saw the two of us walk in together. I held my hands up in defense as I looked between all of them.
“I’m DDing tonight,” I said innocently a few of the guys cheered and held up their glasses to that one. Mo gave Auston a look before returning his stare to his beer bottle. Auston rolled his eyes before looking back to me. I felt confusion start to brew as I took in the two friends arguing over what seemed like nothing.
“Good now I don't have to force Steph to come get me,” Mitch said, pulling me into a side hug. I giggled before turning back to Auston who was having what looked like an intense conversion with Mo.
“Auston do you ever not have Amelia at your side,” Spezza joked as he arrived at the table. A lot of the guys laughed as Auston looked away from Mo and made his way over to me.
“Don’t worry about it guys,” he responded, pulling me into his side. I grinned as I leaned into him.
-----
“Dude you're always simping over Amelia and canceling our plans,” Mo said leaning back against the couch. Auston paused the game as he turned to face Mo. I stood in the hall peeking around the corner as I took in the conversion before me.
“Mo you started it first when you got with Tess. You didn’t even tell me you were dating her at the beginning. At least I told you,” Auston said running his hand through his hair. Mo shook his head not liking that answer.
“You guys are always talking. It almost seems unhealthy. Like your way more into her than she is into you and I’m just trying to look out for you man,” Mo said leaning forward slightly.
“Listen man. Amelia is the love of my life. Our relationship is not unhealthy. We lost a baby and we wanted to have a family so bad. The fact that she is pregnant right now is a miracle. I worry when I leave her alone, I worry when I’m away. I can’t help her through half of this pregnancy because of my job so yeah I’m going to skip hanging out with the boys so I can watch my baby grow. Yeah, I’m going to skip out on hanging with the boys so I can spend time with my lovely sexy wife. Don’t ever talk disrespectfully about her. I would never do that to Tess man,” Auston said before leaning forward and pressing play on the game. Deciding I had heard enough I turned around and made my way back to the bedroom.

Tumblr media
Warning: Image heavy
By popular demand, aka 2 people, here is a gif tutorial. This will include how I do screenshots and actually make the gif. 
You will need: 
Photoshop. I use the Photoshop CC 2021 version but that’s only because I’m paying for it. There are sites you can download Photoshop on but I prefer the legal way. 
MPV player or any screencapping program that takes continuous screencaps. 
IMPORTANT: As I have learned, the video file you use must be 1080p or else they will look like absolute crap. Always try to get a 1080p copy no matter how long it takes. 
THE PROGRAM
As stated before, I use MVP player. That can be downloaded here. If you have a mac, I would move the app off of your desktop after downloading and to the applications folder. That way it is out of your iCloud and saves so much pain and frustration. 
Try to download the 0.29.0 version because later versions on macs have a glitch where there are duplicate screenshots (according to @/kylos). I had to download the 0.29.1 version because the other version won’t open at all for me after the last apple update (fuck bug sur). Anyway, I’ll probably mess up explaining this part so you can find out how to get it working here and here. 
To actually screencap, press option + s. The left and right arrow keys will help you move through the video. For more shortcuts, click here. 
Once that is all downloaded, now you can begin the giffing process.
THE PROCESS
Load the film you want to gif into the program, which is just a simple drag and drop. Then go through and find the scene you want to screencap. 
Tumblr media
Once I find the scene, I pause and then press option + s as mentioned above and screencap the scene. Press  option + s again to stop capturing.
Now you go open photoshop and go to File --> script --> load files into stack
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then this will pop up. Hit browse... 
Tumblr media
Then open your folder with the screenshots, select the screenshots by dragging down, and then click open.
Tumblr media
This is what it should look like. Now go through and delete the extra images you don’t need. 
Now we need to crop the future gif. Click the cropping tool and at the top left there is a way to set the crop dimensions. 
Tumblr media
The ones I have saved are Tumblr’s dimension sizes. The height doesn’t matter as much as the width does. For Tumblr; 540px is for one post across, 268px is 2 posts across, and 178px is 3 across. When doing 3 across make the last one 177px or else the last one will be blurry. Click here for more info on sizing. 
Today I’m going to make this 540:280. When you’re satisfied with the crop, click enter. 
Here is where the fun begins! I downloaded @kylos​ gif action here. To activate it double click on it. To view your actions go to window --> actions. A window should pop up with your action. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There will be a folder in there called GIF ACTION. Open the folder and select the SELECT HERE!. With that selected click on the play button to activate the action. 
Tumblr media
Just like magic, you now have a gif! Your layers panel should now look like this. Next we just need to resize the gif. 
Tumblr media
Go to Image --> Image size and this box will pop up. 
Tumblr media
Resize the image to your crop size and hit ok. Your image will now be a lot smaller. 
Next I go to Filter --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur. Set the blur to 1.0. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now this will take away the sharpness when I just want it to be a bit softer. To fix this double-click on the lines next to the smart filter. 
Tumblr media
This will bring up another box to change the opacity of the blur. I change it to 20% or less. This one I’ll make 15%. Hit ok when done. 
Tumblr media
One last thing is I fix the radius of the sharpening. Click on the bottom sharpening layer. A box should open.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Change the radius to 0.4 and hit ok. 
Before closing, open the timeline window by window --> timeline. If you want to cut down on the frames, grab either one of the grey bars on the beginning and end of the gif and drag to where you want it to start and end. 
Tumblr media
It’s now time to save. Go to File --> Export --> Save for Web (Legacy)...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This will pop up. Here you can see how many frames you have and how big the file is. I usually start off as close to 10mb as I can get. There are multiple ways you can save it but here are my settings. 
Tumblr media
Then save your gif to wherever you want it. But we aren’t done yet. 
Close the gif. You don’t have to save the psd but you can if you want to. Then reopen the gif in Photoshop. Everything you used before should still be open, aka the windows for actions and timeline. 
Tumblr media
Your screen will look like this. As you may notice, the gif speed is all over the place. The best speed for gifs is 0.5. This guide is very helpful. 
To get the gif to that speed, I dowloaded another action here. Add it to your actions as instructed above. 
Tumblr media
Open the Change to .05 folder and select the SELECT HERE!. With that selected click on the play button to activate the action, same as above. 
Tumblr media
And viola it is now the correct speed! But our gif doesn't look too great. It’s time to fix that up with some coloring. 
COLORING
Tumblr media
These are my coloring layers.  Make sure they are on top of all of the layers. 
Tumblr media
Here is what it looks like now after the coloring. You may notice the effect has only been added to one layer of the X amount of frames you have.
To fix this select the coloring layers and then go to the 3 lines at the top right of the box. 
Tumblr media
Click on this to open a dropdown box and click match layer across frames. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Make sure all the checks are marked and hit ok. 
Now all the layers have the coloring layers applied. 
Tumblr media
Remember when we were saving the gif and it was over 10mb. Well now it’s time to fix that. 
I like to go in and check the size after coloring because sometimes that can lower the gif size. 
Tumblr media
It did in this case so that creates less work. Close out of that and go back to your timeline. It’s time to delete some frames. 
You can select multiple frames at once by holding down shift as you select. I typically click around 5 to 10 at a time and make sure you don’t miss a single frame. I’m going to select more towards to the end. 
Tumblr media
Then click delete (the trashcan icon). 
Go back to export. If it is still too big delete some frames. In my case it was still too big so I have to delete more frames. 
Tumblr media
I now have it to around where I want it. It is less than 10 mb and sometimes that is better. So save your gif. I usually save it as [filename]final. 
QUALITY
To check the quality of the gif I go to Tumblr and go to make a photo post. 
Tumblr media
DO NOT post. Instead save it as a draft. Go to your drafts and see how it looks from your dash. If it looks pixelated then go back into photoshop and delete fames. Repeat the following steps until it is to your liking. 
Tumblr media
And then you have your final product! 
I hope this was helpful to you and I can’t wait to see what you create with this.
