When Buck went to sleep last night after spending the day with Jee and saw no text from Tommy he thought nothing of it, Tommy was hanging out with Eddie after going to a fight after all. When he woke up and still nothing he brushed it off and sent a text of his own, knowing Tommy would respond whenever the two woke from a night of drinking.
He had no idea that when he did hear something, it was from Athena telling him he needed to come pick up his dumb and dumber—her words, not his—from the police station of all places.
"What the hell are they doing here?" Buck asked Athena with a wide eyed look of shock the second she came to get him from the front desk.
Athena scoffed, shaking her head. "They were caught drunk off their asses trying to break into a junk yard."
"A...junk yard?" He repeated slowly confused, "Why?"
They reached the holding area, and Athena let out a laugh of disbelief but Buck could hear the slight amusement behind it. "They saw a cat run in and chased after it."
"They- what?" Buck gaped at her.
"Oh you heard me," She walked over to the officer at the desk, "Can you grab Tommy Kinard and Eddie Diaz for me Reggie?"
The man, Reggie, nodded and grabbed the keys from under the desk before walking off down the hall.
"From what I understand, you told Tommy you wanted to get a cat as a dog would be more difficult with your jobs," She continued as they waited.
Buck sputtered, "Wait- they chased after a stray cat and tried breaking into a junk yard because I told Tommy I wanted a cat?"
Athena raised an eyebrow with a look that said 'exactly, idiots' written all over it. Buck sighed and rubbed at his forehead.
He stared at them in shock when they finally came walking out slowly, dragging their feet along the floor and squinting as they no doubt had raging hangovers. It reminded Buck of when he and Eddie showed up to the wedding looking like a mess except– somehow they looked worse. Their clothes so ripped that half of Tommy's shirt was hanging off and the right leg of Eddie's pants was completely gone, dirty all over, hair a mess, Eddie only had one shoe, Tommy was limping.
"You two look...like a disaster."
"Evan!" Tommy exclaimed a little too loudly as he winced at his own voice, and Eddie flinched beside him. Buck had to bite his cheek to keep from laughing as Tommy was obviously hungover and just spent the night in a holding cell, and still gave him a dopey looking grin.
"So..how was it spending a night in jail?" He teased when they were walking out.
Eddie groaned, "It would have been fine, but someone had to make friends with criminals."
"Eddie, we weren't in there for a vacation remember," Tommy pointed out. "Besides, we couldn't ignore them all night-"
"Buck, tell your boyfriend he doesn't have to be friendly with everyone," Eddie interrupted with a groan.
"I'm not!"
"You're on a first name basis with all my neighbors and you don't even live there!"
"Hey!" Buck snapped his fingers between their faces, making the two flinch. "Would you two pause this conversation to get in the car already? You two need a shower."
"Did he just say we stink?" Eddie frowned, and moved closer to Tommy. "Do I stink?"
Tommy leaned in, "Oof yeah," He scrunched up his nose. "Do I?"
Eddie did the same and grimaced, "Oh yeah."
Buck sighed loudly and mumbled, "I'm getting why Athena called you two dumb and dumber the more this goes on."
"He's dumber," Tommy didn't hesitate to say, pointing at Eddie.
"Hey!"
Buck groaned and had enough, opening the doors to his jeep to shove them in. Eddie made a yelp of protest but got inside, Tommy instead smirked at Buck. "You know if you wanted to manhandle me all you had to do was say so baby."
Eddie fake gagged from the back seat, "I heard enough last night shut up Tommy!"
"What did you tell him last night?" Buck asked Tommy, now amused himself as his boyfriend situated himself into the passenger seat.
"How good you looked tie-" Eddie reached over and hit Tommy upside the head, "Ow! What the fuck Diaz-" he turned to get a hit of his own in but Buck grabbed his arm stopping him.
"Okay that's enough!" He huffed and shut the door, quickly going around to get in himself. "Since when am I the adult here?"
Buck loved that his boyfriend and best friend were friends themselves– but he was so banning them for drinking on their hangouts unless he was there from now on.
"Hey Evan?"
"Hm?"
"Can we go get that cat?"

Tumblr media
buckle up! suguru geto + satoru gojo + reader
warnings: swearing, smut, dom!suguru soft dom?! satoru, use of pet names, heavy degradation, rough fingering, slight choking, use of toys, cum play, suguru is very mean, reader is a brat, jealousy, mentions of alcohol, dacryphilia
summary: being a personal assistant to two hot ceo's may seem chaotic but does come with its advantages if both of them were head over heels with you and didn't bother fighting over it, after all two is better than one right? however, you test their limits when you flirt with one of their associates... but you're far too deep in ur ass to realise that indeed..it was a bad idea.
Tumblr media
it was supposed to be all fun and games! 
well, it’s always supposed to be - but this time, it was mostly because you were bored and needed something to do that would at least keep you entertained! what made them think that you out of all people would be interested in some dumb business dinner with stuck-up disgustingly rich snobby businessmen?       
and so, because of that 'stunt', you were sat on a sink, the cold marble touching your bare ass that made u hiss, satoru’s hands wrapped around your neck firmly.
"baby, what were you trying to achieve back there?" he asked, tilting his head to the side a little.
"i don't get why you're mad, all i did was go on my phone," you replied, rolling your eyes before you heard him click his tongue.
"don't roll your eyes at me, if you just went on your phone - i wouldn’t have cared, but sighing every two fucking minutes and tapping your feet on the ground so fucking hard was not necessary," he spat, gritting his teeth as you realised he was actually angry.
"i was bored okay? I don't even get why you guys bought me here in the first place! it's so boring...can i just call a taxi and head home first, pretty please?" you begged, making him inhale sharply before glaring at you.
"no y/n, you're staying here until we're done," he shot back, making you sigh.
“look, suguru and i have serious matters to discuss with a possible business partner, you should know how important this would be for us so i advise you, to stay put and enough with the bratty attitude."
"fiiiine, can you at least let me get my earphones from the car?" you asked, making him sigh angrily.
"no, look, if it helps...we'll finally be having dinner so you can stuff your mouth so you won't be bored anymore."
"i’d rather have my mouth stuffed with something else though," you whispered, leaning up to peck the side of his lips with a smirk.
"well maybe if you behave well for us, you'll get what you want after we're done," he says, giving you a smirk.
"okay, i’lll be good until then," you replied cheekily, a smirk spread across your face.
"good, now come, suguru is probably waiting for us."
both of you exited the bathroom and made your way back to the bustling restaurant where the company had rented out for the night in hopes of networking with other organizations.
"hey," suguru greeted you with a big smile, as you sat between him and satoru
you smiled at him, before bowing slightly to the man opposite you.
"so this must be your assistant? i’ve heard a lot about you," the man said, making you smile.
he looked around your age, and you had to admit he was pretty good-looking.
"well I hope good things," you said, a chuckle leaving your lips.
"nothing but good, i’ve heard you're excellent at your job, care to come work at my company instead? my assistant is still learning and he's a bit...well, slow in his work plus, it'll be nice to have a such a pretty girl walking around," he chuckled.
"well that wouldn't be too bad, i'll think about it," you joked, as you instantly felt suguru’s hand grab your thigh under the table. you hear satoru clear his throat to send a message to you to shut the fuck up. 
“let's order before we get into business, what do you say yuuji?" satoru asked, making you smile.
yuuji… what a cute name.
"yes of course, ill call over the waiter," yuuji said, before winking your way.
you smirked, suddenly having an idea in my head. how dumb
after everyone had ordered their food, they started chatting about their accomplishments at their respective companies, which to you just seemed like boastful comments.
you yawned softly as suguru drew slow circles on your thigh, something he usually did unconsciously while talking or resting. 
"would you really move to his company?" satoru whispered in your ear, making you smile.
"i don’t know… might be a nice new change of scenery," you whispered back cheekishly, as you heard the white haired man chuckle.
“if only he knew how much of a cock-hungry slut you are that you can’t even get a job done without getting filled up,” he chuckled lowly, making you clench around nothing.
"fuck off."
"language princess, you would be in a great deal amount of trouble if suguru heard you," he whispered, before pulling away.
you cleared your throat, before turning your attention to whatever suguru and yuuji were talking about.
the food finally arrived after a while, making you sigh happily as you looked down to the only familiar thing you had seen all night 
you almost moaned with how good it tasted, as you were glad you could eat since most of the reason you were bored was because you were hungry.
"you like it?" suguru asked, making you nod contently.
"yo y/n! we ordered the same thing!" yuuji pointed out, making you chuckle at how energetic and laid back he was.
"we did, it's so good right?" you asked him, giving him a sweet smile.
"it is, I would say I might order it the second time but the portion is so huge," yuuji said, laughing as you joined him.
"let's stay on track, yeah?” suguru said, a smile on his face as you felt his fingers grip your thigh tightly.
"ahh right yes, that is why we are here."
you sighed internally as you realized that was your queue to back out since you wouldn't understand as it wasn't your place to join their conversation.
and either way, it was boring.
"toruu," you whispered in satoru’s ear, while he was busy listening.
"later y/n, we're busy," he mumbled, his eyes darting between suguru and itadori as they discussed an important matter.
"but toruu this is important," you whined, feeling his hand make it's way to your thigh.
"y/n stop," he warned, gripping your thigh harshly, making you squirm in your seat a little.
once it was satoru’s turn to speak, you turned to your darling dark-haired boyfriend.
"sugu, can i go to the bathroom?"
"later," he whispered, as he didn't even bother glancing at you.
you sighed angrily, pushing their hands off your thigh before speaking out loudly.
"satoru would you be kind enough to move as i need to go to the bathroom?" you asked, tilting your head to the side as satoru stopped talking to look at you.
he hesitantly nodded, before standing up to let you get through.
you gave him a big smile before walking towards the bathroom area, your lips turning into a smirk as you knew you probably ticked them off. 
after you were done you opened the bathroom door, about to walk out before you saw someone push you back in quickly before they were pinning you to the door.
you looked up, your lips curving into a smile when you saw suguru’s angry eyes.
"what are you trying to do?" 
"i don't know what you mean?" you replied, looking at him cluelessly as he gritted his jaw.
"satoru spoke to you about staying put and being obedient before right? so what’s your problem now?" suguru drawled, as you shifted your legs, his deep voice not doing any good for your already wet panties.
"i’m already so bored...and you both were completely ignoring me," you sulked, pouting as you looked up at him with your big eyes.
"we both told you that you could go to the bathroom later right? so why did you still decide to ask again?"
"it's just the bathroom! i was so bored i was reapplying my mascara and lipgloss again just to avoid your boring conversations."
"pull up your dress," he suddenly spat, making you look up at him in confusion.
"huh?"
"not ‘huh’ i know a big reason why your so bored is because your needy little cunt is probably dripping right now...you think i didn't notice the way you keep shifting?" he asked, chuckling as he watched you slowly pull your dress up.
"tell me baby, what has you so needy right now?" suguru whispered in your ear, one of his hands moving down your body before he was cupping your heat.
you instantly let out a whine as you let go off your dress to hold onto his broad shoulders.
"i-i.....just wanted," you stuttered, bucking your hips up into his touch.
"you wanted what? attention?" he asked, as he slowly rubbed you over your panties, the thin material already sticking to your skin.
you nodded your head, making suguru chuckle darkly.
"you're always so needy for us aren't you? constantly need someone showing you attention...but you really couldn't go a few hours without being cock hungry huh? didn't satoru fuck you a few times this morning while i was out?" he asked, making you quietly moan as he drew circles on your covered clit.
you nodded once again, making suguru click his fingers.
"use your words, baby."
"mmhm...yes he did," you quickly said, as you felt him move your panties to the side before his fingers were pushing flush against your entrance.
"fuuuck your so wet," he groaned, bringing his coated fingers up to his lips.
"so tell me, you're still needy even after satoru fucked you only a few hours ago?" 
you nodded your head feverishly.
"suguuuuu....touch me please," you whined, making suguru chuckle.
he plunged two of his fingers into your seeping entrance without warning, making you throw your head back as you moaned loudly.
"quiet down, we don't need all our employees knowing how much of a dirty little slut you are for me now do we?" 
he started at a fast pace, nothing you weren't used to as he was normally rough with you in comparison to satoru, not that you cared anyways.
"cum niiice and sweet on my fingers okay?" he whispered, adding a third finger before he was curling them when he knew he hit your sweet spot.
your toes curled as you leaned into his shoulder to muffle your sounds.
"your such a fucking needy little girl baby, you've been fucked all morning and now your still so needy when we haven't even gone home yet," suguru whispered, lightly pecking your shoulder blade as his fingers pumped in and out of you.
"s-s-uguru....need...more," you whined, making your boyfriend laugh.
“nah princess....you're not getting dick that easy. you'll have to wait until we get home, so until then...hopefully this shuts you up," he whispered, as you felt your release edge closer as you clenched down on his fingers.
"that's it baby, cum now," you heard suguru say, as you felt your release wash over you, making you moan quietly, as you shivered.
he pulled his fingers away from you before bringing them up to his lips to suck them clean. you watched as you suddenly felt empty, making you whine softly.
"I have to go now, make yourself look a bit more presentable and come back soon okay?" suguru said, pulling your dress down before leaning in to peck your cheek.
"you were so good for me, i'll consider rewarding you when we get home," he whispered, winking at you before he was moving you away from the door so he could leave.
"and baby? enough with the flirting, don't think we haven't picked up on that....don't let me find you warming up to yuuji again," he warned, making you smile at him.
"i won't, pinky promise."
-
"oh your back, i thought you went missing," yuuji joked, as you sat in between suguru aand satoru again.
you laughed a little, before reaching forward to grab a glass of water.
the night progressed as the men around you continued to converse about their companies and what both of them could bring to the table if they were to affiliate.
soon it was time for drinks, making your ears perk up as satoru offered to get the drinks for everyone.
"what do you want to drink?" suguru asked you, as his hand on your thigh slowly rubbed circles into your skin.
"champagne is fine," you replied, making him nod before he was walking towards the bar after taking the others order as well.
"so y/n....have you thought about my offer from before?" yuuji asked you, making you crease your eyebrows at him.
"offer....what offer?" you ask innocently, tilting your head to the side a little.
"to come work with me....these two surely can do things without you i mean...they have each other! but my assistant is downright a rookie and pretty useless so...if you're down too, i'd love to have you," yuuji said with a smirk playing on his lips.
"i'll think about it, maybe....what do you think?" you directed the question to satoru, your faux innocent eyes shining at him as you felt his hand grip your thigh tightly.
"sorry yuuji..." satoru trailed off, before his eyes were on the man across him.
"but i can't give away our most trusted employee, she does her job well, so no, we will not be giving her away to you."
yuuji chuckled as his eyes fell to yours
"well isn't that a pity... i was looking forward to appointing you as my personal assistant," he said, extenuating the ‘personal assistant’ using it as some sort of euphemism, before suguru came back with our drinks.
"so...what have we been talking about?" suguru asked, as he handed me my glass of champagne before sitting down.
"yuuji wants me as his assistant, thought it would be fun but satoru thinks i do my job so well," you say, smirking as suguru's eyes darkened.
"is that so? well if you'd like, i can send through a list of capable people who could fill in the role if you're hiring?" suguru asked, as you felt satoru’s hand on your thigh move up higher.
"ah no, i really was joking...but i will comment, you both are very lucky," yuji said with a smile, as you playfully winked at him.
now that, ticked the both of them off completely.
suguru stifled next to you as he eagerly changed the topic, as he soon conversed with yuuji about business, while satoru leaned in to your ear.
"you've really done it now princess, spread your legs," he whispered, his warm breath hitting your cheek as you took another sip of your drink.
"and if i don't?" you dared to ask, as satoru simply smiled at you before leaning in closer.
"spread your legs," he repeated, making you gulp.
you hesitantly spread your legs as you felt satoru's fingers instantly press against your sticky clothed core.
"did suguru make you cum earlier in the bathroom? you're so wet," he whispered as you bit back a whimper.
you answer with a nod, as he scoffed.
"and your still acting bratty? hm..." he trailed off, before you saw a few other men come to join the table.
"suguru?" satoru called out to him, as he turned to look at you both.
"yeah?" he asked, his eyes trailing down to you.
"try to keep her still while you talk," he muttered, as your heartbeat accelerated.
"w-what are you g-going to do?" you stuttered, as satoru smiled at you.
"you want to wink at a man in front of us? then let's show him how much of a whore you are for us in front of him," he chuckled, as you felt suguru's hand grab your thigh tightly before you felt satoru's fingers push your panties to the side, his fingers making direct contact to your heat.
your body jolted instantly, as you tried your hardest not to throw your head back from the delicious contact, and if you thought that was painful, when two of satoru’s fingers plunged inside of you, you knew it was only going to get worse for you.
“stay still, eyes open...more investors have joined now so we'll be conversing more, stay quiet and take what i give you, or you won't like what happens next," satoru spat near your ear, making you nod feverishly.
your eyes flew to yuuji, who was too busy talking to the middle aged man next to him to notice you, as you suddenly took in the fact that everyone around you were too busy to even pay attention to you both.
satoru's fingers stilled in you, making you instantly slump in your seat as you looked towards him. 
he was smiling like a little bitch, so into a conversation with an unfamiliar guy next to him that no one would even think he was doing something so dirty and sinful under the  table.
your eyes darted towards suguru who was looking through an important document, his eyebrows furrowed as his hand was gripping your thigh tightly so your legs were spread enough for satoru to access.
"suguu," you called out, your voice coming out almost in a whine making him look at you.
"what?" he spat irritatedly, making you frown.
"when can we leave?" you whisper, as you heard his jaw clench tightly.
"didn't I warn you earlier not to be a brat?" he shot, his eyes throwing daggers at yours.
"toru won't please me properly, i can't take it anymore," you whine back boldly, as you felt his fingernails dig into the skin of you thigh in anger.
-
"satoru."
"yeah?" he responded, his eyes falling on suguru.
"move your fingers, and give her what I gave you earlier, she doesn't seem to know how to follow orders," he spat, making satoru excitedly nod.
"what?" you ask cluelessly, before you felt the sudden emptiness as Jeonghan withdrew his fingers from your sopping entrance.
maybe you should just behave
"toru wait...i-im sorry i'll stay still from now on," you quickly mumbled, making satoru chuckle lowly.
"ask suguru, you should know he doesn't tolerate your shit but here we are," satoru said, before you felt something hard and long poke your entrance.
a fucking vibrator.
your eyes widen before turning to look at suguru who was listening to a conversation intently, that was until you started tapping his arm.
"suguru n-no.... i-i'll be good I promise, please," you whispered.
"have it on medium setting, we'll see how she takes it," he said, his words obviously being directed to satoru as he completely ignored you.
your heartbeat accelerated as you felt satoru slowlly ease the dildo into your entrance, the cum slick from earlier providing an easy slip as he pushed it right into you, making you grab the table tightly.
knuckles turning white and thighs clamped together, you sat there for what felt like hours with the quiet buzz of the vibrator making you feel as if the entire room was spinning. it was perfect to ease the ache you had, but it wasn't enough to get you to cum, especially since their hands weren't on you anymore.
your head lolled towards satoru, soft pants leaving your pretty glossed lips as your long manicured nails taps against his white dress shirt eagerly.
“hm?" he hummed, glancing at you only for a second.
"i-it's too much...i wanna...c-c–"
"y/n." suguru suddenly called out, making you stop talking.
you turned to looked at him, lips pouty and eyes filled with need as it took suguru his all not to grab you by the hair and fuck you on the table in front of everyone.
which he would eventually get around to doing tonight, but just not now.
"can you go get me another glass of champagne, please?" he asked sweetly, making you shake your head softly.
"i-i can't...g-get up–"
suguru chuckled softly, cutting you off as he leaned in to your ear, his hand on your thigh once again.
"I wasn't really asking, get up and go get me what I asked for, slut," he spat, making you squirm in your seat.
"you're such a dick," you whimper out, before standing up shakily.
with all the strength and self control you could muster, you pushed past satoru before carefully walking towards the bar.
walking around in heels with a fat dildo snuggled in your pussy? this was definitely not how you saw the night going but here you were.
"o-one...g-g champagne," your words slur as the bartender looks at you in concern.
"miss are you okay?" he asks in concern, making you nod feverishly.
"mhm...just get...champagne," you mumble as he nods before pouring a glass on the sparkling liquid.
"here have a glass of water...you look flushed...are you gonna be sick?" he asked.
"no..no...but thanks for the water," you finally say a sentence without stuttering, so you pat yourself on the back mentally.
"no worries miss, please do sit down until you finish your water though," he said, making you hesitantly nod.
you slowly sat down on the barstool, sucking air through your teeth as you felt the vibrator nuzzle into you more.
"would you like anything else?" the bartender asked, giving you a glass of water.
"n-no....i’m good with...with water," your words spoke with a slight slur while you brought the glass up to your lips with shaky fingers.
"are you here alone?" the bartender suddenly asked, as you realized he had been staring at you this entire time.
"n-no i'm...i'm here with a few business people...i'm sorry for stuttering i just don't feel so good," you babbled on, completely unaware of the pair of eyes burning into your back in rage.
"that's completely understandable, you don't need to say sorry but i do think you should go rest," he said, before leaning over the counter to touch your forehead.
"you're burning up miss I don't think you should be drink–"
fuck
"get up we're going home."
you shakily turn around to see an angry suguru standing in front of you, his top two buttons undone as his eyes leave yours briefly to look at the confused bartender in front of you.
"yeah she's had a bit too much to drink," he spat shortly, before grabbing you by the wrist and yanking you off the bar stool.
"suguu careful i'm in heels," you whine out, but he doesn't seem to hear or care as he walks out of the restaurant, his grip on your wrist never faltering.
"w-what about satoru," you hiccup, trying to keep up with suguru’s pace in your painfully high heels.
suddenly you felt the vibrator's speed increase, making you buckle your hips as a moan left your lips, causing suguru to laugh. 
he opened the passenger seat door before practically throwing you in, as you heard the door shut loudly before he got into the driver's seat.
"you've actually done it today princess....you've found numerous ways to push our buttons and now i'm gonna make sure this type of behavior will never be repeated from your end, ever again," he spat.
"sugu… too much," you whine breathlessly, spreading your legs shamelessly as your hands come down to pull the dildo out of you.
"ah, ah...that’s staying in there since you decided to act like such a fucking stuck-up baby today i had to leave an important conversation early and now satoru has to do all the work....why do you think so?" He asked, turning to look at you.
"mm.....i-i don't know," you whimpered, making his eyes darken.
"how many times did i tell you to stop being a brat today, hm? i even went out of my way to please you to get you to shut up...so why did you continue to piss me off in front of everyone? and then when i told you to go get me a drink, i found you shamelessly eye fucking that bartender like a whore," he growled, grabbing your jaw tightly as you whimpered, clenching down on the dildo.
"i w-wasn't–" your words were ripped out of your throat when his hand landed down on your aching pussy harshly.
"don't fucking lie to me, you think i wouldn't notice the way you were talking to him? and the way he wanted to fuck you so bad," he chuckled, as he pulled up your dress so he could eye your soaked underwear.
"take it off, come on."
you bit down on your bottom lip as you came hard almost quietly, your head lolling to the side as soft pants left your mouth.
“ did you just cum?"
"sugu i-im sorry…," you mumble out, grabbing onto his hand for some sort of forgiveness as your lips parted as suguru removed your underwear.
"your being so so disobedient today y/n...why's that? i was talking to you about something and you decided to cum? is that what i've taught you?" he spat lowly, as you watched him bunch your underwear into a ball before pushing it into his pocket.
"m' sorry....c-couldn't help it," you whimper out, tears spilling from your eyes at the overstimulation.
"s-s-uguruuu...the v-vibrator please....too m-much," you hiccup again, as his hand threads through your hair.
"we're alone now baby...that's not my name," he spat into your ear
"although I'm starting to think i should make you call me that in public, so everyone around you including you remember who you belong to."
his voice was ten times deeper than usual, which only made you ten times wetter than you already were.
"would you like that baby?" he asked, his free hand resting on your thigh as you whined.
"take it out p-please," you beg, making suguru sigh. 
"answer my question first doll,” he groaned, his hand in your hair rubbing your scalp slowly.
"no that's embarrassing," you scoff, as he chuckled lowly. 
"why's that? you love disobeying us in public so maybe that will help you remember your place, what do you think?" he asked, eyes narrowing on you as you hesitantly shake your head.
"sugu- daddy no...please," you whine, as you feel his grip on your hair tightens painfully.
"hmm...i'll think about it..now, spread your legs and be good," he spat, making you instantly comply as you wanted nothing more than to have that damn vibrator out of you.
suguru's fingers circled the part of the vibrator that was sticking out of you, causing you to whine as your eyes pleaded with him to remove it from you.
"you want me to take this out baby? too much?" he asked with a faux pout, tilting his head to the side as you nodded eagerly.
"p-please."
"you know what was too much? your attitude with us today, so take what i fucking give you okay princess?" he asked, making you nod your head as he smiled.
"good."
your body jolted suddenly as suguru grabbed the dildo, roughly thrusting it into you as you choked out a moan.
"hold up your dress," he shot, as you whimpered from his rough ministrations, but obeyed.
your shaky fingers moved your long evening dress out of the way, bunching it up to your chest to give suguru a better view.
"sssuguru please slow down, i-i can’t ," you managed to make out, as suguru scoffed.
"you don't make the demands here princess, i do, so why don't you sit here and take it...understand?" he spat, removing the dildo out of you before turning it off.
you breathed out a sigh of relief, your eyes closing only for a second before you felt three of suguru’s thick long fingers push into you without warning.
"fuck suguru....fuck!" you screeched out, your body jolting as his fingers only went rougher at your words.
"what have i said about swearing?" he spat angrily, making you whimper out a weak apology he wasn't going to accept anyways. 
"you use this pretty mouth of yours for all the wrong reasons baby," he added, fingers pinching your bottom lip.
"i-i'm sorry daddy," you whisper meekly, making him hum.
"don't swear again, okay?" 
"o-okay," you whisper back, as his fingers are stilled in you.
"okay what?" he spat as you whined, clenching down on him.
"okay daddy," you muttered quickly before suguru resumed the rough pace he had set for his fingers.
"i'm gonna c-cum daddy," you pant, throwing your head back as suguru pulled on your hair.
"you don't cum until I say so," he drawled, making you shake your head as a smirk played on your lips.
"no."
"no?"
"i want to cum...it's t-too much," you bite back, looking up at suguru’s amused face.
"oh so you're still being a brat?... i'm not satoru baby, you know i won't give you any chances so watch what you say to me," he shot, fingers pulling at your hair making you wince.
"it hurts stop," you whine out, wishing satoru was here to help soothe you like he always did.
every time you did something wrong, it was suguru that would get furious and punish you until dawn, but satoru preferred to teach you in much more gentle ways.
"then learn to behave," he spat, stuffing two more fingers into you before curling them up.
the stretch was incredibly delicious, as your eyes rolled to the back of your head before a long moan left your parted lips.
"daddy please...I need to cum," you desperately whined out, as suguru’s fingers didn’t falter.
"nah, you're not allowed to cum until i tell you to," he spat, all four of his fingers curling in you as you felt the heat rush to your throbbing pussy.
"please i c-can't," you whine, the soft pants and squelching sounds coming from you only urging suguru on as it took all of his self-control not to drag you into his lap and fuck the living daylights out of you until you were reduced to nothing but tears.
before you could even warn him, or yourself, you felt the knot in your stomach snap as you came hard all over his fingers. 
you moaned out in bliss, the feeling taking over your senses as your body spasmed.
"are you fucking serious?" he spat angrily, yanking his fingers out of your soaking entrance with a loud pop.
“i couldn’t help it, you kept pushing it a-and–“
“i’m not gonna take any of your bullshit, you should know that by now. i’m not satoru to listen to your pathetic little excuses,” he growled, pushing his soaked fingers into your mouth roughly, causing you to gag and whimper in pain.
“suck them clean whore,” he spat condescendingly, as you softly suckled on his fingers before he was pulling them out.
“now sit back properly, pull your dress down, and put your seatbelt on, we’re leaving,” he spat, pulling away from you completely as he started the car.
“no i wanna to wait for toru, you’re mean,” you whine out, refusing to put your seatbelt on.
“don’t make me repeat it, y/n….you either put it on yourself or i do it for you,” he growled making you huff.
“can we at least go back in to get dessert? i didn’t get to try the strawberry cake, sugu please,” you whine, holding onto his arm as your tits pressed into him.
he sighed angrily before grabbing your jaw tightly, slightly pushing your cheeks together as his burning eyes bore into yours. 
“tonight was my last fucking nerve. you know i’m not gentle like ‘toru’, so you should’ve realized what you were doing before you acted like a slut, buckle up princess, tonight gonna be a looooong night.

Seeing the ghost face reader just inspired me with something. Imagine shy introverted reader (she's like fluttershy if you watched my little pony) nerdy pouge reader where she is sarah’s bestie who has a massive crush on rafe but doesn't show it but when he starts saying something really bad to Sarah (I don't know what) reader loses it inside since she can't show it so later that night she secretly goes to race room quietly while he's asleep wakes him up by slapping his face hard (he wont mind since he's always found reader hot) reader is secretly a dom as they have hardcore sex
Like A Virgin
Warnings: 18+, smut, unprotected sex(wrap it up), cream pie, overstimulation, chocking, oral (m receiving), (let me know if I missed any)
Wc: 3.2K
A/N: I'm loving all the requests I've been getting! Keep them coming! I'm getting through them as fast as I can, so sorry if it take a while. I also just started my new job so I have to figure out a writing schedule. So please bare with me, I will get to them
“What the fuck Rafe! Why do you always have to start something? He’s my boyfriend, he can be here.” Sarah’s voice echoes through the halls.You had just walked through the back door to get a drink. She had invited the pogues over for a pool day, you’ve all been outside all day. From the moment you had gotten there you could tell something was off.
Sarah was tense and a little short, apologizing straight after and blaming it on being tired. You would believe her if it wasn’t for the dark looming shadow that was Rafe Cameron. He was lurking around, making sly comments, objectifying your’s and Kie’s body. He knew better than to try with Cleo, she would kill him in his sleep in a heartbeat. There was definitely something going on because even if he normally is a dick, he would have quit by now.
You’ve been Sarah’s friend for ages, the only person she never actually tried to push away. It was shocking for everyone because she’s always been out going while you kept to yourself. Instead of making friends you were reading not wanting to be bothered by the other kids. Then one day Sarah came up to you and forced you out of your shell.From then on the two of you were attached by the hip, always together. She never onced judged you for being a pogue even when all her kook friends made fun of you.
They saw you as an easy target. The shy, poor, bookworm pogue who hangs off the kook princess with a vice grip. She would always defend you, telling them off. Even going as far as getting into an argument with Rafe about you. He wasn’t always a dick to you, at first he was even nice? If you could even use that word but when he started to do drugs he became a different person.
You’ve spent countless hours in this house and viewing how the family dynamic works. They sometimes tend to forget that you are there, your quietness hiding you from their view. You’ve seen how Rafe can get, yelling and making a mess of things. How Ward neglects his eldest and youngest for Sarah and so on. The family has a complicated relationship that’s for sure, but you knew something was wrong.
Now you can see what was wrong, it was all of you. “No, I don't want filthy pogues in my house. They are nothing but low lives Sarah. If you want to ruin your life fine but don’t drag the rest of us down.” Rafe’s voice booms over hers. “Ahhhh you are so crazy. You are literally the worst. I just wanted to have a good time with my friends. Why can’t you just be a normal brother for once?” Sarah storms off running into you on her way back outside. 
“Hey did you?” She points behind her and you just nod. “I’m sorry.” You give her a quick hug and she goes back outside. Entering the kitchen you see Rafe texting on his phone leaning on the counter. He looks up at you and rolls his eyes. “What do you want, pogue?”  You ignore the venom that was laced in his words. Doing what you always do, biting your tongue afraid of the confrontation's consequences. “Fucking spit it out, stop being such a baby.” With a deep breath you do.
“Maybe you should try being nicer to people. Sarah’s your sister and you treat her like shit.” Rafe scoffs as you get water from the fridge. “If I wanted advice I wouldn’t go to someone who’s poor. You and your criminal friends are just a waste of space.” He watches as you walk away, looking back to say one last thing today. “Don’t you find it funny how Sarah actually has friends. You’re still hanging out with high schoolers because everyone hates you. Maybe it's time to change and grow up.”
He left you alone after that. The rest of the afternoon was peaceful and filled with fun. At first you were scared of what he would say or do. You expected him to actually run out after you and start yelling. But nothing happened. Sarah had ordered you all pizzas and set up the movies in the living room. Everyone ate and walked as the movies played in the background. As it got later, the sun died, sleeping until it is brought to life once again in the morning. Mostly everyone was asleep, Kie and Sarah chatted and you chimed in time for time. But soon the sounds of Kie’s voice faded and became nothing. 
“Sarah?” The sound of blankets indicates that someone is moving around.”Yeah?” There’s so much you want to say, tell her so she knows you are there for you. But none of them seem good enough. “Are you okay?” You hear a sigh and more shuffling. Sarah plops her pillow and blanket next to you, laying down, she finally answers. “I guess.”
“It must be tough when he acts like that. I’m sorry you don’t deserve this.” Usually you don’t really comment on these things. Rafe is an iffy topic for Sarah. After he tried to kill her, she finds it hard to even look at him. She wants to help him because he’s her brother but at the same time she doesn’t recognize him. You don’t like to pick at the sore wound so you tend to just lend a comforting hand. “It’s always kinda been like this, the drugs just make it worse.” She pauses, taking a deep breath. “I still remember when we were little and I was so scared of a thunderstorm that he held me the whole night. Told me that he would always be there to protect me because he was my big brother, he loved me. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that, I don’t know who he is.”
You hand finds hers over the blankets, squeezing her fingers. “Sometimes people get lost. Some get help and find their way while the others continue on the never ending path. It sucks that you can’t do anything, he won’t let you. If it makes you feel better I think that part of him is still in there somewhere, he just hasn’t had the chance to show it.” 
Her fingers squeeze yours back. “I hope so.” Sarah fell asleep shortly after that conversation, leaving you to lay there and think. You think back to when you were young, Rafe seemed normal then. Sure he had some quirks but what child doesn’t. He would always hold the door for you everywhere you went. Ward would have you tag along on outings since he felt bad seeing your face after Sarah would tell you about something cool they did. There were also moments when he would try to make you smile, the little boy just wanted to make you happy. 
At that time Rafe was okay with having you around, if you twisted it out of him he might even say excited. That didn’t last long because their mother died and with her she took the last last bit of hope he ever had. He never truly felt safe again knowing that the person he loved the most was just gone. The outburst was the first sign he wasn’t okay, yet Ward ignored it. Then it was the violence, once again ignored. Finally the drugs got him the attention he was looking for. All for him to hear what he always knew. “You’re a fucking disappointment Rafe. Knew it from the moment I laid eyes on you.” From then on out the world was dead to him, he only needed to focus on himself. Everyone else is the enemy. 
Sarah’s words keep replaying in your head. Why can’t Rafe see he’s hurting people? You get why he shut you out, even when you were crushed and cried, you understood. But he can’t do it anymore to his own sister. Without thinking your body makes a mistake. It carries you up the stairs and straight into his room. The sounds of the door shutting wakes him up, he rubs his eyes trying to process what woke him. He opens his eyes just in time to see your hand in the air and strikes his cheek with your palm. 
“What the fuck.” He had to take a second to fully realize that you just slapped him. “What is your problem? Can’t you just be nice to people.” He sits up on the bed and you try to push him back down but he catches your hands. “Me be nice? You just walked into my room while I was sleeping just so you could fucking slap me. How about you be nice.” You struggle to get his grip off of you to no avail, he was holding on tight.
“I’ve been nice since the first time I met you. Kept my mouth shut when you did fucked up shit. Stop ruining your life and the life of others.” His eyes are piercing yours, his hold somehow tighter. “Maybe you should keep it shut, I like it better when you aren’t talking.” He pulls you closer, your knee catching you on the bed so you don’t fall. 
He’s staring at your lips, licking his to wet them. You go to argue with him but he cuts you off. “Come on. I bet a filthy pogue like you could think of ways to put it to better use.” One of his hands that was holding yours lowers. He stops once he feels your fingers brush against the bulge that’s forming in his boxers. The ignorant smirk that always bestows his face makes its way back.
Yanking your hand back, you slap him again, the smirk falling. Once again without thinking your body makes mistake two of the night. You kiss him. Pulling on the chain that lays around his neck, smashing your lips to his. Your other arms wrap around his neck, the hand holding the chain twists, closing it slightly. If this was a mistake then you can beg for forgiveness later, absolving your sins can wait. 
He just tasted too good to stop.
His hands go to your waist, pulling you onto his lap. “I knew you had a thing for me.” If this was your childhood you then there would be no room for arguing. The person you are in this moment doesn’t want to admit how true it is. You have seen how bad of a person he’s become and you know you would lose Sarah if she ever found out. “Do you even know how to keep your mouth shut? For once shut the fuck up.”
From the corner of your eye you see his belt laying on the floor in a pile of his clothes from earlier. Leaning over the side of the bed, you grab it and return to your previous position. “What are you doin” You kiss him to stop him from talking further, hands slowly pulling him over his head. The motion of you grinding down on him was enough to distract him from the feeling of the belt wrapping around his wrists and headboard. 
When you pull back and sit on his lap he goes to chase your lips just to be blocked by the fact his hands are tied. “What the fuck. Get these off.” The headboard rattles against the wall as he struggles to break loose. “Take these off right now or else.” Rafe’s tone is threatening but you can’t help but to laugh at the sight in front of you. The guy who’s been terrorizing your friend group is all vulnerable underneath you. “Or else, what? I’ll just leave you like this, maybe even take off the boxers so whoever finds you will realize you got played.” You scoot back to sit on his thighs.
“What do you think about that, huh Rafe? Personally, the idea of Ward finding you like that is hilarious. Better yet I’ll take a picture of you and post it everywhere, let everyone see the mean old Rafe Cameron as nothing else than a pussy.” Your teasing is accompanied by your fingers grazing over the bulge in his boxers. Rafe wants nothing more than to cuss you out right now. Make you regret even thinking that you could get one over on him.
The twitching in his boxers gives him away. He’s enjoying it. The big scary man that has a whole island afraid of him is enjoying the way you talk down on him. “You like that don’t you? You are a pussy, you know that right?” Your hand grips him tight, a whimper forced out of him. “Stop.” The words are weak and a contrast to how his hips are bucking up into your hand. Feeling generous you lower the boxers, taking his dick in your mouth without warning.
Rafe lets out a sigh when he feels the warmth of your mouth wrap around him. He goes to thrust into your mouth and you pull back, hands pushing his hips back down. “Do that again and I’ll leave you here to be found. I’m not kidding Rafe.” He nods at you, wincing as your nails dig into his skin. “Words.”
He looks down at you and can’t recognize who you are. Where has this side of you been hiding? He’s only ever known you as Sarah’s shy best friend. Yet the person in front of him looks like you but doesn’t act like you. “I get it. Fuck when were you like this?” From this view he looks so pretty.
His cheeks are a shade of pink from blushing, eyes wide and mouth hanging open. He looks good enough to fuck. If he took time to see what you were reading he would see that you’ve always been like this. You just never advertised it like he does. “Always have been. Maybe if you were nicer to people you would know that.” His eyes close when you go back to sucking him off. They scrunch up when he isn’t getting the satisfaction he’s looking for. You are barely even sucking.
It’s more as if he’s in your mouth and you are moving up and down on it. There’s no suction or hand to facilitate your movements. Not enough pressure for him to feel good, in fact he just feels frustrated. Your ears perk up when you hear his little groans and whimpers. “What’s wrong? Is it not good?” The words yes are on the tip of his tongue, they died as soon as his eyes met yours. There’s this defiant look in them, as if you want him to tell you somethings wrong. “No no it’s okay. Great”
You give him a smile. “Good boy.” The moans he lets out to your words are chocked on when you actually start to blow him. Rafe is no virgin that’s for sure, but god damn he feels like one right now. This has got to be one of the best blowjobs he’s ever received, scratch that it is the best. “Please.” He sounds pathetic and it makes you speed up. Rafe physically chokes on air from the sudden change, his body convulsing.
He keeps letting out these moans that sound whiny and a mix of pain. The way that he twitches in your mouth just confirms he’s close. Crystal blue eyes open to see why you stopped. Even in the dark his eyes are still beautiful, it’s not fair. Rafe watches as you slip out of your sleep shorts and panties, then you shirt. Leaving you fully exposed since you didn’t wear a bra.
Taking your panties, you crawl up to hover over his lap. He looks up at you ready to ask you to finally fuck him but you took him by surprise by shoving your panties in his mouth. “Hold this for me baby. Maybe that will finally shut you up.” The two of you stare into the others eyes as you sink down on him. Just from sucking him off you were soaked so he easily slid in. It was a good thing you muffled him. The moan he let out was so loud that it could still be heard, you had to cover his mouth just to stop the sound.
“God you act like a fucking virgin. Thought you were the kook king who could get anyone he wanted.” Rafe’s head was pinning, everything you are doing is making him so confused. He’s usually the one fucking, even when the girls on top he controls everything. Having you come in here and just fuck him as if he’s there for you is mind fucking. When he’s pictured this exact moment it was with you under him, screaming and clawing at his back as he fucked the shit out of you.
This is not how your first time should have gone. It’s the wrong way around yet it felt amazing.
Sweat is forming on your skin, the moonlight reflecting off of it. Your body is on overdrive, bouncing up and down. There is a tingle in your lower abdomen, a sign of your impending orgasim. As the feeling slowly crocendos, your body leans forward. You place the hand that was covering his mouth on his throat. The squeeze of your hand has his eyes rolling to the back of his head.
He’s so close to cumming, can feel it running from his fingertips to his arms that you have tied. He practically cries when you finally cum, your walls pulsating around him, triggering his own orgasim. You let go of his throat, wiping the tears from his eyes and shushing him. “It’s okay. You did so good.” He sobs around your panties, sucking the fabric lightly to ground himself. The way you keep slowly bouncing is killing him, he’s ready to pass out from the sensation. 
Looking down to see where the two of you were connected was his first mistake of the night. The sight alone sent him into another smaller orgasim, his body thrashing from the overstimulation. You pull yourself up and fall down next to him. After a few minutes of not talking to catch your breaths, Rafe tries to speak. Looking over at him you can see he’s staring at you, leaning up you take your panties out of his mouth and slip them back on.
“Are you going to untie me now?” You smile at him and give him a short kiss. Getting up you gather your clothes and put them on. “This isn’t funny untie me or I’ll tell everyone you fucked me.” You walk over to the side of the bed he occupied, leaning to grab the belt holding his arms. Dipping your head to his ears you whisper to him. “Really think anyone would believe you?”
You move back watching his face drop when you walk further towards the door. “Think of this as payback for all my years of silence.” You shrug and open the door. “I’ll get you back for this.” With one last look at him you smirked.
“I hope so.”

I believe unconditionally in a free Palestine, and am aware that one of the creators of TLOU is a zionist. i do not support this and strongly encourage anyone reading this to engage with the link below!
how you can help Palestine
-
There’s a clicker snapping and snarling above you. You bring your arms up to keep it away from your face as you try to shove it off. Joel won't take the shot, you think, not when there’s a risk of hitting you.
With a final push of adrenaline, you manage to kick it up so it’s further off you. You scream out for Joel then, strangled.
“Fuck- Joel!"
The rippling bang of a gunshot pierces the air.
The thing on top of you goes slack, features still contorted in a gruesome snarl. You shove it off and scramble away, standing up as soon as you’ve put enough distance between you. Silence returns to the forest.
When you look up, you don’t find the relieved looks you’re expecting from either of your companions. Joel is looking at you, horror painted across his features as he stares at your arm.
You follow his gaze down.
Blood is leaking out of a clear bite mark just above your wrist. Your shirt and skin are shredded where the things teeth ripped into you. Red coats your hand, dripping thickly onto the ground.
Your legs go weak at the sight.
"Shit- shit, Y/N-" Ellie is panicking. She’s closer by, arms reaching out for you. You take a half step back, unwilling to let her get nearer, and her head snaps up. "It got you."
You all know what this means. It’s a death sentence. A promise that even if you’re not dead now, you will be very soon.
You look at Ellie with a wobbly smile that you know won't do much to placate her panic. She looks like she might cry and behind her, Joel has gone rigid - eyes wide, hands in tight fists by his sides. You don't know what's worse.
"It's alright, Ellie, sweetheart," you focus on trying to calm the girl down first. “It's okay. It's alright. You have to leave me here."
Before Ellie can retort, Joel stiffens.
"No- no." He collects himself, rolling his shoulders slowly as if to shake off the stupor. “That is out of the question.”
You think to yourself that denial looks devastating on him.
"Joel," his name is a broken supplication on your lips. "You need to take Ellie and get back to Jackson. She needs to be safe."
It’s low, reminding him of how dangerous the world is in an effort to make him focus, but Joel cares about keeping you and Ellie safe above anything else. Reiterating that he can’t protect everyone might hurt him, but it’ll keep them both alive long enough to forgive you.
You're shaking, you realise then. Tremors wracking your body as the adrenaline of the fight dissipates and leaves horror in it's wake. You glance at the bite again and a low wounded noise escapes you.
Joel steps forward, arms reaching out to comfort you instinctively, and you take two back, doing your best to avoid the hurt that flashes in his eyes. His voice is ragged when he next speaks, and Joel Miller has never been one to beg, but right now he’s sounding awfully close.
“Let us stay with you."
“The bite is in your arm, right?" Ellie regards you carefully. "You still have a few hours left. We can keep you company."
Shaking your head, you step further away.
"I don't want you to see me turn into one of those things."
“We’ll kill you before you get to that point.”
Ellie speaks matter of factly, but you don’t miss the way her hands flit anxiously at her sides. She’s tough, your girl, but you and Joel both know her tells better than you know yourselves. Behind all the snark and self assuredness, she’s a kid. You wont force her to watch another person she cares about succumb to cordyceps.
“Ellie,” you try to reason. “I don't want you to see me like that.”
You turn to Joel, expecting agreement, but he’s wiped his face clear of any emotion, inscrutable - you cant read him at all. He's putting his walls up, brick by brick in an attempt to hide how he feels. You don't blame him - you think you'd do the same were your roles reversed.
“We’ll stay with you, Y/N.” His runs a tired hand over his beard. “No infected or people 'round here for miles. We can set up camp. When the time comes...”
He trails off, like he can't bring himself to say the words.
And that's that.
-
Night falls.
Joel ties you up to a tree as a safety precaution, grunting a soft apology when he pulls the rope across your chest too tight and you wince.
Despite your protests, he bandages the bite, careful motions and gentle hands. He thumbs over it when he’s finished, more out of habit than reassurance. You doubt he even realises.
Ellie tries to crack some jokes, doing her best to alleviate the mood. You offer her a halfhearted smile in return but you can tell she's not convinced by it.
It all feels overwhelmingly pointless. Joel will have to kill you soon, and if he can’t, you’ll do it yourself. He's only delaying the inevitable by keeping you alive. When you try to tell him so - try to make it clear that he's just putting himself and Ellie in danger - the man’s shoulders go tight and he turns away from you.
You don't try to dissuade him again.
Now, Ellie is reading her comic by the gas lamp, eyes flickering to you every so often. You twist your body away from her as much as you can and stare into the dark of the woods. You don't want to risk her seeing you get sick. You want her to remember you healthy, smiling - not overcome by the infection.
Joel comes over to you with your water flask in hand and you shake your head. You shouldn't use up resources when you'll be dead soon. When you tell him as much, the man bites his lip but stays quiet. He doesn’t question you though - water is a valuable resource. He knows that just as well as you do.
"Shoot me the moment I start to turn." You murmur, quietly so that Ellie won’t hear you. Joel looks down at you, ashen. Some of the barriers that he’s put up since you were bitten fall away - you see glimpses of the Joel you know inside.
He’s afraid. Devastated. Doing his hardest to keep it together for you and Ellie.
"Y/N-"
"Promise me, Joel. Promise me you'll shoot me."
He swears it, and the words hang stagnant in the air between you.
You thank him before turning away again, raising your voice a little so that Ellie can hear you too when you next speak.
"Goodnight."
I love you both so much. I'm so honoured I got to love you. I'm sorry we didn't get more time. Keep eachother safe. I love you. I love you. I love you. I'm sorry.
It's easier than saying goodbye.
-
You wake with a start to the feeling of someone tapping your cheek.
It’s still dark, the gas lamp casting long and shifting shadows on the small clearing where you've set up camp, but all you can think about is the fact that someone is touching you.
Flinching back with a gasp, you snatch your bitten arm to your chest. Your eyes take a moment to adjust to what's around you.
Ellie and Joel are kneeling by your side, the latter's hands raised as to not spook you. You blink up at them, not understanding. When Joel tries to get closer, you curl in on yourself, the back of your head clipping against the tree and causing you to wince.
"It's alright,” Joel’s saying. “The infection didn't take. You're alright."
You can barely understand him past the rushing in your ears, still focused on the lingering feeling of his rough fingertips on your face.
"Why would you- Fuck, Joel. I'm fucking infected! Why would you touch me? " You're panicking, gasping between words. All you can think of is that Joel touched you and he could get infected too now and Ellie will be alone if you both get sick. She'll have to kill you both.
Joel looks like he wants to get closer, but when he tries, you make yourself as small as possible- knees up against your chest.
"Please, Joel- I don't want to hurt you."
The man shakes his head but doesn't try to come closer again. "You won't. You won't."
"You're still alright, Y/N," Ellie is kneeling on the other side of you. She picks up your injured arm and tugs off the bandage before you can stop her. "Look," she urges. "The infection hasn't taken."
Sure enough, the bite mark is still there, - angry and red and crusted with blood, but there aren’t any purpling veins expanding from it. No greenish hue indicating infection.
This is a trick, you think then. A cruel trick your mind is playing on you in your last moments of clarity. A sick manifestation of your survival instinct begging you to not lose hope.
“You’re not feverish,” Ellie continues. “You’re not coughing or vomiting.”
When you look back at Joel, he looks so convinced - more hopeful than you've ever seen him in the time you've known each other. Nothing else has ever given him that expression. Not the Firefly's promises of revolution, not the prospect of a cure. Joel Miller's thought processes have always been grounded in reality - stoic, stony, calculating.
But right now it looks more like those of the countless QZ kids who get drawn into the Firefly's ranks every year on promises of a better future. You want him to snap out of it. Want to remind him that idealism can only bring trouble- he taught you that.
"The infection hasn't taken yet, Y/N." Ellie is still speaking, small hands gripping yours. "It should have by now. You're still alright. Maybe you're immune like me."
You fight the urge to believe her. "Maybe it's just taking longer to spread.”
"And why the fuck would it do that?" Joel snaps at you, breathing in deep when you flinch at his tone. He runs a hand through his greying hair.
"I'm sorry, I’m sorry. I just- think about it, darlin'," the pet name he usually only reserves for the moments you're alone slips out. "Ellie is right. It should have spread by now. It's been hours."
And you are thinking about it, you are, but you also don't want to hold onto foolish hopes. The likelihood of you and Ellie both being immune feels unfathomable.
“Don’t give me this, Joel,” you say, quiet.
“Don’t give you what? Hope?”
“You promised you’d shoot me!”
Your voice rises, and you realise then how hysterical you sound. Joel’s hand moves to his chest, like it’s physically hurting him to hear you speak like this.
“I promised I’d shoot you when the infection set in. It hasn’t.” His tone is clipped, even, but his expression is anything but.
“So you’re telling me that you’re going to be able to look me in the eyes and put a bullet through my eyes when it does? After you’ve worked yourself up into the idea that I might fucking survive this?”
Surprisingly, Ellie is the most level headed, interceding between the two of you.
She speaks quietly, evenly. “We should just wait a bit more.”
You try to intercede but she stops you.
“No, Y/N. You’re tied up and you’re not getting sick right now. We should wait a few more hours.”
“Ellie-"
“I won’t lose someone else if I don’t have to.”
Your shoulders sag under the weight of what she's saying. Ellie leaves no room for argument. She wraps a clean bandage around your wound and brushes her thumb over it the same way Joel did last night. They’re so alike without even realising it. You tell yourself that at least they’ll have eachother when you’re gone.
A tentative voice whispers inside your head;
If you’re gone.
-
By the evening of the next day, nothing has changed.
Joel and Ellie have barely left your side, the former only disappearing into the woods for a half hour before returning with a few dead rabbits.
"You should try eat something.”
You don’t have an appetite. Haven’t since you were bitten, but Joel and Ellie keep looking at you like you’ll keel over if you don’t eat, so once he’s skinned and cooked the meant, you take what is given to you.
Your companions seem to have taken this new change in their stride, Ellie especially has come to terms with the idea of you possibly being immune very rapidly, but it’s a lot to wrap your head around. You flinch away whenever they get too close, and when Joel tries to untie you, you don’t let him.
“Y/N.”
“Please don’t.”
He swallows hard but nods.
That night you fall asleep still tied up against the tree. You’re woken by nightmares of rotting flesh.
You don’t shut your eyes again after that.
-
It takes three more days for you to let Joel touch you.
You let him untie you on the second because you’re painfully aware that your little group needs to keep moving. You’re unsure about whether you’re still heading for the Fireflies or if Joel has changed route and is taking you all back to Jackson, but you keep your distance either way, choosing to walk a few meters behind them at all times. You keep talking to a minimum, too overwhelmed and exhausted to say anything. Between the two of them, they make up for your lack of sound. Ellie chatters a lot anyway, and Joel answers all her questions, humouring her every joke. He’s filling in gaps that you’d usually contribute in you realise. Sometimes, their voices even drown out the noise in your head. It’s a pleasant distraction.
The next time you set up camp, Ellie goes straight to sleep. Something in her seems to have relaxed since you haven’t become infected. Joel is sat nearby, having offered to take first watch. His features soften when he doesn't think anyone’s looking. A small smile tugging at his lips as Ellie snorts and mumbles something in her sleep.
When he notices you staring, he offers you a tired smile.
“You should get some rest, sweetheart.”
Nodding, you get into your sleeping bag. You’re still not sure what to say and do, but if Joel thinks anything of your apparent immunity, he hasn’t shown it. He’s probably trying to let you rationalise and make peace with what’s happened on your own before he or Ellie give their input.
You try to sleep, you really do. But every sound the forest makes has you flinching, peering into the darkness, shifting in your sleeping bag restlessly.
You don't know if it's the overwhelming stress of the last few days, or the exhaustion, or something else entirely, but once you've started to cry, you can't stop. You try valiantly to smother the sound by clamping your hand over you mouth, but Joel has always been far too attentive for your liking. When the second sob leaves you, you hear him walk over. He stops in front of you, taking in your form (curled up in your sleeping bag, hand pressed against your lips, tears streaming down your face) and a small breath escapes him.
"Oh, my girl."
Before you can apologise, Joel is crouching down in front of you.
"Can I hold you?" His palms are up, open. He doesn’t mean any harm. He won’t hurt you, he never has. More importantly, you won’t hurt him.
Part of you wants to say no - still not used to the idea of being immune - but his proximity makes your skin sting and ache for contact, you're hurting almost with the absence of touch. After days of sitting so far away from Joel and Ellie with nothing but your jacket around you, you give in to him.
"Please."
It's all it takes. One minute Joel is still staring at you like he doesn't want to scare you off, and the next, he's pulling you firmly to his chest, sleeping bag and all.
He smells like pine. Feels like safety. When he presses his lips to the crown of your head, your sobbing intensifies.
"That's it, honey. Let it out. You're safe."
His arms are crowding you, but it doesn't feel stifling. It feels like coming home.
You shudder in his hold. “I’m scared, Joel. I was really fucking scared.”
“I know, baby” he coos - softer than you’ve ever heard him. “S’okay. It’s been a scary few days, hm?”
Another great sob cracks through you and you nod as Joel’s large hand moves up over your back to cup your head carefully. He holds you like a babe, like you’re something worth saving, and if he's afraid of the fact that you were bitten, he doesn't show it.
“It’s alright, honey. You’re safe. I’m gonna keep us all safe.”
He rocks back and forth gently with you clasped to his chest.
"It was killin' me, y'know? Not bein' able to hold you. Comfort you.”
"I'm sorry."
"You don't gotta be sorry, sweetheart. Just know that we got you." He smatters more gentle kisses along your hairline. "Me, you, and Ellie. We're a team."
You nod, because you are a team. You have been for months now. You trust them to keep you safe.
“What are we- What ‘re we gonna do, Joel? The bite…”
Joel shushes you easily, shaking his head.
“That’s a problem for tomorrow. We’ll face it when the morning comes.”
You sink into his chest further, nodding.
“Thank you.”
Joel pulls away ever so slightly to look you in the eyes properly.
“Don’t gotta thank me, honey. Don’t ever gotta thank me for anything at all.”
You fall asleep like that; held to his chest like something worth protecting. That night, no nightmares come.

Molly I need your input here, maybe I’m too dumb but and stressing over nothing but, I keep asking myself, WHY IS ANTHONY IN (What I asume are) HIS NIGHTCLOTHES AND KATE FULLY DRESSED?? I just don’t get it? Does he not work at all anymore? Does his full time job now is being available 24/7 for the viscountess for when the mood strikes, for when she has the time?? Was Ben such an excellent right hand man that he has now time to disrobe and take naps in the middle of the day? Don’t get me wrong, I love it for him but, it was really weird to me, I full expected them to meet in their bedchambers and lounge together in their free (albeit short) time but, isn’t it out of character for him to be in regency lounge wear in the middle of the day??
Tumblr media
So I think if you look in the wider shots here it’s clear that he’s still wearing his trousers and his shirt he’s just stripped off. Maybe he’s going out and he needed to change and instead he’s found Kate in their rooms and dragged her over to the bed. Maybe he found her already resting after their trip from Aubrey Hall to London.
I think it just shows how far Anthony’s come that he doesn’t feel the need to be busy every second of the day to avoid thinking about everything else. He’s capable of and even happiest when he’s sitting with Kate not doing anything.
It’s in fact my personal headcanon that Anthony is only partly dressed because Kate was copping a feel of her hot husband.

I didn't realized I haven't posted it before
Ghost of fries and hero of cookies art!!!
aka how I figured out Dani's Hoopoe costume design and some chibis (with my mediocre marker skills)
"Ghost of fries and hero of cookies" is a cute and fluffy fic I wrote about Dani going to Gotham and accidentally became Signal's sidekick. Here is tumblr link. Here is AO3
Anyway, let's get to the art
Photos may be poor quality, my scanner did shitty job, and I tried to fix it up a bit in Ibis Paint, but there is only so much I could do
Hoopoe with hoopoe, to get you hooked up :)
Tumblr media
This is finished design, so now we can get to the journey there. Some drawings will be just Dani because, yes, she threw on a cape, but I still needed to know how she looked like underneath.
And in the love of Gods, I was not going to put a child in the crop top.
Or at least I changed that when it hit me that I can... just do that. I can redesign her. Anyway, chronologically:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
As you can see, in the beginning, both her cape and her mask had some more interesting designs that I got rid of. Not because I don't like it, I still think it's pretty cute, but! Mask got simplified because I realized that Bats keep their masks pretty simple in color, and she got her mask from Duke, so it needed to be simpler. Just... let's say that the one with a bit more fun stuff going on was her original paper mask, and she was pouting up a storm when Signal gave her such boring mask in exchange. THE ABSOLUTE BETRAYAL!
And the cape got more boring because it's literally a blanket. I don't think she could get a blanket with this specific pattern. But for a funny bit that I thought out when it was too late, The Pin that holds her cape together is either something like "I ❤️ Central City" or Flash merch. I highly encourage you to suggest to me what it could look like
Anyway, then came actual figuring out of her actual costume
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't know what to tell about this part, to be honest. Maybe I would vibe better with the first one if I kept green parts one shade instead of... 4 or 5. Second one just isn't it at all, though I could probably give her belt back at some point. Third one was pretty close but this 》 shape on her torso just felt weird, so I just simplified it to the straight line in the fourth, which is the final. The elbow protection there was literally spur of the moment idea when I looked at the figure drawing and decided "I like the elbow shapes. Let's keep them" and I kept them.
Anyway, this is other shot of finished Hoopoe!Dani, with better view of her costume:
Tumblr media
And chibis! Chilling on the roof with Signal and eating fries like good lil gremlin ghosts oath to do:
Tumblr media
I'm frankly really proud of the chibis because for the life of me, I usually cannot draw them without feeling that their faces went through a hydraulic press or at least met a wall at really high speed.
That's all for today

Grant me freedom and I’ll set us both free
Hangster. ~2.5k. Explicit. AU for the "Angels/Demons", "Sex Magic", "Succubus/Incubus", "Power Imbalance" and "Sex Pollen" squares... although the last two are not really massive players in the fic.
                “Who died and made you my jailer?”
                “Fortunately no one had to die. Unfortunately I’m still your jailer.”
…            …            …
                “What are you doing here?”
                “Drinking in the ambience. What do you think I’m doing?” Jake snaps, and he shifts against the wall of the brothel, because it’s not perfect or ideal by any stretch of the imagination, but it does in a pinch. It’ll sate him enough to feed more later.
                He needs to find a way that he can simply gain energy without seeking it out. He’s smart. He can figure something out.
                He really hopes he can, he’s not sure if he’ll survive otherwise.
…            …            …
                Turns out humans are horny and repressed and also willing to try anything. He doesn’t starve to death in his first few months topside, but it’s a near thing. Getting a job at the brothel to help keep the ladies safe definitely helps.
…            …            …
                He sees Bradley watching him occasionally. Keeping a distance where he can sense what Jake is doing, but not close enough that he has to interact with Jake at all, or even talk to him. He tries to not care about it.
…            …            …
                He’d thought getting into pornography would be a sure thing, but it turns out there’s even more fake orgasms here than there are in a 18th century brothel. He helps it along a little and while he never features in any of the films he definitely has his favorites.
…            …            …
                Jake twirls his fork and raises an eyebrow at Bradley as he sits down opposite him in the very upmarket restaurant that Jake had arranged to meet his newest client. It’s been a while since Bradley has checked in on him and he’d sort of wondered if maybe he’d been forgotten about. Wasn’t sure how to feel about the possibility.
                “Bradley. Always a pleasure…”
                “Mmm. At least you don’t cause mass orgies.”
                Jake blinks. Thinks that he actually has, although no one would have known it was him.
                “I’m sure I could,” Jake says instead. “If I tried my hand at it. Want to be invited?”
                “No! I’m just trying to do my job,” Bradley sighs, looking tired. “You’re making it…”
                Jake waits for a word, something, anything, that indicates how Bradley feels about being Jake’s morality compass for five-hundred years.
                “Difficult. Your making it difficult.”
                “You know what they say…”
                “No, what do they say?”
                “Can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen…”
                “We’re no-where near a kitchen…”
                “It’s a metaphor. Humans use them.”
                “You’re spending too much time around them.”
                “And I’d argue you aren’t spending enough. It’d help remove that stick out of your ass. I mean, I’d offer to put something else in there… it’d definitely help relax you.”
                “Is that another metaphor?”
                “No. Seems like it’s a fact. You know what? You’re so polite. I give you permission to just tell me to fuck off. Or you could fuck me. I’m versatile like that. Or I can just sit there and watch… all the same to me.”
                “I’m leaving.”
                “Well, I sure do enjoy watching that too!” Jake calls after him and when Bradley flips him a single finger he guesses he’s been spending some time around humans.
                He won’t tell Bradley it was the wrong finger.
…            …            …
                “Your dried jizz ground together with Viagra isn’t safe!”
                “Hey! Viagra has been cleared by the FDA!”
                He half expects Bradley to ask what the FDA is, because while it’s not been as long as before, it’s still been a couple of decades. He knows time works different elsewhere.
                “I was talking about your jizz!”
                “All organic baby!”
                “Oh! You’re impossible!”
                “I’m just giving the people what they want,” Jake states.
                “And what they want is your jizz?”
                “Yeah. Why? Jealous?”
                “In your dreams.”
…            …            …
                He’s surprised when he sees Bradley again less than a week later, watching him from across the park where he’s walking his dog. Jake likes dogs. They don’t judge or cast him between heaven and hell for things he had no control over.
                “Bradley. What are you doing here?”
                “You have an… animal.”
                Jake looks down at the little dog and raises an eyebrow.
                “Yes. He’s a hellhound in disguise. Absolutely vicious, killer instincts. Can I help you?”
                “He seems like a normal dog.”
                “He is a normal dog.”
                “Oh. Why?”
                “Why what?” Jake snaps, although he suspects he knows the question coming next.
                “Why do you have a dog?”
                “I don’t have to answer that. You can tell how I’ve been using my powers, how I’ve been staying alive. I’ve been here for… what? Four hundred years now? Another one hundred and I’ll have finished my sentence. I do not need to tell you why I have a dog.”
                “You’re not going to hurt it are you?”
                His eyes flash with fire and Bradley takes a step back. Jake hasn’t felt this angry in a long time.
                “Okay. I’ll take that as a no. Alright. Sorry.”
…            …            …
                He’d tried, in the early days, to make friends. Except they’d died. He hadn’t aged, although he’s learnt to mimic that process now. But it had taken him a couple of centuries before he just gave up on caring about individual humans. It hadn’t helped of course, there were still sneaky ones that wormed themselves into his life somehow, but he’d at least tried to protect himself from having to watch them all die one after the other. Dogs have shorter lifespans and it’s even harder, but he’s starting to go a little mad without the companionship. That is why he has his dog, and his cat. Because talking to himself is crazy, but by human standards talking to his dog and cat is perfectly normal.
…            …            …
                “You can’t just blink out of existence! You’re meant to be keeping a low profile!”
                “Pfft. They aren’t paying any attention to me. And what are they going to do? Send me to hell? Too late.��
                Bradley stares at him.
                “You seem to like it here though.”
                Jake looks at him in disbelief.
                “I miss my friends. I haven’t been in my natural form for so long I think I’ve forgotten how to change. I can’t feed properly for fear of killing one of the precious humans,” he spits, because it’s not the humans he really has an issue with. He doesn’t think he would be able to change anymore, wouldn’t have the energy reserves, but some days his skin itches, just wants to stretch out and extend himself to his full height.
                “You want to feed? Properly?”
                Jake snorts, because of course he does. But also answering honestly might damn him to another century here. He’s not stupid to admit to it. His mouth is what got him in trouble the first time round.
                “Why? Are you offering?”
                “Maybe.”
                Jake was about to say something, something mean or sarcastic but he closes his mouth.
                Blinks.
                “Uh.”
                “This is just a human wrapping, you wouldn’t actually hurt me…”
                “Are you serious?” Jake asks, because he doesn’t want to get his hopes up but the idea, of giving and getting sexual pleasure from Bradley’s body is heady after four hundred years of just being close enough to scent, occasionally taste the remnants, but never been touching, not for so long… To now be offered everything? Even if it’s a trap he finds he doesn’t care, just the idea of it is making him feel suddenly desperate.
                “Yes.”
                He’d blinked to his apartment, right into his bedroom, and of course Bradley is standing there, having simply just followed him. For the first time in four-hundred years though Bradley is in a space Jake considers his, not a public park, or outside a brothel, or in a restaurant. This is his space and he feels a little raw at having someone else here. Then Bradley is unbuttoning his shirt and Jake realizes he’s very serious, pulls at his own shirt before realizing he doesn’t have buttons and can just pull it over his head.
                The downside of this is that he loses sight of Bradley for the briefest of seconds, but then his t-shirt is off and he can see Bradley working his pants down. He has to give it to him, he’s definitely chosen a good looking body to walk around in. He strips off the remainder of his clothes, eyes not leaving Bradley’s, because he can disappear in the blink of an eye if he wishes to and Jake wouldn’t put it past him to have this be some vicious prank.
                “Lie back. I want to suck you off.”
                “Oh. Okay.”
                Jake pauses then, a little surprised at the easy acquiescence. Bradley always uses the same body, even if he has managed to keep up with the changes to fashion he’s also had the ability for people just to see what they imagine they see. Like Jake, but more powerful. It wouldn’t have been much point giving him a jailer that was somehow weaker than him. He wonders briefly if Bradley could get in trouble for what they’re about to do. He doesn’t care. Bradley is lying in the center of the bed, naked, watching Jake like he’s a puzzle he wants to solve. Jake shifts, runs his hands down Bradley’s chest and watches as his nipple pebble up into harder peaks.
                “You ever done this before?”
                “Of course I have.”
                “I mean in a human body. They’re a bit different.”
                “Not that different.”
                “Your funeral,” Jake murmurs, because the effect he has on human bodies is one he enjoys and if Bradley is willing to let him have both that and the knowledge that his actions won’t hurt anyone…
                “You said you wouldn’t kill me…”
                “I won’t,” Jake says with a smirk.
                He hasn’t given a blowjob in hundreds of years but it’s exactly like he remembers, the feeling of power washing through him as he feels Bradley give in to the pleasure and allows Jake to touch him everywhere. He lets himself savor Bradley’s skin, kisses and licks the delicate skin of his inner thighs, the thinner skin as its stretched over his jutting hip bones, then as he sucks the engorged head of Bradley’s cock into his mouth and feels smug as Bradley lets out a surprised shout. He reaches up with a hand and tweaks at one of Bradley’s nipples, grins around the mouthful of cock as Bradley’s entire body spasms under him and he does it again, feels his body jolt again, this time accompanied by a whine.
                He concentrates briefly and then he has lube coated fingers and he feels a curl of awakening power in his belly at the fact he still has that ability. He’s been living as a human for too long, conserving his energy, but now he’s got Bradley laid out in front of him like a feast in front of a starving man and he is going to eat his full. And then go back for seconds and thirds. He runs a finger between the crease of Bradley’s ass cheeks, uses his shoulders to spread his thighs further, although Bradley is shifting, giving him more room to work and he runs his lubed fingers over and around the tight entrance, not pushing, just stroking while he sucks his cock.
                His gazes up the length of Bradley’s body, takes in the arm flung across his eyes, the lip being bitten hard between his teeth, the muscles in his arm, neck and chest flexing as if he’s trying to fight or control the pleasure he’s experiencing. Jake grins again, a little meanly this time. Then he sends a pulse of his own pleasure through every place he’s touching and watches as Bradley arches off the bed, he can’t see Bradley’s face anymore, but he can hear his scream of pleasure and he sucks it in greedily.
                He doesn’t know if Bradley is conscious of the way his body is moving now, trying to thrust his cock into Jake’s mouth, pushing his ass against the tip of his finger and Jake can work with this. Redoubles the speed of the sucking, his head bobbing as he thinks about the action being magnified on every single nerve ending in Bradley’s cock, the same sucking bobbing heat of his mouth with no purpose but to bring pleasure. He hears Bradley make another broken whimpering sob, body quivering, like it’s too much and Jake lays an arm across his pelvis to hold him in place, can sense Bradley’s orgasm curling and building and breaths it in through his nose.
                He could drag this out for hours, bring Bradley to the edge over and over and deny him his release. Play with him and take in his pleasure, the pleasure that Jake is giving him, make him forget everything else. He won’t die from not eating or drinking like an actual human would. Except he doesn’t want to do that, wants Bradley to come and enjoy himself and maybe, he hopes, let Jake do this again. He pushes his finger in slowly, sucks Bradley down and swallows around his cock, throat muscles clenching and he sends a pulse of intense pleasure again and it does exactly what he thought it would. Bradley comes with another scream.
                The head rush from Bradley’s orgasm leaves him reeling, and he pulls back, the human habit of breathing making him do it without thinking, followed by his body  then jerking and he’s coming himself without conscious thought and he laughs a little, guesses having blue balls for four hundred years allows him a little leeway about coming so fast. He knows his hands on Bradley’s skin will be creating a feedback loop of pleasure, can feel the echo of his own pleasure coming back to him and it leaves him feeling hazy. He’s missed this. Basks in the heady scents of arousal and sex and completion that were all of his own making for once.
                “Is it always like that?”
                “Ah. Sort of. Not quite that… level,” Jake admits.
                “Is it sometimes better?”
                “Yeah. Sometimes,” Jake murmurs.
                “Show me?”
                “My pleasure.”
                “Mine too I hope.”
                “Of course.”

Thanks for doing these! I keep thinking about Mingi (Ateez) and how he’d shoot his shot at a crush lol so maybe Charlie, Last Name Wilson by Charlie Wilson
Tumblr media
okay so this song gave me some strong sexy daddy billionaire CEO vibes but i kept it cute! haha i think mingi would be bold but come off as super playful when he likes someone hehe
He always found it hard to become close to people. It’s not like he distances himself on purpose, but being the newly inherited CEO of a multi-billion dollar company has left him with no choice but to close himself off in order to protect everything he’s worked so hard for. He’s grown so paranoid at letting someone in due to there being a chance someone could take advantage of him, so he’s ignored every advance to get close to him.
That is, until he just so happens to run into you. He usually doesn’t take a day off from the office. The life of a CEO is quite busy and burdensome, but he just wasn’t feeling it when he decided to skip his suit and slacks and instead head to the park for a morning walk. The sun was bright, the humidity at a minimum, and he was feeling a bit more energized than normal as he put on his favorite jogging song and got lost in his own world.
Unfortunately for him, you were also out that morning with a very hyper golden lab that decided to jump on him the moment your paths crossed.
“I’m so sorry.” Now, you’re apologizing to him and he’s wiping muddy paw prints from his t-shirt. Just a toe bean outline here and there… not too bad. However, you’re feeling the heat of embarrassment as you cover your mouth with one hand and hold the leash with an iron grip to stop her from jumping again. “She usually doesn’t get so excited with strangers. I’m so sorry! That like… never happens. Lilith! What is wrong with you today?” 
“Maybe it’s because you named her Lilith.” You look up to notice his smirk on your lips. The warmth of embarrassment settled just a bit. “But, I don’t know…” He shrugs with a full blown smile now, and you can’t help but to return a grin his way. 
“I’m sorry again,” you sigh, looking down at Lilith before turning back to him. “She’s usually really well=behaved. I mean, she might try to sniff a butt once in a while but she never jumps on people.”
This has him laughing. A genuine laugh that he hasn’t even heard himself in so long. Not with a new job title with perks such as having to restructure an entire company, long meetings where everyone just keeps repeating the same things, and endless overtime hours. He can’t remember the last time he’s laughed at something and actually found it funny. 
“It’s alright,” he assures you.
“Are you new around here?” you ask, wondering why this is the first time you’ve ever seen him during your walks with Lilith when you take her out every day. 
“Ah, no,” he replies, rubbing the back of his neck. “Just don’t get out much, I guess.”
“Well, you should!” You’re beaming at him, thankful this stranger isn’t screaming at you over the situation. “This is the prettiest thing this city has to offer. I come here every morning with Lilith just because it’s the only place I feel like I can breathe sometimes.”
He stares at you, taking in your words. A beat passes in silence, wondering if you possibly made things awkward, but then he’s smiling again. 
“I think I will.” 
“Good,” is all you can say, before getting the bright idea to finally tell him your name. He responds with his own, taking your hand in his for a polite introduction, and Lilith begins to whine between the two of you. He laughs, reaching down to give her some scratches on her head, which she happily accepts. 
“See you tomorrow,” is all he says, winking before jogging off, placing an earbud back in his ear. 
He meets you in nearly the same spot the following morning. Though, this time Lilith doesn’t get a chance to jump on him since he’s crouched and prepared for her. She runs into his arms, and he begins to scratch around her ears.
“How’s the scenery treating you?” you ask with a giggle, watching the two. She’s usually not so excited about strangers, but you guess he isn’t a stranger anymore. 
“Perfect now,” he says, looking up at you from his position crouched before Lilith. “I like it.”
Heat floods your cheeks. “I’m happy to see you back here.” 
“Me too,” he says, grinning. “I see what you mean about being able to breathe when you’re here.”
“Right?” You’re laughing and he’s smiling while finally pulling away from Lilith to stand straight. “It’s good for everyone to get out once in a while and enjoy the fresh air and scenery. Clear your head. Decide on a tough life decision. You know… the usual.”
He’s laughing again, which makes your heart race. 
“Sorry, I ramble sometimes,” you say with a hesitant shrug.
“It’s okay, I like that, too.” Now you can’t hide your grin at his words. “Do you want to, maybe, walk with me?”
Your heart nearly stops at the offer. A cute guy you just so happened to run into at the park now wants to spend his morning walking with you? Yes, please.
“Of course.”
So the two of you walk, and talk, and try to get to know each other. Not like he has much experience in this department. He’s much better at keeping people away and brushing off potential relationships. Luckily for him, you’re excellent at small talk, getting to know people, and apologizing when your dog jumps on them. 
So you lead the conversation, asking him how long he’s lived in the city, what he does for fun, his current favorite TV show, all the way down to his childhood best friend. That topic was an accident that you stumbled upon, but you decide you love hearing him talk. And he has, apparently, a lot to say when asked the right questions.
Maybe he doesn’t have many people to talk to, you think. The thought makes your heart swell. 
“What about you?” he asks when the discussion has switched from favorite 80s movie soundtracks to what dessert is the best midnight treat.
“Eh, I’m not much of a sweet person. I’m more of a savory kind of person.”
“You seem sweet enough to me.”
Your stomach does backflips at the words. Your teeth sink into your bottom lip, heart racing, tempted to pinch yourself to make sure this is real. He’s clearly into you. It gives you a little confidence boost to grow bold.
“Thank you for walking with Lilith and me.” Your steps begin to slow before the three of you stop walking altogether. “It’s nice to have company. Well, company that can actually talk back to me.”
He laughs. “It is nice, isn’t it?” His smile fades, but he doesn’t look away from you. “Thank you for talking to me. I can’t remember the last time I had a conversation that wasn’t about finance departments or the next big deal.”
Giggling, you finally become too shy to meet his eyes. “Well, whatever it is you do for work, I’m sure it can’t be more important than discussing 80s movies and cheesecake, so if you ever need someone to talk to, you know where to find me.”
He smiles to his eyes with a simple nod. “See you tomorrow?”
You bite your lip and grin. “See you tomorrow.”

Let me know if I missed anything in the tags <3
Word Count: 2626
Summary: Simon retires from the SAS, taking on a job for a well known real estate tycoon's daughter, serving as her sole protector until her father can find a suitable man to sell marry her off to. Yet, instead of protecting her from outside dangers, he's finding the biggest danger is herself. Simon is determined to help you escape this life that was pre-ordained for you, and cure you of your disease. Addiction.
Tumblr media
After nearly three decades spent in the military, Simon never expected to find himself here. Stuck in a contractual agreement, protecting and ensuring the safety and well-being of a bratty young woman with a wealthy family. It was almost insulting to him, had it not been for the hefty sum of money the woman's father wired to his bank account every week.
There were a few moments he'd almost made the rash decision to quit his job completely, and allow the someone else to look after this bitchy damsel.
But there was something that kept him here, keeping a protective eye on you and a firm hand at the small of your back in crowded rooms.
Beneath all the glitz and glam, partying and binge drinking, and the drugs... Simon saw you for what you were when you were at your lowest points.
A young girl who was forced into a lonely life of luxury. A girl who lost her mother too young and wasn't sure how to cope. A girl who yearned for her father's attention while he consumed himself in work, social gatherings, and public appearances. A girl who closed herself off from the world and kept everyone at arm's length so the venomous bite of abandonment would be less impactful when those people inevitably left her. A young girl who drowned her liver in alcohol while snorting enough blow to potentially kill her every weekend.
Simon knew you needed consistency in your life with substance. He'd watched his younger brother go through this plenty, repeating a vicious cycle of pain and torment for a fleeting moment with the impostor of joy in powder form.
He also knew you resembled that of a caged bird. Lonely, isolated, and detached from the rest of the world while you awaited either your death or an arranged marriage that would benefit your father's company, and potentially cushion his pockets a tad more.
As you emerged from the master suite of the penthouse, Simon heaved a resigned sigh, seeing you dolled up for the night ahead. Luxurious, private parties and public appearances to keep your name relevant in the tabloids and medias.
He leaned against the kitchen island, large arms crossed in his black button down, rich, honey-colored eyes fixated on you, and his signature black, surgical mask in place.
"Eat. You're not going out on an empty stomach." His deep, thick accented voice demanded. He nodded towards the plate on the counter, filled with chicken risotto with truffle sauce.
You scoffed in response to his authoritative tone before obeying anyways and climbing onto the bar stool, realizing it's probably best not to piss off your body guard.
"Where's it from?" You asked in a bland tone.
"Your kitchen." he answered gruffly as he poured an electrolyte packet into a bottle of water and set it beside your plate.
"Didn't know they taught ya to cook up truffle sauce in the military," you teased in that snarky tone he felt deep hatred for. Your metaphorical mask was going up early tonight.
"It's so cute how hard you work to save me from myself every weekend, big guy. Doesn't it get tiring?" You goaded before working at the small, yet filling dish before you.
Simon ignored your attempts to rile him up, knowing good and well you were fishing for a reason to indulge in your vices tonight. If you went out in a bad mood, it was all the more reason for you to fill your nose with booger sugar, and what better way to elevate yourself than starting it in a piss-poor mood, so your high will be that much better?
"Eat." Is all he replied with, leaving no room for questions or arguments.
Tumblr media
As the night progressed, Simon kept a watchful eye on you, taking in your every move, expression, and breath while diligently scanning your surroundings to ensure your safety.
He watched as you finished another glass of champagne that was easily worth three months rent for his studio loft downtown.
You were pleasantly buzzed as you floated about the mansion, like you owned it, being the perfect little socialite you learned to be. Simon's dark, brooding presence loomed behind you, keeping you within at least three arm's lengths at all times.
"Going to the loo," you informed Simon as you spun on the toe of your red bottoms, heels clicking against the marble floor as you sashayed in the direction of the restroom.
You didn't even have to cast a glance over your shoulder to know Simon was already following behind you, keeping his eyes dutifully trained on you and your immediate surroundings.
Once outside the bathroom, Simon knocked on the door before entering and doing a sweep of the room before allowing you to enter.
You rolled your eyes at his precautious measures as he shut the door behind you. After clicking the lock in place, you promptly relieved yourself before standing at the vanity to wash your hands, reapply your red lipstick, then pull a little pick-me-up from your clutch.
Using the compact mirror, you pulled a tampon case from your clutch, producing a small baggie of white powder from within it, and emptied the contents of the baggie onto the mirrored surface as it sat on the vanity. You shook the small tampon case to receive a small straw, then used one of your many credit cards to neatly align the powder in a straight line.
Holding a finger to your left nostril, you plugged it and inserted the end of the straw into the right nostril, hovering over the powder as you inhaled with a strong pull from your nose and lungs.
The powder irritates your nose momentarily, causing it to scrunch and sniffle as the tingles pulse through your nasal passage. Bitterness coated your taste buds as the powder dripped down the back of your throat, earning a cringe from you as you shook your head, coughing slightly to aid the phlegm in easing down your esophagus.
You promptly cleaned up and did a final once over in the mirror, adamant not to stare too long and avoid your flaws. Clammy palms idly smooth over the material of your dress, trying to ensure you look your best, and avoid the nagging feeling at the back of your mind. Your darker-self trying to rear her ugly head and steal your fleeting moments of joy, and stir up the insufferable concoction of anxiety.
Finally, you emerged from the bathroom to be greeted with the sight of Simon stood with his back to the door, his large palm clasped firmly over his wrist.
He wasn't stupid. He knew exactly what you were doing in the bathroom. Had it only been a quick stop, it would've been three minutes tops. But when you did your pick-me-ups, it took seven minutes.
He shouldn't know that, yet considering you're a relatively well-known public figure, he has to time every second you're not in his line of sight.
Simon stepped to the side, allowing you to exit the bathroom. His dark eyes gave a disapproving look as he surveyed your appearance.
"You've got a bit of sugar on your dress." He informed you, glancing down at the skirt of your black cocktail dress.
Your eyes hurriedly followed his, searching for the spot and swiping your hand over the material, earning an amused glint to flash in his normal unreadable eyes.
You groaned in annoyance once it became apparent he was messing with you, your hand quickly came up to slap his arm in defiance.
"Arse," you muttered under your breath. Simon's stoic demeanor momentarily gave way to show off a glimpse of underlying smugness.
Tumblr media
Simon couldn't deny that you were a good looking woman, and he always found it hard to tear his gaze away from you, especially when you were a magnet for people. You had the natural ability to draw people in, even with your resting-bitch-face. Somehow, someway, everyone gravitated toward you.
It was very much the opposite of himself, all jagged edges, harsh lines with the repellent of a rabid Rottweiler. He found it fascinating on a personal level, but on a professional level, he loathed it.
He hated how people thought they could touch you, or be within three feet of you, or even the way they looked at you.
All he saw was greed, manipulation, and control. He was certain that you saw it too; he could see the faint flicker of disgust in your eyes when someone tried to cozy up to you for their own gain.
A part of Simon's heart ached to see your life full of so many people, yet none of them truly gave a shit about you. But he also knew you did it strategically, much like he had done for most of his life. Although, Simon's was done more coldly, you had a certain finesse about it. You held a sense of attainability, allowing people in just enough to keep control of, but never in deep enough for them to control you.
Behind the rich, spoiled brat, Simon marveled at the true strength and cunning you showed within this materialistic world. He could see the fox within you, calculating and sly as she was, planning her escape.
But the escape plan is what scared him. He heard every conversation you had with yourself, when you thought no one was listening.
You longed for a life without a name. Where you could fly under the radar, only keeping close to you those who truly cared. And as much as he tried to remain detached. He was concerned that one day, you'd find a remedy for that desire.. and take flight for the heavens.
Simon watched vigilantly over you as you remained perched on the outdoor couch with your group of girlfriends. His eyes never left you as your friend slipped a pill between your soft, red lips and did the tactless act of spitting her drink in your mouth to aid you in ingesting the pill.
Fuckin' hell, love. You need better friends.
He sighed inwardly, but heaved a quiet breath as he kept watch, wanting to shake his head in disappointment. But he knew you could feel his disapproving gaze prickling at your muted senses.
Your head dipped back in pleasure as your friend kissed down your neck, across your collarbones and back up to your lips. Half-lidded eyes remained trained on Simon as he stood within your sight, your eyes appreciatively raked over his form, taking in the way his muscles strained against the black fabric of his black button-down, and the way his slacks fit his tree-trunk legs perfectly.
He was a delicious sight and you were feeling ravenous, silently lusting over the man assigned to guard your life. The only man who gave a single shit about you.
Simon internally groaned, his hand clenching into fists behind his back as he watched the scene unfold before him. If he wasn't on duty right now, he'd be fucking you within an inch of your life, and make you pray to a merciless God. Himself.
You pulled yourself up from the couch on slightly unsteady legs, and sauntered over to him, only stopping in front of him once your hands were on his chest.
Simon gazed into your dilated pupils, already noticing the effects of your meeting with your little friend, Molly.
"Wanna go home," you demanded, pouting up at him.
"So soon? You looked like you were having a bit of fun." He replied in a neutral tone, keeping his aloof and disinterested persona in place.
"It's boring here," you whined, "wanna have fun. At home. With you."
"Mm, you wound me, bird. Here I thought you knew not to associate me in the same sentence as fun." He scoffed lightly, trying to keep the inflection of amusement from his tone.
He reached a large, callused hand to rest on the small of your back, acting as a stabilizer for your current state. Tingles ran up your spine as every nerve-ending desperately sought out the rest of his warm touch, igniting hot flames of desire along your spine, and pulsing directly to your rapidly slickening cunt from your heightened state.
Tumblr media
Simon watched you closely once you were back in the safety of your home. He gauged you as you stripped off your dress carelessly, leaving it discarded on the floor, much like you had done with your heels the moment you were off the lift earlier.
He sighed as he watched you prance around the room topless, going about your business in your flimsy g-string.
"It's too bloody hot in this damn house," you whined as you adjusted the thermostat.
Your body swayed on unsteady legs, your skin glistened with intense perspiration. A wave of dizziness struck you, forcing you to lean against the wall momentarily while your heart rate soared, soft, frantic breaths escaped your lips while your vision blurred in a not so fun way.
Simon's eyes narrowed with concern before he immediately recognized your symptoms, having realized what would force this reaction out of you.
"How many lines did you do tonight?" Simon asked in a firm tone, scooping you up in his arms effortlessly, then rushed you into the bathroom.
He helped you kneel before the toilet, gathering your hair in one hand so you wouldn't have to focus on much.
"T-three," you panted out, feeling waves of nausea swell and your stomach to roil.
You retched into the toilet, firmly grasping the edges in a white-knuckle grip.
"And you only took one pill. Molly, right?" he asked with concern, gently rubbing his large palm at the center of your shoulder blades.
"Yeah," you croaked weakly before lowering your head again.
Simon grunted in frustration, yet remained vigilantly at your side, helping you through your sickness.
After a while, the vomiting finally ceased as he gently cleaned you up and propped your back against the bathtub. He quickly grabbed a washcloth and a disposable cup for mouth wash before handing it to you.
"Swish and spit in the cup, bird," he instructed while pressing the cold washcloth to your forehead, then moved it to the nape of your neck, trying to quickly cool your body down from the sudden onslaught of heat exhaustion.
You did as Simon instructed before handing it to him to dispose of. Your eyelids were hardly able to stay open, your body felt weak as if each limb was weighed down by imaginary anchors, and your skin felt like it was on fire.
Simon returned with a thermometer in hand, taking your temperature.
102 degrees.
"Fuckin' hell, bird." he murmured gruffly.
With quick efficiency, Simon collected you in his arms again, carrying you out to the oversized sectional in the living room.
You were already drifting in and out of consciousness, finding new items surrounding you each time you opened your eyes.
Simon worriedly administered an IV, a bin was placed beside the couch, cool washcloths littered across your body.
"What's all this?" you slurred nearly unintelligibly.
"Hyperthermia. Just rest. Let me take care of you," he answered in a softer tone than ever before, and had your body not been fighting for it's life, you might have caught the worry in his eyes and concern and care in his deep voice.
For several hours, Simon remained by your side, using a dropper to dispense electrolytes on your tongue, checking your temperature every hour, and gently running his fingers through your hair while you slept on the couch.
"M' gonna get you fixed up, bird... don't wanna see you like this anymore," he whispered in devotion, and pressed a tender kiss on your forehead.

had an odd dream that i was reading a comic book. sketched a couple of the pages i could remember.
Tumblr media
#i might adapt this into an actual story because i am SO SO SO mad that it isn't a thing i can go back to reading#oc#im definitely keeping the concept of save-bot i fucking love save-bot he's just doing his best. i love a robot who wants to help people#im not equipped to be writing about underground rebellions with any sense of real tact though#besides its in a superhero universe/story so you know it would just be so sucks lol#sketch#god the colors were so interesting. the teal parts were all very precisely crosshatched and the fire was this gorgeous brush pen looking#colored inks that just seemed like they were MOVING#and i mean some of that was because i was dreaming but god even in my halfhearted copy you can see some of the movement#it was a bad scene but a really really REALLY fun dream. i love when a book can *get* to me so i was really enjoying it#put it aside so i could take a break and woke up. instant fury at the universe for not having it be a real book instead#ill reblog with details if anyone's curious. i can explain this scene but i dont feel like it#the green people are in a secret basement though. hiding from the government. blue jacket guy is a speedster robot named save-bot who does#rescue stuff with every fire department so fire suppression technology is not very good because save-bot "can just save you''#however they're badly over their legal occupancy and the secret basement has One (1) exit so everyone is like really fucked here.#includinig save-bot who is going to do his job until he dies because he is an ai without any sense of self preservation and he cares#which i didn't even CATCH until i woke up and started tryin to frantically note everything down#and then i was like wait. the glitter on that last page before i realized i needed a glass of water to keep reading... what WAS that...#(it was tears suspended in midair because save-bot goes so fast and also knows he's so fucked LOL)#seriously i'm so mad someone else didn't make this.

heres my one page thesis on why hinomori mafuyu real
#back on this again. apologizes but the newest event hit me across the face#they found her in a wet cardboard box all alone…#also all of l/n call her babygirl its just that mafuyu only knows this from kanade who in turn has only heard honami say it#anyways heres my thoughts on the hinomoris and why they should get to keep mafuyu#uh.#so everyone knows how mafuyu has the mask she puts on yea. but i dont really see people mention how shiho and shizuku. also have that#in different but still similar ways#with shizuku putting on a perfect act where shes always smiling for her idol job and as to not worry her friends and shiho#while shiho puts on her act of not caring and pushing everyone way so they dont have to deal with her or the people who target her#so as we can see here. they both put on a mask and are self sacrificial about it for the sake of others#mafuyu does that too but instead of doing it for her friends and those that actually care about her. she does it for her mom who does not#idk. anyways something something these three have a similar way of dealing with things by bottling it up until they no longer feel it#do you get me#do you understand what im on about#if not idk i might be making it all up i havent had a chance to watch all of the events and ive been kind of skipping around on them#like watching the newer ones first which is probably not the best idea#okay im done now i just want others to see the vision and do my work for me#project sekai#mafuyu asahina#shiho hinomori#shizuku hinomori#oh last thing. shiho and shizuku absolutely beat up asahina its what they all deserve#asahina mother i mean. not mafuyu. they beat each other up in the losing at card games way while they beat up asahina mom with a steel chair

god. sometimes i really hate those "10 jobs that you can do WITHOUT a qualification that pay over 100k" and they list something like "human resource management" 130k a year!!! when like. EVERY fucking HR job (and other jobs like this, say like librarian- something that i PAID 17k for and burnt out for in postgrad lmao) strictly DEMAND that candidates must have 1-2 years experience AND an HR DEGREE.
very, very, very, very rarely i see something in HR requiring a TAFE (aussie technical college) certificate (ie MUCH cheaper- 7k) or a diploma in HR. it's almost always a degree, barely EVER "no quals or equivalent experience or similar quals"... even for entry level jobs in hr or most defs management positions.

#dang it do i have a new oc now
Sounds like!! I'd love to hear more if you've got it!
(referring to my tags on this post)
You will meet a stranger, sometimes, if you make a habit to frequent taverns, inns, halls for game, or even the one tree where the young Bracegirdle cousins sneak off to play marbles. Well, you will like as not meet many strangers, except in the last case, but this one will be different. Or perhaps you get lucky, and don't frequent such places, but find yourself in one unexpectedly, and meet them regardless.
Everyone in Gondor knows someone who knows someone who met Lady Luck, no one has met her themself. If you do, starry-eyed romantics say, you'll be blessed with good fortune for all your days. The pragmatists tell you you'll be blessed with the good sense to discern a scam.
He may smirk at you after winning a bet, some dark-haired man, using his earnings to buy a round for the bar. It's always a different man, but it always goes to Alwed's tab. It keeps the crowd from getting too rowdy, even if the more superstitious get on edge.
No one remembers meeting them the first time, but dwarves with common sense avoid Audr's shell games and silver-toothed smile- you always win, but it's never worth it.
A woman with greying-gold hair and stiff fingers might call herself Eadrun, and challenge you to a game of dice. Few decline, and far fewer win.
For as few elves remain in Middle Earth, the one who calls himself Herendil and laughs as though his name is a joke should be recognizable. He seems young and lighthearted in a way most have lost, but he will play you cards, win just as much as he loses, and disappear, never recognized.
A hobbit-lass may giggle, red curls gleaming in the sun, and introduce herself as Peony Sandheaver, her family is visiting from Bree, and she wants to see how Shire-hobbits play Jacks.
Sometimes an orc prays over a set of knucklebones, knowing that at least one god will hear one prayer. Orcs have little luck in battle, but uncanny luck with dice.
There are countless stories, just as many true as not. Countless names, far more unnamed figures, always just out of place enough wherever they are to be interesting and promise new tales, never enough to provoke suspicion, not at first.
Even those in the Blessed Realm may find this dark-eyed stranger. Always dark-eyed, like bottles of dark glass. They stop by Aulë's workshop on occasion, to learn and suggest and play new games. They never win the first round, but most have the sense not to bet anything they aren't willing to lose on the second.
Oromë's people call them Umbarnica with a laugh and a toast in welcome. They thrive in the drunken revels after a successful hunt, sharp as ever as they dance from game to game, cackling at ill-advised propositions offered as collateral for or against a bet. Usually this means them winning to avoid it, a frequent enough occurrence as-is, but every now and then they'll decide to let someone get lucky. The bragging rights are the real reward.
And there are no guarantees with this stranger. No way to ensure their favor, though many ways to get their attention, few good. They like irony, take pleasure in hubris reaching its fall. They love superstition, even if they don't always honor it, and they love stories. There are gods that can be mistaken for kind, they are not one of them, created to serve the king the Dark Lord could have been. Their favorites are fickle, their grudges subtle but long-held. They love cheaters, unless they're at the end of the attempt. They will always catch you, and you will always regret it. They slink through candle-shadows and pipe-smoke, grinning, dance in town squares turned to faire grounds, curl up on comfy chairs indoors on rainy days.
But sometimes, in these days, you won't meet a stranger at all. Sometimes your storyteller will get a bright-dark glint in their eyes, and some dice will roll strangely high and some dice will roll strangely low and either way the story will be better for it. And if the next time the group meets you need to take a moment to remind the storyteller exactly what happened last session, well. That's why you take notes.
So pray to the dice-god, card-master, quick-sighted. It might do you no good, but they love superstition, and they love stories. And when you play a dark-eyed stranger, don't cheat at cards.
#ask#cuarthol#umbarnica#my writing#my ocs#they play favorites with the orcs because they feel like they have bad enough luck as is so they throw them some bones#and they like the Narrative of it all#i had fun writing this#they're very amoral not in the sense of being Evil and Bad they just. don't have morals.#they're kinda like a trickster god i think. and they like underdogs but not as much as people think#in my headcanon a lot of powerful maiar were intended to serve melkor before he went all evil but not all of them also went evil#and that leaves a very interesting crack for them to fall through because they just don't really. fit. anywhere#my arien is also a case of this (sibling of the balrogs)#and ultimately the deciding factor in turning evil is mostly if they are able to find support and a purpose with people who care about them#even if they still don't quite fit in#so umbarnica is also a case of this but instead of arien who found her niche by following the formula as closely as possible#(find a vala- take a role under her doing something directly related- oh whoops Fate called so i'm going to be a good maia and do my duty)#(if i don't do everything right i'm going to go insane and then go evil. please for the love of eru let me just do my valar-damned job)#umbarnica went 'yeah you can't tell me what to do. if you try to keep me stuck here in aman i will go insane and then go evil.'#'is that what you want? no? then let me cause nice low level chaos and fun wherever i want and i'll stay out of your hair'#i think they like dnd a lot for the sheer novelty of it#a lot of their domain is gambling or adjacent so to have a game of chance that seeks to tell stories and build community is intriguing#namo is probably the one who has official jurisdiction over them? but mostly in the sense that fate and luck are tied up#he does the bare minimum to make sure they don't get out of hand. neither *likes* this arrangement but they're content with it by now#but yes i'm gonna be calling them umbarnica#is that their name? sure as much as anything can be.#i just thought that 'little doom' would be a really funny euphamism tbh
