Hi im back☺️☺️ can i request prompt 2 with (who would have guessed) chuuya? I just couldnt resist after that last smut like HOLY shit i reread it every morning😭 Take your time and remember to stay hydrated💛
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛ; 02 : Brat taming
sᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ; Chuuya has been pretty busy lately, and his needy girlfriend is being bratty abt it. This leads up to him taking you against the table. <3
ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢs; mean!dom!Chuuya, sub!bratty!fem!reader, fucking on a table with Chuuya, degrading kink (f!recieving), ooc!Chuuya (ig), slight spanking, kinda fingering, petnames (such as slut, baby, whore, etc.), porn without *any* plot, basically me in heat /j, etc.
ɴᴏᴛᴇs; This is a draft bcs i can. So take this while i have to take a break, i just suffer from major daddy issues right now lol. Also, this was from my new year event, enjoy! ( 5-6 months later; felt horny for Chuuya so take this while i prepare myself for a exam!!)
Tumblr media
“Such a fuckin' brat for attention, huh?”, Chuuya tsked at you.
He had such a stressful day, just to come home to you whining and annoying him further.
Chuuya just needed to somehow ‘relief’ all that stress!
“I’m s-sorry, Chuuya!”, you said just for him to spank you.
“I don’t wanna hear it.”, he hissed.
You were being spanked on the table, bent over of course, while still having your panties on.
All his spanks just kept you wet for him.
Even though you still had some undergarments on, you could tell there was gonna be a slight hand print.
“Now, bend over for me, just where i can see you perfectly, understood?”, Chuuya commanded you, with a slightly strict tone.
Not wanting to piss him off more, you just bent over as far as you could, just how he wanted.
Waiting for his next move, you felt him rip off your panties.
But those were your favorite!
“C-Chuuya! Those were my favorites?!”, you felt his hand wrap around your neck from behind, it wasn’t too harsh, but it wasn’t very soft too.
“I can always buy you more. Now, do you want me to fuck you or do you want me to just leave you like that?”, he whispered into your ear, sneakily having his gloveless fingers tease your wet pussy.
This made you even more desperate for him, even wetting his fingers with more of your slick.
“You don’t want me to leave you so wet for me, do you? It would be such a shame, y’know?”, now he was just teasing you. For what even? To beg? As if!
“N-no..p-please, fuck me, Chuuya.. I-i need you!”, he felt a small smirk creep up his lips.
“What was that? Was it my slut begging for me to fuck her brains out?”, Chuuya never disappointed with his dirty talk, did he?
He knows what he’s doing, he just wants to frustrate you!
But it’s fair, afterall all your whining got you here..
“J-just do it already..”, you weakly said, starting to grow impatient.
“I know you can beg more nicely than that, baby.”, Chuuya denied you even further.
“C-come on, p-please, Chuuya..stop t-teasing me, I’m r-really sorry!”, you could feel yourself on the edge of desperate tears.
“Awe, my poor princess is about to cry, isn’t she? Well, if you want it, who am i to deny you?”, finally, he was gonna take you!
“But since you’ve been such a brat, i won’t go easy on you..”, i don’t care, just fuck me like the whore i am!
You heard Chuuya take off his belt, feeling relief washing over you.
When he removed his boxers, you felt him entering. Since he’s not that cruel, he’s gonna wait a few seconds before pushing in completely.
It was finally time, he started to thrust into you, just like he said before, not particularly soft..
His pace was fast and rough, which was amazing, but kinda overwhelming, but you asked for this.
“Consider me nice enough to even fuck you like this..”, Chuuya said while ruthlessly fucking you into oblivion.
“F-fuck! F-feels so good..”, you chanted, obviously already cock drunk.
“You’re already so drunk of my cock, aren’t you? Fucking slut.”, yes, it was mean, but it was just the truth!
Honestly, nobody should blame you.
You slowly felt your high approach, feeling your knot build up.
You felt Chuuya’s hitched breathing and whimpers against your ears, while he was holding your tits.
“Fuck, ‘m so fuckin’ close..”, you were getting pretty close too.
“Tell me, who’s fuckin’ slut are you?”, you better still have the ability to answer this question.
“Y-yours! I’m your slut, only you fuck me like this..”, you answered, slurring these words.
“Damn right, nobody can slut you out like i can, understood?”
Tumblr media
Something just snapped guys.

hi bff i still desperately need to reread & watch thg but i love your writing sm so i needed to leave something anyway ,,, could you do something with nonbinary!reader coming out to johanna ? maybe it starts out angsty but gets more fluffy :3
point of no return - j.m.
Tumblr media
summary: You come out to Johanna as nonbinary but some people overhear.
pairings: johanna mason x nonbinary!reader
warnings: transphobia, racism, hurt/comfort
authors note: i didnt specify the slur for obvious reasons, but if anyone has any concerns feel free to pm me.
request: yes
Tumblr media
Johanna has noticed your odd behavior, it’s like you’re hiding something. You were hiding something but you didn’t know how to tell your girlfriend that you feel sick everytime someone calls you a “girl”.
You sigh as you set down your things in the training room. You massage your temples trying to will away the stress headache.
You feel arms wrap around you, and you smile a bit. “There’s my favorite girl.” You blanch and have to swallow the bile in your throat, your tense in her arms and she of course notices.
“What’s wrong?” Johanna asks hesitantly. You shake your head and wriggle yourself out of her arms. You go back to pick up the ax—but you’re stopped by a familiar hand and frustrated face.
“What the hell is wrong with you? Why won’t you tell me why you’re acting this way?!” She bellows out, uncaring for the eyes that look your way.
“Fucking hell, Johanna, you don’t need to scream.” You say, utterly calm. This only proves to provoke her further, demanding to know what’s wrong.
“Are you cheating on me? Is that it?” Your head snaps up immediately at her small voice, and you shake it vigorously. God what have you done?
“No, i’d never cheat on you!” You reply, desperation slipping into your brown eyes. Johanna blows a breath out of her nose.
“Then what is it?! Do you not love me? Is it me? What did I-” You cut her off of her ramble.
“I’m not a girl! I’m not a boy. I’m not... anything.” Your voice gets quieter as you say the last words. Johanna’s face crumbles in realization. You are non-binary.
You search her expression for any mean glares, anything that points to her hating you… but you find nothing, only love. “Of course that freak had to get even freakier! You are a girl, sweetheart, you’ll always be one.” A gruff voice taunts you.
“If you weren’t a [slur], I would’ve definitely had some fun with you.” The man smirks and your expression hardens, the blatant racism and transphobia is enough to spiral you off the edge.
Before Johanna could take the honours of punching the guy, you find yourself giving him a good right hook.
You don’t stop there though, grabbing the butt of your ax handle you slam it into his chest, over and over and over again. “You fucking! You transphobic racist motherfucker!” You scream, but suddenly someone pulling you off of him. You wriggle in their arms trying to get out and beat the shit out of that man more.
You see Katniss, your best friend yelling at the man promising to get him fired and punished. You sag with relief and realize you’ve been in Johanna’s arms.
“Jo?” You call out quietly, she is immediately turning you around so she’s facing the love of her life.
“I’m sorry,” You murmur. “I should have told you.” Johanna shakes her head and leans down to kiss your lips. You smile into the kiss, your eyes fluttering close and your hands wrapping around her waist.
“There’s nothing for you to be sorry for, my love.” You beam at her and she laughs loving your smile even if you hated it.
“Katniss will get that guy fired, I know she will.” You smirk at Johanna’s reassurance. “Well I got in a few good hits anyway.” At that your girlfriend laughs, her blue-green eyes staring longingly into your dark brown ones.
From then on, Johanna used your preferred pronouns and always asked what compliments you preferred before saying it. She began correcting anyone who misgendered you and you both kicked anyones ass who was mean to you.

|Two| It’s Over Now
Tumblr media
There are plenty of things I need to be doing, going over the quizzes from one of the three psych classes I taught, following up with three judges about cases I had updates for, and so on and so forth. Yet, here I was rereading the same four words that were sent to my phone earlier this week: Try with somebody else. Jamila Cortez was an enigma that I was drawn to which kind of unnerved me. When was the last time I actively wanted to get to know a new person? For the last few years I had been content within my bubble that consisted of what I thought was a happy relationship, building connections in the educator world, and increasing the distance from my checkered past. Keeping my head down, focusing on my goals served me well until it didn’t, and that bubble popped.
Apparently, the approach I took to reshaping my life caused my ex-girlfriend Mariah, of the last four years, to abandon all of the plans we made for the future. She claimed I wasn’t the same and I hurled the same accusation back. Now I was single for the first time and free from that bubble. I had spent these last few months trying to submerge myself back into the world, catching up with friends that I neglected in favor of hers, and trying experiences that actually interested me. It felt like I was discovering myself again, going through yet another transition, although I had no idea what the end result would be. My previous transitions were brought on by intrinsic motivations, this one? Was extrinsic by all intents and purposes, so I was riding the wave and seeing where it took me. It kept crashing into Jamila.
With me being one of the ten supervisors that worked for the non-profit Helping Hand I met all kinds of people. HH was designed to give people who have had minor brushes with the law a chance to give back to society by cleaning up and volunteering around the community. Along with my job as a professor, it gave me the chance to use the clinical psychology degree I spent four years getting. I loved social work, being on the ground, and getting to know people. My love and genuine care for others was another point of contention between Mariah and I. She didn’t like the way I always had to engage in conversation but it was a quality that served me well in my profession. I was able to see things in people that most would overlook. In Jamila I saw a sadness so profoundly deep I’m sure she didn’t even know how far down it reached and it reminded me of my own cemented over well of sorrows.
It became a goal of mine to strike up conversations with her because something told me her story would be interesting and I could learn from it. That girl was tough as nails though because she had no patience for me. I’ve been trying to think up a response that would adequately do but can’t seem to grasp how. My skills worked better in person I was starting to note. Right as I began to put my phone down, it began to vibrate, and flash with Mariah’s number. Taking a deep breath, I answer.
“Yeah?” I don’t have time or the space to give her pleasantries she does not deserve.
“Hey Xav, I uh, have quite a few of your things here. Are you coming to get them?” she asks in the airy tone I used to adore but now found quite grating.
“What things Mariah? Clothes?” I asked, trying to remember what I’ve left over her new home over the past year.
“Clothes, products, workout stuff,” she lists with a sigh like I was the one inconveniencing her. It seemed that our whole relationship had been one big inconvenience to her in hindsight. “Things like that. So what do you want me to do with them?”
There was no way I was getting on a plane for what was probably less than five hundred dollars worth of belongings. “Donate them or trash them. It’s whatever Mariah.”
“You don’t have to be like this. I was hoping that-
“That what? That we could be friends? After the shit you pulled?” I questioned, mindful not to raise my voice since I was in one of the adjunct offices at the university. There were six in a row in this wing of the floor and the walls weren’t the thickest. I didn’t need to disturb my colleagues with this drama. “What exactly were you hoping for?” 
“I tried to talk to you before any of this happened! You were always too busy helping this convict or that student. You were ignoring me,” she shrieks.
“So it’s my fault you fucked someone else? That’s a new one,” I chuckle dryly though I am not amused. It’s been three months since we last talked, I should have known this call was about to be some bullshit.
“I made my mistakes but so have you. You aren’t perfect either Xavier,” she said.
“And I never painted myself to be Mariah but I was loyal. Cheating isn’t a mistake, it’s a choice, and you still can’t stand on the choice you made. That’s unfortunate but that has nothing to do with me,” I said.
“Wow, it’s crazy you can even say that because it has everything to do with you,” Mariah says.
I closed my eyes as I took another breath because I can tell from the wobble in her voice that she is about to cry. If she does, I might actually lose my shit. She always thinks she can cry her way out of a disagreement. It’s as tiring as it is disingenuous.
“We can do this all day Mariah but it won’t bring us back together. Nothing ever will. Please don’t contact me again,” I said, before hanging up the phone. 
It was the only way to end the conversation and for her to understand that I did not want to be bothered. Moving quickly, I blocked her number before yet another essay text hit my phone. I had been stalling on doing so but it was clearly time to let every part of her go once and for all.
Tumblr media
“Fix that form nigga.”
Sweat poured down my body as I readjusted the bar on my back that held two hundred pounds of weight on it. There was only one way to clear my mind after a day like I had and hitting the gym was it. Lucky for me, my best friend Aiden was the ideal work out partner as he was a personal trainer at Equinox. 
“Better but not by much,” Aiden said, as I ascended from the squat. “Where is your head at? Cause it ain’t here.”
The thing about being friends with someone since elementary school is that they know you better than you know yourself sometimes. I reach for my bottle of water on the floor before saying, “Mariah called me earlier today and I’ve been in a funk since. Trying to snap out of it though.”
“Why the fuck you answer? That’s the problem right there. You did it to yourself,” Aiden said, switching places with me at the rack.
He wasn’t one to mince words whereas I considered each word before saying it. The difference between us was patience.
“Man, she hasn’t called me in months. I honestly didn’t know what to expect,” I said, closing my water back.
“You should have expected some bullshit because it’s exactly what you got,” Aiden said as he executed the five rep set without missing a beat. It was lighter than what he had been lifting lately.
“Pretty much but I finally blocked her so the problem is solved. Just dug some shit up is all,” I said, as we switched places again.
“That’s to be expected too X. She hurt more than your feelings, she hurt your pride, and that’s a motherfucker to come back from,” Aiden says.
He’s not wrong. The dig at my ego did and was doing a number on me. Even in the lowest of our lows, Mariah and I’s sex life never reached those dips. Not when she moved either or so I thought. It was one of the reasons I had held on so long even though the end was imminent before she cheated. To know that hadn’t been one of her reasons to hold on fucked me up. We were disconnected in every single way possible.
“She did but what’s done is done. It’s time for both of us to move on,” I said, as I glanced at my watch. I meant to check in on my progress during this workout but when I noted the time I cursed. “Aye bruh, I gotta get up out of here. It’s my turn with Granddad tonight.”
Vernon Taylor, my grandfather, was the heart of our family. That’s why when we got the diagnosis of dementia as an explanation for his frequent sudden bouts of forgetfulness, we were crushed. It would eventually progress toward Alzheimer’s but for now we did everything we could for him. Including alternating night shift visits between his children and their children so that my grandmother GiGi could get some help. If I rushed, I could make it to Queens by eight.
“Oh I forgot about that too. Tell GiGi I said I’ll be there soon,” Aiden said, outstretching a fist towards me.
I bumped it with my own as I gathered my belongings. “Will do, I’ll see you.”
With that I was off. My apartment was only a fifteen minute walk from the gym. Once there I showered quickly and threw on some lounge clothes. The overnight bag I used when going over there was already packed, so once I grabbed it and my work bag, I was in the back of an Uber before seven. For the next forty eight minutes, I used the ride to reflect on my day, deciding what would make it into tomorrow, and what wouldn’t go past today. It was a coping method I learned in undergrad that helped me regulate my emotions when I did not know quite what to do with them. By the time I made it to Queens Village to the yellow two-story home I spent almost every weekend in, I felt ready to deal with what awaited inside. Walking up the pathway, I fished my keys out of my pocket so that I could let myself inside.
“GiGi it’s me, Xavier,” I called out, as I locked both the screen door and front door. No one else would be coming today so I also went ahead and put the alarm on.
“We’re in the living room baby. I left your dinner in the oven, should still be warm,” GiGi called back.
“Ahh thank you, I’m starving. I’ll be in there in a minute,” I said, before heading upstairs to my dad’s old room which was the first one you saw once you reached the landing. 
I didn’t bother turning on the lights knowing it would be a minute before I was up here for good. Tossing my bag on the floor, I stepped out of my sneakers and into the slides I wore around the house. I headed to the bathroom to wash my hands and then downstairs to grab the plate stuffed with salmon cakes, sautéed vegetables, and rice, that was indeed still warm. Within ten minutes I had inhaled the plate between checking my email which was unsurprisingly even more full since I last looked. I’d spend a good portion of the night combing through them for real. The next few hours belonged to Grandad who was sitting in his favorite chair. Gigi sat beside him knitting while he looked ahead at a Knicks game. 
I walked over and dropped a kiss on her brown cheek before moving over to Grandad. “Hey old man, how are you doing today?” I asked, holding my hand out towards him.
His hand grasped mine as his eyes roved over my face trying to place me from the rolodex of memories he had left. “Doing good Lex, doing good. You checked in on your sister? You the oldest you need to keep up with her and Keith,” Grandad replied.
GiGi tossed me a small smile as she said lowly, “Today was a little rough. Sorry baby.”
“Nothing to apologize for,” I said, reaching over and squeezing her hand. Out of all of us, I knew this transition was hardest for her the most. She’s known him inside and out for forty nine years. Turning to face Granddad once more, I mustered a smile while saying, “That’s good Pops, I try but you know how your kids are.”
“Don’t I?! Y’all came out working a nerve let me tell you,” Grandad said, wheezing a laugh. 
“All done with love,” I say as I ease down on the floor beside him like I did when I was younger. His hand taps my shoulder a few times as I get comfortable. It is his form of affection because as a veteran it was hard for him to soften enough for constant hugs and kisses. “Who you got on the game?”
“Not these bums in blue and orange, they need Walt. Where his ass at? His team needs him,” Grandad said, shaking his head and causing me to laugh. The essence of his personality is prevalent.
As much as things were changing, I had to hold onto these moments as tight as possible to carry into however many tomorrows I had left on this earth.

okay, now that i’m better, i can reread and take notes. this is a bit long, so sorry
before anything, even though it brought tears to my eyes, i’ve reread it so many times and i’m trying to organize all my thoughts.
• the other team just sucks at basketball 🙄 give it up already
• …things got funny real quick.
• yoongi had every right to pin that asshole
• BRO PUNCH OMG—although i believe he shouldn’t have done that, the guy deserved it.
• i love how bro immediately asks jimin and yoongi to look after you, no hesitation
• i genuinely feel for 3tan yoongi. i feel like he’s alive bc he has to be, not bc he wants to, as depressing as it sounds. i hope he finds his light soon. existing isn’t easy and it’s much harder when you have to carry such heavy demons.
• hustler… so cute :’)
• he was already panicking so much when the threat was already in the air, for what, a day? i don’t want to imagine how much he felt when he saw that guy grab oc at the club.
• they just want to see each other but life :(
• “Either way, he deserves the second one. Because he already knows he doesn’t deserve you in the first place.” STOP IT MISTER. YOU DESERVE GOOD THINGS
• the “i miss you” from anytime and it means so much more to me now
• “But he hasn’t felt this content in a minute. Simply talking to you and hearing you speak without hesitation relaxes him, and he thinks it’s because he’s already familiar with your company.” 🥺🥺
• “But you somehow showed up on his doorstep after a whole year of him hating who he was. And whatever you did somehow repaired that broken record, allowing him to escape that headspace and do shit again.” she’s a part of his light
• the face touch :( the KISS :(
• oc… girl, yes your man wants to see you!!!
• jimin always checking on yoongi and oc. such a good friend fr
• 3tan jimin and tae need to be a thing 😩
• “she’s not my girlfriend, idiot” NOT YET
• that whole scene where yoongi was getting touched at the club by random girls made me uncomfortable :/ he didn’t deserve that
• “He’s not ready for this conversation. Not when he’s still fucking shaken from what you said to him before he left your room. “ i must have missed something. what did oc say??
• what happened last time in yoongi’s relationship that he’s so afraid to move forward?
• the ending :(
your no sad ending policy gives me hope 🥹 can’t wait. you’ve outdone yourself yet again!!
oh my gosh, baby!! you even reread it a lot? this means so much.. sending you all the tissues, of course.
this is amazing i eat long reviews like i'm starved.. thank you for reading and for this amazing (and organized) commentary! time to get into it :D
• LMAOOO those guys were traaaash like if you lost twice..
• like yoongi said.. things can get funny. real quick. he did it without thinking but pleeeeease that dude had to know
• jimin agrees with you! and it shocked even yoongi. but it's bro, so. and he was super quick about asking for help. clearly, he isn't one to shy away from asking if he needs something.
• awhhhh baby.. yoongi definitely has some heavy demons to fight, for sure. idk if it's as depressing as you see it, but there's a lot going on there, for sure.
• of course with the hustler ehehehe
• ah, yeah, you can totally see how frantic his thoughts were at dalo. like. he barely could even finish his thoughts or sentences. jimin did the right thing by telling him to stay put.
• “Either way, he deserves the second one. Because he already knows he doesn’t deserve you in the first place.” HE DOES DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS. THE BEST THINGS.
• god. the "i miss you's" will haunt me forever. in the best way.
• “But he hasn’t felt this content in a minute. Simply talking to you and hearing you speak without hesitation relaxes him, and he thinks it’s because he’s already familiar with your company.” yes!! i'm glad you pointed this out bc most of the interlude was pretty messy and hectic. but this memory was so touching... he was super calm during this part. :((
• “But you somehow showed up on his doorstep after a whole year of him hating who he was. And whatever you did somehow repaired that broken record, allowing him to escape that headspace and do shit again.” SHE ISSSS part of his light i want to so b b b
• the face touch?? the kiss? yes please i would like to lie down here forever. and reader needs to know how much he wants to see her!
• omg 3tan jimin... a REAL ONE. i'm telling youuuuu!! and him and tae need to figure their shit out i- i will box them LOL
• “she’s not my girlfriend, idiot” DSFHDSF YOONGI
• thank you for pointing out the people touching him like HELLO guys get harassed, too. it's uncomfortable no matter who is getting touched without permission ugh..
• “He’s not ready for this conversation. Not when he’s still fucking shaken from what you said to him before he left your room. “ i must have missed something. what did oc say?? = this is referenced later when reader speaks in her sleep and confesses that she was scared :(((
• what happened last time in yoongi’s relationship that he’s so afraid to move forward? = we don't know yet, love.
• and the ending UGHHH yes... all of these points! i totally loved reading through this whole thing.
no sad endings!! we will be okay. we just need to fight through a lot of stuff first<333 thank you so much for all the commentary? wow this is some awesome stuff. i thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciate you with my whole heart.

Carry On, Simon Snow 1, Rainbow Rowell
Tumblr media
Synopsis:
Simon Snow is the worst chosen one who’s ever been chosen.
That’s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right.
Half the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he sets something on fire. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around wearing Simon’s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here—it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.
Carry On is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell story—but far, far more monsters.
Review:
I wanted to try to collect my thoughts before writing up this review but then we might be waiting weeks because I don’t think I’ll be able to calm down for another month at least. I honestly have no idea why I loved this book so much but it had so many great elements that I loved, including a swoon-worthy romance. MY HEART. BE STILL. This will probably just be a fangirly rant more than a review.
Carry On is Rainbow Rowell’s take on the Simon Snow series that was introduced in Fangirl. It’s important to note that this isn’t Cath’s Simon Snow fanfiction and it’s also not the ‘canon’ Simon Snow either, so you absolutely don’t need to read Fangirl before reading Carry On! I have to admit that the Simon Snow sections in Fangirl were actually my least favorite bits in that novel and I only skimmed quickly through those parts, because I wanted to get back to Cath and Levi’s story. But even though I didn’t love Simon and Baz (or didn’t read enough to love them) in Fangirl, I’m a total convert and they might even be my OTP of the year. And I’m probably now going to reread Cath’s SnowBaz fanfiction because I need more!
This is a fantasy story that almost reads like a contemporary. It’s set in our modern world and there are lots of pop culture references and things that I could relate to. It just felt like a very contemporary and fresh take on fantasy. There are lots of great messages about diversity right from the beginning and I really appreciated that.
I absolutely loved the world in this book. Initially, I drew lots of Harry Potter parallels but I soon started forgetting about Harry Potter because the Simon Snow world is so different and fascinating. I also didn’t mind its similarities to Harry Potter either, because it gave me something to latch on to at the beginning when the story was a little bit slow. Most of the world building happens during the first section of the book and even though nothing much happens plotwise, I had a great time learning about the world and the magic system. I thought the concept behind the magic system was wonderful – that the words they use are so important. I absolutely loved the magic spells that they used and that they can create new spells by putting conviction and magic into random phrases.
My favorite aspect of Carry On were definitely the characters. I’ve read all of Rainbow’s books, except Eleanor and Park, and I’m always astounded by how wonderful and relatable her characters are. I was obsessed with Baz from pretty much the very first mention of him. It’s no secret that Draco Malfoy is my favorite Harry Potter character and Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch is the rich, snobby, sneering Simon Snow equivalent. I loved him so, so much and he didn’t even make an appearance until Part 2 of the novel! I feel like I spent the first part of the book waiting for Baz and when he did finally appear, it was glorious.
I also loved Simon and his voice really carried through and affected me a lot. He was so sassy and snarky. I loved him! He’s been given this massive burden and he just wants to help, but most of the time he just ends up destroying everything in his vicinity. He’s a bit of a disaster but he’s the most adorable and funny disaster ever. I loved his relationship with Baz (of course) and I wish we’d gotten to see them together a lot sooner because I need so much more SnowBaz. Every single moment they were together, my heart was being squeezed in my chest and I was flailing around on my bed. I felt like I was falling in love right there with them. I also really enjoyed Simon’s relationship with his best friend, Penny. She was very supportive of him and always had his back and I loved reading about their friendship. The only character that I did not like at all was Agatha and I wished that she wasn’t in the book at all. But we can’t always have what we want, and we’ve been given so much SnowBaz that I really can’t complain. Except I want another SnowBaz novel… it doesn’t even need to have a plot. I just want to fangirl over them a little bit more.
I thought the plot of the book was amazing. Carry On kept me theorizing about what was going to happen next throughout the whole book. There are definitely some things that we’ve seen before in fantasy novels but everything worked so well together that I didn’t mind at all. Plus there were so many surprising and hilarious moments and I loved every single one of those. This book just blew my mind and exceeded all of my expectations. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

monologues
I fall in love easily. I fall out of love easily. I ruminate on love often.
The word love hangs loosely from my mouth. I’m not really sure if I ever have been in love. I mean, really in love. Love has a different definition for every circumstance, but in this context, I’m focusing on “romance.”
I remember details very well. I can put myself back into a moment and vividly recall conversations. It feels like I’m rereading the script of bantering monologues and watching spliced clips of a film that hits too close to home. I remember the first time I met my most recent endeavor. I remember how he looked at me. It was piercing. I felt like I had to breathe manually in order to remain seated in the routine of merely being a human. It was unsettling.
Boredom and curiosity are a threatening combination if not acted upon with caution. I remember the night we first spent time together with no one else around. It was impromptu. I was freezing in the dark as we sat by the water. I was buzzed off of two ciders. We were both going through a rough time. We talked for several hours about a lot of different things. I remember most of them. The feeling I had lying on top of him, his back to the ground and mine to the sky, was comforting. He described how a kiss from me would feel before I ever brought my lips to his. He was right, too. His hands touched me in a way that left a lingering warmth on my skin. He walked me to my car, and I drove an hour back to my house.
He said a lot of contradictory things about me, too. I don’t know if he was trying to convince himself that this wouldn’t hurt, if I genuinely confused him, or both. He said one night while we sat in his car, parked in my driveway, “I don’t know. I can’t explain it. Don’t take this the wrong way or anything because it’s not a bad thing, but I could see myself being with you for a long time. Like us committing to each other. I also know that if you stopped talking to me tomorrow it would be fine. It’s weird.” True. It was weird. I was pretty forward about not wanting anything serious after we first slept together, and he confidently expressed his agreeance. A week later someone asked me for my number. I told him about me and the guy planning a date. It hurt him, and in that moment, it hurt me, too.
The start of whatever the hell kind of relationship we had was rough. We were both scared, his ex-girlfriend is a leech, he was hesitant, and I was all in. I can see a text he sent me in my head. I know it was close to 1:30 in the afternoon when I read it and how the June sun brightly lit up my room even with the window shades down. “I have fallen head over heels for you. But right now I just. I can’t. You have no idea how badly I want you. I need time and I don’t want to lead you on. Know that I’m trying. I’m trying.”
He did try. We both did. It got easier. We were undeniably involved, label or not. We met each other’s parents. He came to my open mics with my friends. We always stayed up way too late. The way he looked at me was no longer unnerving. I loved his laugh. I adored how much my cat loved him, to the point where he was the only person who could pick her up and hold her without her bitching about it. It was the best sex I’ve ever had, to which he agreed. Whether that was truthful or not, I don’t know. I told him I loved him. He told me he loved me. 
I perceived the dip on the frequency of our conversations happening one morning when I made him breakfast before he woke up. We talked about something. In this instance I can’t remember what it was, though it wasn’t serious. We ate, we fucked on the dining room table, and he left. An hour later I said I needed a couple of days to myself because of how much time we were spending together. He said he was on the same page, but he wasn’t. I needed two or three days. He needed more than that.
I won’t go into too much detail regarding what happened next. To put it simply, it felt as though he got something he wanted, something I did for him. Two days after the event, he ended everything between us. I felt hollow. I found out a lot of overwhelming information regarding some behaviors he had been exhibiting. I felt disgusted, betrayed, and vengeful. Those feelings haven’t completely left, and it’s been four months since we stopped seeing each other.
I didn’t stop seeing him, though. We work at the same company. I had to see him almost every day. I still do. When I didn’t see him at work, I still saw him. I involuntarily watched the spliced clips and couldn’t stop reading the scripted monologues. At first, I was furious. I think I still am. I pinned everyone against him. I feel as though I had good reason, but I don’t have the energy for rewinding the part where he screwed me over. I probably should not have acted the way I did in response to the situation, but I wouldn’t take it back. I’ll do it again if the plot beckons.
We are currently getting along in our own, weird way. I don’t really have a choice in the matter and he’s too exhausted to continue hating me. I really do believe he hated me. It’s possible he still does in some form. I never hated him, though. I hated myself for yet again allowing another person’s actions to influence my emotional state. I don’t blame him for all of it, nor do I blame myself for all of it. There is still a lot of grey area. A lot of things are still being left unspoken. My mind is trying to write a conclusion to the script, but the plot continues to write itself.
I’m having a hard time deciphering why I still care. I catch myself missing him in certain moments. Other times I want to look him in the eyes and scream my muddled feelings into his existence. I’d like to think that whatever I’d say to him would be an angry, vindictive sentiment of distaste and despise. Though truthfully, I know it wouldn’t be a burst of outrage. The monologue would almost assuredly be a loud cry, filled with pointless details he doesn’t remember and my broken laughter towards how idiotic I must be for asking so many questions beginning with, “Why?”
I guess what I’d say doesn’t really matter too much. That conversation will never happen. I won’t ever be able to ask him any questions because I can no longer look him in the eye for longer than the duration of a sentence or two. He is again piercing me with his glances in my direction. What’s worse is that the look itself is no longer what’s unnerving; it’s the comfortability of knowing he still looks.

Sweet Dreams- Boxer!Paz x Baker!Freader
Inspired by the events of Foul (following straight after) and the Boxer Din AU created and written by the wonderful, amazing, brilliantly talented @djarinsbeskar! WC: 1,641 Tags: 18+, mentions of smut, its a smutty AU ya'll know the drill, sickeningly sweet fluff I have been driven to write this to deal with all my Paz thots- it will become very clear that I make up for the fact that I can't write hot smut by writing the softest shit. Excuse the lack of editing, also, its quite the mess x
After Din had stormed off with his “not-girlfriend” at Avika, Paz was more than ready to go home right then and there, thoroughly unwanting to deal with the feral frenzy that Din had stirred up in and out the ring. But there was no doubt that there would be more calls for blood. And even if that weren’t the case- even if Din wasn’t on the lists tonight- Paz had to stay.
It was his job after all. And one he enjoyed more often than not.
But when he thought about you, Paz’s priorities became trivial- like dust in the wind.
He hadn’t been dating you for long but he already knew that he was in deep. To Paz, you were the one that hung the stars in the sky; you, a hardworking baker with a smile that made his heart ache and hips that made his cock twitch. It was love, the realest he’d ever found, and every day he swore his gratitude to whatever force had sent him to you.
It was almost a taunt to watch Din leave Avika with his “not-girlfriend” tucked into his side- he’d been disqualified from any more fights that night but he couldn’t look any less content about it- when Paz had to stay behind with nothing but the thoughts of you waiting for him back at his place to keep him company.
To pass a bit of time between the words that were being exchanged between Boba and Din’s opponent’s trainer, Paz checked his phone- his mood instantly brightened when he saw a notification from you.
From: Sugar Cookie💖
Hey babe, I just got home. Did you feed Kitty yet? He’s begging me for food rn but I know he’s probs got a full belly and is just being a little gobble guts lol. sent 4:13am
I gave him a tinyyy bit of kibble to hold him over in case you didn’t. Kitty knows I can’t resist him. Sorry for messaging you at work btw. I know you’re busy xx Love you xx sent 4:19am
Paz checked the current time. 5:30am. Shit. He must’ve missed the buzz of the notification amidst the chaos. Usually, your shifts at the bakery ended closer to midnight but he knew you to be a hard worker, proud of the bakery you ran by yourself, and always likely to get caught up in a task until it was done to a high standard. It was just another thing for Paz to love about you.
His thumbs hovered over the reply box; you had probably already gone to bed, exhausted from your own long day of work. He couldn’t bring himself to disturb you but he pushed past that doubt a second later, typing out a response, softened when he reread your messages about his kitten.
“Vizsla!” Boba’s voice pulled him back into reality. “Are you listening at all? This does concern you.”
Paz managed an easy half-lie, fingers tapping away as he switched contacts and began typing another message, “I’m sending Din a text- trying to figure out what started all this.”
When Paz finally did get home it was pushing 8am. Expecting to find you curled up in his bed, comfortably asleep, he was shocked to see you as soon as he opened the door to his apartment. You were propped up against a wall of cushions on his couch with a book resting in your lap and his kitten snoozing on your chest. Head thrown back and peacefully still, he could tell you were fast asleep.
Just the sight of you, the shape of your body outlined by the drape of the blanket that was thrown over you, your features illuminated by the warm light of the lamp, the splay of your hair over the pillows- just looking at you relieved him of so much of the stress he had carried home. His eyes traced over your form, picking out the dip and curve of your hips, and he was struck again with the amount of love he had for you. He still couldn’t believe how quickly he had developed such deep feelings for you but that fact made them no less sincere. The softness and simple intimacy (whether that be primarily sexual or emotional) that your company alone promised never ceased to amaze him.
Trying to be as quiet as he could manage, Paz shut the door behind him, put his backpack down by the door, and crossed the room to kneel down at your side. He considered leaving you there for the rest of the night- if he did he could go take a nap and then come back and wake you up by eating you out before making you breakfast- but ultimately he wanted to, needed to sleep next to you… and he couldn’t manage that on the couch.
He got the best sleep when you stayed the night, your chest made a far better pillow and your arms though relatively small provided him with so much warmth that he would be more than content to sleep without any covers (which happened sometimes when you hoarded the blankets).
Paz let out a silent sigh and reached out to stroke the hair away from your face. You stirred in response and he leaned in to press a kiss to your nose, “Hey, baby, it’s just me.”
You let out a soft moan, eyes scrunching up before blinking open, looking up at him blearily, “Paz~”
His heart could have burst at the sound of your gentle voice laden with sleep. Carefully so as not to disturb your place, Paz eased the book from your fingers. The exhaustion was palpable on your face, the weight of many hours of work pulling at the edges of your eyes. “I thought you’d be in bed by now.”
You eased yourself up on the cushions, one hand bracing the kitten against your chest. “I wanted to stay up for you. I didn’t mean to doze off.” Fuck. Paz was slipping his arms under you faster than you could process and when he stood you were tucked against his chest, kitten, blanket and all. You didn’t even seem bothered by the shift, curling your fingers into the neckline of his shirt. The simple touch drove him wild- the burn of your warm skin against his throat like a blowtorch- and the fact that you seemed oblivious to that only made him ache for you more.
When he had gotten you halfway to the bedroom you spoke again in that voice that threatened sleep, “I would've been able to stay up for you if I didn’t have to spend three hours on a last minute order for a wedding cake.”
Paz opened the door with his hip. “You don’t have to say yes to every job you know.”
“I know- but the couple was so sweet, I couldn’t say no. Plus they paid me double and half on top because of the short notice.”
He laid you out on the bed and replaced the throw blanket with his thick quilt, kitten moving to curl up beside your head on the pillow. The comfortable setting was luring you quickly to sleep again but you were still determined to see him next to you before you shut your eyes again fully. When he didn’t immediately join you, you frowned.
Paz eased the crease in your brow with a kiss there, “Don’t pout, sweetheart. I just gotta take a shower.” He could have skipped one for now, knowing you wouldn’t protest his sweaty skin, but he wanted to be rid of the flecks of blood that had stuck to him, everything that had stuck to him from that ring, before he touched you. You started to protest but Paz silenced you with a searing kiss to your lips, “I won’t be long, I promise.”
If he had thought you would be back asleep by the time he finished he was fooling himself. You scooched backwards on the mattress and petted the space you made in front, “come here.”
Paz went willingly, instantly. He eased back the covers and shuffled in next to you, clad only in a pair of boxers, hands instantly finding your skin to greedily palm the warmth that radiated from you. You cozied up to him just as naturally, arms wrapping around his neck so that he could tuck his face against the crook of your neck. With the covers pulled over the both of you, Paz felt surrounded by your presence and it calmed any remaining stress he had.
Although he had reprimanded Din for taking a violent approach to defending a woman’s honor, Paz couldn’t deny the fact that he’d be just as likely to take a similar action if anyone spoke about you like that- just thinking about those vile, entitled words directed at you made his jaw clench subconsciously. And yet just as soon as that anger stirred up in him, it dissipated again, soothed by the thump of your heart against his chest and the delicate fan of air you puffed over his damp skin.
He was reminded of the first time he told you he loved you; not long ago, in the middle of a good hard fuck when he had you by the hip, lost in the emotion of your eyes to the point where his confession had come out as a babble that became a mantra that he punctuated with each thrust of his hips. You had been on the verge of tears then, overstimulated and shaking, when you returned the words to him from your own lips: I love you too.
“I love you.” Paz whispered.
You snuggled against him tighter, a sleepy sigh escaping you when his hands ran up and down your sides. “I love you too.”

not allowed, m | jjk
pairing(s): jungkook x reader; established relationship yoongi x reader
summary: The love of your life, BTS’s very own Min Yoongi, tells you he has a gift for you. But he also says you’re not allowed to refuse. What’s that supposed to mean, hm? Surely not... wild hot sex with the Golden Maknae himself?
warnings: rated M (18+) for language; established relationship with Yoongi (takes place after his surgery); smut (fem reader, m-receiving oral, dirty talk, penetrative sex, doggy, spanking); idol!BTS; it’s self-indulgent and I’m a little ashamed but it’s too late now, whoops
--
Just... just looking through the Twitter tag couldn't hurt, right?
You scrolled through the pictures slowly. They performed really well these past two days. Received all the awards they deserved, because BTS were the best. Still, it depressed you seeing the empty space where Min Yoongi was supposed to be. 
But that was because Yoongi was beside you, propped up in the bed with pillows, scrolling on his phone with his right hand. Occasionally, he would lower it to use both hands, since his left arm was still in the sling. You two had watched the MMA and MAMA 2020 performances together. You knew he wanted to be there. You could hear it in his voice when he called in. 
Oh, that’s right, were you supposed to be in his apartment?
No. 
But you didn't care about rules and neither did Yoongi. 
Were you dating? Well, as much as dating could be when it came to a relationship with the most loved 'lil meow meow' in the whole world. 
Yoongi always gave you this look of disapproval when you called him that, but you would always just smile and say it again, slower. 
It was the kind of thing that simply fell into place and neither of you wanted to convolute it with too many other opinions or thoughts. What happened, happened. You weren't going to make yourself known or ask for impossible things. When he told you that he was getting surgery for his left shoulder and wouldn’t have schedules for a long while, you cashed in on all those sick hours you accumulated at work, stating you had to take care of a loved one. 
No one knew your loved one was Min Yoongi. And that's way you two liked it. 
Yoongi leaned over to the long straw of the water bottle tucked in the crook of your arm. 
"Staring at our maknae again?"
You stiffened. "I'm looking at all their pictures, Yoongi. Just happened to stop on Jungkook."
He took a short sip.
"Mmm-hmm."
A few seconds past. You stared at Jungkook’s intense dark eyes, his long hair flying about from dancing, his clenched jaw as he focused. Looking sinful in all white, tempting you to save the photos.
"You're not changing the screen."
"I'm admiring the stylists' hard work."
Yoongi hummed. "You're a bad liar."
You would have thrown your phone at him if it wasn't the special edition BTS S20+, complete with a Shooky phone case. You swiped past, seeing the image of Jungkook lifting Jimin in the Black Swan performance.
"I should tell him."
You narrowed your eyes at him. "Sick of me?"
"No." He pointed to his left arm. "Can't take care of you either."
"I don't want to be the reason you need more months of physical therapy. I'm fine."
Yoongi placed his phone in his lap and placed his right arm around your shoulders. "We could risk it," he purred. 
You chuckled. "I don't think that's a good idea." You leaned your head against his shoulder. "I want to see you preform again."
"But you still want to bang Jungkookie."
A muscle in your eyebrow twitched. "I'm only looking at the pictures, Yoongi. You know you're the only one for me."
"You wouldn't try? Even if he begged you?"
You turned to Yoongi and his crafty smirk. "No." You stared at his lips and leaned in, kissing him lightly. You smiled against them. "I love you, Yoongi." Your smile turned into a smirk. "I worked too hard to sneak in here. Even outsmarted Dispatch. You can't get rid of me so easily."
Yoongi smiled back. He leaned against the headboard.
"What if I was okay with it?”
You blinked at him. "Why would you be okay with it?”
Yoongi shrugged. "You're mine, no matter what, no? Not even Jungkook's dick is going to change that."
"... Hah?"
Yoongi held up his hand, long fingers spread out. He ticked them down as he spoke. "Pros: my woman gets to satisfy her little crush, gets the fucking she wants, and will be happy."
You felt your ears burn. "Yoongi..."
Yoongi raised an eyebrow, wicked smile on his lips. "Cons... none."
You rolled your eyes. "You'd be pissed off."
He tilted his head. "What do I have to be pissed off for? Are you saying there's a reason I should be worried?"
You frowned. "No. Even if it did happen, which it won't, you will always be number one."
Yoongi nodded. "There you go."
You let out a puff of air. "I don't think Jungkook would agree anyway. And I wouldn't do it, because it's not the right thing to do."
"Who decided it's wrong?"
You made a face. "I don't know... society?"
"And we trust that societal rules are just and moral?"
"I mean, no..."
-
Washing your hair was always a pain in the ass.
You had to blow-dry it upside down, add five products at different stages, brush it super carefully with a special brush to avoid breakage, collect the fallen hair and throw it out, blah blah blah.
You shrugged on one of Yoongi's shirts after the shower – the black-and-white checkered one he wore during his VLive. Running your hand through your hair, you finally picked up your phone. Yoongi was at physical therapy, so he wouldn't be back for a while. You had some messages from him, probably before he had to put his phone away.
I sent you a gift. It will arrive today. You are not allowed to refuse.
You raised your eyebrows at that. 
P.S. Merry early Christmas. 
Was it jewelry? You pursed your lips. You always told Yoongi not to buy you things. Firstly, because you felt bad you could never reciprocate the amount he spent. You didn't make the money he made, after all. And secondly, you weren't that interested in owning expensive things. The only expensive items you loved were technology-based. Yoongi and you bonded over the newest Samsung products and always kept an eye on the latest tech. 
Maybe that was it? Maybe you had to collect a package. You mused, brushing your teeth. You were going to borrow Yoongi's pants, but you had to go hunt for some. After the teeth brushing. 
You spat and gargled some water.
The front door opened. 
You frowned. Was physical therapy canceled? Yoongi didn't have people come in and clean the apartment, because he didn't want anyone to find you. You weren't supposed to be here and no one knew you were here – except for his members, of course. But they didn't have the key, so it had to be Yoongi. You waited, in case there was someone outside. You didn't want them to hear your voice. The door closed and relocked.
You spat and rinsed out your mouth before turning off the light and going to the hallway.
"Yoongi, was physical therapy can–"
The head of long black hair lifted and turned around. He was in the middle of taking off his black sneakers. He pulled down his black face mask.
It was not Yoongi. 
"Hey, noona."
Abort.
You backed up. 
"J-J-Jungkook?"
The mischievous maknae grinned. 
"I'm the gift."
Your eyes widened. You whipped your phone to your face, nearly dropping it, juggling it for two seconds before slapping it between your palms and rereading Yoongi's messages. Rereading them way too many times because what? What, what, WHAT?
"D-don't you have p-practice?" Why were you stuttering? You never stuttered. But you never had that conversation with Yoongi until a couple days ago either. 
"I have some time, but I have to go back, yeah," Jungkook replied, far too cheerfully for how flustered you were. He was probably trying not to laugh at you. 
"How did you get in? And what do you mean, y-you're the...?"
You felt like your world was spinning. Did Jeon Jungkook just announce he was the gift? What? You're not allowed to refuse. Of course, you were going to refuse! This was Min Yoongi you were in love with! The cutest in the entire world! 
Jungkook brushed back part of his long hair and tucked it behind his ear, revealing half of his forehead and his silver hoops. Smirk on his pink lips, the mole underneath his lower lip winking at you. Skin tan and glowing in the hallway light.
...
Okay, yes, Jeon Jungkook was very handsome, but it didn't matter because–
"Hyung and I had a talk. He gave me the key," Jungkook said, dangling it. 
"Hahaha, why would be do that?" you laughed nervously, still crab-walking backwards because maybe if you just fused with the wall then you were be spared from those penetrating dark brown eyes.
Jungkook stepped into the apartment, following you. “I was surprised too.” He smiled somewhat apologetically. “I guess he overheard me telling Taehyung that I would totally fuck you if you weren’t hyung’s girlfriend.”
You blinked rapidly. “P-pardon?”
Jungkook held up his hands. Oh dear. His pretty, large hands that reminded you of Yoongi’s, but his right hand was tattooed. “But I wasn’t going to do anything though. Promise.” His eyes shifted upwards and then he looked back at you, his rueful expression turning into one of slyness. Shit. “Well, until Yoongi-hyung asked me to, that is.”
You stumbled in the doorframe of the bedroom. To be honest, you kept backing up because Jungkook advancing on you was making you uneasy, hot, and bothered. With emphasis on the latter two. You still couldn’t believe Yoongi would do this to you. This was Yoongi! Mild-mannered, sweetie with swagger, SUGA of BTS!
Then you had a thought.
You were always very good at teasing Yoongi. Either to annoy him or sexually in public situations. You could imagine Yoongi’s smirking face now. Knowing he got the one-up on you. Knowing he’d finally shocked you.
You’re not allowed to refuse.
The back of your knees hit the edge of the bed. A hot shiver went up your spine. Jungkook was right in front of you. Black parka, black jeans. Jungkook unzipped the parka, shrugging out of it. Black dress shirt. You knew Jungkook did not like wearing button-ups. Why was he wearing it? He unbuttoned the first one, revealing his collarbone. Then the second one. Open-mouthed smirk completed with his tongue between his teeth, dark eyes on your shaking form.
The maknae was going to fucking striptease you?
You held a hand up. “Hold on a second.”
Jungkook’s fingertips paused above the next button.
“You’re doing this… for fun?”
Jungkook tilted his head. “No. Not really for fun.” His voice was low, deep. His eyes trailed down your body, then back up to your face, lingering all over you. You swallowed. “I’m doing this because this is the only chance I’ll get.”
“What if I say no?”
Jungkook lowered his hand. “Hyung said you weren’t allowed to refuse.” His voice was softer now, almost pouting. Ouch. It actually pained you. You wanted to give in to him just like that. You loved Yoongi with all your heart, but the maknae’s charms definitely worked on you. They worked on everyone. Everyone loved Jungkook and wanted to give him everything.
“Jungkook,” you breathed, trying to reorient yourself, trying to find the right words. “I’m not saying I’m not interested. I definitely am.” He observed you carefully as you groped for the right words. “But this is a little crazy. And… you could get anyone.”
“I couldn’t get you.”
You slowly, slowly made eye contact with him. Jungkook took a step towards you. You didn’t move, transfixed by his chocolate eyes.
“The way you slowly fell in love with Yoongi-hyung,” he whispered, getting closer and closer. “You didn’t even notice. You still don’t notice. The way I stare at you, you and the beautiful shape of your eyes.” His finger came up and traced your eyes, rooting you in place. “Your cute nose. The shape of your lips.” His fingertip brushed against your lower lip. “So full. I watch you kiss him, wishing it was me.” He caressed your cheek. “The dimples that appear when you smile. So cruel.”
Jungkook’s breathing shallowed. His eyes flickered downwards to your hands, still clutching your phone. He reached for it and took it from you. Threw it onto the bed. Then his hands wrapped around yours, clutching them tight. You stopped breathing. Jungkook’s voice dropped several octaves.
“I watch your hands. Touching him, resting on his thigh, tracing up, palming him right in front of us.”
“I didn’t… think anyone would notice.”
Jungkook leaned in even more, still holding your hands tightly, as if they were going to disappear. You could smell his clean scent, like fresh laundry.
“I always notice,” he murmured. “Whenever you’re there, I can’t help but have my eyes on you. I couldn’t touch, but I could look. I thought that was all I could have.”
Jungkook let go of you. Hand dancing up your neck, cupping your cheek. Tilted his head, eyelashes lowering. Breath against your lips. Eyes pleading you, waiting for the heartbreak.
“Please let me kiss you.”
You’re not allowed to refuse.
You pressed your lips against Jungkook’s, eyes closing. It was impossible to say no. He was sweet and soft. You could feel his nerves and his fear in his kiss, not trying to ask for more, not wanting to ask for too much. It was you who hooked an arm around his neck, pulling him closer, deepening the kiss. Right, wrong? That didn’t matter right now. The only thing you cared about right now was taking Jungkook’s fear away.
You pulled him onto the bed, arms around his neck, mumbling his name against his lips. His breathing hitched, hands circling your waist, holding onto you.
“Noona…”
“Call me by name, Jungkook.”
He gulped, shaking his head. “I can’t.” He gnawed on his lip anxiously. You smiled, and took his hands, placing them by the buttons of his shirt.
“Weren’t you in the middle of giving me a show?” you teased. “You’re great at putting on a show.”
Jungkook’s lips curved into a smile. “Oh yeah?”
You settled down into the bed, looking up at him from in between his thighs. You could tell Jungkook was still nervous, but there was something else too. His mischief was creeping back into his sparkling eyes. You cocked an eyebrow, smirking. He undid another button. And another. Carefully, playfully pulling the fabric apart, revealing a little of his skin at a time.
“Hyung told me you like staring at my pictures.”
You shrugged, licking your lips. “They’re nice photos.”
“Were you satisfied by just looking at pictures?” he purred, already reaching lower, lower. You could see the contours of his muscular torso, the top of his abs. Ugh, Jungkook was so attractive. Scratch that, so fucking hot. He reached the bottom of his shirt and placed two fingers under your chin, pushing it back up to his face.
“My eyes are up here.”
His fingers under your chin made you realize how hard you were breathing.
“Jungkook.”
He tilted his head at you, long hair covering part of his face.
Yoongi’s words came back to you. My woman gets to satisfy her little crush. At the time, you thought those words were referring to your crush in Jungkook. But perhaps it was the other way around. Maybe Yoongi was referring to you satisfying Jungkook.
“Don’t hold back.”
And then you got up from the bed, grabbing the collar of his dress shirt and yanking them down Jungkook’s shoulders, kissing him again, but harder this time, tongue sliding into his mouth and thrusting into it, taking his breath away. Jungkook’s eyes went wide, gasping against your tongue, struggling to get out of his sleeves before he scrambled for the buttons on your shirt, moaning as you sucked on his tongue, gripping his upper arms.
“N-noona…”
“Call me by name or nothing at all,” you growled dangerously.
His dark eyes bored into you, daring you. You nipped at his lower lip, grinning.
“You think you’re the only one who’s horny here?”
Your hands danced around his arms, reaching around him, and your nails scratched him down his broad back, hissing as he moaned, tipping his head back, Adam’s apple shaking. Fuck, it felt so good. It felt so fucking good to drag your nails down that back, seeing Jungkook lose some control, falling more and more into the moment. You leaned forward, wrapping your arms around him, shuddering as his hard body was pressed against you and your half-open shirt.
“I want it all,” you breathed. “I’m so greedy, but I want it all, Jungkook. Give it to me.” Voice dropping, inhaling his delicious scent. “Please.”
He growled deep in his chest and grabbed the bottom of your shirt, yanking up and revealing your bra clasp, undoing it easily. Pushed you back, swiftly pulling your shirt and bra off together, tossing it aside to the floor.
“Fuck, your tits are as pretty as I thought they would be.”
And then Jungkook’s mouth was on you, furiously kissing down your neck, licking your collarbones, biting your shoulder, his hands roughly squeezing your breasts. You moaned, your nipples pressed against his thumbs, pinching them against the side of his hand. His lips travelled down, down and then they latched around your nipple, flicking it with his tongue. Your hands flew up into his hair, gripping it tightly.
“Fuck, they even taste good,” he whined. “You taste so fucking good.”
Your back arched as he began to suck, running your hands through his hair, whimpering his name, telling him how good he was, how nice it felt, lost in the feeling of his tongue and his strong arms around your waist. He switched to the other nipple, saliva dripping. Licking it all over and then breathing on it with his hot breath. Your entire body trembled in his arms from the sensation.
“I’m drooling; that’s how fucking good you taste,” Jungkook mumbled, sucking hard and tight, dark eyes on you as you cried out softly, holding onto his head. Your fingers curled into his long locks, grasping them tightly. He raised his eyebrow, but you began to rock back and forth into his mouth, tugging your nipple with his lips. Jungkook’s fingers dug into you, erotic groans vibrating in his throat as you fucked his face with your tits.
Wetness soaked your panties, the scent of your sex getting stronger and stronger.
Jungkook removed his lips, sucking in a tight breath. Your name slid out of his mouth in a tight hiss, no honorifics. You felt your pussy throb hearing your name come from his lips, saturated with desire. You grinned.
“Took you long enough, Jungkookie.”
He chuckled, grabbing your hips and shoving them up into his jean-covered crotch. You gasped. You could feel his erection straining against the thick fabric, grinding against your soaked panties. Fuck, you couldn’t stop staring at Jungkook, him and his sharp jawline and his beautiful eyes and his playful smirk on his damn lips, infuriating and arousing you.
“You’re so fucking irresistible,” you whispered, rolling your hips into him hard. It was his turn to gasp, his turn to shudder at your movements. The way you could turn him from smug confidence to those submissive doe eyes was turning you on way too much.
You wanted to ruin him and be ruined by him.
You grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him onto the bed. He yelped as you slid down, nails racking down his torso, whimpering in your wake. The front of his jeans was wet with your juices. You undid the button, zipping them down.
“How are you going to explain this?” you smirked, gesturing down to the giant wet sport at the front of his pants.
“They’re black,” Jungkook panted. “It’ll be fine.”
You laughed, pulling them down his legs. Jungkook’s hand flew down, reaching into his back pocket, pulling out a condom. You tilted your head.
“Only one?”
He looked down at you, startled. “W-well… I don’t know if you want more….”
You raised an eyebrow and reached over to the nightstand, opening it and taking out the whole damn box.
“Er… I cannot cum that many times. In one sitting, anyway.”
“Ah, well, let’s just see then.”
You peeled his jeans and boxer briefs off, licking your lips as your hungry eyes landed on his cock. Half-hard, pre-cum glistening at the tip. Jungkook swallowed nervously, but you crawled on top of him, immediately licking a fat stripe down his entire length. You moaned with him, feeling the blood rushing to his cock, pulsing against your lips. You hadn’t had sex in a while, trying not to tempt Yoongi or aggravate his injury. His recovery was too important to not only you, but the nation and the world. So, you kept your need to yourself, but now Jungkook’s cock was right on front of you.
And there was nothing to stop you.
You pressed your lips against his balls, licking them all over, playing with them with your tongue. Jungkook groaned above you, grabbing fistfuls of sheets as you began to suck on them, bobbing your head up and down. He was panting your name breathlessly, helpless as you pulled your head back, his balls slowly slipping out from between your lips.
You kissed up his length, tongue swirling around the head before taking him in, all the way, softly but firmly. If there was anything Yoongi’s tongue technology taught you, it was how to apply his technique to giving head, much to his surprise. You were good at extrapolation. You pressed the head into the roof of your mouth, raking it all the way to the upper part of your throat and tightening. Jungkook gasped, eyelids fluttering as your tongue assaulted the bottom of his cock, from the bottom of the head to the base.
You heard something between the lines of, “Holy fuck”, “What the hell”, and “Oh my fucking God.”
You retreated for a second, wrapped your tongue all the way around the head and teased the thin skin right where the head and length connected, repeatedly rubbing your lips over it before going all the way down again.
Now Jungkook was absolutely incomprehensible as you began to suck him off, fast and tight, lips soft compared to the vacuum of your mouth. Was it unfair? Yes, it was, giving him soft and hard, rough and wet, scraping the head against the back of your throat and choking it with your muscles. Jungkook was whimpering and cursing, his thighs flexing under you, tasting so fucking good that you were dripping between your own thighs.
You didn’t stop.
Faster and faster, holding his hips down, watching Jungkook unravel under you, hands in his long hair and slamming his head back into the pillows, covering his mouth as he screamed your name into his palm. You felt his cock spurt his cum into the back of your throat, your muscles constricting as you drank him up, your moans added vibration along his length.
The first orgasm was always the most and tasted the best. So much, coating the entire inside of your mouth, your tongue swiping around his cock to collect it all. You lapped it all up, encouraging his cock to get hard again. Smirking as you succeeded, popping your mouth off gently.
“What position do you want me in, Jungkook?” you murmured, throat a little hoarse, taking the condom and opening it, rolling it onto his cock.
He moved his palm from his mouth, panting hard, hair all over his face. His intense brown eyes locked with yours and you knew the dynamic was switched.
“On your back. Want to watch your face when I fuck you.”
You could relent, rolling onto your back, removing your soaked panties, chest heaving in anticipation as Jungkook got up, towering over you. His hands gripped your hips, adjusting you to the correct angle. You could play the other part, with one small caveat. His eyes found yours, glaring at you.
“Wipe that smirk off your face.”
“Make me.”
Jungkook thrust into you, hard, and you kept the smirk on your face as he forcefully stretched you out, pushing your limits.
“Hurts?” he taunted.
You licked your lips. “It’s not good unless it hurts.”
The slight irritation that flashed in his eyes spurred you on. You tightened around his cock, exhaling with a hiss. Fitting him to you, bringing out the dominance in him. Jungkook gritted his teeth and slammed his hips into yours. You had the audacity to chuckle.
“Did you really want me that bad, Jungkook?” you teased. “Or were they only pretty words? Are you a tiger or just a cute little bunny?”
Jungkook snarled low in his chest.
Then he began to fuck you, lifting your legs onto his shoulders and pressing down, smacking your ass with his hips. The position made you tighter, gravity making him pound you harder, forcing you to feel all of him as drove his rock-hard cock into you. Your hands flew up, one pressed against the headboard, the other clutching a pillow for dear life, eyes squeezing shut at the fullness and harshness.
“A-ah, fuck, yes,” you gasped. “So fucking good…”
Jungkook brought his face close to yours, hitting you deeper and just as hard. “Where’s your smirk now? Can’t give me one when you’re being punished by this cock?”
Your heart jerked in your chest at his dirty words, becoming even wetter with the dangerous edge to his voice.
“Listen to you, fucking dripping down my thighs with how wet you are for me,” Jungkook hissed, inhaling sharply as you throbbed hard around him. He groaned, clenching his jaw. “Fuck, I can’t help myself, I just have to fuck you like an animal.”
You snickered dryly, jerking your hips up to meet his. Not saying anything, letting your pussy do the talking because you were so close to orgasm that you roughly massaged his entire length, throwing your head back and moaning as you came around him. The squelching sounds between your connected hips got louder, drenching the air with the scent of sex and lust.
Jungkook sank his teeth into his lower lip, grimacing. “Fucking unfair how good you feel,” he ground out, squeezing his eyes shut, ramming his hips into you, muscles in his arms and shoulders tense. “Can’t even last, fuck.”
He crashed his hips into yours and growled your name in his throat, cock smacking against your walls as he came, swelling the condom full. You whimpered in ecstasy, back arching, clenching around his cock.
“Yes, Jungkook, oh, yeeees…”
It wasn’t enough.
Neither of you had had enough.
Jungkook gripped the end of the condom and pulled out, hissing at the sensitivity as he took it off. You tossed him a spare towel from the nightstand drawer and he cleaned himself, gasping.
“Hands and knees.”
You rolled over, flinging the box of condoms at him, and he caught it, dark eyes glinting.
“Spread that pussy for me.”
You reached back and planted your hands on each ass cheek pulling your wet slit open. Jungkook hissed and you could hear skin on skin of him jacking himself off to get hard again. An idea popped into your head.
You flexed your vaginal muscles, opening and closing your hole for him.
“Fuck,” he breathed. “You’re so damn sexy it’s illegal.”
You heard him get onto his knees. The sound of a condom being ripped open. His groan as he fitted the condom over his aching cock. His strong hands gripped your hips, the head rubbing against your entrance.
“Don’t know how long I can last,” he murmured. “I’m just going to go as hard and as fast as I can.”
“Do it, Jungkook,” you panted. “Make me feel you for days.”
He whimpered at your words and sank into you. Both of you moaning, your hands clutching the sheets, his fingertips bruising your skin, imprints of lust. Jungkook was pure, glorious power that threatened to overtake you, his cock throbbing and digging into your walls as he fucked you hard, muscular thighs slapping into yours. The poor bed could barely take it, but neither of you noticed, lost in the feeling of being filled and doing the filling.
His hand came down on your ass, a sharp, harsh sound that echoed off the walls and made your pussy clench. It barely hurt. You had felt worse before.
“You like that?” he panted.
“Fuck yes I do,” you gasped hotly. “Spank my ass, Jungkook.”
He did, thrusting into you and slapping you repeatedly, making your ass jiggle. You squeezed him each time, now rolling your hips back into him, arching your back as you came with a satisfied sigh. Your skin stung, your pussy was pulsating with abuse, and Jungkook’s cock hit all your deepest spots.
“Fuck, Jungkook, you’re so fucking good at fucking me,” you breathed, feeling him wind you up again.
He couldn’t even reply, only loudly moaning through the convulsions of your pussy radiating up and down his length. Good thing the walls were pretty soundproof, because it was a goddamn porno in the bedroom at the moment. It was obscenely lewd with the wet slapping of his hips into yours.
“So close, so close, squeeze me, fuck, choke my damn dick,” Jungkook rambled in between breaths, hissing as you did as you were told, gripping him every time he slammed into you. He came with a half-scream, half-moan of your name, whining at the sensitivity as you pulsed around him, leaking down his thighs and yours. It smelled so strongly of sex that you weren’t sure how you were supposed to clean this up before Yoongi came home.
Your phone buzzed loudly on the bed.
You grunted, clawing for it as Jungkook remained inside you, softening but refusing to leave your warmth. He wrapped his arms around you, burying his face into your back.
You checked your messages. From Yoongi.
Your gift needs to get his ass to practice before he gets yelled at.
“Jungkook, you’re gonna be late.”
He groaned in annoyance, squeezing you tighter. Another message popped up.
Tell him there’s plenty of time before I fully recover. If he works hard and does a good job, maybe after I recover too.
You poked Jungkook. He lifted his head, pouting, eyes changing to excitement when he read the message.

Midnight
Gwen Stacy x Reader
Tumblr media
A/N: Okay so I promised to write this/wrote it before I went mia from this blog for the fattest of minutes and I have no clue why I didn't just post it. I think it's bc I didn't like it at the time, but now that I reread it I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. So I hope you enjoy this dusty Gwen x Reader I dug out of the pit of hell that is my drafts!! Also, I'm working on chapter 3 of No Longer Yours and it'll be out soon I promise!!! I've just been so busy!!
Summary: Gwen had a rough night out on patrol and she needs her girlfriend to ground her.
Masterlist
Word Count: 1,320
Warnings: None
You've always been a light sleeper. So, when you felt your bed dipping next to you, it startled you awake. Initially, you freeze. Waiting for the stranger to do something, your heart is pounding in your chest. With your brain still foggy from sleep, you roll over quickly, the sheets tangling around your waist. You don't know what you were hoping to accomplish with that. 
“It’s alright, it’s just me.”
Immediately you recognize your girlfriend's voice, and you feel yourself let out a breath that you had been holding, the tension leaving your body. You blindly reach out as you blink the remnants of sleep from your eyes until you feel her arm, then proceed to give it a soft, lighthearted smack.
“Jesus, Gwen! You scared the ever loving crap outta me!”
You exclaimed, your voice still slurred from sleep. You suddenly sense the tense air surrounding her. She stays silent, staring out the window and into the night sky. That’s when you notice your apartment window is still cracked open from her entry. The cool night air drifts into the warm room, and it feels nice against your overheating skin. That’s when you remembered- Gwen only comes in through the window like this after a bad night. Like, a really bad night. Like, someone died or got seriously injured sorta night. You feel your heart tighten at the realization.
You sat up, scooting a bit closer to her. You slowly raised your hand and rested it on her shoulder. Her suit is still on, her hood bunched up at the base of her neck. You squeeze her shoulder comfortingly. When she didn’t protest, and she never does, you brought up your hand and began combing your fingers through her soft, blonde locks. Gwen only continued to look out the open window, and at that moment a gentle breeze came through and danced with her hair. 
“What do you need, baby?”
You asked softly, gently. Once again you moved your hand to her shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze. You wanted to remind her that you’re here, that you’ll always be here for her. Gwen’s gaze shifted to her lap where her hands rest and you follow her eyes, finding her mask clutched tightly between her gloved fingers.
“I just need you.”
She finally spoke. Your heart aches at how broken she sounds. She turns her head to look at you, those stunning blue eyes of her finally meeting yours. Concern etched across your features at the ruined look in her eyes. Your heart aches again. All you want to do is hold her and protect her from the world- let someone else be Spider-Woman. Let someone else save the day. All you want is for Gwen to be okay, and she can't be okay with the weight of the world on her shoulders. 
“You have me, Gwen. I’m right here.”
She shifted so that she was facing you, one hand bracing herself on the bed, and the other coming up to cradle your cheek. Gwen pulled you towards her, and you didn’t resist. You didn’t want to. Her lips met your own, desperate and needy. It knocked the wind right out of you. You did your best to return the kiss, but still, drowsiness slowed your thoughts and your movements. You leaned forward, tangling your hand in her hair as she slipped her tongue into your mouth. 
She pulled back abruptly, and you took a moment to catch your breath.
“God, I’m sorry. I come in here in the middle of the night and wake you up, then just grab your face and just shove my tongue down your throat? I’m so stupid.. I should’ve asked you if it was okay. I shouldn’t have woken you up, you need your sleep. I’m sorry.”
She sighed, dragging her hands down her face in embarrassment. You grab one of her still gloved hands and shake your head.
“Never apologize, Gwen. I’m here when you need me. I’ll always be here... And I could never turn down a makeout session with my extremely hot girlfriend. I love your kisses, Spider-Woman.”
You smile playfully at her, with your fist still tangled in her hair, you bring her face closer to yours and simply rub your nose against hers lovingly. She smiles softly in return, a quiet laugh falling from her lips.
“What would I do without you?”
Gwen smiled, and you smiled back.
“You would be so lost."
"I would be."
She says quietly, her smile turning soft as she looks at you with eyes full of love. You lean in and leave a kiss on her forehead. 
"Even though you look really good in that suit, it's time for bed. And I'd prefer that you don't sleep in that thing."
Gwen hums approvingly as you get up from the bed and make your way to your closet, the moonlight illuminating the room in grays and whites, only tints of color. Giving you just enough light to clearly search through your closet. 
"I love wearing your shirts more than this thing, anyways. I love wearing your shirts more than anything, actually."
You grin at her words as you find a ratty old grey t-shirt. Hopefully this one will do.
You turn around just as she’s bending over to shimmy the suit off of her feet. You can’t help but admire how good she looks- the moonlight hitting her back makes her look radiant. She's so beautiful and stunning, in moments like these you can't help but be in awe that she's even real. 
“My eyes are up here.”
She wiggles her eyebrows at you and you feel your face flush. You clear your throat and laugh it off. 
“You’re too observant, I never get to secretly oggle you.”
You pout and she laughs as she folds her suit and stuffs it into her backpack. Her laugh makes you relax a bit, happy that she’s starting to become a little more normal.
“Here, catch.”
You interrupt before she can say anything else. You throw the shirt at her, and she catches it with her amazing reflexes. She holds it out in front of her and studies it for a moment, a slight pout now making its way onto her lips. She’s so cute.
“I want to wear your Fall Out Boy shirt, it’s my favorite.”
You throw yourself back into bed, bouncing slightly as you do so before getting under the blankets. 
“It’s dirty, gorgeous. You’ll have to make do with this one.”
Now you’re the observant one, because you notice a hint of red on her cheeks as she slips the shirt over her head. You smile to yourself, happy to have been able to successfully fluster her. 
She slips under the covers next to you, and you open your arms. Gwen scoots in closer, and she rests her head on your shoulder, bringing up her hand to rest on your chest. You bury your nose in her hair and kiss the top of her head as you wrap your arms around her. You feel her relax in your embrace, a soft sigh leaving her lips. 
She’s safe here, in your bed, in your arms. She can drop all of the stress of being a superhero at the door and pick it up again in the morning. Moments like these are her only bits of peace amongst the chaos, the only thing that keeps her sane and grounded. She really doesn’t know what she would do without you. You’re an angel, and she doesn’t understand how she got so lucky. 
After a moment of silence, Gwen says your name softly.
“Yes, dear?”
You whisper into the roots of her hair.
“Thank you for always being here for me.”
She says, even softer than before. You smile, running your thumbs against her skin.
“Of course. I’ll always be here when you need me.”

And I wonder if you'd take it slow
Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x gn!Reader
Warnings: None, this is just college au domestic fluff.
Summary: College is leaving you way too overworked, so Wanda uses her magic to distract you until you give yourself a break.
Word count: 963
A/N: I didn’t proof read, so there’s probably some mistakes. This is my first Wanda fic, I hope you enjoy!
Masterlist
If you had to choose one word to describe your semester, you would probably pick “chaos”. College had never been a calm experience, but, this time, it seemed like all of your professors had come together in a twisted deal to drown you in deadlines and tests. After finishing a paper that was due in a few hours, you were trying to catch up on the readings for a test the next morning. All you wanted was to relax for a minute, maybe take a quick nap, but there was just no time.
Surrounded by books, loose papers and colorful markers, you sat at the dining table in the apartment you shared with your girlfriend. She would be home any minute now, and you could already anticipate her rant. You needed to sleep, to take it easy, to give yourself a break. This routine wasn’t good for your body or your mind and that unhealthy cycle had to be broken. Of course, Wanda was right, but you were too anxious and stubborn to give in, no matter how much you would like to.
You shook those thoughts away and tried to focus on your work. You managed to pay attention to the subject, highlighting and annotating the main points, but that didn’t last for long. Soon, the door was opened silently, a red glow making the doorknob move as Wanda entered the room with her arms full of groceries.
“Hey, sweetheart. How is that paper going?” The bags of groceries flew to the table and Wanda walked to you, giving you a small kiss before checking what you were reading.
“I finished it, finally! I’m not even halfway through the readings for Johnson’s test tomorrow, though. I don’t know how I’m going to finish this in time.” You pouted, trying to reorganize the sources in front of you.
“Maybe you should try to get some rest before you continue. It would be easier to focus if you had had a break in the last five days, you know.” She smiled, running her hands over your hair. You both knew that you weren’t that easy to convince, but Wanda would always give it a try just in case.
“I will get a break, I promise. In three days.” You offered, hoping that Wanda would recognize a lost case and let it go.
For a few minutes, it looked like she had. The redhead took the groceries to the small kitchen, and you could hear cabinets opening and closing while each item was put in place. You reread the last paragraph of the page, trying to decode the words. And then, you felt a kiss at the back of your neck, right where Wanda always kissed you, and you turned around, looking for her.
There was nothing there. From the kitchen, still came the sounds of cans and boxes being placed, and Wanda’s light footsteps hadn’t stopped. You turned back to the page and read the paragraph once more. And then you got a vivid image in your head, but it wasn’t at all related to the subject you were studying. It was an image of Wanda’s hair spread over your arm as you two cuddled in bed, a mess of blankets and limbs and you and her. You could almost smell her shampoo as she moved, hugging you closer. You could feel her touch in your arms, the movement of her hands against your skin. The sensation was so clear in your mind, just as if…
Oh.
“That is very much not fair, Wan. I had almost finished this page. Not fair at all.” You said, not bothering to look around. You knew she was still in the kitchen, but she was definitely listening.
Her laughter came floating in the air, making you smile despite how tired and stressed you were. All cabinets were closed at the same time and Wanda walked out of the kitchen, running her hands over your arms just like she did in the vision she gave you. You gave up and turned around to look at her. Studying wasn’t going very well anyway.
“If you won’t take care of yourself, sweetheart, I gotta take this into my own hands. With whatever weapons I find available.” She reinforced her point by bending down to kiss you, holding you close.
“Just a nap, then.” You got up, giving her your best puppy eyes, and allowing her to lead you to the bedroom.
“A nap and then dinner. I’m cooking.” There was no point in arguing with her. Instead, you just kissed her shoulder and pulled her to bed.
“Okay, Wan. And if I don’t pass that test, can you mind wipe the professor to give me a good grade?” You joked, getting comfortable as Wanda passed her arms around you, covering you both in blankets.
“It’s very unethical to get inside someone’s mind without an invitation, honey. I could get my magical license suspended.” She looked so cute pretending to be serious that you couldn’t even be mad.
“Let’s keep that in mind when I have my finals, okay?” You sighed, burying your face in her shoulder and already feeling sleepy. You weren’t sure if it was Wanda’s magic or if you were just that tired.
“No promises. I forget the rules when you forget to be kind to yourself.” She whispered, kissing your hair and holding you close. Your heart shattered at how much she cared, at how dedicated she was to making sure you were well.
“Oh, Wan…” You tried to speak, but you felt her shaking her head.
“Sleep now, sweetheart. We got this. You just need to rest.” You nodded, letting her warmth surround you and breathing in her perfume. In five minutes, you were both asleep.

Prompt 59 and it was like a love letter that either fem!reader or Spencer wrote to the other but they just found it bc they had like a falling out and hadn’t talked in a while??
No One Else
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader
Content/Warnings: angst with fluffy ending
Word Count: 0.8k
It had been two months since Spencer last saw you.
Spencer came over to your apartment one night to see you sobbing on the couch and he knelt in front of you and cupped your cheek, asking what’s wrong.
You looked up at him with puffy red eyes and said “I can’t do this anymore.”
“Do what?” he asked softly.
“I need to start fresh.”
“Y/N, I don’t understand.”
“I think I may move…or at least go away for a while,” you sniffled.
“Did something happen? I can help whatever it is. Please tell me, Y/N. I’m your best friend.”
Your lip quivered. That stung. But it also solidified your decision. You needed to get away. Fast.
“There’s nothing you can do, Spence. Please just go.”
Spencer wanted to protest but when he reached out to touch you, you cried harder.
“I’ll be over in the morning,” he spoke softly, closing your apartment door behind him.
You were gone in the morning. Some of your essentials were packed but most of your stuff remained here. The apartment felt cold, contrasting the usual warmth you brought it.
In those two months, all of Spencer’s calls and texts to you went unanswered. You were trying to get over him but you couldn’t bring yourself to block him. Not his fault you fell hopelessly in love with him.
Spencer stopped at your apartment every Friday night with the key you had given him a while ago, hoping you came back. Friday nights used to be your movie nights.
He would skim your bookshelf and read (or in his case, reread) 3 books and then head back to his equally as lonely apartment. He had made his way through half your bookshelf when he came across a little black book. When he pulled it off the shelf, he realized it was a journal.
Spencer knew he shouldn’t. It was already bad enough that he came into your apartment every week without you here. However, before he even could comprehend what he was doing, he had the journal opened and was skimming the pages.
It was filled with reminders, grocery lists, little doodles, but there was an entry dated the day you left.
Dear Spencer,
It physically hurts me how much I love you. Deep down, I knew you didn’t feel the same but as people say ‘ignorance is bliss’. I just always had that little sliver of hope that you wanted me just as much as I wanted you. I didn’t realize how much I was holding on to that hope until it was crushed right in front of me. When we went out to the bar with your team and a girl asked for your number and you said yes as I was standing beside you, my heart completely shattered. You must know that you are not at fault for my pain though, you can’t help how adorably sweet and handsome you are. I was so lucky to have you as a best friend but I can’t anymore. I can’t when I want so much more.
“No…no…no,” Spencer whispered to himself.
I tried to get past it, Spencer, I really did. In the days I saw you after the bar incident, I would cry immediately after you left. I was always wondering ‘did he notice I was smiling less?’ or ‘was he going to her apartment next?’.
Spencer noticed. He missed your bright smile and laughter so much during that week.
His head snapped up to the door when he heard keys jingling from outside and the door unlock.
You stopped in your tracks when you saw Spencer sitting on your couch, “You’re usually gone by now.”
“You wait for me to leave?”
“No, I haven’t been around much but my landlord contacted me that you would come every Friday night and stay for 3 hours. It’s been 5 so I thought I was safe to do some restocking,” you explained with a suitcase in your hand.
“Did you write this?” Spencer held the letter up.
You sighed, “It doesn’t really matter at this point. Does it, Spence?”
“Yes, it matters. It matters so much because I love you too,” Spencer stated.
“But the girl at the bar-”
“I thought she was asking for Derek’s number because I’m usually his ‘wingman’. It’s honestly an instinct for me to just say ‘yes’ at this point. I’m so so sorry for the misunderstanding. Y/N, I noticed you were smiling less. How could I not? It’s what keeps me going after a long day. There is no one else I could possibly ever want. Only you,” Spencer spoke.
“You’re not saying this just because you want your best friend back, right?” you asked tentatively.
“Well, yes, I want my best friend back but I would also like her to be my girlfriend too if she’s open to that,” Spencer smiled softly.
“I’m very open to that,” you beamed as Spencer pressed his lips to yours.
submit a blurb prompt request for my 750 celebration here! (closes on friday 7/9 11:59 P.M. EST)

Ghost9 Seven Minutes in Heaven
My other Ghost9 post is still in progress, but I have to go back and reread and edit so in the meantime while we're all depressed and said about the boys leaving I got an idea to do this so now I'm going to in a attempt to soother out sadness a bit, and yes I will still and always write for Dongjun and Taeseung, regardless of what they do now ❤️
Junhyung
Honestly nervous but also ready to be a cocky ass mother fucker
Like he likes you a lot and he wants you to be comfortable but he knows he's sexy and wants to rile you up
Is a complete gentleman though, when you enter, asking if you're ok with this and making you comfortable, giving you space if you want it
When he was assured you were ok, he asked you if he could confess something and told you he liked you
You were happy and told him you liked his too and he asked if he could kiss you
And right after you said yes he becomes this bitch-
Hands on your waist, pressed you up against a wall, smirk on his face as he's inches away from you
You die red faced flustered and laughed a bit at your reaction, thinking your cute, before he full on kisses you
If you happened to place your hands on his bisceps when he pushed you and he fells you, he'll probably end up kissing you longer and might flex a bit so you can feel him
Most likely doesn't take it further than that though since he wants to be serious about actually dating you and take it slow
Definitely pulls you out with him as your face is still bright red, hand in hand
Dongjun
Dies a little inside
Super nervous because he really likes you
Like he always tries to impress you and loves making you laugh
So he's so nervous when he get in the closet with you
Tries to keep up his relatively expressionless self
Until he looks up and makes eye contact with you smiling at him and he just melts into awkward laughter and pink cheeks
Which you think is absolutely adorable because he is and so is his smile
You were the one to ask if he wanted to kiss and he was really caught off guard
Since you wanted to he'll do it, putting his hands on your waist as he kisses you sweetly
Probably confesses to you right then that he likes you and asks you out
Ends up walking out with you holding hands
Shin
Another cocky ass motherfucker
Probably more than Junhyung too since he's not known to be the "serious leader"
Was excited when you got picked because he wants to mess with you so bad
Like obviously talks to you to make sure your comfort and after you say you're comfortable with kissing, all hell breaks loose
He'll put his hand against the wall behind you, getting closer as he shamelessly flirts with you
When he's closer to your face and you look down because your shy and you're blushing, he'll make you look at him and point out that you're blushing
Before kissing you before you can do anything, making you squeak
His hands would eventually come down and he'd wrap his arms around you waists, pulling you closer until you were pressed against him
Would probably be the only one to actually turn it into a mini make out, session mainly because he'd just love kissing you over and over again his lips tho and you'd run your hand through his long blond hair also his hair though, pls
Needless to say you're most likely gonna end up being his girlfriend after this
Kangsung
And now as we get into the younger members, most of these are going to be more on the cute side
And especially Kangsungs
He's so giggly when he got into the closet with you
He didn't know what to do he just knows he's happy
Probably asks you right away if he can kiss you on the lips
Super nervous when you say yes
Y'all will probably take like a minute trying to do it because when you get close you both just start laughing
Eventually though you wrap your arms around his neck and actually be serious
And he'll just smile as you wraps his arms around your waist and kisses your lips softly
Starts giggly again afterward, but you both stay together like this and he'll just periodically kiss you a few more times before y'all leave
Asks you on a date when you get out of the closet and you couldn't be happier to go on a date with this cute man ❤️
Junseong
I stand by my awkward af philosophy with Junseong
My man's tries to walk away to avoid doing it
He's at your disposal and he's dover heels for you so know that he has to kiss you with no warning he's the imbodiment of Nope™
You get kinda sad though when he's actively avoiding, thinking he doesn't like you
You guys are quiet when you get in the closet as he doesn't know what to say and you're upset
"We don't have to do anything if you don't want." You'd say
"Oh, are you sure? Because if you want to I'll be ok with it."
"Thought it seemed like you didn't like me though."
His heart sank when you said that and started assuring and defending himself that he does really really like you he's just awkward and nervous
He's red faced by the end if it seeing as he just confessed everything to you and you just smile at him
You grab his hands, peck he red cheek and hug him
Super relived and hugs you back and asks if he can actually kiss you
You both pull back and he pecks your lips gently
Happy baby boy
Prince
Tries to be cocky ass motherfucker but actually fails because he's also kinda awkward
He does like you and that's all he needs to know so he'll try his best
Knows he's gonna have to break the awkwardness before you get in so he starts to try and do that first thing
Doesn't really work so you're both left in silence for a few moments
Eventually speaks up "Can I just say I like you, a lot?"
You both smile at that "Can I kiss you then?"
You nod and he steps forward, kinda knowing what to do, settling to just grab your hands as he pressed his lips to your
Backs away laughing, but enjoyed every second of it
Probably doesn't ask you out until a few days after, just to make sure you don't hate him or anything
Of course you don't becuade you love him and he's adorable
Woojin
Mature boy, but is really happy
Is able to comfortly talk to you in the closet and does ask if you want to kiss because he does really like you
You like him too and you both agree and he's super happy
Not much to it honestly, he handles the situation well and makes sure your comfortable
Hands gently on your waist as he pecks your lips and smiles at you
You both have a nice conversation about going out sometime and him waiting to show you places
Gets excited about going to do something with you
All and all, just really mature a giddy about it all and you walk out holding hands
Taeseung
Baby boy-
So fucking happy and excited
Practically a dog just -> o(≧▽≦)o
Gets in the closet and notices your nervous and tries to ease your nerves
Loves seeing you laugh and just wants to axjsbwjdnwfheb
Says he's really happy your doing this and asks if he can hug you
You blush but agree
Tall baby boy engulfs you
So fucking happy omg-
Has your head in his chest as his arms are around you
You look up at him and he asks if he can kiss you
You nod and he kisses your nose, before he laughs at you before kissing your lips
Sweetest thing fucking ever-
Continues to hug you after you kiss, resting your noses together as you wait for the seven minutes to be up
Never wants this to end and ends up asking you out
Heart eyes for you, all day, everyday 😍
Jinwoo
Dies instead pt.2
Also tries to run away
But then feels bad so he goes back
His face is red the whole time and you're convinced he can't move from he stuff he looks
You actually make the first move and ask if he's ok and if he's comfortable with kissing
He doesn't know what to say but nods yes
You giggle at how nervous he is and peck his cheek
Seems like you broke a spell as he visibly relaxed and laughs it off
Asks if he can kiss you too
Kisses your cheek as well before going red again
Asks you out over text a little bit later
Good luck with this one lol

You probably have been asked this before and you probably are tired af of me but I was rereading the flicket about the pregnancy scare and was wondering if you would mind giving us a little insight of how things would have turned out to be if the test had been positive? If you are feeling it, of course!
If I had a dollar for every time someone said "You've probably been asked this before..." and it's a question that no one has ever thought to ask, I would not need to slave away as a redbull addict.
Ahh you, the creator of the Bridgerton Diaries cinematic universe? I could never be fed up of you.
An AU of an AU? Girl this is becoming my specialty.
(If you missed Anthony and Kate's pregnancy scare in the A Slamming Screen Door Verse it's here)
So now I guess here's the not scare?
Nausea of course, seemed to be constantly pushing at the back of Kate's throat these days, morning sickness seemed to bleed into all day, but really, that wasn't the reason why her stomach was heaving as she sat in Anthony's car outside her parent's house.
"We don't have to do this today, Katie." He said gently, squeezing her hand.
"We do." She said firmly, much more so than she felt. Unbuckling her seatbelt with a sigh. "I don't want them to think I'm keeping this from them. I'm not ashamed of it, Anthony."
And really, she wasn't. Maybe it was ridiculous, at 19, with your boyfriend just turned twenty a few months ago, to know how you were going to spend the rest of your life. Kate knew she would spend the rest of her life with Anthony Bridgerton, and from the minute she'd found out about the tiny life they'd created together she had wanted. Though she'd sat with Anthony and cried. Cried for the life they'd both have to give up, a future they'd never have now. Anthony had said, reasonably What do you want to do? no judgement, no expectations, as though this was really her choice to make. And as much as this wasn't the right time, wasn't the way she'd imagined them, very vaguely, starting a family, she'd known that it wasn't a mistake. As much as she strongly supported the right women had to do whatever they wanted with their bodies this was what she wanted to do with hers.
"I'm not ashamed either. I love you." Anthony said, the same soft smile he'd had on his face since he'd found out. She knew, no matter what the circumstances, he was thrilled to be a father, even if the argument still hung between them.
Anthony held her hand tightly as they walked to the front door, anxiety thrumming away as she pushed the door open.
"Peanut is that you?" Her Dad's voice called down the hall as soon as they were inside, her stomach rolling at the nickname, God knows how much longer he would want to call her that.
"Who else would it be Dad?" She called back, smiling anyway.
"Could have been your sister, she's at the library." Her Dad's gentle smile appeared in the doorway of the Kitchen. "Come on, Mary's making dinner." He wrapped his arms tightly Kate as she slipped into the kitchen, her heart aching, nerves rolling her stomach as she stepped aside.
"Anthony." He was greeted firmly, "Didn't know you were coming today." Her Dad said suspiciously, it was unusual, them being home at the same time, in term time. Kate could see the look that filtered between her Dad and Mary. They knew something was wrong already.
"Katie, sweetheart, sit down, you look pale. I'll make you a snack." Mary said, bustling around her with a tight hug. Anthony hovered anxiously behind her as she sat on the stool at the breakfast bar. Kate's stomach lurched at the thought of food.
"No Mary, I'm okay." She said gently, her voice wavering slightly as she clenched her fists at her sides. She could feel Anthony's hand on her back, soothing circles.
"I was visiting my parents anyway, Mr. Sheffield, just so happened that Katie was coming to Town anyway." Anthony lied smoothly.
"Is Edwina going to be home for dinner?" It wasn't what Kate was really asking. Will Edwina be home soon? But no one seemed to want to correct her. Mary was looking at her rather too astutely, the same way she'd had since Kate had been a little girl. Like being xrayed.
"She will be." Her father said gently, staring astutely at her. and then he seemed to sigh. "Katie if you're getting married. You can just tell us. I promise we'll be happy for you."
And jesus, of all the things he had to ask why did it have to be that? Anthony flinched behind her. He'd asked her, of course he had, because Anthony Bridgerton did the right thing, always. That included marrying his pregnant girlfriend. But as much as she'd wanted to pull him into her arms and cry Yes! She hadn't. Because the thought of having a ring on her finger just because he felt guilty was almost too much to bear. They'd had the biggest argument they'd ever had, both of them furious. "So you want to break up?!" "No! Of Course not!" "You just don't want to marry me?" He'd looked so hurt when he said it, his face burned into the back of her eyes. "I want to marry you more than anything but I don't want you to ask me out of guilt!" And he hadn't had a retort for that apparently. Just been left, holding the ring out towards her helplessly, tears streaming down his face.
Kate felt tears sting at her eyes at the memory now. "I'm not getting married." She managed to gasp out, Anxiety clawing at her stomach, clinging to the last moments when her Dad would look at her like she could do no worng, like she was important. Anthony hand was still firm on her back, as she gasped out "I am Pregnant though."
Mary gasp loudly, her hand covering her mouth, dinner abandoned. Her Dad's mouth dropped open, Surprised as silence engulfed the kitchen. She closed her eyes as the tears started to fall.
"I'm so sorry, Dad I know this isn't-" She felt arms wrap tightly around her, but they weren't Anthony's.
"Is that all, Peanut? We thought it was something serious."
Kate's eyes flew open, Her Dad was smiling gently down at her, tears in his eyes. Mary had Anthony in a death grip of a hug across the kitchen.
"I'm not saying the timing is ideal." He said pointedly, "But sweetheart, how could I ever be disappointed by a baby?" He said the word as though it was the most incredible thing. "Your child is going to be the most incredible child that's ever lived. Even if Anthony is the father." He jerked his head back in Anthony's direction, though he still had a grin on his face. Kate couldn't help the laughter that bubbled up in chest.
Anthony barely had it in him to look indignant as her father slapped him on the back.
"Now Anthony, son. Just because you're giving me a beautiful grandbaby does not mean I'm going to forgive you for that shirt. Disgusting mate." He said gesturing at Anthony's Star Wars> Star Trek shirt.

Art of Aardman
Tumblr media
I found myself a cheap copy of the Shaun the Sheep movie, so I was rewatching a bunch of Aardman films earlier this month and decided to hunt down some books too. For anyone that doesn’t know, Aardman is a British stop-motion studio that does fantastic work like Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Chicken Run, Early Man… tons of cool stuff. They’re always quirky and funny and warm-hearted. This was just a very nice art book for anyone that’s a fan of Aardman stop motion and wants to see a bit extra; it shows some cool concept art and blows up the neat details in Aardman work, especially in their intricate stuff like The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!
Asterix and the Picts (Asterix and the Chariot Race, and How Obelix Fell Into The Magic Potion)
Tumblr media
I decided to try a couple of the new Asterix comics that were done by the new team, just to see if they stand up to the old ones (that and How Obelix Fell Into The Magic Potion cause I’d never read that one before). They were pretty decent! Asterix and the Picts was my favourite of the two though I wouldn’t say either are going to contest for my favourite Asterix comic... but still! The art looks good and the stories felt like what I would expect, they made for a pleasant couple evenings of reading especially since it’s been so long since I’ve read a new Asterix comic. If you’ve never read Asterix it’s one of the biggest name French comic series in North America, as far as I know and very worth the read. It’s about a single Gaulish village that’s holding out against the invading Romans through sheer force of will, slapstick hijinks, and a magical super-strength potion brewed by their druid. Lots of fantastic visuals and cute wordplay, even in the English translations.
Bear
Tumblr media
I found out about this bastion of Canadian literature via tumblr post that was losing its collective mind over the fact that some bizarre bear-based erotica novella somehow won the most prestigious literary prize available in Canada. Since I too found this hilarious and unspeakably bizarre I had to give it a read, obviously. And yes, the flat surface level summary is... a librarian moves out into rural Ontario and falls in love with a literal for-real not-supernatural-not-a-joke bear. And I have to say… it is actually worthy of an award, which I was not expecting given that I was there for a laugh. It has beautiful writing, and the subtextual story is pretty interesting… it kind of makes me think of The Haunting of Hill House actually in terms of themes. (Womanhood, personhood, independence, autonomy partially achieved through escaping the male gaze by claiming non-human lovers... listen if I were still in university I would right a paper comparing the two novels).
I dunno man, it’s fucking weird. Actually a well-written book, but sure is about a woman falling in love with a literal bear. Give it a read if you want something bonkers but like… high-brow bonkers.
Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites
Tumblr media
Best book I have read in like… a while. A long while. I am not a fast reader, and I consumed 90% of this book over a weekend. It’s not at all like Terry Pratchett, but at the same time it scratched an itch for me that I haven’t had satisfied since Pratchett’s death. A very clever, hilariously funny poly romance between a disabled werewolf, an anxious vampire lord, and an incredibly powerful woman, with heaps of social satire, political commentary, and sinister undertones. The whole thing reads a bit like fanfiction and I say that in the most flattering way possible -- it is so easy to jump right in and be immediately taken over by the characters and the world and the plot, you never feel like you’re fighting to engage even though the world-building is fascinating and expansive. It welcomes you in right away, it was the book equivalent of a quilt and a hug which is something I sorely needed with all this pandemic bullshit. If you read any of the books on this list, go read that one while I sit here in pain waiting for the sequel.
Kid Paddle
Tumblr media
I watched the cartoon of Kid Paddle as a kid and was thinking about it recently, so I decided to hunt down some of the original comics online. They’re fun and weird, with a cute art style and fantastic monsters designs. (My favourites are always about Kid either daydreaming or playing games that involve Midam’s weird warty troll creatures. It’s like a cross between Calvin and Hobbes and Foxtrot with the fun sort of quirks that I love in Belgian comics. Unfortunately, unlike Asterix, I’ve only come across these ones in French, but if you can read French it’s totally worth popping over to The Internet Archive and reading the ones they have available.
Tumblr media
The Last Firehawk: The Golden Temple
Tumblr media
The lastest Firehawk book. Despite being written for quite young readers, I did enjoy the early books in this series quite a bit. They’re about a young owl and squirrel who found an egg for a magical species that was believed to be extinct. With the newly hatched firehawk, the three of them head off on a mission to find an ancient firehawk magic that could save the entire forest. Very basic adventure story but a good intro to the tropes for children. Unfortunately the quality really feels like it drops with each subsequent book; this will probably be the last one I bother reading.
Lumberjanes: The Moon Is Up
Tumblr media
I honestly think I enjoy these Lumberjanes novels even more than the comics just because it really gives time to delve into each story and examine how the camper are really thinking and feeling about everything. (Also I’m always weak for novelizations of anything.) The Moon Is Up is a book that focuses more on Jo, and takes place during the camp’s much anticipated Galaxy Wars, a competition between cabins that goes over several days. While the campers prepare for these challenges though, they also run into a strange little creature with a penchant for cheese and theft. Roanoke cabin needs to keep ahead in Galaxy Wars and somehow deal with the fearsome Moon Pirates that a closing in...
Lumberjanes v4 (Out Of Time)
Tumblr media
One of the Lumberjanes comics, a cool, girl-focused, queer comic series. Honestly, this is just a fun series that I never got as into as I should have. My advice is honestly to skip book one because it gets better as it continues, and I’ve really been enjoying the later books now that I’ve given it another go. It follows five campers at Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for Hardcore Lady Types (Jo, April, Molly, Mal, and Ripley) as they handle all sorts of challenges, from friendship to crushes, camp activities to supernatural horrors, getting badges to not being brutally killed. Great if you liked the vibe of Gravity Falls but want it to be queer-er.
Mooncakes
Tumblr media
Another queer graphic novel, but unfortunately not a very good one. It really looked appealing and I had high hopes, but the book itself really didn’t hold up… I actually couldn’t even finish it, the plot was just too… non-existent. The art is fairly mediocre once you actually look at it, especially backgrounds, and it feels very… placid. Not much conflict or excitement or even a very compelling reason to keep reading. If you just want a soft queer supernatural you may get more mileage out of it than me, but it didn’t really do it for me. There’s better queer graphic novels out there.
New Boy In Town
Tumblr media
One of the worst books I have ever read. My girlfriend had ordered a very different book online but through a frankly stupendous error was sent this 1980s pulp romance instead. Absolutely nauseating on levels I couldn’t even begin to enumerate here. Naturally we read the whole thing out loud. Probably took us 10 times longer to finish than it warranted because I had to stop every two sentences to lose my mind. If you like bad decisions, baffling hetero courting rituals, built-in cultural Christianity without actually calling it that, and gold panning then boy howdy is this the book for you.
(seriously, you better have patience for gold-panning if you attempt this one, because I sure learn that I don’t)
Piggies
Tumblr media
This was a picture book I enjoyed as a kid and had a reason to reread recently. Honestly it’s just very cute and simple, and the art is completely mesmerizing. Wonderful if you know a young child that would enjoy a simple goofy boardbook.
Shaun the Sheep: Tales From Mossy Bottom
Tumblr media
Related to my Aardman fascination earlier this month. I tried reading a varieties of Shaun the Sheep books — most of which are mediocre at best — but the Tales From Mossy Bottom Farm series is genuinely good. Just chapter books, of course, but the illustrations match the series’ concept art and each story feels like it could have jumped directly out of an episode. They’re just cute and feel-good! Kinda like Footrot Flats but more for kids, and from the sheep’s perspective moreso than the dog’s.

[cont. of LOVEBUG] help, jiyu!
ateez 9th member.
what went on in the boyz’s dorms after sunwoo and jiyu became official.
requested by a lovely anon <3 also, apologies for the really long wait in between updates and requests! :(
➴ masterlist
➴ taglist: @galacticstxrdust, @jiyeons-closet, @banhmi07, @jaeminpeachy
Tumblr media
“WAHH SUNWOO HAS A GIRLFRIEND NOW!”
“...WHAT?”
It was like lightning struck the dorm—everyone instantly shot up from their beds and practically stormed Sunwoo’s room. Changmin was staring wide-eyed at Sunwoo’s phone, whilst Eric was currently escaping Sunwoo’s wrath.
“Are we dreaming or did we hear Changmin say Sunwoo has a girlfriend?” Sangyeon sleepily muttered, rubbing his eyes to try and keep himself awake.
Changmin hopped off Sunwoo’s bed and showed the phone to the eight sleepy boys. “Look, look!” Upon Changmin’s excited yelps, they all leaned closer to the tiny device and read the messages. 
Out of the corner of his eye (as he was practically manhandling Eric), he saw all of their eyes widen and he instantly felt his stomach and sanity drop to his toes. He was in for a whole lot of questions, not to mention endless amounts of teasing. “Wait—”
Before he could explain himself, the boys erupted in shouts of awe, happiness, or just plain cringe from the amount of lovey-dovey messages. He sighed as his grip on Eric loosened. Eric took that chance to escape from Sunwoo. “You should be thanking me!” he fake glared. 
“For exposing my secret to her?!”
“For helping you!”
“Do you know what’s funny, though?” Hyunjae laughed as he scrolled back up to a particular part of the chat log. “Sunwoo was claiming that he would make the first move a while ago, but it turns out Jiyu did it first.”
Sunwoo snatched the phone away. “Leave me alone, at least it ended with us feeling mutual,” he smirked. Despite poking at his members, he still couldn’t believe it. It all felt like a fever dream, or something that his subconsciousness brewed up. He had pinched his arm multiple times before rereading the messages. And it never changed, he wasn’t dreaming.
“His back may be towards us, but I can tell Sunwoo has a really dreamy yet creepy smile on his face, someone take the phone away from him,” Chanhee pointed out. 
Younghoon quietly leaned over Sunwoo’s shoulder to peer at his phone, and he couldn’t help the giggle that escaped when he saw him scrolling up and down to reread the messages. Sunwoo whipped back, and seeing Younghoon’s face right by his shoulder, he immediately turned his phone off. 
“I haven’t seen him this excited since Road to Kingdom,” Younghoon teasingly laughed. 
“No, I definitely think he’s way more excited now,” Haknyeon added. “His ears are red.”
“Jiyu?”
All of their heads whipped to Eric, who had sneakily dialed Jiyu when they were so entranced with Sunwoo’s successful love confession. Sunwoo immediately dove towards Eric. “Are you kidding me right now, Eric?!”
Eric put Jiyu on speaker. “JIYU! YOUR BOYFRIEND’S TRYING TO MURDER ME!” he yelped as he started running away from Sunwoo for the second time that night.  
“Well no one told you to provoke him!” they heard Jiyu remark. “And why did you call me?”
“I was actually going to Facetime you so you could see what you did to Sunwoo, but judging from—AHH I’M SORRY SUNWOO!” The poor boy was tackled down onto the bed by Sunwoo, who grabbed a pillow and started wacking him with it. 
“I feel like we should help him, but it’s pretty amusing to watch,” Hyunjae commented. “It’s not often we see Sunwoo this flustered since he’s always the one teasing us.”
“JIYU, HELP!”
“HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO HELP, YOU DIMWIT! SUNWOO, WE TALKED ABOUT WHY WE WANT TO KEEP ERIC ALIVE!”
“NOPE, I DON’T REMEMBER!”
“...Guys, please lower your tone before we actually receive a noise complaint from the neighbors,” Kevin meekly advised, not wanting to be caught within their screaming matches. However, it was like his warning bounced off the two wrestling boys since they paid him no attention. 
“Well...I need to go since we have a recording schedule tomorrow, so...good luck Eric! I’ll check up on you and Sunwoo tomorrow morning if I get the chance! Bye!” Jiyu frantically hung up. 
Hearing the three rings indicating Jiyu had hung up, Sunwoo and Eric froze mid–pillow attack to stare at his phone. The others waited with bated breath for their next move, almost a little to eager.
“Again...you’re welcome,” Eric mumbled, praying that he wasn’t going to get smacked full force with the pillows once again.
Sighing, Sunwoo climbed off the bed and pinched his nosebridge. “Fine...just this one time...thanks,” he mumbled before running off back into his own shared room, closing the door, and locking it.
Staring after the shy boy, Chanhee smirked. “The tips of his ears were totally red.”
“He’s probably rereading the messages again and blushing,” Hyunjae theorized.
At that moment, Sunwoo was indeed rereading the messages while curled up underneath his covers and happily giggling to himself.
“Ahh, my two best friends are finally togeth—wait, that means I’m the third wheel?!”
“Eric, why did that take you so long to realize?” Jacob laughed.
Kevin incredulously stared at the closed door across the hall. “Can we talk about where I’m sleeping tonight if Sunwoo locked the door to our room?”
