#neyo is also very much not surprised at all

Holos #2

Ao3 version

Neyo yawned loudly. Like every time, he despised the morning’s early hours for depriving him of caff. 

He was grateful to Generals Stass Allie and Ki-Adi Mundi for organizing those joined leave breaks, when their battalions could meet on some deserted planet close enough from each other's positions. 

But land installments meant no personal caff machine. And the commissary wouldn't start serving breakfast until a few hours still. 

What wouldn't he sacrifice to see his ori’vod a handful of times more often ?

At least, it wasn't cold this morning. He wouldn't freeze in just his blacks. Neyo breathed out one last sight before putting on his boots and leaving his tent.

It didn't take him long to find Bacara. There really was only one place he could be this early. Neyo walked silently to the large tree his ori’vod had chosen for the day. Once seated next to him, the younger man flashed a few battle signs. No talking permitted at this time. 

“Sitrep ?”

“Clicking sound. Hear ? Lau bird.”

Neyo snatched his comm to check what this little fucker looked like. He didn't know a bird could imitate the sound of weak plastoid snapping so well. Right when he was checking the holonet for answers, a pointy elbow poked into his ribs. He looked back up with a scowl, ready to tell his brother where he could shove his elbow already, but was stopped by Bacara signing “Look !” while pointing in the direction of the canopy above their heads. 

A tiny, colorful bird flew gracefully in front of them. The blue wings catched the slowly rising sunlight in a rainbow of cheerful shades. It executed a few circles, each time smaller, before settling down on a bright green leaf the size of Neyo’s thigh. 

He could accept that this specimen was quite pretty. 

At his side, Bacara raised his own comm slowly, as to not frighten the bird, and took a holo.

That was new. 

The victorious and thrilled look on his ori’vod’s face kept Neyo from saying anything. It was their peaceful time after all, it would be a shame to break the quiet tranquility surrounding them so soon. 

He watched the little bird make its clicking sounds a few times before flying away again, comfortably settled, shoulder to shoulder with his ori’vod. 

–

A tenday later, the entire 91st Mobile Corps was knees deep into some sticky, foggy bog of nightmare. The mud was infiltrating absolutely everywhere. Neyo was damp, cold and all in all not having a good time.

So, when during a lunch break Ponds started smiling softly at his comm, it was deeply suspicious. Neyo leaned in his direction a little bit to check what was making his vod look like that. He got a glimpse of a holo of some pretty bird that definitely wasn’t native to this horror of a planet. It looked more like a desertic species, the like that could be found where Bacara was currently deployed. 

So that was what those holos were for, huh. 

@rooksunday thank you for the bird watcher Bacara headcanon :D I love it !

[vodika-vibes]

I want to say that Neyo would be aggressive lover. Jealous, overbearing, controlling, etc.

I bring this up in the hopes of possibly getting a fic for that man. Maybe fucking behind the 79's bar after the F!reader dances or talks to another clone far to comfortably.

More Than You Know

Summary: A night of dancing at 79s ends early when your boyfriend, who recently returned from his deployment, catches you dancing with one of his brothers.

Pairing: Commander Neyo x F!Reader

Word Count: 1120

Warnings: Smut

Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni

A/N: Honestly, I had the hardest time writing this morning, nothing was giving me inspiration, so I hope you like it even if it's not what you were expecting.

When Neyo, your boyfriend, asked you to commit to him and him alone, you knew what you were getting into. You knew that you were signing up for long months alone, only able to talk to him via comm, and you knew that you wouldn’t always know where he was.

You agreed anyway.

Your friends think you’re insane. If you were going to pick a clone, you should at least pick one that’s always around, not one that is deployed all of the time.

But Neyo is Neyo and you’re pretty sure you love him.

And he’s at least fond enough of you that he makes time to comm you every day. 

It’s enough for you.

It’s not for your friends.

Which brings you to now, your friends dragged you to 79s and pushed you at the first person who looked interested in dancing. Honestly, you’re not much of a dancer, but in some cases, it’s better to give in to your friends' nagging rather than trying to fight them.

He’s a good dancer, even if he’s not the person you want to be dancing with. You’re pretty sure that Neyo would call him a shiny since he doesn’t have any paint on his armor.

So maybe you’re taking pity on him too.

He seems to be having a good time, so you’re surprised when your dance partner blanches grey and hurries away. 

You’re much less surprised when a strong arm hooks around your waist and you’re spun around to look up at the unimpressed face of Neyo. Unimpressed and very unhappy.

“Neyo!” In comparison to his dour expression, your entire face lights up when you see him, “You’re back!”

Some of the ice in his gaze thaws when he sees just how excited you are to see him, “You weren’t at home.”

“My friends don’t like you, you know that. But if I had known that you were returning—” You babble, not out of nerves, but because you can’t help but talk a lot when he’s around.

“So you decided to dance with a shiny?”

“Well, less decided and more that I was shoved at him,” You admit, your hand reaching up to touch a new scar on his cheek, “But you’re here now! So I can dance with you!”

Neyo searches your face for a moment, and then his gaze slides to the side. You’re not sure what he’s looking at, but a small smirk lifts his lips, “I don’t know, ad’ika,” He almost purrs as his grip on your hip tightens in a way that has your breath stuttering from excitement, “You were dancing with someone else. Maybe you need to be reminded why you picked me.”

You flash him a curious look, pretty sure that you know what he’s implying, but also knowing Neyo well enough by now to know that he’s not about to try anything on the dancefloor.

In his opinion, the only person allowed to see you anything other than fully dressed is himself, barring some very specific circumstances.

He leans in and catches your lips in a promising kiss that sends delighted chills down your spine. “Neyo,” You sigh his name, helpless in the face of the man you love more than anything in this galaxy or any other.

His smirk becomes slightly smug, directed at someone over your shoulder rather than at you. Then, effortlessly, he guides you off the dancefloor and down a dimmed hallway.

A dimmed and largely empty hallway.

For a moment, you think he’s going to start tugging your clothes out of the way here, in the hallway.

But really, you should have known better, as he guides you into an unlocked storage room, and then quickly locks the door and jams something against it so it can’t be opened until he wants to open it.

There’s not a lot of light in the storage room, but there’s enough that you can see the look on his face. It’s both possessive and needy, and you can’t help but fling your arms around his neck to pull him into a kiss.

Neyo easily takes control of the kiss and walks you backward until your back bumps against the cool wall. “Needy little thing, aren’t you?” He breathes against your lips.

You whine, “Missed you,”

He smirks at you and roughly nips your lower lip, pulling another whine from your lips, “Prove it. Turn around, pull up your skirt, and take off your panties.”

Immediately you do as he asks, easing your underwear down your legs and over your feet, and then turning and hiking your skirt up so he has access to your ass and pussy.

Neyo’s hand lands heavily on your ass, pulling a gasp from you. And then that gasp morphs into a moan as his strong fingers dip between your thighs to roughly circle your clit.

“You’re already so wet,” Neyo muses as he adds pressure to your clit as he rubs quick little circles around the sensitive nub, “Did you get wet while dancing with my brother?” He asks.

You rapidly shake your head in the negative.

He growls and bites down on your neck, roughly enough that you know that there is already a bruise, “Use your words.”

“It’s you,” You gasp, “Only you. Only ever you, please Neyo.”

He chuckles and kisses the bruise with surprising tenderness, “Do you need my cock, ad’ika?”

“Yes—” You gasp as you clench around nothing.

“Maybe I should fill you will my cum,” He murmurs as he shifts so that his finger pushes deep inside you suddenly, “Let it leak out of you while we’re still here. Make sure that your friends,” There’s something acidic in his voice when he says the word, “know that you are mine.”

“Neyo,” His name is a whine, “I need you. Please, please?” You have no shame when it comes to him, and you both know it.

He kisses your shoulder, and then your neck, “You have me, ad’ika. I’m right here.” His voice sounds almost soft, even as he keeps up the rough way that he’s fingering you.

Blindly, you reach behind you and thread your fingers through his curls, holding onto him in an attempt to keep him close.

“Once you cum for me, ad’ika, we can go home.” Neyo promises, “And I’ll spend all night reminding you why you’re mine.” He presses himself firmly against your back, his lips moving to your ears as he starts murmuring all of the things that he’s going to do with you as soon as he has you alone.

And, even in the throes of bliss, on the verge of your orgasm, you still can’t wait.

After all, you love him.

Happy Fandom Friday!

Clone Humping Art* (@pinkiemme): Emme started a new series and it’s one you don’t want to miss. I’m linking Howzer because he is SO beautiful. The shadow of his V-line and the way his muscles are flexing—it’s all around delightful. (And her other artworks are just as stunning.)

Five-Oh-Thirst* (@deejadabbles): A fun, flirty one-shot showcasing Fives and Kix’s attempts at lap dances. The way Deeja writes both Fives and Kix is so attractive. And the fact she managed to write lap dancing so sensually is amazing.

Wolffe Drabble* (@littlemissmanga): Beth did such a wonderful job at portraying Wolffe as both sweet and caring while maintaining his assertive personality. I love when clones dote on their partner, and Wolffe’s interaction with a self-reliant Reader was incredibly well-written.

Fox Drabble (@wild-karrde): This was such a delight to read. From the teasing and flirting to Fox’s sarcastic, deadpanned personality, you captured Fox splendidly. He had so many one-liners that had me chuckling, and the banter alone made this so enjoyable.

Everybody Hates Neyo* (@dystopicjumpsuit): This was HOT. From the hate sex to the biting, DJ has written Neyo in such a domineering yet enticing way. He’s arrogant and full of himself but also a tiny bit soft (emphasis on tiny). There’s a nice little surprise at the end that’s the cherry atop this one-shot.

*18+ content

HAPPY FANDOM FRIDAY INDEED. WHOOOOOOO BOY YOU BOUGHT THE SPICE THIS WEEK ALLI!

These are all such GREAT picks (and I am so very flattered that my Fox Drabble got included with them). The variety is *chef’s kiss*. I SALUTE YOU FOR THIS LIST! Thanks so much for sending all these recs in!!!!

Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

For Neyo/Ponds if you have any thoughts, please 20. Who holds a grudge the longest? 27. What random everyday object/activity makes them think of each other? 31. What’s the relationship like? Smooth? Rocky? 32. How do they resolve their arguments? 33. Who has the most nightmares and how do they deal with them? (Sorry for the many q's, I am just very intrigued by this pairing)

I am also very intrigued by this pairing. They're on my list to write more of, but my to write list is just so long.

20. Who holds a grudge the longest?

Ponds has learned from growing up with Fox and Cody to let a lot of stuff go pretty easily. He’s got enough on his plate without carrying grudges around. 

Neyo doesn’t really care about anyone’s personal opinions of him (Ponds aside) but he does take professional incompetence very seriously. If you fuck up at your job he is going to remember that, and he’s going to act accordingly.

27. What random everyday object/activity makes them think of each other?

Neyo gets hyper fixated on stupid space mobile games. I don’t know why my brain decided this, but that’s what’s happening. He is scary good at them (professional gamer AU when????) and spends a lot of his downtime on them. 

So Ponds can’t see anything like that without being reminded of Neyo.

Neyo compartmentalises. He tries not to think of Ponds while he’s on duty, but Ponds hates having to read shoddy paperwork (he does however love getting to complain about having to read shoddy paperwork) so Neyo will send him ridiculously censored copies (he takes rules about confidentiality very seriously) of shit he finds in the stuff he reads. 

31. What’s the relationship like? Smooth? Rocky?

I think surprising everyone it’s pretty smooth. I’m sure the beginning was rocky, while they were figuring out exactly how to get what they both wanted from their relationship, but I also like them having been together for a long time, since they were the equivalent of 15-16ish. And look, relationships at that age are just a little messier. 

32. How do they resolve their arguments?

I don’t actually think they fight that much, but when they do I think they’re both in a really good spot because of all the little negotiating their early relationship too to very much externalise the problem and treat dealing with is as a problem solving issue they need to work together on. 

They also just communicate very well. Neyo doesn’t really like shuffling around issues. He’ll say what he means with no hidden meanings. Once Ponds figures that out, as long as he can match that straightforwardness they can talk through stuff pretty easily. 

33. Who has the most nightmares and how do they deal with them?

I think they both have their fair share. 

If I’m kind and let Ponds survive that shit with Boba I think that really rattles him. Ponds has learned that being very direct with Neyo if he needs somethign is the way to go. Neyo isn’t great at comforting people in general, but if Ponds is like, I need you to touch me, or I need you to talk to me, about literally anything, that’s something Neyo can do. Sorry, Ponds, I hope Neyo telling you about his requisition reports are what you needed right now.

Neyo won’t acknowledge there’s a problem at all. Clones are the perfect soldiers. Perfect soldiers don’t have nightmares. He’s a clone, therefore he doesn’t have nightmares.

(If sometimes he accesses Pond’s vitals via his HUD and watches them in the middle of the night that’s unrelated..)

bacara or neyo going soft for babies🥺🤧

Bacara and Neyo going soft over Neyo's newborn

Neyo X reader //FLUFF//

YESS!! I wanted to do both with headcanons.... but then I remembered I wrote a fic about Neyo with a pregnant reader…...So why give that a second part!! Bacara is included as the cool uncle of course! I couldn’t leave him out lol

Part one

Notes: Please read my headcanons on Neyo and Bacara that are on my masterlist.

Warnings: I don’t know much about babies so if anything is incorrect I’m sorry. Also this is short...I’m willing to add more parts if y'all would like…… ;)

When you walked into your Coruscant apartment you were beyond surprised. Your lover Neyo sat on the couch with your newborn daughter, his brother sitting beside him. You didn’t know Bacara was coming over today.

“Ah Bacara….Good to see you.” The clone nodded at you, him and Neyo both grinning. Bacara was holding your sleeping daughter, that grin still on his face. “She’s adorable huh?” You spoke as you unpacked your groceries in the kitchen.

“Very.” Bacara’s rough voice said. Neyo chuckled as he gently traced a finger along your daughter's cheek. The big rough clone commanders were clearly in love with the little baby girl.

Not that you could blame them.

“Well I’m going to make some dinner.” Neyo and Bacara both heard you, but they didn’t reply. They were too busy with your daughter. You rolled your eyes playfully. Usually clones were all over the idea of food.

Both of them gasped when the baby woke up with an adorable yawn, rubbing her eyes with balled up fists. “Hi..” Bacara spoke to the little girl. The baby only squinted, not able to see too well just yet.

Neyo grinned at his brother, “I think she likes you.” Bacara nodded, “Well she better! I’m gonna be her favorite.” Neyo snorted at that, rolling his eyes. You laughed from the kitchen, trying to focus on the food.

“I’m going to be her favorite for a while you guys. I feed her.” Bacara and Neyo both glared at you, frowns on their faces. You laughed harder, their faces were priceless.

“Now go put her down. She should be sleeping and dinner is almost ready. So come eat!” Both of the big bad ass commanders pouted at that. They weren’t ready to put down the sweet little girl quite yet.

Bacara handed her off to Neyo after pressing a kiss to her forehead. Neyo walked to her sling that was in the living room, putting her down and tucking her in. Bacara and Neyo both watched her for a moment, waiting until she fell asleep.

Once she was asleep again they walked into the kitchen, still pouting a bit.

“Such badasses.” You grin at your lover, Neyo scoffing. He kissed your cheek, “The baddest in the GAR...eh?” He fist bumped Bacara, you couldn’t help but roll your eyes.

Cody/Rex

Rating: G

Warnings: mentions of Point Rain, canon typical violence, disgustingly cute happy ending

Ao3 link

           Geonosis was just as awful as every vod had ever described. It was hot and dusty, of course, but Cody didn’t really care about any of that.  It was the number of brothers he’d lost on the way to Point Rain, the hundreds more killed by the bugs and their weaponry, on top of all the droids that seemed to come in never-ending waves.

           Cody and the rest of the 212th were going to join General Mundi and the 21st Nova Marine Corps on the other side of the planet while Rex and his men worked with Gree and the 41st under General Unduli.  They would be taking on the enormous droid factory the next day, and Cody would not be able to help any of them.  He would have his own mission to run.

           There were hundreds of vod’e all over the fortified base they’d managed to find and set up camp in.  Brothers from all four battalions mingled and shared increasingly exaggerated stories.  Cody had spotted Corporals Fives and Echo talking to some boys from the 21st, and he’d seen the medics fussing over the injured vod’e and generals.  But there was no sign of Cody’s cyare.

           “Lieutenant!” Cody called to 2nd Lieutenant Jesse of the 501st.

           Jesse snapped off a sharp salute.  “Sir!”

           “At ease, Lt.  Have you seen Rex around recently?” Cody asked.

           Thinking for a moment, Jesse slowly nodded.  “I think I saw him over by the remaining gunships, sir. He was talking to General Skywalker about half an hour ago.”

           Cody nodded and clapped the trooper on his shoulder. “Thanks.  Make sure you take some time to rest, Lt.  We’re in for a rough campaign.”

           “Of course, sir.  You do the same and see if you can get Rex to sleep, too.”

           As Cody walked away, he chuckled to himself.  Little brothers were getting uppity.  At the start of the war, there was no way any trooper, let alone one from a different battalion, would have talked to him so casually.  It was a testament to how well the men of the 501st were relaxing around their Jedi and learning how to be something besides soldiers.  It was nice.

           Cody prayed to whatever gods watched over clones bred for war that Rex hadn’t gone back up to the Resolute already.  He needed to see Rex and make sure his cyare was alright. Too many vod’e were walking wounded, and even more were severely injured or dead.  As much as he knew it was a real possibility, Cody did not want to ever consider a reality where Rex marched on ahead of him.

           “Hey, Commander!” Commander Tano chirped from out of nowhere.  She smiled up at him with bright eyes that hadn’t been weighed down by war yet.  She still had hope and Cody prayed that she would never lose that.  Yet another thing he prayed for to unknown gods.

           “Hello, Commander.”  Cody dodged a pair of vod’e carrying a crate full of supplies and glanced down at Commander Tano.  “Can I help you with something?”

           “Jesse said you’re looking for Rex?  I know where he is!  But we have to hurry before my Master pulls him away again.”

           If Commander Tano was willing to help him find Rex, Cody was definitely not going to say no.  Especially after the massacre they’d just faced.  “Thank you, Commander,” he said, warm affection warming his chest briefly. “I appreciate it.”

           Commander Tano waved away his thanks.  “It’s no problem.  I get it.  Master Skywalker practically ran to Master Kenobi’s side as soon as we got here, and I know Jesse went to go find a batchmate of his from the 41st. Sometimes, you just need to make sure everyone’s alive.”

           “That is very wise, Commander,” Cody said.  He really shouldn’t be surprised, but in his mind, the Commander was just so young.  She shouldn’t have insights into how war worked, and why they needed time to recuperate after a bad battle, if only to reassure themselves that their loved ones made it out alive or to mourn the ones that hadn’t.

           There were far too many mourning vod’e.

           “I have a great teacher,” Commander Tano said with a warm smile.  “Rex said you taught him a lot of what he knows and he’s been passing some of that down to me.  It’s helped me in some tough situations, so I should be thanking you, Commander.”

           “No thanks necessary, Commander,” Cody managed to say without choking or giving away his emotions.  Not that it probably mattered since Jedi were attuned to the people around them.  Only General Kenobi had ever thanked him for anything, and Cody was convinced that his General would thank Ventress after she stabbed him with her saber.  Karking di’kutla jetti.

           “Anyway, Rex is over in that tent, hopefully taking a nap. Coric was threatening him earlier with sedation, so he might have followed through on that threat.”

           And with that, Commander Tano skipped away, most likely to terrorize some poor shiny who wouldn’t know how to deal with an overly friendly shiny Jedi Commander. Cody privately wished he had a holo of their flailing.  It would provide some good laughs in the future.

           Cody strode over to the tent Commander Tano had pointed out, and knocked on the frame.

           “Come in,” Rex called and something inside of Cody’s chest loosened.

           He undid the fastenings and stepped inside, taking his bucket off immediately.  Rex was sitting on the cot, a datapad in his hands, likely going over the initial casualty reports for the battle.  Most importantly, he was very much alive.

           “Rex,” Cody gasped out with a strangled breath.

           Rex jerked at his voice and then a second later, Cody had his arms wrapped around his cyare, breathing him in as he held on as tight as he could.

           “Cody!  You’re okay!” Rex said.  He pulled back to give Cody a sharp look.  “You are okay, right?”

           “Yes, I am.  I didn’t end up getting injured.  That was purely my General,” Cody said, trying for some dry humor but it fell flat in the face of their combined relief.  “What about you?  I heard you got thrown off a wall?”

           “Karking Fives and Echo,” Rex growled.  “General Skywalker and Ahsoka caught me, so I wasn’t hurt.  Nothing beyond a few bumps and bruises.”

           Cody ran his eyes over Rex’s body, as though that would tell him if Rex was hiding any injuries with the armor in the way.  Once he verified that there wasn’t any gaping hole or crack in Rex’s armor, Cody dropped his helmet to the ground and pulled Rex into a bruising kiss.  His cyare responded eagerly, clinging desperately to the hard, sharp planes of Cody’s armor.  There was no finesse, no sweetness in the kiss.  Just pure, heady relief and a desperation to prove that they really survived.

           Rex gripped Cody’s hair tightly with one hand, the other wrapping around his waist to pull him as close as their armor would allow. He sucked on Cody’s bottom lip and gently nibbled before letting go and pressing his head against Cody’s in a soft keldabe.

           “I was so worried when we heard that most of your gunships went down, including General Kenobi’s.  You’re usually flying with him.”

           “We decided to split our forces.  It was a really close call a few times, but we made it.  We both made it,” Cody answered.  He was shaking from relief at having Rex in his arms, alive and unharmed.  Nothing would ever be able to beat that heady feeling of overwhelming gratitude to whatever gods were listening.  They’d listened to at least one of his prayers today.

           “Stay alive tomorrow,” Cody demanded after a moment of just breathing each other in.  “That factory is going to be really dangerous.”

           “I know.  Gree is a solid vod, though.  He’ll have my back and I’ll have his.  Plus, we have the Jedi to help keep us safe.”

           Cody very carefully didn’t think about the many times General Skywalker had gotten men killed by doing something reckless or stupid. The R2 droid was not important enough to sacrifice his padawan, Rex, and three other men to General Grievous.  Out of four, only Rex and Denal had made it back, and Commander Tano had nearly been killed by Grievous when she kept Grievous from killing Rex, all for a droid.  Cody was skeptical, but he also had faith in Commander Tano and General Unduli and her padawan.  They’d protect the men while Skywalker handled whatever crazy idea he had.

           “We will be safe,” Rex said, giving Cody a shake. “While you’re off with the Marines, you should talk to Bacara.  They’re out of contact with most of the GAR.  Only Neyo and Jet can get through the blockades to deliver supplies and intelligence to Nova.”

           A frown carved the worry lines on his face deeper as Cody absorbed that information.  “I’ll talk to him.  See what we can do,” Cody swore.

           Rex nodded.  “Good.  He’ll keep you alive.  Bacara already told me he’s planning on sharing all of my embarrassing ARC training stories to you while you’re on campaign together.”

           Cody grinned.  “I’ve been trying to pull those out of Neyo, Keeli, Thorn, and Thire for ages now.  And Bacara’s the one to spill the beans?”

           Rex grumbled and buried his face against the crook of Cody’s neck.  “He said I don’t have enough blackmail material on him to keep him from blabbing. He also said I don’t scare him because, and I quote, “I’m as terrifying as a sleepy baby nexu cub buried in a pile of nip”.”

           “That—is strangely accurate,” Cody choked out, laughing at Rex’s offended growl.  “You’re a little prickly, but everyone knows you’re just a softy.  I mean, you’ve been teaching Commander Tano what I taught you?”

           His cyare shrugged.  “She’s in the middle of a war, and she doesn’t have the training we do. I don’t want to see her die when I could have prevented it.  Nor do I want to see my vod’e die because she makes a bad decision.  I’m giving her all the tools she’ll need to be successful and survive this war.”

           “You’ve adopted her.”  Cody couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before.  Rex had always loved with all his heart, as evidenced by the numerous vod’e who loved him unconditionally.  Of course, Commander Tano would have made the list.  “If she’s yours, then she’s mine, too,” Cody said. “We’re in this together.”

           Rex finally peeked his head back out from where he’d hidden it against the small sliver of skin on Cody’s neck.  “Really?”

           Cody didn’t hesitate.  He nodded and bumped their foreheads together.  “I promise.”

           For the first time since their first kiss, Cody had the amazing opportunity to see Rex completely and totally flustered.  He blushed bright red, sputtering and coughing as he tried to find something to say.

           It took a few minutes for Rex to completely compose himself and then it was Cody’s turn to be flustered.  “Are you asking me to be your riduur?”

           “What?” Cody spluttered.

           For a second, Rex faltered.  But then he squared his jaw and firmed his spine as if he was facing the worst of odds in a battle.  “We are one when together.  We already do that, and have done that since we were cadets.  We are one when apart.  At this point, I don’t think there’s anything that could separate us, even when we’re fighting on opposite ends of the galaxy.  We share all.  We tell each other everything.  You said it yourself.  What’s mine is yours, too.  We will raise warriors.  We are raising Ahsoka together, since we share all.  Not to mention all of our men that we’ve both trained since this war started. If that doesn’t count, I don’t know what would.

           “So, are you asking me to be your riduur?”

           As Rex laid out each point, Cody found himself agreeing. He and Rex were already married, they just hadn’t said the vows to each other yet.  And honestly, there wasn’t a better time than now.  Cody would rather be married to the love of his life for a few hours, then never have married him and watched him die in battle.

           “Yes, Rex of Torrent.  I am asking you to be my riduur,” Cody said, determination in every cell of his body.

           Rex lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Cody, bringing their foreheads together.  “Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar’tome, mhi me’dinui an, mhi ba’juri verde,” Rex swore fervently, his whole heart bared for Cody to see.

           “Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar’tome, mhi me’dinui an, mhi ba’juri verde,” Cody echoed the vow, offering Rex his heart with every breath.

           They shared the same space for a moment, pressing into the keldabe more firmly before their lips brushed together.  Like a firework had been set off in his bones, Cody tugged Rex into a passionate, over-whelming kiss that stole their breath away.  He could feel his heart swelling with the amount of love he felt for Rex, bursting out from behind the dam he kept on his emotions most days.  It rolled over him until the only thing he could think of was that Rex was alive, in his arms, and that they were now married.  What more could Cody care for in that moment?

           Eventually, air became a necessity, and they broke away from each other to breathe.  Rex gave a soft chuckle.  “You do realize that means you’re going to have to adopt Ahsoka, too, right?”

           “YES!  I get two dads AND Cody has to call me by my name now!”

           “Shh, they can hear you, Soka.”

           “Oops!  Everyone scatter!”

           Cody laughed.  His heart couldn’t contain the joy he felt, and he would carry that joy throughout the war as a hopeful flame for when they could all have peace again. But in that moment, he had all night with his riduur, and Cody planned on making the most of it.

Alpha-17 back on Kamino, taking Anakins suggestion and helping the clones come up with names and describing what working with jedi will be like. Also i like the idea of the clones asking why he SO scarred and hes like now thats a good story and watch out for general kenobi he gets into stuff and only after they meet him and anakin are they like "Oh now i get it."

Anon! I got SO. EXCITED. when I got this! Alpha is such a great character and I really enjoy working with him. Thanks for the prompt! I hope it hits everything you asked for. :) 

Kamino is… even worse than he remembers, quite honestly. If not for the verd’ike, Alpha would be more than tempted to burn the place to the ground and be done with it. 

(It’s not the first time the thought has ever crossed his mind, and it’s certainly not the last.)

But at least he doesn’t have to deal with Kenobi or Skywalker anymore. 

Which is a plus, all things considered. Rattatak had been rough, to put it lightly - much more so than he’d let on, partly to ward off potential concern from Kenobi and partly because he refuses to admit it to himself.  

Of course, he’s traded the Jedi for a batch of cadets who are entirely too boisterous for their own good. Kenobi is still stuck with Skywalker as far as he knows, and sometimes he can’t help wondering who got the better deal.

(Then again, knowing Kenobi, he’d be all too happy to spread some osik about serenity and inner balance or something equally revolting.)

Alpha suspects it’s a product of Jango’s teaching that he’d initially headed into this assignment with high expectations for the command batch. In retrospect, he can’t for the life of him fathom where he’d acquired that notion - every single cadet under his command is the embodiment of chaos with a healthy disrespect for authority. 

He’s not one to talk, but as an officer - and a recently promoted officer at that - he feels that it’s his duty to try to uphold the command structure of the GAR. 

Still, he can’t help feeling a sense of grim satisfaction whenever one of the di’kute fires back a retort at the Kaminiise or one of the nat-born instructors. Normally any deviant behavior would be smothered for fear of reconditioning, but the Kaminiise know better than to cross him. He’s one of Jango’s, after all. 

Fett may have been a rotten father, but Alpha has a grudging respect for the man’s ability to keep them all in line for twelve years. Wrangling these cadets is exhausting; he can only be grateful that they’ll be rotated out in a few months. 

(Truthfully, he hasn’t been able to shake a sense of bone-deep fatigue since Rattatak, but that’s no one’s business but his own.) 

No one could ever accuse him of going easy on his cadets, but even he knows that every soldier needs a break sometimes. Taking a second to breathe does wonders for morale. 

Unfortunately, it also invites the possibility of conversation with the verd’ike. He’s never been as inclined to idle conversation like many of his brothers, but he’s pleasantly surprised when the rambunctious boys he’s slowly becoming accustomed to prove to be much more insightful than he’d previously imagined.

He indulges their curiosity some days. More often than not their interest lies with the Jedi they’ll be serving with soon enough, so he does his best to share an adequate depiction. They’re not omnipotent tactical masterminds like the clones had been raised to believe, Alpha warns, but they’re decent officers for the most part. 

“You served with General Kenobi, didn’t you, sir?” one of the cadets asks. 

Alpha barely suppresses the first sarcastic remark that comes to mind and instead settles for a nod and a noncommittal shrug. 

“And?” one of the other boys pipes up. 

“And what?” 

“What did you think of him?”

Well, for one thing, he’s a kriffing Jedi playing at being a politician while having at least one affair that’s strictly forbidden by his creed… 

“He’s a good officer,” Alpha says at last. “Gets a bit high-minded, and we rarely ever saw eye to eye, but he listens to his men.”

He’s been sure to drill that into them over and over, because if there’s one thing he wants them to retain it’s that soldiers will follow a commander into hell if he makes an effort to connect with them. 

“What really happened on Rattatak?” 

The question catches him off guard. For a second he has half a mind to deflect it - it’s a long story, for one thing, and an unpleasant one at that - but these cadets will be shipping out soon. He’ll have little say in things once they deploy, but he can certainly do his best to prepare them now. 

Besides, Alpha can’t fault them for wanting to explore the galaxy beyond Kamino through any outlet available. Being slated for a command slot can be isolating, and they’ve heard enough about the galaxy from older troopers to be ravingly curious about what awaits them once they step foot outside Tipoca. 

“It’s really not that interesting,” he sighs in a last-ditch effort to deter them. 

Sadly, they seem content to wait him out. 

Shabla cadets and their shabla games. 

Grumbling - they look far too smug for having secured such a minor victory - Alpha opts to give them a vague overview rather than a meticulous account of everything that had taken place after Ventress had seen fit to interfere on Jabiim. 

“The campaign on Jabiim was tipping in Separatist favor…” 

_____________________

Skywalker may be a pain in the shebs, but Alpha is coming to realize that the kid had a point about naming the cadets. It hadn’t been much of a priority among the Alpha batch, but it seems to be something extraordinary for the later generations. 

Most times, the kids don’t tell Alpha directly that they’ve chosen a name for themselves; rather, he learns to listen to the quiet discussions between squad mates, and makes a point of using those names rather than the designations they’d been assigned at birth.

Sometimes a cadet’s delight gets the better of him and he blurts it out during an exercise. Alpha rarely reacts in the moment, but he makes sure to give an acknowledgement when they’re off-duty. 

After a while, their names spring to mind before their numbers. Cody, Bacara, Gree… he still can’t determine what exactly the change signals, but he can see it in their eyes. It’s a source of pride, and who is he to deny them? 

Besides, he thinks wryly, it’s better than an unruly Padawan deciding to bestow a nickname upon them in the middle of a war zone.

______________________

The cadets seem to be under the impression that stories from the battlefield will become a regular fixture in their routine. Alpha doesn’t let that notion stand very long, but he occasionally allows their questions after a successful exercise or a particularly impressive sparring match. 

They’ve gotten even bolder since he first took command; apparently, no question is off limits. 

“You’ve got an awful lot of scars, sir,” one of the boys observes. From the tone, Alpha guesses it’s Bly. 

“Very astute, cadet,” Alpha huffs. “I’m glad my training isn’t wasted on you.” 

“Are they all from Rattatak?” 

“For one thing, I honestly don’t remember how I got every single scar, and for another, I’m not here to tell you stories,” Alpha says firmly like he hasn’t spent the past twenty minutes addressing their various questions about his experience with Jedi command. 

“It’s General Kenobi, isn’t it,” Cody pipes up sagely, and in that moment Alpha realizes he’s taught them a little too well. 

“He had something to do with most of them, yes,” Alpha admits. 

“Some officer,” Neyo mutters with his usual cynicism. 

Alpha cuffs him. “Put a lid on it, cadet. I didn’t say they were his fault - it’s just that he was usually involved in one way or another. Kenobi likes to poke his nose in where it isn’t necessarily wanted.”

Most of them look disbelieving. Alpha just shrugs. They’ll figure it out one way or another.

_____________________

Alpha jerks awake sometime around 0300 to the incessant beeping of his comlink. Grumbling to himself, he activates it and rumbles a greeting.

“Hope I didn’t wake you up, sir.” 

“You’re lucky I’m not in theater, or I would smoke your shebs for this one, Cody,” Alpha growls, because even though it’s been a while since the first batch rotated out he vividly remembers every cadet’s distinct inflection and tone. 

“We’ve heard that one before,” Cody says teasingly.

Alpha ignores the jibe. “Spit it out, di’kut.”

Cody hesitates, then bursts out, “How did you do it?”

“Do what?” Alpha asks, awake enough to be puzzled.

“Deal with Kenobi,” Cody whispers. Alpha can’t help being amused by the desperation in his voice. “He’s a disaster on legs, sir.”

“That’s nothing I didn’t know already, al’verde,” Alpha informs him.

“But sir…” 

“You’re the commander. He’s your problem now,” Alpha adds, thoroughly enjoying himself.

“Alpha…”

“Give the general my regards, Commander.” 

“Wait - ”

 “Sorry, al’verde. Duty calls.”

If Alpha is smirking when he sets aside his comlink and shuts his eyes in the hopes of getting a few more hours of sleep, no one is the wiser.

[themagnusbane]

I was tagged by @softmagnusbane. Thanks Jay!!!!

What is your name? Itenoria, but you can call me Noria

How old are you? 26

What kind of blog do you run? A mess. Hahahaha. I blog about a lot of things, but mostly shadowhunters (I hope). Honestly, my blog’s a mess of the different things that I like.  

What is your biggest nerdy obsession? I used to be a huge Naruto nerd. I read the manga, saw the anime, usually read the manga raw (raw being the lingo for untranslated) on Wednesday (even though I could’t read Kanji) went on all the online communities to read theories and then read the newly translated chapter on Friday and watched the new episode on Monday. I still collected wallpapers, wrote fanfiction, read fanfiction, had all the opening and closing songs (that was how I got into J-pop tbh) I was Naruto trash. Until... Masashi Kishimoto decided to rip out my heart and leave me bleeding and dead. So now the only big nerdy obsession for me are books, they will always be my number one obsession. I geek out over books, standalones, series, everything honestly. Oh, and Shadowhunters.

Who is your favourite character of all time? Easy, Magnus Bane.  

What is your favourite book of all time? Damn, like that’s hard yo, cuz damnnnn, I have a lot, so I will go with my top 6 favourite books (or series) of all time: Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe; Ake by Wole Soyinka (it’s more a memoir but God I love this book. I worship at its feet!), Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; The Sandman Series by Neil Gaiman (I know, I know, it’s a comic book series, but dammit it’s Neil Gaiman); The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, and finally The Lost Gods Series by Megan Derr.

What is your favourite magical creature? Dragons

What made up object do you wish was real? Time-turner (God the things I could do with it).

Where do you wish you went to school? I’m okay with the school I went to. Found lifelong friends there, came to accept my sexuality there. Learned more about myself there. I liked my alma mater. 

Name your favourite ships: Malec (duh), Jimon (yes it’s not canon, but I love it), Clizzy (same as with Jimon), WestAllen, Calizona (before that ship went to shit with the cheating and the mess it became).

Which character do you want to marry? Is this a trick question, cuz the answer will still be Magnus Bane. Of course I’d also marry Maia, and Izzy, but if I had to choose one, Magnus Bane.

What is your favourite song? Just like with the books, I’m going with my top 6 favs. Diamonds by Rihanna; I was Here by Beyonce; Liquor Store Blues by Bruno Mars ft. Damien Marley; Viva La Vida by Coldplay; Miss Independent by Neyo; Gasoline by Halsey.

What is 3 facts nobody knows about you? Hahaha. Is there anything about me that everyone doesn’t know already? Okay, I didn’t admit to myself that I was Pansexual until like 2 years ago (don’t ask me how the hell I kept myself in the dark for so long considering that I made out with a shit ton of girls growing up. Hell I had my first orgasm with a girl before I had one with a guy). Two, I hate doing chores, hate it! I willingly take out of my food money to pay someone to clean my house for me. Yes, I am that lazy (and when I run out of money and have to clean myself, I bitch. A lot!). Finally, I’m a big crybaby. I cry when I’m watching happy movies and sad movies, when I’m reading a love story with a happy ending or some sad, depressing memoir. And don’t get me started on my tears when I’m listening to a song I love. I cry. I’m a big crybaby

Least fave book of all times and why? 50 Shades of Grey or as I like to call it, 50 Shades of Bullshit. It makes a mockery of the BDSM community. Their relationship is meant to be around Ana the sub, everything Christian as her Dom does is meant to be about her happiness, her growth, her fulfillment, her satisfaction. Christian is not meant to whip her in order to get rid of HIS demons, he’s meant to help her get rid of HERS. So no, that is not a love story, that is some creepy abusive shit. If Christian Grey had been some broke ass dude living in a trailer park, nobody would see that story as romantic, it will be creepy as hell. And everybody will be screaming at her to walk away and not look back.

What characters are your role models? Magnus Bane (at this point, it shouldn’t surprise anyone), Christina Yang (that woman is a goddess, a walking, strong, intense, brilliant, focused goddess! It is an honour to have watched her on my screen), Isabelle Lightwood (I mean season 1 Isabelle, not the present junkie Isabelle that the producers are feeding us this season. Hopefully I get my Izzy back!), Maia Roberts (she’s strong, she’s sassy, she’s beautiful, she loves to read. Girl is a complete package!), Luke Garroway (that strength to rebuild his life even after it’s been wrecked and he comes out even stronger? We all could use a little Luke Garroway in our lives), Ifemelu (God that woman, that strong, independent-minded, afro wearing queen, she helped me so much two years ago when I was at my most depressive point. How can I not love her?)

Favourite video game? Street Fighter (it used to be Mortal Kombat but things changed). 

Are you proud to be a nerd? why? I think I would call myself more of a geek than a nerd, simply because although I can be quite studious, and single-minded, I’m not lacking in social skills. So yeah, I geek out about a shit ton of stuff (hell, I’m the girl who would throw a party at receiving another encyclopedia. What can I say, I love them!), and I’m proud of it because life is too short not to have something you can lose your soul and mind over. It’s just too damn short, and people who don’t have things they obsesses over like nerds and geeks do, live very sad, very dreary lives. 

Tag 10 people! (you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to)

Could you please share how your Neyo piece from the other day ends?

What a Change pt. 2

Summary: You've been trapped on this war torn planet for two days, you just have to wait for Neyo to come and get you.

Pairing: Commander Neyo x Reader

Word Count: 1332

Warnings: None

Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni

A/N: There's no love confessions here, but the love is there and it's enough.

You wince as you duck behind the broken wall of what used to be a medical clinic. A medical clinic that Doctors Without Borders set up years ago, you recognize some of the equipment that lay, damaged and unused, around the exam room.

When Commander Neyo told you that the planet wasn’t peaceful anymore, you weren’t sure that you believed him. After all, you had been here before, and had helped vaccinate the population against the plague. You had friends here.

Or, you had once upon a time.

You duck your head a little more as blaster fire hits the wall over your head, and you wince as small pieces of drywall rain down on you. 

Commander Neyo had been very clear. Find a safe place, and stay there until he can come and find you. You thought it would be an easy thing to agree to. But in almost two days, you haven’t found a single safe place to hide.

Honestly, you’re kind of glad that Neyo insisted on wearing your armor, because you’re been shot several times over the last couple of days. You glance down at your chest piece, which is now decorated with three different blaster burns.

You’re also glad that Doctors Without Borders splurges for some very high end armor.

You hear heavy footsteps, and silently you drop to the ground, and shimmy your way through an opening in the wall, leading you back outside…or what was outside, when there was an inside to compare it to.

You stay low, hidden behind some bushes, and you close your eyes and try to remember. Outside the city, there was a massive cave system that the people here used to inter their deceased. Right up until they learned that the reason there was so much illness on the planet was because of all of the death so close by.

The caves had been emptied and the bodies had been properly disposed of…and the caves should be empty.

Great. Fantastic.

All you have to do is cross a city filled with people who want to kill you, and find your way out of the city into a wilderness full of creatures that want to kill you, in the hopes that maybe you’ll find a cave system that used to be a death sentence to enter.

Lovely.

The back of your head settles against the building for a moment, maybe you can just stay here. Surely no one would look for you in a place where you’d already been, right?

You close your eyes, take a deep breath, and then start moving. You know that staying in place is a death sentence, especially here. You just hope that Commander Neyo actually comes for you.

No.

No, you can’t think like that. Neyo said he would come, so he will.

Finally, you finally make it outside of the city, and you find the cave system with ease. You’re not surprised to see that the system is empty, the place still carries an air of grief and sorrow.

You’re more surprised that the cave systems haven’t been completely sealed off.

You settle yourself only a little way in from the mouth of the cave, and you curl behind a large rock. Better safe than sorry in this case.

Slowly you drift off, your head resting on your vambraces. You sure do hope that no one finds you…or that the only person who does find you is Commander Neyo.

You start awake to the sound of heavy steps on dirt, and you keep yourself still through sheer stubbornness. 

“Doc?” A familiar voice echoes through the cave, “It’s Neyo, I know you’re in here.”

You hesitate, and then poke your head out from behind the rock, “Commander?”

You see his helmet turn in your direction, and tension drains out of his shoulders. “When the General said that your tracking fob put you in the cave system we feared that you had been killed.”

You blink at him, “Tracking fob?”

He walks over to you and crouches so he’s closer to eye level with you, taking a moment to pull his helmet off and set it to the side so you’re able to see his face. Neyo reaches out to you, and then down into one of your many, many pouches, and he pulls a small plastoid disk out of the pocket, “Tracking fob.”

You stare at the disk for a moment, “You put a tracking device on me?” You don’t know if you should laugh or cry.

“Of course I did. I told you I was going to find you, how’d you think I was going to do that without a tracking device.” Neyo helps you to your feet, and his gaze drops to the blaster burns on your chest plate. “You were shot.”

You sniffle, unable to help yourself, “I was shot a lot.”

“I can tell, you’re not hurt are yo-” He stops talking mid-sentence when you fling your arms around him in a tight hug, “Uh…” Hesitantly he wraps his arms around you and lightly pets the back of your head.

“‘M sorry,” You mumble, but you don’t pull away from the hug, instead you raise onto your toes and press your nose against the spot on his neck that isn’t covered with armor, but is covered with the thin material of his blacks.

Neyo releases a slightly shaky breath, “You don’t have to apologize.” His arms tighten around you, “You’re not supposed to end up in these situations.”

“No one should end up in these kinds of situations.” You reply mournfully.

Slowly, hesitantly, Neyo brings a hand to rest on the back of your neck, trying to offer you what comfort he can.

“I’m sorry you had to come after me. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the vaccines at the beginning. I’m-”

“Hey, hey. No. None of that.” Neyo pulls you away and presses his hand against your cheek, “You did the right thing. The Admiral should have passed the information down, not sat on it until it was too late. And I will always come after you. Always.” It sounds like a promise and you stare up at him with watery eyes.

“I’m sure you have better things-”

“Never. You are the most important.” Neyo interrupts. “You, who fight for me and my brothers even when we intimidate you. You who cares so very much about everything.”

You blink at him, surprised at his words.

“I am going to get you back to the ship. And then I’m going to punt the Admiral out the airlock.” Neyo bitches, “And then you’re going to cure the enhanced aging of me and my brothers.”

You sniffle and wipe your eyes, “I’m really close.”

“I know you are, it’s because you’re brilliant,” Neyo says as he brushes his thumb across your cheek, “And once you fix the enhanced aging, and the war is over, I’m going to marry the kriff out of you and give you three kids and a kriffing house with a garden and two tookas-”

You laugh softly, your anxiety and fear from the last two days fading now that you know that you’re safe again, “Seems like you have it all planned.”

“That is what I’m good at,” Neyo replies, he brushes his thumb against your cheek a little longer, and then he pulls away, “We have a camp set up about an hour walk from here. I will get you back to camp safely. But you’re going to have to stay at camp to keep you away from the Admiral.”

“You don’t trust him.”

“Not when you’re involved.” Neyo scoffs, he pulls his helmet back on, “Stay close, Doc.”

You smile at him, and stand on your toes to press a light kiss against his helmet, “Thank you, Commander.”

Later you’ll talk to him about feelings. But he’s already made it plain to you what his feelings are, you just have to do the same thing…somehow.

I am far from surprised that Camilla Cabello was hired by Loreal Paris as she is a natural beauty and seems at ease with herself both emotionally and physically (which I admit that I am in the process of working to improve within myself). I admit that my favorite song by Fifth Harmony when she was with them are both the songs Worth It feat. Kid Ink and Sledgehammer. Camilla Cabello also has a superb voice in the song Bad Things with Machine Gun Kelly. I also admit that this article influences me to consider using my Amazon music subscription to have a listen with Camilla Cabello's latest music collection.

The 50 Most Romantic Movies Ever Made by Jason Bailey

I can easily understand and guess some of the reasons why Robert Wagner is being investigated. However, I am going to take a safe guess and say that he is innocent when it comes to the drowning of his former wife Natalie Wood. Robert Wagner may be keeping silent about the events leading up to Natalie Wood's death more because of other reasons outside of his innocence-i.e. wikipedia lists information to imply that he has been a ladie's man for part of his life and maybe he is being silent more to protect certain people in his personal life that he might have been friends with andor romantically involved with-yet this is still independent from the fact that I am going to guess that someone else besides Robert Wagner had something to do with Natalie Wood's drowning.

my condolences on the mother's loss of her son but the U.S. Army is not at fault for her son's death. Tragically once she admitted that he believed it was ok to throw up what he ate, this told me partially what contributed to his sudden death. I am far from a doctor but even I know that the human body is capable of handling 1000 to 1200 calories when trying to lose weight if overweight by at least 20 to 30 pounds or more. However, it can be tough on even an overweight body to force oneself to throw up food that was consumed and is meant to be converted into nutrients inside of your body.

This Former McDonald’s Employee Lost 120 Pounds To Join The Marine CorpsBy

BRIAN ADAM JONES

I admit that I definitely intend to only resort to weight loss surgery as a last resort option as I intend to reduce my weight through certain eating and exercise habits. I am simply following my intuition to keep this link as a reminder why I must avoid weight loss surgery while I harbor military career dreams. I admit that I intend to do what I legally can with minimal risk to my health to manifest a 135 pound body or thinner by August 1 2018 or sooner even if I have to eventually eat separate foods from what my sweet husband eats. He should not have to restrict himself  just because I intend to make eating moderations to achieve my weight loss goals by certain timelines. I am determined to do what I have to do to get thinner quicker this year even if it means eventually changing how often I write online by March 1 2018 andor sooner.

I admit that I am still in the process of fulfilling my intent to be a more consistent walker throughout the workweek but fortunately I am off to a good start today with already walking at least first thing this morning. This is another link that both my intuition and logic are indirectly influencing me to keep for both present and future reference. I intend to become more of a consistent runner who runs at least a mile or more a day by March 2018 andor sooner. However, my intuition is still guiding me to keep this link and work my way up to running at least a mile a day by keeping consistent with my walking through the month of February 2018.

NYC 2016

              I have a VERY long bucket  list (as most people do I am sure)! One of the more easily attainable list items was to see New York City at Christmas time. I had a friend who had gone years ago around the holidays and I was so jealous of all the amazing photos. Being a shift worker with many shift worker friends, it is often hard to decide on dates especially with those who can be non-committal with plans. I decided to book the trip and go on my own, which ended up being an awesome decision!

Friday December 2nd, 2016:             I decided to go at the beginning on December when the weather wasn’t too cold yet, but the Christmas festivities would be in full swing. I booked a cheap flight from Buffalo ($170 return) and flew down on a Friday night. After a few delays, I made it to JFK airport in the evening and followed the well-labeled signs to the Sky Train. The sky train is very easy to use (much like most of NYCs transit) and fast. I made it to the subway station in about 25 minutes and hopped off at Jamaica Station. From there I knew what line I needed to take and easily found it. The subway was super clean (way cleaner than the TTC) and an enjoyable ride. There were many performers on the subway- a dancing duo and a singing duo that serenaded the cabin with Neyo. The dancers were very impressive flipping all around the bars of the subway. I was floored by how fun and entertaining the subway could be.  I had booked a hostel close to the subway for this trip and was pleasantly surprised at how clean and cool it was. It was called the Local and was found in Queens, about 5 minutes away from the subway station. The room was very small but clean with its own shower and toilet. There was a bar/small restaurant at the front of the hostel and then lots of lounge areas and computers to use. The best part about the hostel was the view from the rooftop patio. It overlooked the NYC skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge and was just magical. I ran over to the 24-hour grocery store for some dinner and to get snacks for the next couple days. I enjoyed my dinner while people watching at the hostel before bed

Saturday December 3rd, 2016:             After a quick breaky at the hostel, I headed into the city (about 4- 6 subway stops to downtown Manhattan, depending on where you wanted to go) to wander around and to get my hop on hop off pass for the day.  I had been to NYC once before with my family and loved the hop on hop off pass more so for its ideas of what to do and all of the information. It also helps that its “free” transportation if you use it wisely. Before grabbing my pass, I did stop by Times Square and take some great photos of the billboards and lights as well as my first taste of the Macy’s display.  I grabbed my pass and jumped on the bus that headed downtown to reacquaint myself with the city. I had tons of stuff planned but had also left some wiggle room to see other things that may have come up or that were suggested to me. I took the bus around pass the FlatIron Building, Soho, Canal street and the Financial district where I go off just around the 911 Memorial. I wandered around there for a while and checked out the City Hall Park along with the Brooklyn Bridge (tons of vendors on the side and tourists taking selfies like me) before getting in line for the One World Trade Observatory. This is the tallest building in the North American at 541 m. It was build in 2014 and goes up 107 floors in 60 seconds. It is also one of the most secure buildings in all of the city with many security check points. While it was a pricy admission and long line ups- it was worth the wait. While you waited inside, there were many videos, photos and diagrams to capture your interest and teach you about the building, how it was constructed and the area. Just before the top, there was a neat 3-D video that showed the building of the Tower and at the end the screen opened up to the amazing view. The view from the top was truly magical! I loved being able to see the whole city from so high up (without having to be in a plane of course) as well as all of the great landmarks they had set out to see. After wandering around the 911 area and paying respect at the Tower Pools, I walked over to Battery park and meandered around there for a while before grabbing a Philly cheesesteak (wrong city, I know) and hoping on my bus to the guided tour of the Statue of Liberty.             I was so excited to see Lady Liberty up close and personal! Unfortunately, it was rather cold and we had to wait over an hour to board our boat. While it was freezing, it ended up working in our favour as the sights were so much better as the sun was setting.  The city was all lit up and looked extra magical. We learned some history about Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty and Staten Island. We all took tons and tons of photos before heading back to the port and getting the bus back into the city. After warming up on the bus, I wandered around Time square and took in some of the amazing holiday displays. They truly are stunning! There were tons of people still skating at Rockefeller Centre. All of the lights and festivities were super fun and got me into the Christmas Spirit! I grabbed a yummy treat from the original Magnolia Bakery (think Sex and the City) before heading back to Queens (with my wind burned face) for a good nights sleep.

Sunday December 4th, 2016:          I had read about a ton of cool holiday markets that I would’ve loved to check out, but I really want to spend the morning in Chelsea. I hopped on the Subway for the 15 or so minute ride over to Chelsea where I stopped in at the Chelsea Market. I am a huge fan of all types of markets (food and shopping- sign me up!) so I was pretty excited to see what this one had to offer. There were tons of great little boutique-y shops with great eclectic stuff and great coffee!! After the market, I headed over to the highline and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the weather! The highline is a linear park built on a raised section of an old New York Central Railroad (called the West Side Line). The views of the Hudson and the city are great! There are some small market type booths sets up but it is mostly just a great place to get out, get some exercise and just be. Once I had successfully walked the full highline, I walked back up the city to check out the Holiday windows in better detail. I checked out the amazing story at the Macy’s display before heading down to Eataly to enjoy an amazing lunch. The various ares of Eataly were awesome! You could get just about anything that was remotely Italian there (except for goodlooking men… kidding). I grabbed myself a fresh mozzarella and prosciutto sandwich and had lunch outside in front of the Flatiron building with the Empire State building behind me. I wandered around Madison Square park before heading uptown once again to enjoy some more holiday windows and of course Bryant Park. Everyone always suggests skating at Rockefeller but I think the view at Bryant Park is just as good and there are way more things to do and see. There was an amazing outdoor Christmas market set up on the outsides of the skating rink with various shops and treats. I spent some time browsing (and taking photos in front of the amazing tree) before heading over to Central Park.

           The iconic Central Park- you could spend days wandering around this place. I managed to check out the places I really wanted to see on this quick visit through. I also attempted to go inside the Plaza hotel (which you cannot go into sadly), but instead checked out the Market place beneath the hotel. As a side note- the FAO Schwartz Toy store is no longer beside Apple across from Central park- so sad and disappointed I couldn’t go play with the toys and the magical keyboard. Anyways, I digress, back to Central Park. I got the classic photos of the amazing park but missed the Pigeon lady! She wasn’t where she normally hangs out which was upsetting. I wandered around, checked out the skating rink and of course rode the Carousel (yes I am a child at heart). I slowly made my way around the park – stopping by the closed Sheep Meadow (All the GG Fans, you know what I am talking about) en route to the Lincoln Centre for my evening showing of the Nutcracker.

             While I am not the biggest ballet fan, I knew I just had to see the iconic Nutcracker by the NYC Ballet. I had great, centre seats and had a delish glass of red before settling into my seat beside a chatty, adorable Aussie boy. The choreography and the actual performance was amazing but the Nutcracker is a bit confusing as a story line… or maybe it was just me! In any case, I really enjoyed the show but I think I am nutcrackered out for a few years! After a walk around Columbus Circle, I had planned to go to a well-known Italian restaurant for dinner (Patsy’s). I should’ve known that it would’ve been packed- even on a Sunday! I ended up walking down the street and finding a great little spot called Joe Gs that had great food, great service and an awesome happy hour deal. I made friends with a few middle aged couples over some wine and then chatted with some Americans about politics and baseball (two subjects I really shouldn’t be discussing with any confidence haha). After biding adieu to my new friends, I stopped to take even more photos of the amazing holiday windows and displays before heading over to Penn station (without even realizing it was Penn Station) where everyone was out and about getting snacks and drinks before heading back to Queens via the E train!

Monday December 5th, 2016:            Today was a mishmash sort of day! I was excited to do a bunch of random things. I started the day off by taking the train to Grand Central and wandering around with a coffee. It was so fun to people watch- and see how stressed people can be when they are rushing about in a busy train station (we all know the pain). Grand Central doesn’t get enough credit in my opinion- it is so beautifully detailed with amazing old school touches. I could’ve sat in there for hours people watching but I knew there were so many other things that I wanted to see. I made my way to the Upper East Side to get into my Blair Waldorf zone and sit and have breakfast on the steps of the Met. I am a HUGE Gossip Girl Fan so many landmarks from my trip were taken from the books/show. I enjoyed my breaky on the steps (people watching of course) before heading inside to take a look around. I really wanted to go into the museum but knew I couldn’t spent enough time in there to really appreciate all of the exhibits. I left with a magnet (of course to add to the collection) and wandered into Central Park. Central park (as I already mentioned) is really huge and amazing. There is tons to do! I just wandered around and enjoyed the beautiful day while checking out the views around the Resevoir, the Pool and Turtle Pond near Belevedere Castle.  I circled back to the Upper West Side where I checked out the Museum of Natural history (which again I didn’t have enough time to truly appreciate so will put that on the list of next time) en route to Macy’s. The last time I was in NYC, we spent forever in the 11 level flagship store. This time, I had one goal- to meet Santa! It is tradition for us to get our picture taken with Santa and mom would not let me back in the house if I did not see the original “Miracle of 34th Street” Santa. I looked real funny in line waiting to see santa for about 40 minutes with a slew of toddlers. In any case, it was worth it! Santa’s workshop was pretty magical! The way they have it set up is that you walk through the various scenes and parts of the workshop and winter displays. I ended up chatting up some parents and getting my photo taken with the big old Jolly Fella. 

            By the time I made my way out of Macy’s, it was quite dark so I figured it was a good time to check out the Empire State Building Observation deck. I thought since I had seen the city from the tallest building in the city during the day, I should enjoy it at night as well. Similar to the One World Trade Observatory, the line ups and security were insane! It really is like FortKnox trying to get into those places. While you wait, they do have information cards and various audio visual scenes for you to learn about the Empire State building and its production. The wait was definitely worth it! I took so many photos!! I also just spent time outside enjoying the view, people watching as I do. The city is so busy, bright and vibrant- probably why it’s called the city that never sleeps.  I tried to use the view finder thing like Kevin did in Home Alone 2 but it was too dark! Ah well! Next time. After my lovely time at the top of the Empire state building (which I sang Empire State of Mind in my head the whole time), I meandered over the Radio City Music Hall for the Rockets show! I was sooooo excited about this show! I had heard such great things and read great reviews on it. The dancing, the singing, the audio/visuals, the atmosphere was just amazing! I was on the edge of my seat, totally entertained the whole time. It is definitely worth seeing if you are able to! I knew that I was going to have an early morning, so I headed back towards Queens from the 5th Ave station!

Tuesday December 6th, 2016:           Sigh! It was my last day in the Big Apple! I was excited about all of the amazing stuff had done (and still had to do!) but was sad that my solo trip was coming to an end. Thanks to some girls at work, they suggested I try and get tickets to a viewing of one of the morning talk shows. I ended up getting tickets to the View (which I never watch but do love Whoopi so…). They have very specific rules and regulations about going in, where to sit, what to wear etc. I made my way to the ABC studios on the Upper West Side for 8 am or so. We waited in line and then went through a serious security check (almost as crazy as the airport) before taking our assigned seats. We were briefed on how the show would work, when to stand, when to clap, etc and then brought into the studio. We weren’t allowed to take photos (sadly) but it was still a super cool experience. The guest stars were Queen Latifah (so so so good) and Andy Cohen (so so so funny!) It was super odd experience but really made me want to be a talk show host! I think I would do a darn good job of sitting around, chatting about current events with hilarious celebrities and drinking coffee. Alas, if only it was that easy haha. The whole thing was about 3 hours long and we ended up getting a copy of Andy Cohen’s book (which I started reading in Mexico and got slightly distracted and haven’t finished it). We were lead out of the studios out a random back door, which again, was super odd but all added to the experience! I only had a few more hours before I needed to head back to the airport but I really wanted to check out the largest Crossfit gym in the World (obvs). I headed over there after the View but sadly, didn’t have enough time for a WOD. I did get a tour of the place (which is actually massive and two levels). I will for sure hit up a class the next time I am there. There were a few other random things I wanted to check out before leaving, such as Kleinfeld and one of the popular pokeh restaurants (obviously). After grabbing lunch and wandering around Midtown, I mad my way back to the hostel to pick up my carry-on (and a last minute festive cocktail) and head to the airport for the short flight back home.          

          I have to say (and I probably already did), this was one of my fave trips in a very long time. I have done quite a bit of travelling (not as much as I would like but, I mean, the bills have to get paid) but for some reason this trip was extra special. I am not sure if it was because I did it by myself, or if it was because it was a trip I had wanted to take for a long time. Regardless, I had the best time enjoying the city, experiencing things I may not have had I been with others and just spending time with my number one- me. I was also able to do a lot of self reflection which I personally don’t do often enough. I hope to head back to NYC –with or without some fun friends in the spring/summertime to have another amazing experience!

Commander Bacara relationship headcanons (SFW and NSFW)

Here are some headcanons nobody asked for!! 

Note: There are no gifs of him on this hell site. The only one I found is of his fucking boots. If you don’t know what this hottie looks like please look him up 

SFW 

Bacara is the strong silent type 

He’s also seen as a loner 

He will not talk to you unless he has to. So getting this man to just talk to you is a challenge 

When you first hear his voice you’re surprised that it’s deeper and rougher than other clones

But! Bacara is a Marine! This means he’s very cocky(Just like Marines here in America! No offense, but I’m right)

This means if you challenge Bacara, or ask him about something badass he did, he’ll talk to you 

Bacara especially loves to be challenged in fitness and such 

We all know Bacara has railguns, so he can probably bench press you plus a lot more  

He’s beefier than some other clones, and it’s all muscle. He weightlifs a LOT. 

If you watch him workout he shows off, but he won’t admit it

That’s how he flirts. He shows off. He will not flirt in any other way

When he’s shirtless you get a good view of his tattoo sleeves. 

The tattoos are  wavy and spider web like as they run down his arms, with very detailed patterns in them. They connect at his shoulders and turn into a tattoo that traces his spine

Most of his tattoos are death related, so that says a lot about his personality. One of his tattoos is a shattered clone trooper helmet with the skull visible, a droid head beside it. 

You also quickly notice that both of his ears are pierced twice, with black studs 

If you do somehow get Bacara into a relationship with you it’ll be hard 

He seems generally disinterested in everything, so reading him is difficult. 

He doesn’t seem to give a flying fuck about anything, so you didn’t know if he actually liked you at first 

Bacara isn’t a fan of the streets of Coruscant. He’d much rather be sleeping or lifting weights 

When he does get time for leave he hates leaving the barracks, but he will come over to your place 

Once you invite him over once he officially lives there. It’s like when you feed a stray cat once, they instantly becomes yours 

This means a fully armored Bacara will show up at your door at anytime, just because he can 

You don’t mind because he’s an amazing cook 

One time you walked into your apartment and Bacara was cooking dinner, wearing a dumb bright pink apron that said, “Kiss the cook.” 

Bacara has that odd sense of humor. You know where he’ll do something absolutely hilarious while keeping a bemused look on his face. 

It’s always surprising and hilarious when he does something like that

You asked him how he can cook and he said he taught himself, because he hates ration bars 

Bacara is also very neat, you’re pretty sure he has mild OCD 

If you touch his stack of armor he slaps your hand and stares at you till you back away

Your date nights are never going out somewhere fancy, it’s usually you two relaxing at your place 

Sometimes he’ll make dinner, or you’ll just have a movie night. No matter what, Bacara will make sure the date is perfect and rememberable 

You’ll have to buy him comfy clothes to sleep in because he doesn’t own any 

Soft pajama pants?? Bacara loves them. 

Bacara loves cuddles. He won’t admit it, even as he crawls on top of you to rest his head on your chest so he can listen to your heartbeat

He has pretty high maintenance hair that he takes pride in. 

His hair is snow white and in the typical clone haircut, but with purple(Or whatever color his armor has on it) patterns shaved in on the sides

Bacara always has a five o'clock shadow, but never an actual beard 

If you volunteer to help Bacara with his hair it becomes your permanent job. 

He melts as you wash his hair. This leads to you two taking a lot of bubble baths together 

Once you two have been in a relationship for a while he still isn’t talkative

Bacara never wants to talk about his issues, he keeps his PTSD and other issues buried deep down 

He really enjoys killing, like his brother Neyo. He won’t ever tell you that though 

He also seems rather cold sometimes, but he’s rarely cold around you 

Bacara can be kind of mean sometimes though. He’s never aggressive or abusive, he can just be mean with his words

When he’s pissed off you know it though. His jaw clenches and he gets very tense 

Bacara cusses like a sailor when he does talk, so when he’s pissed it gets worse 

Calming him down is like calming down a pissed off and spooked horse. He’s big and scary, and very mad. It takes a few minutes to get him to relax 

Being a Galactic Marine, he may be away for longer times 

He always makes up for being gone though! 

Sometimes he might bring you something he thought was cool from one of his missions 

Like a pretty rock. He brings you rocks. 

But other than that he never really gives you presents. 

He spoils you with forehead kisses and cuddles though!

Bacara will fall in love with you pretty quickly, but he won’t say it for a while 

He eventually says it while cuddling you after some intimate sex 

He’ll love you till the end of his days, and that’s a promise. 

NSFW 

You wouldn’t think Bacara would have much experience, but you were wrong 

Bacara makes you cum almost immediately, and that’s how you learned Bacara knows his stuff

He can read you like a book, so after a time or two he’ll know exactly what makes you scream

He’s still the strong silent type in bed. The only way to get him to be vocal is if he's tied up and being teased 

Bacara will give you short one word orders though. His rough voice sending shivers down your spine 

He loves being in control. But sometimes he will let you take the reigns

He’s a brat when you’re domming him though 

Bacara is a very very patient man, so he’ll tease you and drag orgasm after orgasm from you 

He loves seeing you writhe and moan underneath him

He doesn’t care how you two fuck. He’ll go fast or slow, rough or gentle. It all depends on both of your moods 

Bacara will not talk about his kinks, but if you bring up yours he’d listen

He’s pretty kinky, but you’ll always have to bring up something new for you two to try 

He’s surprisingly eager to try new things

You quickly learn that he loves spanking, both on you and himself

(He drinks his respect women juice so pegging)

He also loves choking

Bacara also loves to give oral, he is addicted to your taste 

He often wakes you up with his very skilled mouth 

The first time you give him oral he is very unsure at first

He quickly learns that he loves being in your mouth 

All the clones have a breeding kink, but his is dialed down because he hates kids 

So he doesn’t care if he cums inside of you or on you

His cock is very big, just like the rest of him

He loves it when you trace his muscles, most of which are covered in tattoos 

Bacara is up for quickies, especially before he has to leave for a long mission

With aftercare he usually takes a hot shower or bath with you

Sometimes he will just clean you both up with a hot rag before passing out beside you 

Aftercare depends on what you two do and how much energy you two have left 

He loves it when you fall asleep in his muscular tattooed arms

hi! i was wondering if you could do a relationship hc’s for commander neyo please? my boi doesn’t get enough content. i love all your works btw! <3

Yessss!!!! I did Bacara here, now it’s time to do my other psycho hubby 

Commander Neyo relationship headcanons //SFW and NSFW//

SFW

If you even get Neyo to talk to you then you deserve a medal 

Neyo hardly ever talks, and if you piss him off he’ll probably spit in your face 

So be careful of what you say around this Commander. He isn’t the nicest 

If you do happen to get him to talk he won’t say much 

You learn he’s very interested in other species, so you talk about that with him

He doesn’t enjoy talking, so he’ll nod and other things to express himself 

When Neyo talks it’s mostly cuss words anyways 

When Neyo begins to like you, everyone knows immediately

Neyo will talk to you?? And you’re not a clone or his general?? Crazy.  

It’s still not a lot of words but it’s some 

It’s a lot of work to get into a relationship with Neyo, but it’s worth it 

You quickly pick up on his habits because he trusts you enough to allow you to follow him around

Neyo is pretty similar to Bacara, he works out a lot. But not in the same way 

Neyo runs instead of lifting a lot. 

He doesn’t go out for drinks or anything when he’s on leave 

So he runs. A lot. 

If you bug him enough about it he’ll eventually mess up his schedule and come to your home 

He’s obviously very OCD so it takes a lot of bugging to get him to come over

Neyo is fucking awkward at first. He just stands in the center of your living room looking around

You have to shove him to the couch and distract him by a holomovie or whatever 

He relaxes after a few minutes and eventually leans into your touch

Neyo is very awkward on the whole touching thing. He also doesn’t know anything about relationships either 

So it takes a while for him to be fully comfortable around you 

Neyo never came to your place unless you asked him to, but as your relationship progressed that changed 

After one particularly stressful mission he showed up at your house in full armor 

He basically moved in with you at this time. So you bought him comfy sleeping clothes 

Neyo will not admit that he loves the fuzzy socks or comfortable sweatpants 

It’s obvious though 

Neyo doesn’t flirt, but he shows off some. 

When he runs and you watch he makes sure to run extra fast, just simple things like that

When he basically moved in with you he’d wear the sweatpants and nothing else

The sweats were a little too tight they showed off his goods and very muscular legs

The asshole knows this and loves it when you stare at him. 

When he’s that comfortable around you he still hardly talks, he just doesn’t want to 

Neyo never takes you out anywhere unless it’s on a walk at nighttime. 

He always brings you to his favorite rooftop on the upper levels of Coruscant and watch the ships 

He’ll go to restaurants if you want him to, but he’ll be awkward and very very tense 

He hates being in public without his armor 

If he does go out in public with you he will always be touching you. He is very possessive 

This means he gets jealous easily. If someone looks at you or tries to touch you Neyo sees red 

Neyo will kill people over you and not bat an eye. 

Luckily for those pervs, you can relax your angry psycho boyfriend  

That’s why most of your dates are you two just relaxing on your couch 

You’ll have to climb onto him for him to cuddle you at first

He’s so touch starved that he doesn’t really know how to cuddle or anything 

You have to teach him how to relax and such when you lay on him

He ends up loving it 

Sometimes he’ll just pick you up and plop down so he can hold you 

Neyo seems like a hard ass but if you pout and give him puppy eyes he breaks 

It’s his weakness. 

Since he doesn’t talk much you learn his body language easily

It’s harder than it sounds 

Neyo really misses you when he’s away on missions, so he may comm you sometimes 

He’ll come back and just want cuddles because he missed you. 

It’s really sweet. If you say it’s sweet he will scowl at you. 

Neyo’s hair is a little longer than most clones, so he slicks it back 

It keeps it out of his face when he’s wearing his helmet 

He doesn’t slick it back when he’s on leave 

Neyo lets you play with his curly mess of black hair and he loves it 

He has more tattoos then the one on his face 

You made him stand naked in your bedroom while you examined his many scars and tattoos 

He had two sleeves that connect along his chest and back, all with some odd patterns 

The patterns somehow reminded you of death, in a weird way 

The pattern moves down his spine and splits down his lean hips, stopping at his V line

When you asked if the linked tattoos were pointing to his dick he just shrugged and smirked 

Neyo has an odd personality, much like Bacara’s

He can do something absolutely hilarious and keep a straight face 

Neyo doesn’t show too many facial expressions anyways, he’s very good at keeping a mask

If you make him smile it makes your day 

The asshole will mess with you. He loves teasing you in his own way 

You’ll ask him a serious question and shrug, his dark seemly soulless eyes shining 

Neyo doesn’t sleep well and doesn’t seem to like sleeping 

He has terrible nightmares, mostly plagued by his own thoughts 

Neyo really enjoys killing, he enjoys the control.

 He would never hurt you but he still worries. 

He sleeps better with you in his arms, or with his head on your chest 

He’ll still wake up in a cold sweat some nights and will flinch at your touch 

It takes a minute to get him to relax but eventually he’ll calm down 

He just curls up against you, shaking slightly, while you whisper sweet nothings to him

Neyo never thought he could ever show so much weakness, but he loves you 

He’ll probably say it first, like right out of the blue 

When his gruff voice says the three words your heart nearly stops with joy 

Neyo may seem soulless to many, but to you he’s your cuddly lover

NSFW

Help him. He is so awkward 

You have to show him and teach him the first few times 

Once he relaxes and memorizes your body(Very quickly) He doesn’t need anymore teaching 

Once he’s more confident he’ll fuck your brains out 

Neyo is into rough sex, like very into it 

You learn he’d rather fuck you hard that you can’t move than to run. It’s his new favorite exercise

Neyo seemed very dominant at first, he was so primal about it 

You quickly learned that if you tried hard enough you could flip the positions 

He loves wrestling with you for the dominant role, it becomes foreplay for you two 

You two rarely have those slow and soft intimate nights, unless he’s feeling tired or needy 

If you ask though, giving him the pouty face and eyes, he’ll do whatever you want

No matter how hard you two fuck, he’s still making you cum as much as he can 

He loves watching you as you cum, he especially enjoys the noises 

Neyo isn’t the biggest fan of quickies, but he’ll do them

Neyo will totally do public sex. He wants everyone to know how much pleasure he gives you 

Neyo will tease the fuck out of you in so many differnet ways 

He loves the noises you make so he’ll tease for as long as he pleases 

His self control is fucking nuts 

You didn’t know Neyo was kinky until the night you came home and he was sitting on your bed, naked, and holding a few lengths of soft fabric 

He loves to tie you up. 

Neyo also loves choking and spanking, you learned that the hard way

You also learned that Neyo is very into anal, as a surprise of course 

He won’t ever bring up his kinks but he’ll do whatever you want 

Neyo will fill out your deepest darkest desires. He whispered this to you once and it nearly killed you 

Neyo doesn’t dirty talk but he growls deeply, he’s very vocal with his groans and growls 

It’s really hot actually 

If he ever mumbles your name or some words, his voice is extra gruff from not being used often. The tone is hot as fuck. 

If he says a word to you during sex you’ll probsbly cum immediately 

Neyo will mark the fuck out of you. He bites and nips, he wants everyone to know that he controls your pleasure 

He’ll make you go to work sometimes with your thighs still covered in his cum 

Neyo is Very very possessive.

If he ever draws blood with his bites he’ll lick it off. He has a big blood kink 

I mentioned how he shows off with the too tight sweatpants? Well….

He’ll sit in a man spread and pat his thigh. He loves watching you ride his muscular thigh 

Neyo has very muscular and powerful legs. If you trace his leg muscles he tenses and shivers as lighting bolts of pleasure shoot straight to his cock

If you trace his tattoos or scars he melts, he loves it. 

Worship his body then dom him, he loves it. He’ll moan louder than ever if he’s being ridden or pegged/dick downed.

If you mention your sex life to anyone else you don’t even know what he’d do

It’s strictly between the two of you(Unless y'all sometimes have a friend or two over if that’s your thing)

Neyo always surprises you with what he’ll do 

He woke you up one time by giving you oral 

His mouth is incredibly talented, he made you forget your name with just his tongue 

If you give him oral prepare for him to fuck your face 

He’ll use you as his personal fuck toy unless he’s tied down 

He secretly loves being teased till he nearly begs. He never begs by the way, you’ll get a snarl 

You begging on the other hand? He fucking loves it 

If you say his name, call him commander, or call him sir then you better be ready to be fucked extra hard 

Neyo is a little weird about aftercare

He wants you covered in his sweat and cum as you fall asleep in his arms 

He wants you marked for as long as possible 

You can talk him into a shower with you though, he really enjoys those 

No matter what, you’re falling asleep in the embrace of you big “Mean” cuddly commanders arms
