Best spider-gwen comic? Alternatively, where should one start reading?
Oooooh !! So, my favorite Spider-Gwen comic is issue #31 from the second Latour/Rodriguez run. When I became a Gwen Stacy fan I became a Gwen Stacy fan, including the original Gwendolyne Maxine Stacy from the 616 universe! I won't go too deep into what happens because spoilers, but our lovely Spider-Gwen runs into her 616-self and gets the pep talk she needs from 616!Gwen and it's an incredibly lovely scene that has a cool pay off at the end of the Murderdock arc.
As for the Spider-Gwen reading order... I'll list the trade paperbacks & the issues they collect! Keep in mind I'll only be doing the original Latour/Rodriguez runs as I am not the biggest fan of McGuire's take on Gwen, but I'll have a lil blurb at the bottom.
Spider-Gwen #0 Most Wanted - Collecting Edge of Spider-Verse #2 and Spider-Gwen #1-5
Spider-Gwen #1 Greater Power - Collecting Spider-Gwen/Radioactive Spider-gwen #1-6. They re-launched Spider-Gwen in 2015 under Radioactive Spider-Gwen, so it's a new series. Modern comics are notoriously confusing because of stuff like this.
Spider-Women - Collecting Spider-Women Alpha #1, Spider-Gwen #7, Silk #7, Spider-Woman #6, Spider-Gwen #8, Silk #8, Spider-Woman #7 and Spider-Women Omega #1. This cross-over is incredibly important, unlike some cross-overs, because it sets the stage for the rest of Gwen's original run (Latour/Rodriguez) and without it you miss incredibly important details. If you cannot get the TPB/Compilation and are reading each individual issue, I listed them in order!
Spider Gwen #2 Weapon of Choice - Collects #9-13 of Radioactive Spider-Gwen
Spider-Gwen #3 Long Distance - Collects issues #14 and #15 of Radioactive Spider-Gwen, Spider-Gwen Annual #1, and All-New Wolverine Annual #1. You honestly do not NEED to read the annuals, but they're cute!
Spider-Man/Spider-Gwen Sitting in a Tree - Collecting Spider-Man #12, Spider-Gwen #16, Spider-Man #13, Spider-Gwen #17, Spider-Man #14, and Spider-Gwen #18. This is honestly one of my least favorite cross-overs, because unlike ITSV/ATSV the relationship between Miles and Gwen feels both forced and rushed. It is not overall important to her story, and skippable, but there are some characters introduced in Spider-Gwen #18 who will show back up in the late Radioactive Spider-Gwen run,
Spider-Gwen #4 - Predators. Collecting Spider-Gwen #19-23.
Spider-Gwen #5 - Gwenom. Collecting Spider-Gwen #24-29.
Spider-Gwen #6 - The Life of Gwen Stacy. Collecting Spider-Gwen #30-34.
And that's it for the original Latour/Rodriguez Spider-Gwen run! After that Seanan McGuire picked up the reigns for Spider-Gwen in Spider-Gwen Ghost-Spider & later Ghost-Spider, but I am not the biggest fan in how she chose to portray MJ and Gwen, specifically their relationship. I do encourage newer fans of Spider-Gwen to still pick up her work (It's very simple, Spider-Gwen Ghost Spider has ten issues that are fairly self-contained, and then Ghost-Spider I think only had twenty? before it was canceled) and make their own judgements.

🍊..↱ Min Yoongi
Tumblr media
Idol!Yoongi x NonIdol!Reader. Warnings: Mention of food. Words: 630
Hello everyone! I'm back after a while far from here (btw I'm sorry for that) and I was planning to post it tomorrow, but since we're celebrating today, then, Happy Birthay Yoongles! 🍊 (I'm sorry in advance for any mistakes on it)
Your eyes. I think that’s what made me fall in love with him (of course he also has his extraordinary beauty and his brilliant personality), but his unique way of looking at the world around him is what hooked me.
On second thought, I think it was the way he looked at me the first time. As if he could see my soul; as if he wanted to learn the details about her. Min Yoongi was always very passionate, and always very intense in all aspects, including when he determined that he would win me over. What he didn’t know is that I was already his, even if he didn’t want me, but I decided to pretend to be tough to get along with.
“What are you thinking?” His voice catches my eye as he enters the room. The now dark one drops down on the bed beside me, and I take the opportunity to put my book aside and lay my head on his chest. His hands go straight to my hair in a simple caress, making me smile at the act.
“You.” I reply simply, and judging by the weak laugh he gives, I can mentally see his gummy smile.
“Do you love me so much you can’t stop thinking about me, even next to me?” he comments smiling, making me laugh. I lift my face to face his and mumble a ‘uhum’ in agreement. "so what exactly was my girlfriend thinking about me?"
“Hmm... about how I fell in love with you, and how I always fall for yours.” Yoongi looks at me a little confused, so I straighten up and stare at her beautiful face as I speak. “your look when we first met. I believed no one would look at me like that, but you did it, and then you kept doing it, and you do it every time you see me.” I smile a bit nostalgically touching her smooth cheek with my fingertips.
“So it was my look that won you over? Not my irresistible beauty?”
“First time…yes.” I sigh, laughing lightly along with him “but beyond that, it was the way I learned to read your gaze. I found that sometimes you work too hard, and even if you deny it, I know exactly what to do to get you out of that studio and rest; I know exactly when all you want is a bottle of Soju and meat, and that even if you imply I don’t eat meat, I know you support me and know when you are comfortable with someone or not.”
Yoongi was a little red and with a small smile on his lips. And from his look, I knew what he meant. A funny thing about our relationship is that we don’t necessarily need to communicate with words because like him, I wasn’t much of a talker either, I never knew how to express myself very well, but he always understood me. I smile and after leaving a lingering peck on his lips, I answer him.
“I know I too. So, how about we order food and soju for dinner?” I propose already feeling my belly growl with hunger. Yoongi smiles.
“How about you order one of your crazy meatless dishes for me too?” His voice is husky and low, and his words make me feel ashamed and hide my face in his neck.
Min Yoongi and his intense, passionate gaze won me over from the start and will keep me going until the end.

Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9
Tumblr media
Y/N POV:
My knees felt weak and my palms were sweating. I knew Yoongi could feel it as he held tightly onto my hand, quickly walking us through the park towards the exit. His jaw was set in determination, his grip on my hand borderline painful, but I knew it was because he was scared... I was too. 
If He had managed to find out where I was, I was never going to be safe. I knew I needed to tell someone, but who would believe me. I had no proof, and the bruises and cuts He had left on me had faded. 
We arrived at the van that was waiting outside for us and Yoongi helped me in before settling near the back. He pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist. My heart was racing. I knew he could feel it under his arms.
My stomach churned as I let my thoughts run away with me. What if He finally got to me and took me back to His house and never let me leave or have contact with anyone? What if He actually killed me this time? What if I killed myself? I wasn’t going to be strong enough to make it through. 
“Jagiya, your heart is racing. You need to calm down.” Yoongi said gently. I shifted in his lap so I was sitting sideways. I rested my head on his chest as I sighed, playing with my fingers.
“I’m scared, Yoon.” I whispered. “I don’t think I’ll be able handle it again if He takes me. I really don’t.” I felt him stiffen underneath me, knowing that he knew what I was talking about. 
“Don’t say that.” Yoongi said, stroking my back. “Please, don’t say that.” He sighed and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. “You are the strongest woman I have ever met. You will get through this. And even if he does take you, which he won’t, I will not sleep until I have you back in my arms again.” He vowed. “But that will never happen because he will not be able to get near you. I promise.”
I smiled faintly at him and leaned against his chest. “Just don’t let me go.” I said.
“Never.” Yoongi said. “I love you. I will never let you go.” A small smile crept onto my face as he froze, realizing what he had just said.
“Yoongi oppa,” I said, taking his face in my hands. “I love you too.” I leaned up and kissed his lips gently. “Thank you.” He tilted his head at me in confusion. “Thank you for taking me in and not rejecting me. Not all people like you would have done that for someone like me.”
“I love you, so much.” Yoongi said. “And I think I knew that the moment I laid eyes on you and felt our bond. And I’m not saying that because of it. I’m saying that because you made me feel the same way I do with the members. You make me smile and laugh, which is hard for some people to do. It feels like you complete me.”
“You complete me too. All seven of you.” I replied as the door to the van opened, making me jump and freeze.
“Hyung? Are you here?” Jimin called as he hopped into the van.
“Yeah, we’re here, pretty boy.” Yoongi called back, nuzzling his face into my neck. “Did you round up everyone?”
“Yes, they’re all here.” Jimin replied, making me look at Yoongi.
“All of them?” I asked feeling even more scared. I could not face Namjoon, Hoseok and Taehyung right now. Not at all.
“It’s okay. They’re all sorry for what they did. I still haven’t forgiven them though.” Yoongi replied. I nodded slowly and rolled my eyes at him.
“Of course you haven’t.” I murmured, making him tickle my sides.
“Yah, what do you mean by that, hmm, baby girl?” He said, his dialect very strong.
“I mean that you haven’t forgiven them because you’re stubborn and want to make them work for your forgiveness. You forget I know you very well, Min Yoongi.” I replied, touching my finger to his nose. I turned as Jimin approached and sat next to us as the others all found their seats in the front two rows.
“Hey my beautiful princess. You okay?” Jimin asked, leaning down and pecking my lips as he pushed my hair out of my face.
“Yeah, I guess so.” I replied, taking his hand in mine. “I just want a quiet night in with lots of cuddles and some movies. Oh, and lots and lots of ice cream.” I requested.
“That we can do. But first, you have to speak to Namjoon, Hoseok and Taehyung and sort everything out. They are also your soulmates.” Jimin bargained. I pursed my lips slightly, looking up at Yoongi who nodded.
“Okay.” I agreed. “But I don’t want a massive argument.”
“There won’t be.” Yoongi reassured me. “Is everyone here now?”
“I think so, hyung. Is my carrot okay?” Jungkook called from near the front of the van where he was snuggled next to Namjoon. Hoseok and Jin were with Taehyung near the middle.
“Carrot?” Yoongi frowned, looking at me. I whined and covered my face with my hands, not wanting to have this conversation right now.
“I’ll tell you later.” I replied making him nod and peck my cheek. “Yeah, I’m fine Kookie oppa.” I called back, making him flash me his bunny smile before he settled back in his seat.
After a half an hour drive, we arrived back to Yoongi’s apartment. Home. Yoongi helped me out of the van and together we walked up to his apartment quickly while the others gathered their things.
“Get changed into something comfy.” He said gently. “Do you want to order takeout?” I nodded as I rifled through my drawers to find some sweatpants and a hoodie.
“Yoongi oppa, can I have a hoodie please?” I asked, beginning to undress myself. He hummed and nodded, walking to his closet and grabbing one out.
“Okay, when I bought you that set, I knew it would look good, but fuck, jagiya.” He groaned when he turned around to pass me his black hoodie that had the word ‘Damn’ written on the front. I flushed red and moved to pull on my sweatpants, but he moved forward and grabbed my wrist, stopping me. “Just let me look at you.” He said, holding onto my waist. His eyes travelled down my body hungrily.
“Yoongi...” I whined as he leaned down and pressed an open-mouthed kiss to my sternum. “We have other people here. We can’t. Not right now.”
“I know.” He said, his forehead resting against my chest. I ran my hands through his hair, the smell of his shampoo and cologne reaching my nose.
“So can you let me get changed please? I don’t really fancy having this conversation in my underwear.”
“It’s so sexy though.” Yoongi huffed. He pulled away from me. “Get changed, quickly, because I don’t know how much longer I will be able to control myself.” I quickly pulled on the hoodie and sweatpants and we left the bedroom and entered the living room.
Hoseok and Jimin were cuddled together on the armchair while Namjoon, Jin and Jungkook were sprawled over each other on one of the sofas. Taehyung was lying across the other one, his eyes closed and foot moving to the beat of the music playing on the TV. Yoongi cleared his throat, making Taehyung sit up straight and Namjoon, Jin and Jungkook pay attention and look at us.
“I think three of you here have something to say.” Yoongi said slowly, making Namjoon, Hoseok and Taehyung hang their heads in shame. 
Jimin stood up off Hoseok’s lap and approached me, kissing my lips gently. “I’ll see you soon, okay.” He said softly. “Kook, Jin hyung, let’s go. Give them some space.” Jin and Jungkook stood up and followed Jimin out of the room, dropping swift kisses to my lips.
“So...” Namjoon said awkwardly as Yoongi sat down on the armchair, pulling me onto his lap. “We’re your soulmates, then.” He said slowly.
“That does change anything you said about her, Namjoon ah.” Yoongi said sternly. “Properly apologize, the three of you.”
Much to my surprise, it was Taehyung who spoke first. “Y/N-ssi, I should be the first to apologize. It was me who told Yoongi hyung to reject you when I found out. I know now that that was unacceptable for me to do and it was not my place to make that decision, but I was just scared and jealous. Scared that Yoongi finding you would throw off our entire relationship dynamic and jealous that he would most likely spend more time with you than me. I’m so sorry that I made you feel like an outsider. I understand if you can’t forgive me. What I have done and said is inexcusable.” He said, dropping to his knees in front of me.
“I-” I looked at Yoongi, who gave me a comforting smile and rubbed my hip. I did feel bad for Taehyung; it was me who took Yoongi away from him, but he could have voiced his feelings earlier and we wouldn’t be in this mess. “I accept your apology, Taehyung-ssi, but what you said about not only me but also Yoongi is something that I cannot forgive that easily. But I am willing to get to know you and spend time with you while I take the time I need to fully process what has been said and done.” I said slowly.
“I understand. Thank you.” Taehyung smiled and returned back to his seat. 
“I’m sorry that I made you feel scared and unwanted.” Namjoon spoke up.
“And me too.” Hoseok agreed. “We were both being selfish and unwilling to give you a chance.”
“And we were protecting Taehyungie.” Namjoon added. “We didn’t know if you would be a saesang or not. We wanted to make sure everyone was safe. But we know now we should have given you a chance and that is something we both really regret.”
I nodded and hummed. “But if you were scared of me being a saesang, why would you let Yoongi be alone with me?”
Namjoon and Hoseok looked at each other before turning back to face me. “Yoongi was adamant that you weren’t, so we thought it would be best to allow him to spend some time with you and if you turned out to be a saesang, then...” Namjoon trailed off and hung his head, not making eye contact with Yoongi. 
“Then what, Namjoon?” Yoongi asked carefully, his voice laced with a slight hint of venom. I could tell Yoongi had not heard this part of their story before.
“Then we hoped it would have taught you the lesson that you should listen to us.” Namjoon admitted. “Yoongi hyung, I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you. I was just angry.”
“Angry enough that you would allow me to be hurt if it came to it?” Yoongi was seething. “And just to think I was starting to forgive you both.” He gently pushed me off his lap and stood up, stalking over to Namjoon. “How could you ever think of doing that to not only one of your best friends, but also your boyfriend!” He yelled and raised his hand over his head, making me flinch.
Jimin POV:
We were listening in on the conversation just to know how it was going. We could hear voices starting to become slightly raised, so I was ready to go out there and take Y/N away so she wouldn’t begin to have any flashbacks to what had happened to her. I moved out of the door to watch her carefully and see how she was acting and reacting to everything.
I watched as Yoongi pushed her off his lap to walk over to Namjoon. I could tell he was about to yell and I knew that was one of the things that could potentially set Y/N off. 
“Where are you going?” Jungkook asked me in a hushed whisper. 
“There’s about to be an argument and Y/N will not be able to handle the yelling.” I replied, walking further away from the door. And that was when Yoongi shouted, and raised his hand over his head, and Y/N, my sweet, beautiful princess, flinched away from him. “Shit.” I said under my breath and quickly made my way into the living room. “Come on, princess.” I said, wrapping my arms around her and leading her away from the argument. 
“Where are you taking her?” Yoongi asked, turning around, his eyes flaming with anger.
“You’re scaring her.” I said shortly, taking her to one of the bedrooms to calm her down. “You can come and see her once you have calmed down.” I looked over my shoulder and saw Taehyung curled up on the sofa, his hands over his ears. He hated it when people shouted in anger and he would only resort to it himself if he really had to. “Taehyungie, come on.” I said softly, holding out my hand to him. He looked up and almost ran over to me, taking hold of my hand like it was his lifeline.
When I turned to look at Yoongi, I saw his eyes filled with guilt. “Y/N, jagiya, please, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-” He reached out to touch her but she flinched away from him again, making him take a step backwards and cover his mouth, regret filling him.
“You can come and speak to her once you have properly calmed down and thought about what you were going to say.” I said coldly. “Sort this out first.” I gestured between him and Namjoon. “I’ve got you princess.” I whispered in her ear as I lead them both to the bedroom.
Jin looked up when we entered the bedroom, noticing Taehyung’s tear-stained face, and Y/N’s blank stare. “What the hell happened?” He asked, his eyes glancing between the two of them worriedly.
“Yoongi shouted.” I replied.
“Shit. Tae baby, come here, come to hyungie.” Jin said, opening his arms. Taehyung let out a choked sob before hurling himself towards Jin, dissolving into tears. Jin began to calm him down as Jungkook and I tried to break Y/N out of her own mind.
“Princess, you’re okay. You’re safe.” I said as I sat down on the bed, sitting her down between me and Jungkook. She was silent and remained staring into space.
“Carrot?” Jungkook pushed her hair out of her face. “Jimin hyung, she’s saying something.” He said, noticing her lips were moving.
“Princess, what are you saying?” I asked gently. All of a sudden, she screamed and began to cover her face with her hands.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Please don’t hurt me.” She begged as she sobbed.
“Princess, you’re okay.” I said again. “Listen to my voice. You’re here with me, Jungkook, Jin and Taehyung. We’re all here for you. We will keep you safe.” I said. “Come back to us. Please. I can’t bear to see you hurting.”
“It’s not working.” Jungkook said, panic filling his eyes. “What should we do now?”
“Ummm...” I wasn’t sure what to do. I racked my brain, trying to remember if Yoongi had told me something about how she would calm herself down. “She used to dance to calm herself, but she can’t do that now.”
“Sing to her, hyung!” Jungkook said as he got the idea. “Let’s sing to her.”
Y/N POV:
I was back in His house. No, this was not possible. I had left him. I was with Yoongi now. Unless... that was all a dream. A nice, peaceful, cruel dream. It must have been. Why would an idol like him be soulmates with someone as broken as me? Why would I be lucky enough to have seven soulmates? I looked down at myself. I was wearing a familiar red cocktail dress. He was nowhere to be seen.
“Ah I knew that dress would look beautiful on you.” A voice came from behind me, making me jump. I gulped as I turned around and saw Him stood in front of me. He scoffed. “Is that how you greet your boyfriend on your anniversary party?” He asked. He moved closer to me and raised his hand to slap me across the face. “Now, greet me properly, you dumb bitch.”
“Happy anniversary, Jackson.” I said quietly. He grabbed hold of my jaw, his fingers digging in hard. 
“Hmm, happy anniversary to you too.” He kissed me, instantly slipping his tongue into my mouth. “Now go and greet our guests and offer them some refreshments.” He ordered, smacking my ass. I nodded and left the room to go to the kitchen, grabbing the tray with the champagne flutes.
I walked over to the first group of people, realizing them to be some of Jackson’s friends from work. “Hello, thank you so much for coming.” I said with a smile. “Can I offer you a drink?”
“Ah, hello darling. Thank you for the invite.” One of his colleagues, Yugyeom, said with a smile. “Happy anniversary to you and Jackson. He was very excited about your present today.”
“Oh, I’m sure it will be a very good present.” I smiled, as they all took a glass. “I’ll see you all later at dinner.” I bowed as I walked away to the next group of people. Soon the glasses of champagne were replaced with red wine as dinner loomed nearer. 
“Y/N, come here a second.” Jackson called me over. I carefully walked over, ensuring I did not trip and spill the red wine on anything otherwise it would stain and Jackson would get mad at me. “Is the dinner ready to be served yet?”
“The cook said it would be another five minutes. They are just plating everything. They’ll come and ring the bell when it’s time for everyone to be seated.” Just after I spoke, one of the cooks came out and rang the bell, indicating it was time to eat. “It’s ready now, I guess.”
“I didn’t realize.” Jackson rolled his eyes and pushed past me, causing me to spill the red wine all over his white suit jacket. 
“Oh, I’m so sorry. Jackson, it was an accident.” I said quickly. He grabbed hold of my wrist and squeezed tightly.
“You will put down that tray and then follow me upstairs. Say you are going to help me with my jacket if anyone asks.” He said slowly, his eyes blazing with anger. I nodded timidly and set down the tray, following him out of the room.
Upstairs, he took off his jacket and turned to face me, clicking his knuckles as he tilted his head to the side, watching me like I was his prey. My heart began to hammer in my chest as I glanced up at him.
“I didn’t say you could look at me.” He said, making me look down at my feet. “Get on your knees you little bitch and apologize for ruining my expensive suit!” He shouted, shoving me down.
“I’m sorry for spilling wine on your jacket, Jackson, I am clumsy and lost my footing on the way back to the kitchen. I will make sure it never happens again. Please don’t hurt me.”
“You’re damn right it won’t.” He said. “Now...” I heard his belt unbuckle and him pull out through the loops in his trousers. “You’re going to take your punishment and then you’re going to stay up here. You don’t deserve to eat. You need to earn it.” I heard him fold the belt and felt him pull down the straps of my dress. 
I yelped as the belt hit my shoulder. He was holding it with the buckle in his hand, but I knew that would change. There was another hit, and then another. He continued until I was begging him to stop.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Please don’t hurt me.” I cried. He just scoffed and paused while he readjusted his grip before hitting me again, this time with the belt buckle. I felt it rip my skin open as it made contact and felt the hot blood trickle down my back. He hit me another ten times before he threw the belt on the bed and knelt down in front of me.
“Now, stay up here and don’t make a sound. I’m going to lock the door behind me so you don’t even try to get out.” He grabbed hold of my hair and pulled me up, making me cry out in pain. “Go do whatever you want with yourself. I don’t care.” He threw me into the corner of the room, leaving me crying and broken. I curled up in the corner, letting the tears roll down my face. I wasn’t going to be able to last much longer in this environment. I had to try and get out, whether that be I run away or end everything. 
Why did my mind have to grace me with such a cruel yet calming dream? Why could I not be there? I knew that was how I was supposed to be treated in a relationship, but there was the fear of no one wanting me ever again with all my emotional baggage.
I let my brain drift away and shut down slightly to drown out the pain of the wounds on my back. I could hear faint voices, singing one of my favorite songs that would calm me down.
허공을 떠도는 작은 먼지처럼, 작은 먼지처럼 날리는 눈이 나라면 조금 더 빨리 네게 닿을 수 있을 텐데
눈꽃이 떨어져요 또 조금씩 멀어져요 보고 싶다 (보고 싶다) 보고 싶다 (보고 싶다) 얼마나 기다려야 또 몇 밤을 더 새워야 널 보게 될까 (널 보게 될까) 만나게 될까 (만나게 될까, ooh-ooh-ooh)
추운 겨울 끝을 지나 다시 봄날이 올 때까지 꽃 피울 때까지 그곳에 좀 더 머물러줘, 머물러줘
Translation:
Like the tiny dust, tiny dust floating in the air Will I get to you a little faster If I was the snow in the air
Snowflakes fall down And get farther away little by little I miss you (I miss you) I miss you (I miss you) How long do I have to wait And how many sleepless nights do I have to spend To see you (to see you) To meet you (to meet you)
Passing by the edge of the cold winter Until the days of spring Until the days of flower blossoms Please stay, please stay there a little longer
“Y/N? Can you hear me?” I heard someone call out to me. It sounded like Jimin. Was my brain really tricking me again?
“It’s not real. It’s not real. It’s not real.” I murmured to myself.
“No, princess, this is real. We are real.” Jimin said gently. “Come on, come back to me. To us. You’re stuck inside your mind. Just listen to my voice.” I could feel a hand on my shoulder and voices talking to me. My vision began to become fuzzy and then clear. I was back in Yoongi’s apartment. This was real. That was just a memory. A horrible memory.
“Jimin.” I cried out before dissolving into tears in his arms. “It was him. It was Jackson. I was back with him. I didn’t mean to spill the wine. It was an accident.”
He pulled me onto his lap. “You are okay. You’re safe. I’m here with you. Jungkook is here with you. Jin is here with you. Taehyung is here with you. We’re all here with you.” He rocked me gently from side to side, his hands rubbing a soothing rhythm on my back.
“Please don’t let him hurt me again.” I sobbed.
“Hey, shh, don’t cry, princess.” Jimin said, his voice cracking slightly. Was he crying? “I can’t stand it when you cry.” He admitted. “It breaks my heart.”
“Sweetheart, can you tell us what happened?” Jin asked, taking hold of my hand.
“I...” I sniffed, rubbing my eyes. “I’m not sure what happened. All I know is Yoongi raised his voice and made an action like he was about to hit something and then I was back there.” I took a deep breath to try and calm myself down. “It was strange. It was like I was reliving the past with no memory of what happened during that time, but I remembered all of you. I thought this was all just a dream.”
“This is not a dream.” Taehyung said gently, still keeping his distance. “But I’m slightly confused. Who’s Jackson?”
“Jackson is my abusive ex who I had run away from the night I met Yoongi.” I replied. “I don’t really like to talk about him because he caused some of the darkest moments in my life.”
“He sounds horrible. I’m glad you got away and found us.” Taehyung said.
I smiled at him. “I’m glad too.” I turned to look at Jungkook who was sat facing the wall. “Koo? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m fine.” Jungkook said, wiping his eyes quickly with his sleeve.
“No, you’re not.” I got off of Jimin’s lap and knelt down in front of him. “Why are you crying?”
“I was scared we had lost you. I was scared you had gone to a really dark place and were not going to be able to get out of it. It was so painful to watch.” He said quietly. “But you’re okay now, so I’ll be okay too.” He leaned down and kissed my lips gently. “I’ll always be okay if you are okay.”
“Thank you.” I smiled. I turned and saw Taehyung stood there awkwardly still. It was strange. I looked at him and in that moment I understood why he had said everything he had said. He was just scared and wasn’t sure how to deal with it, like I was. He dealt with his fear in a way he saw best, as did I, even if we were both wrong. “Tae.”
He looked at me and hummed. “What’s wrong? Do you guys need some privacy because I can go if you need me to.”
“No, Tae, I just wanted to say that I forgive you. I understand why you did what you did. You were like me, sort of. We were both scared of the situations we found ourselves in and the ways we dealt with it, no matter how bad they seem now, were what we thought was right at the time.”
“Do you... do you mean that?” He asked. I nodded, causing a boxy smile to form on his face. “Thank you. I’ll be the best boyfriend ever!” He pulled me into a hug, his tall frame completely enveloping mine.
“I think you have a few other competitors for that title.” I laughed, making him shrug.
“I don’t see them as competition.” There was a knock at the door, making us move apart.
“Who is it?” Jin called.
“It’s Yoongi. Can I come in? Please, I need to see her.” I heard Yoongi’s muffled voice say from behind the door. Jimin looked over to me. I looked between him and the door, trying to decide what to do. 
“I...” I trailed off. He did shout at me and cause me to have a flashback for the first time, but that was not his fault. “Let him in.”
“Are you sure, darling?” Taehyung asked. I nodded. 
“I have you four, don’t I?” I said. “My four protectors.”
“Your four protectors.” Taehyung confirmed, hugging me from behind and resting his chin on the top of my head. I sat down on the bed and Jimin looked at me once more before opening the door.
“Princess.” Yoongi came over to me and knelt in front of me. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you scared. I honestly didn’t know.” He said. His eyes were red and puffy. I could tell he had been crying.
“You caused her to have a flashback, Yoongi hyung.” Jimin said curtly.
“No.” Yoongi sat down on the floor in shock. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m such a terrible boyfriend. You should just reject me as your soulmate right now.” I looked at the other four, silently telling them to leave us alone. Jimin looked unsure, but allowed Taehyung to pull him out of the room.
“Yoongi, it was a mistake. You couldn’t have known. Even I didn’t know.” I said. “This is not your fault. It’s mine for having such a broken mind that it can’t even deal with a simple argument.” Yoongi looked up at me with a frown.
“Don’t you ever, ever say it is your fault. None of this is your fault. Don’t you ever say that, jagiya.” He said sternly, holding my hands.
“I forgive you, Yoon.” I said gently. “I will always forgive you. I love you so much.”
“I love you too, jagiya. I’m so sorry.” He said, leaning up to connect our lips.
“Where are Hoseok and Namjoon?” I asked.
“I sent them off to get pizza and lots and lots of snacks.” He said. “You said you wanted a movie night, and so I’m going to give you the best movie night ever.” He flashed his gummy smile at me, making me fall in love with him even more, and feel the safest I have ever felt in my life. All of them did.

A/N: this started as a YouTube comment under this video. it was originally just the first section and intended to be a cute little prelude to the video, but other users asked if I could continue the story, so here you go :) this is the first story I've ever written for the public eye, which due to hesitation combined with college is why it took so long as some of you know, so I’m really sorry for the long wait! enjoy 💝 (btw, the video makes a really good audio background for the story 😉)
* * * * *
You've been working all day in your studio. Being a producer for BigHit Entertainment is fun and all, but you've been having a creative block for a while and it's hard to focus on making music. It doesn't help that you've also had a lot on your mind lately, as there are a handful of things going on in your personal life right now. You get discontented as you look at the progress you've made so far and decide it's not a good amount for a day's worth of work. You should stay a bit late tonight. But what good would that do if you can't seem to think of anything anyway? Maybe a break will refresh your mind.
You make a stop at the restroom before refilling your plastic drink container at a water fountain. It's pitch dark outside and through the window you can see the millions of Seoul's city lights. Suddenly you hear the soft swishing of sandals on the tile floors and you turn around to see none other than Suga. He goes to a refrigerator that's across the room from you and grabs his favorite drink. As he cracks open the lid, he looks over at you.
"You're not going home yet?" he asks.
"Nah, I'm working late."
Suga nods his head at your response and calmly takes a sip of his drink. He then makes his way toward the hallway that you both came from, but you stop him.
"Hey, uh... work has been slow lately. Can I chill in your studio with you?"
He seems a bit surprised as he stares blankly at you for a couple seconds. "In my studio?"
You two have only passed by each other in the company building a few times and made small talk maybe once. You don't know why you asked him such a question when you barely know each other. Maybe you just want to know what being in the "Genius Lab" is like.
"Yeah. I don't know," you reply, "I just thought maybe it would clear my head, y'know? You can keep working like you usually do, I won't bother you."
He takes another sip before nodding his head again. "Okay." He starts walking down the hallway and you follow.
*
Why did he agree so easily? Suga is one of the most reclusive individuals in this company. Min Yoongi, rapper and producer of the Bulletproof Boy Scouts, "the guy with no emotion or energy." He barely lets his own group members in, let alone anyone else who works here. Is it because you're both producers? Maybe he relates to the "staying late" kind of thing, or the fact that production has been slow and a change of scenery is needed. Your coworkers have told you before that once he gets into work mode, he tends to stay here until way late into the night. Or, maybe he just wants to get to know you since you're the newly hired producer everyone was talking about. You’ve learned pretty fast that word seems to go around here quicker than rumors in high school.
After walking down a couple hallways, Suga stops at a frosted glass door with a number lock on it. He punches in the passcode while you look in another direction. When he opens the door, there’s... another glass door right behind it. For soundproofing? Once that door is open, you're surprised to see a charming room with a full-fledged studio. It's nothing like your quaint little office room, which looks more like a teenager stuffed their childhood PC and desk into a closet with some soundboards and a guitar. Suga's studio is decked out with multiple desks, shelves, what you recognize as nice music equipment, and a couch. Papers lay in a pile next to a bottle of wine and a glass. A sports jersey with the number 93 and "Suga" on it is pulled over the back of an office chair. Figures of various characters decorate the room. You feel like you just walked into the college dorm room of a swaggy rich-kid music major.
Suga holds the second door open and watches while you walk in behind him and close the first. The number lock outside makes a noise shortly after the door is closed. The two of you shuffle inside and you take a seat on the couch next to the door, noticing the wine on his desk. Doesn't alcohol make you sleepy instead of keeping you awake? He seems to need an energy boost, although he always looks tired when you see him. One of the many joys of having a die-hard passion: your work being a higher priority to you than basic human needs such as sleep. He caps his drink and puts it behind his computer keyboard before turning his chair and slumping into it. He takes off his hat and ruffles the hair he didn't bother to do anything to today.
"I really like your studio," you say while eyeing around. You take in all of the nice details, from the decal stickers on his air conditioner to the cute little figurines everywhere. He seems to like bears, evident by the many Kumamon and Kaws figures. He also seems to like sports due to the jersey on his chair and a figurine of a basketball player behind his computer monitor.
"Thanks," he says to your compliment. "Are you hungry? I keep snacks in here, if you want any." He points to a shelf with various small packages of food sitting in a pile. You grab a Kit Kat and thank him, which earns a hum in reply. He puts his hat back on and swivels to his computer monitor, which has a MIDI project in progress. You can't help but scan over the interface and pick up on all of the details of the song he's producing. MIDI is kinda your thing, too. You wonder what he's writing about. It's probably a deep and poetic message. You've listened to some of the tracks he’s produced and written before and was pleasantly surprised by how talented he is. He seems to understand how life works and knows how to put ideas into words in a way that leaves you wondering how deep and articulate a person can be. You get a familiar urge to talk all about life and gush over music with him, but you remember your promise that you wouldn't bother him and decide to just sit back and listen to the sounds of his studio.
A fairly long time goes by before either of you say anything. His studio has a great atmosphere. No wonder he's able to lock himself up in here for so many hours every day. His AC is on high, necessary for Seoul's hot summer nights. His keyboard makes nice clicking sounds. He rolls to and fro in his chair between the desks and a synthesizer keyboard, typing, playing, writing, working away on his late-night song. He's pretty quiet, save an occasional clearing of his throat or groaning while stretching. You notice how relaxed and graceful his movements are. He's like a cat. A cat who makes songs.
* *
After you observe this mysterious person for a while, your mind starts to wander. All of the things that you kept stuffed in the back of your busy mind during this whole hiring and moving process recently have caught up to your conscience and dragged you into deep thought. You didn't just push them as far back as they would go because you needed to focus on other things and get stuff done; they're negative thoughts that you know can affect you a lot if you think about them too much. Your mind wanders back to your past, the life you knew before this. You remember the fights you would have with your parents, who just didn't understand why you would want to "throw away" your future and become a musician instead of having a normal, secure job like the rest of your family. Music never really ran in the family until you came along. Most kids played sports or video games, or watched TV, or heck, even read books. Not you. You just had to have a musical instrument for your 10th birthday, after years of begging for one and your parents finally giving in to your persistent wish. It was a new world for you the day you finally got to hold it in your arms; a beautiful, shiny, classic-style, 6-string acoustic guitar that smelled of wood and the soft interior of the case it came with. Hours of playing every day, with you alone in your bedroom, happily strumming your new treasure until your fingertips had indentations and cracks in them from the tough wire strings. Your mother would shake her head as she popped your blisters over the bathroom sink and dressed them with bandages after washing clean. You learned every technique and trick using the dirt-old computer in the living room that everyone in the house used. Laggy YouTube videos and tutorials from various websites were your music teachers. And you had a knack for it, too. It got to the point where your time playing was restricted by your parents to make you go play outside and spend time with other kids like a normal child. When you moved on to middle school, your parents bought you your own laptop so that you could have something to do your school projects on without it lagging and crashing all the time, and that's when you discovered MIDI. Your life from then on was making songs with the software that you begged your parents for, who only agreed to buy it for you with the promise that it wouldn’t get in the way of school or your other responsibilities.
And then came high school. And the nagging. Oh, the constant nagging about your grades, chores, college, your future career, adult life, and the hobby that's taking over your life and why can't you just be a good child and do what your parents want for your future. Your grades were perfectly fine, straight A's even. You didn't understand why no matter how hard you worked and how long you studied, your parents weren't happy. You poured your heart and soul into every assignment, never got into trouble, helped around the house whenever you had the chance, obeyed your parents as perfectly as you could... Why couldn't they accept the fact that your music didn't hinder your life at all and it meant so much to you, that you were happiest doing this one harmless activity? Music was in your blood. It gave you a reason to get up in the morning and distracted you from the immense pressure you felt from your parents and responsibilities, if only for a small amount of time. You couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with you and that you never did good enough, even though you were an excellent student and a talented musician. Is this so wrong? Is it really a bad thing to pursue music as a career? Should you follow your dreams, or are your parents right and you're just being delusional? You were even pretty popular at school. Everyone knew you as the smart kid that makes really good music with a computer program. You've been asked countless times by others if they can listen to your tracks and when your first mixtape is coming out. The cool kids would invite you to sit with them at lunch because they were convinced you would become the next big pop artist. Your guitar covers of popular songs, and especially your original compositions, always blew up on your Instagram page, with your close friends hyping you up in all of the comment sections. "It's that music you're always making," your parents would say. "It won't get you anywhere in life. You need to focus on more important things." All of your friends got good scholarships for being talented athletes, actors, writers, for winning top places at science fairs, and you just--
Suddenly a song starts to play through Suga's speakers and you startle because of the new (and kind of loud) noise. It's a sweet, upbeat song with a female's voice singing. Not what you would expect a rapper like Suga to listen to, but hey, no judgment here. He periodically pauses it and plays it again, probably listening to every little detail the song has to offer. Producers tend to do that. At some point he leans back in his chair, crosses his fingers over his midsection, and stares at his monitor, slowly turning his chair from left to right with the tips of his feet. You'd recognize that pose anywhere. That's the position of someone who's used all of the ideas they had in their brain at that moment and now they have to think of more.
"What’s your song about?" you ask after a while of him being in the same position. He abruptly turns to look at you with the same blank expression he always has. Did he forget you were there? You also remember a little too late that you had promised you would leave him alone.
"Uh..." He takes a minute to find his words, smacking his lips and making an oddly cute slurping noise. "It's a more personal track than most. About struggles I’ve faced in my past."
You give him a knowing hum and slowly nod your head. Nothing you haven't heard of before. With a long history of having an interest in music, you’ve experienced more than your fair share of music artists pouring their hearts out through song. You wonder what kind of things he's been through. With someone as chill and mysterious as him, you never really know.
"Those are the best kind of songs," you say with a smile. "They're always so meaningful." Suga gives a small smile back.
"Yeah. Can't go wrong with a personal touch." He looks at his monitor for a moment and then turns his chair to face you. "Do you want to listen? I could use another producer's input."
"Oh, yes please," you say. With that, Suga turns back to his computer, drags the bar to the beginning of the track, and presses play.
* * *
His song starts with a slow but heavy rhythm. You pick up every little sound from the instrumental, tasting every individual detail that hits your ears like a professional taste-tester identifying the many overlapping flavors of a dish. Each note makes a burst of color in your mind, painting a unique and beautiful mural that can only be understood by hearing the song as intuitively as your highly music-trained ears are doing right now. He's already recorded a vocal lead, which matches the heavy tone of the song. Your focus on the instrumental doesn't falter as you accept another thing to add to the blooming artwork in your head: Suga's voice. His tone, his gruff vocal effects, his breathing techniques, his flow, his choice of words. They all flow together to tell a story, one that puts Suga's deepest thoughts and feelings on full display. You feel like a projector inside of his brain is playing a film of his thinking process out in the open, where you have a perfect view.
All of a sudden, you forget to judge his song anymore and just process the lyrics, which hit you right in the heart, verse after verse. His words are filled with hurt, confusion, anger, and fear. You almost can't believe that someone as apparently calm and collected as Suga has all of these thoughts that he so rawly expressed through his rap. Although everyone has painful parts of their lives, and what better way for them to be expressed than through song?
The song builds in intensity towards the end, finishing with exceptionally heavy-hitting lines, the instrumental ending as soon as the last word is delivered and its last breath fading out shortly after. Suga had been watching you from time to time, scanning your face for any expression. After the song ends, your eyes meet with his. "Did you... Those lyrics are true? Did those things really happen?"
He gives you a nod and hums a simple "mhmm". He then shifts in his chair, straightening his posture and leaning forward on his thighs with his forearms. "I wanted to make a song that was more genuine than the typical songs you hear on the radio. Those songs... Sure, they're about real things, like being in love and breakups. But those topics have been used so much that it’s all you hear about anymore." He’s very articulate and slow when he speaks. "You never hear about the darker things because everyone is expected to be all hush-hush about it. Everyone gets uncomfortable when someone so much as just alludes to it. I want to change that." He notices your expression before quickly adding, "Was it too much?"
You guess your face held more concern or shock -- you aren't sure which exactly -- than you intended it to. "Oh! No, I was just a little surprised, that's all. Whenever I see you or hear about you, you seem like such an unbothered person. I didn’t expect you to have dealt with things of that nature," you point in the general direction of his computer. "It wasn't too much. I think it's good to express those things too, no matter how rough or off-putting they might seem. They make songs much more powerful. I’m really impressed you want to do something like that, and so publicly too." South Korea isn’t the most advanced country when it comes to social aspects. In fact, you would say it’s one of the world’s societies with the strictest social standards. "As for the music quality... I thought it was amazing! I love your choice of instruments, and the build-up was seamless. Your flow was really nice. You have good breath control and vocal techniques; I can tell you put a lot of work into perfecting it. Overall, I thought it was a really good song."
Suga gives a big smile, showing off his small white teeth and pink gums. You've barely seen him crack a smile until now, so it looks like he's literally glowing to you. "I'm glad you like it."
You think for a moment before asking, "You don't express yourself much other than with music, do you?"
"Nah, not really." Suga scratches the back of his neck. "I’m not good at expressing my feelings, except when I make music. So... music is kinda my outlet."
If you thought Suga was mysterious before, he's definitely got your curiosity going now. He seems like he has so much underneath his cool exterior. If you were surprised by his true thoughts in one 4-minute song, who knows what else is locked inside that brain of his? You want to know everything about this person sitting in front of you, the things he’s experienced so far, what seeing through his eyes is like, what inspires and motivates him. You carefully push further. "Can I ask more about the lyrics?"
* * * *
"...When I told them I wanted to make music, they heavily disapproved. They had a really hard time when they were growing up and in adulthood, and they didn’t want their child to face the same struggles, so they wanted me to have a stable career instead." Suga describes his relationship with his parents when he was young, and it sounds eerily similar to yours. "I started making music when I was 13. That was when I decided that it was the path I wanted to take. I didn't care about school anymore since my life was in music, so I lazed through it and barely passed all of my classes. Honestly, I’m surprised I graduated." He describes the odd jobs he worked while he was still in the process of getting his music career started, his experiences with being scammed out of his work and not even being able to afford basic needs, and the underground rap scene. "I wanted to be a producer for Bighit, but they told me I should audition to be an idol instead. So... here I am now."
It makes sense now. He is the way he is because he’s had one of the roughest handfuls of experiences you’ve heard from someone you knew personally. One’s developmental years being full of betrayal and misunderstanding would make anyone shut everyone out and build emotional walls.
You repay his openness by telling him about yourself and your past. What it was like growing up in a household similar to his, always doing the best you can to try and prove yourself, going to college since it’s sooo important to secure your future with a degree (although you majored in music despite your parents’ disapproval), and working odd jobs and getting scholarships to be able to afford it. You joined a program that sent you to Seoul to study abroad, the unofficial "city of music". The program also had an internship integration, which you used to become an intern at BigHit Entertainment in their production team. They were so impressed with you that they kept in touch through the rest of your college process, and as soon as you finished your degree and were now qualified, they hired you as an official producer. They even helped you find housing here, a neat little studio apartment.
After sharing your mutual experiences and understanding for each other, one burning question still lingered in your mind: Why? Why did he let you in so easily? You’ve only just met today, and he basically took his heart out and gave it to you to hold. Your curiosity gets the better of you. "So... Can I ask why you decided to tell me all this? And why you let me in here in the first place? I mean-- other than the fact that I asked you to... but still, you could have said no and it would have been totally fine, and honestly I thought that’s what you would say. You seem like the kind of person that’s not very open with people, especially people you’ve just met."
He seems to think about what you said for a second, and you realize you may have said something wrong and quickly correct yourself. "Not that that’s a bad thing! I have friends like that back home, it’s understandable. They’re just like that. They’re super cool people."
He gives a light chuckle. "No no, I know what you mean. I get that a lot, actually. Lots of people think I’m a cold person. I guess it makes sense, with me not being very sociable." He looks away and scratches behind his ear for a second. "Uh... I just had a feeling. There was something about you, y’know? And I’ve also had times where I needed to clear my head. Wanted to just be with someone and not talk. I tend to be really intuitive about other people, so I wanted to get to know you better. Turns out, I was right. You’re as cool of a person as I thought you would be." A small smile spreads across his face and makes his cheeks look like dumplings.
You laugh at that. "A feeling, huh? Do we have similar personalities?" You poke a little fun at him. "Are you some kind of sorcerer or a fortune teller? Or are we both just geniuses and your genius radar was going off?"
He laughs and then shrugs. "I’ll go with the genius part. I guess great minds think alike."

Gif by me! Yes it's Teresa but it still fits & I only care that it's his hand lol
«Oh my god, I'm melting!» Celina yells in her phone enthusiastically. You giggle as you wait for her eagerness to calm down.
You had barely taken your shoes and jacket off after getting inside your apartment when you immediately dialed up Celina's number to tell her about the night. You feel like you're having an out of body experience. Sure, your heart is still guarded and unfortunately, you'll most likely have your doubts throughout the relationship, but you truly feel like this could go somewhere. You want to give yourself that chance and allow Marcus to help heal your heart, maybe doing the same for him in return.
"So he's picking me up on Saturday and I'm freaking out a little," you say and chew on the skin around your nail beds.
«Why? Don't be! Just treat it like how you did tonight!» She encourages.
"But it's a legitimate date this time, I have to do my hair and makeup perfectly and find the perfect outfit and-"
«Girl, have you seen your closet? You have nothing but perfect outfits!» She teases and you chuckle, lowering your fingers from your mouth.
«You don't need to try to be perfect hun, just be yourself! Be the girl he has already seen in front of him.» You smile at her heartfelt words. «I bet he's already in love with you!»
"Okay, you're not helping!" You laugh, placing your hand on your forehead. "I'll talk to you later, I'm going to try and get some sleep. I'll probably be calling you on Saturday so I can freak out some more."
You say your goodbyes and hang up, sinking yourself into your couch and smiling widely. Your head is buzzing from a sugar rush, but you can't tell if it's because of the pancakes or because of Marcus. You walk to the kitchen to make some sleepytime tea, hoping it'll relax your nerves enough for you to get some shut eye.
* * * *
You take a shower and climb into your comfy pajamas and the tea works its magic as you relax on your plush bed, surrounding yourself with pillows and your soft blanket enveloping you in warmth. Your eyes get heavy and you feel yourself on the brink of sleep when you hear your phone vibrate on the nightstand. You try to ignore it, but it vibrates again and you figure it's Celina probably sending you a funny video. Your curiosity gets the better of you and you reach over to grab your phone, the brightness from the screen stinging your eyes from the time they had adjusted to the darkness. You blink a few times until you can see the screen clearly.
555-9057: Hi Dulce :)
555-9057: Made it home. I had a great time :)
You bite your lip and smile at the messages on your lock screen, heat flashing through your head seeing him call you the nickname you gave yourself in his phone. And just like that, you're wide awake again. You unlock your phone and before you can type a reply, he sends another message.
555-9057: It's Marcus btw
Marcus groans to himself as he sends that last message. What the hell was that? Of course she knows it's you. Dumbass. He watches the screen and holds his breath when he sees the text bubbles pop up and he waits nervously for your reply.
Dulce💋: I'm glad you specified! Right after you dropped me off another guy took me out for dulce de leche pancakes and I also penned myself as Dulce in his phone 🤭
He chuckles out loud in the quiet atmosphere of his apartment, the sound bouncing against the walls and reverberating around the living room. Damn, she's good.
555-9057: Okay okay you got me, don't have to be so mean :P
So he's a classic emoji kind of guy, you smile as you make a note and file it in the little 'Marcus Pike' folder in your brain. You hit his phone number and tap the plus symbol to make a new contact in your phone. For some reason, you find yourself struggling as you try to figure out what to put his contact name as.
Agent Cutie
Nope, delete.
Agent Pike
What are you, his secretary? Delete delete.
Marcus
Should I put an emoji? Which one? Can't be a heart. You are seriously overthinking this.
Marcus Pike
Yeah, okay. I guess.
Me: Why did it take so long to get home? Do you live far?
Marcus Pike: It was about 30 min from your place :) not too bad
Thirty minutes?! Great, now I feel bad.
Dulce💋: Wth if I had known I wouldn't have let you drop me off! 🙄
Me: Don't worry about it! I was more than happy to ;)
Shit shit shit I didn't mean the wink! Why are they right next to each other?! Do I say something? Oh god, way to go, you ruined it.
Dulce💋: Then I'll give you gas money!
Marcus takes a breath of relief when he sees that you sidestepped his accidental wink emoji. After he catches his breath, his phone chimes again.
Dulce💋: And I won't take no for an answer 😉
Okay, there's no way she sent that by accident. Is she flirting with me? Do I flirt back? Why are my hands so sweaty?
Dulce💋: It's time for bed, those pancakes made me sleepy 😴 good night Marcus ☺️ See you Saturday!
Marcus smiles to himself and he anticipates seeing you on Saturday. He sends you another text and walks to his restroom to take a quick shower before climbing in bed.
Marcus Pike: Can't wait :) good night!
There's no way you can sleep now, but you said good night for his sake; he had a long day at work, plus he took you out and then had a long drive home. You know he must be tired. Your heart races as you scroll through your short text conversation, rereading the messages and giggling softly.
Did he mean to wink? It was probably an accident, considering he types out emojis instead of using the newer, more convenient ones. You just couldn't help but send one back, though; hiding behind the screen helped you to flirt openly with him. You roll onto your side to face the TV on your dresser, turning on a true crime documentary and letting it eventually lull you to sleep.
* * * *
Saturday comes around quickly, much to your delight, but as you wander around your room looking at the many outfits you laid out on your bed, your dresser, even on your couch, the nerves set in fast. You pray to whoever’s listening that you don’t seize up when Marcus picks you up. Which is in fifteen minutes. You already have your hair and makeup done, all you need is to pick an outfit. Simple in theory. Just pick one! You chew your lip nervously out of habit before stopping as soon as you realize you probably just messed up the red lipstick you had applied earlier.
You rush to the bathroom mirror and sure enough, there's a bare spot on your bottom lip and the lipstick has transferred to your front teeth. You groan in frustration and grab a makeup wipe to carefully remove the ruined lipstick and you brush your teeth again until it's all gone. You reapply the same shade of red, pleasantly surprised with yourself that it came out better than the first time. You take a deep breath and try to calm down, telling yourself that the first outfit you land your eyes on will be the one you wear. You count down from three in your head and enter your bedroom.
Okay, maybe not that one. You decide to close your eyes and try again. When you open your eyes, they land on a different outfit. Not that one either. You sigh harshly through your nose. Why is this so hard? You walk over to your nearly empty closet for the umpteenth time and your eyes catch on to a dress hidden in the corner that you had surprisingly missed before. This one.
It's a spaghetti strapped, black, bodycon dress with a lace overlay, flowers printed on the fabric throughout. It hugs your body in all the right places, reaching down to your knees, and you take a look in the floor length mirror next to your dresser as you put on your black, open-toed heels, smiling brightly as you feel confidence shooting through your veins.
Adrenaline gets mixed in as soon as you hear a knock on your door. Five on the dot. You grab your black cardigan and purse off the couch and open the door, your breath taken away by the handsome man in front of you. He's carrying a box of chocolates and it fumbles in his hands, nearly falling once his wide eyes see you. He looks at you from head to toe, making your heart race as you feel heat rushing over your body in line with his gaze and you shift your weight from side to side anxiously.
"Wow," he says breathlessly, unable to say anything afterwards.
"Wow yourself," you smile, looking over his own outfit: a navy blue suit and a black, button up shirt underneath, paired with black dress shoes. He slicked his hair back and cleaned up his beard slightly. He really is a gorgeous man.
"Uh," he stutters and glances to the box in his unknowingly tight grasp. "These are for you," he smiles shyly as he hands you the chocolates.
"Thank you," you say, giggling at the indents his fingers made on the sides of the box and you turn around to leave them on your entryway table.
You turn back to face him and see his eyes look up quickly and you wonder if you just caught him staring at your bottom. Your suspicion is confirmed when his cheeks flush pink. You laugh softly and he holds his arm out to you.
"Ready?" He asks and you can hear the nervousness in his voice.
You nod and link your arm in his, letting him help you down the stairs. You're starting to love the way his arm hugs yours as you walk and the warmth of his body mixing with yours. Your footsteps even sync up together in a slow cadence. He walks you to his car, letting you hold your weight with his arm as you slowly lower in the seat, your movement restricted by your tight dress and high heels.
You thank him once you're seated, buckling your seatbelt, and he walks to his side, sitting down and starting the car. You notice the radio is on this time, playing at a low volume, and you think to yourself that he probably only forgot to turn it on last time.
The aura is tense in the car, both of your nervous energies dancing in the air together to the music. You try to think of something to say, resorting to looking through your mental file of basic conversation starters. The weather? No, too basic. Say something about the music. No-
"You look really beautiful," Marcus finally breaks the silence. Your head snaps up to look in his direction and you share a smile, thanking him and returning the compliment.
He takes his eyes off the road for a couple of seconds to look at you with a soft smile and turns his attention back to driving straight. He would keep his eyes on you if he could, but he'd rather not get into a car accident and ruin the night. So he just waits patiently until the next moment he can steal a glance. He takes a peek at you while you're stuck at a red light and he sees you picking at your cuticles nervously. He rubs his clammy palm on his pant leg, hoping to dry up any sweat present as much as possible. Before he can think twice about it, he reaches his hand over to grab yours.
Your heart jumps in your throat from the action and you look down in shock at his large hand covering yours completely. The blood rushes to your cheeks; his hand is rough from work, but soft and gentle enough that it's not uncomfortable. And warm. So warm. You stop picking your cuticles immediately, now memorizing the fine wrinkles in his hand and the ridges on his knuckles.
"Are you okay?" He asks, not moving his hand from your lap as he starts driving again.
"Yeah," your voice makes an embarrassing harmony, splitting in two different octaves from disuse. You swallow some saliva to lubricate your vocal cords and try speaking again.
"I'm just a little nervous," you admit.
His hand is still resting on top of yours; you're not sure if you should open your hand up to face your palms together and hold his hand as well. Alas, you take too long to make a decision and he pulls his hand away to grasp the steering wheel, bracing for a left turn.
"Please don't be nervous," he smiles with his pearly white teeth and it only makes you more nervous. How is he this handsome?
"It's just me," he adds as he pulls up to the restaurant, putting the car in park and removing the key from the ignition.
"'Just you'?" You quote him inquisitively. He nods and you shake your head with a small chuckle.
"What?" He chuckles with you.
"It's not 'just you' though, is it?" You reply softly.
You wonder if he's uncertain of himself and his ability to make women — i.e. you — weak in the knees. He seems oblivious to it and it makes him all the more charming to you. You see his eyebrows furrow and before he can ask what you mean, you turn to open the car door.
"Wait," he tells you, rushing out of his seat and over to you to help you out.
You wanted to manage it yourself, but you know you must look ridiculous with how bad you're struggling to get out of the car. He chuckles at the sight once he's on your side and he holds his arm out. You hold onto his forearm tightly and pull yourself upward as he lifts you as well until you're firmly planted on your feet.
"Maybe this dress wasn't a good idea after all," you giggle.
"I think it was," he flirts and you look away as you smile shyly.
You walk together up the steps to the front of the restaurant and Marcus apologizes for not warning you about the stairs. You tell him not to worry and though you can feel the ache in the arches and heels of your feet, you don't complain. He holds the door open for you and you walk in, your eyes instantly catching on the glimmering, crystal chandelier hanging in the waiting area. The lights are dimmed in an amber glow and there are pillars with intricate carvings and vines wrapped around the stone throughout the entirety of the establishment.
You gasp to yourself; this place must be expensive. How did you go from pancakes at grandma's house to a fancy, Italian restaurant like this? Your ears catch the sounds of a violin, but it's too close to just be playing from a speaker. Sure enough, you look further into the restaurant and see a man in a suit playing a violin. A live violinist?! Marcus joins your side again and notices the look of astonishment on your face.
"What's wrong?" He asks and you jerk your head to look at him, not even realizing he was standing next to you.
"Marcus, this looks like it's going to be really expensive."
You whisper in his ear so you don't offend any of the staff members and the height from your heels allows you to reach his head a little better now. The hot breath from your mouth tickles his ear and a bolt of arousal shoots down his spine. He laughs it off and leans his mouth to your ear in return.
"I like to make a fuss," he says, the deep tone of his voice giving you goosebumps. "Don't worry about it," he says in his normal tone as he stands up straight again.
The maître d' greets you two as you walk up to the host stand and Marcus gives the man his name for the reservation. The maître d' informs Marcus the table is not quite ready yet, adding that you're welcome to wait at the bar. Marcus looks at you to get your opinion; you say yes and Marcus lightly places his hand on the middle of your back, guiding you as you walk over to the bar top together. You take a seat in the soft barstool; it's easier to sit on since it's basically at standing height. Marcus removes his hand from your back to take a seat, his fingers gliding against the delicate lace of your dress across your spine and you shudder. Thankfully, it goes unnoticed.
The back of the bar is riddled with an assortment of different liquors, both American and Italian, and they're resting on lit up shelves. You look at the drink menu and your mouth opens in horror at the prices listed. This is definitely too much money. The bartender comes your way and Marcus orders a campari and grapefruit juice, immersing himself fully in the Italian culture. You say you'll stick with water and excuse it as you not feeling like drinking tonight. Marcus doesn't question it further.
The two of you comment on the decor of the restaurant, mainly the paintings hanging on the walls, and you mention that you love the lilies resting in the painted, ceramic vases and Marcus takes note of that fact. A waitress walks up to you and Marcus to let you know your table is ready and he finishes the last of his drink and stands, offering you his hand this time instead of his arm. You smile as you take it, your heart thumping in your chest as you let him guide you while you both follow the waitress.
The restaurant is bustling; heavy sounds of conversation and cutlery clinking on plates as you walk through what seems the entirety of the restaurant until the waitress leads you to a small, private patio. A round table is seated there, covered by a red tablecloth and adorned with a single, tall candlestick, burning a light glow. There's a cylindrical basket full of bread sticks and two water glasses, condensation running along the sides and onto the cloth. Marcus pulls your chair out for you, helping you to sit and scooting you in and sits down across from you. You hang your cardigan and purse on the back of your chair and take the menu the waitress is holding out to you.
You both thank her and she leaves, stating she'll be back soon to take your order. You marvel at the privacy Marcus planned for you two and you take a sip of your ice cold water, reveling in the relief washing through your dry throat. You flip open your menu; the options are minimal and are all expensive. You immediately scan for the cheapest dish: a $30 plate of chicken cacciatore. You feel guilty; you never want Marcus to break his bank trying to take you on a date. You glance at him and wonder why he would do all of this just for you. Did he really think you were that special?
You find yourself missing that little pancake diner and the time you shared there. There, you only felt the budding emotions consistent with a high school crush, but in this moment now, it's real life and mature adult feelings and you feel it much stronger in this environment. Marcus senses your mood change and leans forward to ask if you're okay, but he's interrupted by the waitress. You order the 'cheap' chicken cacciatore and he orders the tajarin al tartufo. Whatever that is.
"Why did you order the cheapest dish?" Marcus asks once the waitress leaves.
"Because I wanted to," you give him a sly smile to convince him otherwise, but he sees right through you, giving you a look of disbelief. You sigh.
"Because Marcus, it's too much money," you say sadly. "I mean, how much was it to get this private patio set up?"
"That's not important to me," he shakes his head. "This is our first proper date and I wanted to make it special."
Damn it. Why is he so thoughtful? And so damn cute?
"It's not that I don't appreciate it, I'm blown away by this, but I'm just... I'm not used to it," you pull your lips into your mouth slightly, mindful of your lipstick.
"Is that why you didn't order a drink?" He asks. You give him a lopsided frown and shrug your shoulders, your expression answering him instead of your words. He sighs and tilts his head to the side.
"I don't want you to worry about how much everything costs when you're with me; let me spoil you. You deserve it."
Let me spoil you. You deserve it. His words float around in your head, your eyes filling with fondness at the thought. You didn't think you deserved to be spoiled; your ex made sure of that much. It's exhilarating to say the least; this man you barely know ready to do anything for you at any time. But you like it, and you think in time, you could learn to love it. Learn to love him. You blink wildly and you inconspicuously shake your head at that last thought.
It was definitely way too soon to be thinking like that and it scared you that it entered your mind at all. It must be the ambiance of the restaurant. You think about how you should protect yourself in case this takes a wrong turn and you debate on placing that in the priority spot in your mind. Marcus can see you fighting your own thoughts and he tries to lighten the mood.
"I also might be trying to impress you for real now," he smiles.
You chuckle and shake your head. Marcus thinks to himself how beautiful you look under the moonlight that's shining through the glass awning above your heads, face lit up by the glowing candle. He can't stop his mouth from saying what he wants to say, not in this romantic atmosphere.
"I think you're a wonderful, beautiful woman and... I really like you," he adds, reaching across the table for your hand and you let him hold it, tangling your fingers with his.
You're positive he can feel your pulse through your fingers or hear your heart pounding, the blood whooshing in your ears muffling any other sounds from coming in. As much as you want to protect yourself, the look in his eyes only draws you in and you can't hide the truth from him or yourself, your confession spoken out loud for the first time for you both.
"I like you, too, Marcus." He smiles happily at you.
There must be something in the water here.
"Do you think it would be okay to keep this up?" He asks, meaning the dates, and you can't stop your head from nodding yes and you give him a sweet smile.
Marcus lets go of your hand, letting his rest in front of him and you take a deep breath, trying to shake your nerves from the exchange that just took place between you. You grab a bread stick and attempt to take a small bite; you and Marcus laugh together as your small bite accidentally turns into a big one, the stick breaking in the wrong place and leaving a large chunk of bread hanging from your mouth. Of course, leave it to something awkward happening to you to break the tension. But anything to see his face come together in joyous laughter.
* * * *
"Thank you again Marcus, that was actually very delicious," you say while Marcus begins the drive back to your apartment. "I see why it was so expensive." He hums in agreement; his smile hasn't left his face since the restaurant.
You listen closely to the new song that comes on the radio, trying to make out the tune until it gets louder and you realize it's "At Last" by Etta James.
"I love this song," you say under your breath. Marcus hears you and turns up the volume slightly, earning a bright smile from you. You look back out the window and sing the lyrics softly.
At last, my love has come along,
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song.
Marcus's heart races as he listens to the lyrics being sung by you and they hit a little too close to his heart. You don't realize at first the meaning behind them, only enjoying singing along.
At last, the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover,
The night I looked at you.
You now realize the words are identical to how you feel. You wonder if you're falling too fast for Marcus. This was only your second date and there is still so much to learn about each other. You have a whole past to open up about, which will be a defining moment for your relationship. But as you look over at Marcus and you feel the tender organ in your chest beating fast, you think to yourself that it can't get much better than this. What's the harm in trying?
Chapter Two | Chapter Four
The Singer Masterlist
A/N: Okay just wanted to explain what Marcus ordered if you're interested! *DESCRIPTION OF FOOD/ALCOHOL COMING UP* I'm not an expert so correct me if I'm wrong! According to Google:
Campari is an Italian bitters made of fruit & herbs & you usually mix it with juice or club soda (hardcore Italians drink it straight up) & it's a pre-meal drink
Tajarin al tartufo is an egg pasta, made with more egg whites than traditional egg pastas, & topped with white truffle. Idk it sounded fancy & expensive 😂
Also, here's their outfit inspos! Just a couple of things I described differently like his shirt being black & her dress having lace instead of mesh.
Ofc Marcus in this suit 🥵 I copied the description lol

She was my best friend, my hero, my mom.
SATURDAY JULY 24th exactly two weeks ago from today. I wake up to a hot southern sunny day like any other day I call my mother like every morning to tell her I'm stopping by before arriving to work later that evening she tells me okay and that she loved me she was going to lay down for a short nap I'm sitting with my wife while lacing my boots my for work getting ready to head out I get a phone call from my aunt (moms sister) she's frantic screams yours moms not breathing my heart took a nose dive straight to the pit of my stomach I scream to call 911 and don’t stop CPR boots still half way laced me and wife hop in our she only lives bout 3 mins up the road from me so I high tail over there the ambulance was pulling her out while continuing cpr they say headed to the hospital follow us and side note the cop that pulled me off to the side to mention “its a good sign they are taking her to the hospital” I mean sure he meant well but fuck false hope right now I got to get to my mom. So me the wife and my aunt arrive at the hospital in record time we mask up rush in and get the info from them we are told to wait outside we comply. No more than two minutes later a lady comes out no in uniform just a hospital staff badge I knew it wasn’t long she was back there for them to have news already I knew the news was going to be bad. I grabbed my aunt's hand and ushered our way thru the doors. I tell her to say it just say it tell me to my surprise the lady started tearing up before I could react the doctors now come out to tell me Hes sorry for my lose and that they did everything they could in the tiny what 5 mins they had her whatever sure thank you anyways he confirms and what seems like a bad dream everything's falling away from me all around I lose all feeling in my legs brace my back against the cold hospital wall and slowly collapse. My wife lets out a noise of heartbreak and my aunt is I think in shock? They tell me to come tell her goodbye or do our last goodbye whatever I couldn’t physically walk into the room the confusion the questions the agony why is this happening I was coming to see u mom what happen? I went into the room I found the strength somewhere God only knows I sit there with her with my back turned I couldn���t bare to look at her my heart was completely broken. People say heartbreak sometimes hurts physically and I never could relate but they day I understood I got it that day it hurt like hell. Meanwhile my aunt gets a phone call. I'm the youngest (29) out of moms two girls my sister (34) calls and the worse time possible on speaker I head the operator say the usual automated voice recording “ you have a collect call from an inmate at the correctionally blah blah blah my siters been in prison for the past few years old fines recovering addict she's turned her life around me and mom were so proud of all she has accomplished and the changes she had made thus far release date was august 16th so close, eh? It angered me to my soul my mom had been looking forward to that day for a while she was so close I just was anger I was anger at god I was anger at the doctors I was anger at the world anyways my aunt tells her what's happening and she falls silent for what seem like forever and replied with you're lying and messing me stop don’t I cried for her I knew it was going to break my sister she had always feared something would happen while she was away putting her past behind her I just never really thought it would happen anyways she talks to my aunt my wife comes to my side tells me to kiss my mom bye and tell her that I loved her I sit there staring into what seem like nothing then I thought back to just a day ago me and mom had a conversation on her front porch swing and every time I was stressed or just needing advice my mom would reassure me I was okay the best advice I could ever receive and she ended that convo that day like always a hug and I saying she always said to me “you got this” with a smile so back to the hospital room I stood up gave my wife a half grin put  my shoulders back and stood tall kissed my mom's forehead and whisper near her “i got this” and left. That was the worse day of my life I lost my dad back in 2015 I took it pretty hard but this felt different my mom taught me everything I know how to brush my hair how to tuck my baby dolls in as a child I felt emptiness and confusion. She was just fine I never would have thought I would've been there that day going thru the suddenness of everything happening. Honestly the death of my mom and how sudden it was without no warning no nothing has been the hardest part for me emotionally and mental. My dad always taught his two girls work hard for what you got and appreciate it especially the small things don’t take shit from no one and make a good life for self. I work a trucking job my wife works for a nonprofit animal clinic for helping animals. We’ve moved back to my hometown state Mississippi from her home state California talk about a culture shock for her moving here btw lol she's amazing shout out to Tumblr btw for giving us that chance of our paths meeting and finding a love in one another. Okay back to the story I've always worked hard it hasn’t been easy it hasn't been good day after good I've seen some real bad days and vice versa I've never used a GoFundMe hell I didn’t even really know what it was until my wife explained it to me. I live pay check to pay check but I got everything I could ever ask for and a lovely home to come home to. I was just completely blown away when the funeral home gave me a final price I cried and I cried some more I didn't know what I was going to do my sister wasn’t exactly in a big way to help until the 16th when she was released. So I'm taking my time out of today to tell the story of the worst day of my life my best friend my mother my hero and the day I lost her forever. If you still have your parents believe let them hug you even longer than they already, do I'm lost and I'm asking for just the smallest donation of whatever anything will help at the point and I'm already up about $800 out of $4000 for the total cost of putting my mother to rest she wanted to cremated so on the day my sisters get out Aug. 16th is the day I have arranged for her funeral and all services that I got the quote for because I'll be damned, I was letting her miss that. Thank you. I will link my GoFundMe and even if I don’t get anything thank you for taking the time to read and allowing me to open up and talk about it. God knows it's going to be a long hard journey, but hey I GOT THIS.

sweetener - [sixteen]
Trial and Error
Pairing: Tom Holland x Female Reader - uni AU
Word Count:  ~7K
Warnings: smut, smut gone kinda wrong, alcohol/hangover mentions
A/N: some of the ~positions in this chapter kind of imply that the reader is of a similar height to tom so sorry if that bothers you! other than that pls enjoy as we all try to recover from that instagram story, hope everyone is staying safe and staying home as much as they’re able to ❣
Updates: dunno sorry i thought i had a schedule there for a minute but i lost it
Tumblr media
Tom was very tired. So very, very tired.
Perhaps it had been a bad idea to go out last night, seeing as he was already knackered from work and lectures and training, but he and Harrison had gotten home from training and Adam said ‘we out tonight?’ and what was he supposed to say? No? To £1.50 pints? Of course not. So, now, here he was on Tuesday afternoon, not even that hungover but just tired, trying not to fall asleep in a lecture.
Apart from the fact that he’d nearly whacked his chin on the desk three times in the last ten minutes, though, his head drooping as he nodded off, he was pretty happy. He’d had a whole weekend with just you, which was nice, no interruptions or awkward interactions with housemates on the stairs, and you were now Officially Together, which was even nicer. He’d been a bit surprised when you’d brought it up on Friday night - but not in a bad way, he just hadn’t really thought about it. He wondered afterwards what he would have said if someone had asked him if you were his girlfriend, like Ruby had asked you. Yes? Probably? Maybe? No one had asked so it had never really occurred to him to put a label on your relationship, but when he thought about after he decided that if pressed he probably would have said yes.
In any case that was all cleared up now, “Facebook Official” and everything - he’d even told his mum. Well, that might be stretching the truth a little - he’d been on FaceTime to her on Sunday night and his brother Harry had come into the room and said ‘hey Tom how’s your girlfriend?’. It had been kind of hard to gauge his tone because he was shoving crisps into his mouth as he spoke, but it sounded snarky and Tom was fairly sure he had no interesting in actually hearing how you were and just wanted to tease him for having a girlfriend while simultaneously dropping him in it with their mum. Tom’s suspicions were confirmed when she looked directly into the camera with a high pitched ‘what? Who!’ and Harry promptly left the room, leaving Tom to murmur ‘um, well, uh…’ while he tried to think how best to explain your relationship. It wasn’t that he’d been actively hiding you from his family, he’d mentioned you in passing a few times to his brothers,but it just hadn’t really come up. Maybe he should have mentioned it before putting it on Facebook, but what was he supposed to do, just message the family chat like hey btw i have a girlfriend now? In the end he just said you were a friend of his housemate’s and that you’d met a couple of months ago, electing to skip over the part about how he already knew of you from work beforehand because that was quite embarrassing and not really something he wanted to share with his mother, and then he changed the subject and asked to see Tessa before making an excuse to hang up.
Familial video calls aside though, he’d had a nice weekend, and though it was only Tuesday he was already looking forward to the next one. Not just because he was tired and wanted a lie in, but this Friday was Valentine’s Day. He’d never really been bothered about it so he hadn’t even realised it was coming up, but once he did Tom wondered if your “talk” would have happened this week anyway, regardless of the Liv/Harrison situation, and not even because of the actual holiday itself, but because of the night out. Valentine’s Day at the SU had a traffic light system - wear red if you’re taken, green if you’re single, and yellow if...well, Tom wasn’t really sure what yellow was for. Maybe? Proceed with caution? Anyway, you probably would have ended up having the conversation about your relationship status before the party, because it would have been extremely awkward if you’d turned up in different colours. Now, however, you both knew you’d both be wearing red, so that was good to know - that is, if you ended up going out. You hadn’t talked about your plans yet, whether you’d go out like on a proper date, or stay in, or go out with everyone else. Tom didn’t really mind what you did, as long as he got to see you at some point, so he figured he’d speak to you about it later and see what you wanted to do.
For now though, he really needed to concentrate on this lecture. He was trying, he really was, only it was really quite boring and his eyelids were really heavy suddenly, and the lecturer’s voice sounded really far away…
aaaCHOO!
Tom’s head snapped up at the sound of the person next to him sneezing, his body jerking as he was startled back into consciousness. This was hopeless, there was no way he was going to be able to stay awake for the rest of the lecture if he didn’t do something to distract himself. The lecture content itself was clearly not interesting enough to keep him alert and awake, so he decided to see what you were up to instead, and you replied after a minute or two.
nm just back from lectures, watching a movie with liv and mads x
Oh cool what movie x
Even without knowing what movie you were watching, Tom was certain that he’d much prefer to be on your sofa watching TV, instead of sitting in this uncomfortable chair in a cold lecture hall. That was basically all you’d done all weekend, though obviously without your housemates - which was for the best, because it would have been really awkward if they’d been sitting there when the episode of Friends where they get a free adult TV channel came on and you’d asked him if he watched porn and he’d nearly choked on his tea. He’d just said ‘sometimes’ and then asked if you did before taking a big sip of his tea to try and look nonchalant (which was a mistake because it was still too hot but he wasn’t going to choke again on the same drink so he just let it burn his mouth and throat and nodded casually when you also said ‘sometimes’).
Bend it like Beckham lmao x
Arent you in a lecture rn x
Ahh a classic. Yeh i am but
Tom paused, considering how to finish that sentence. But now I’ve just remembered you talking to me about porn and it’s distracting ?? Hmm, no, probably not like that.
its really boring and im tired so i keep falling asleep 😴x
Okay, better, now stop thinking about it. He wasn’t even really sure what “it” was, just the general idea of you and porn, and porn-related activities, and things he shouldn’t be thinking about in a lecture.
Early night for you tonight x
Oh dear. That didn’t help, because now he was thinking that you were right, he probably would be in bed quite early - but would he be sleeping? Probably not, and he did not need to be thinking about what he’d be doing instead right now.
Tom checked the clock on the wall, pretending to be reading the lecture slides on the screen below it. Only twenty minutes left…
Want me to pick you up on the way home and we can go straight to bed? x
He debated putting a 😏 on the end, or maybe even a 😉, but ultimately decided against it before hitting send. You were supposed to be coming over to his later that evening anyway, but now he couldn’t really think of a reason to wait any longer than was absolutely necessary. Plus this way maybe you would actually get an early night, which wouldn’t be a bad idea considering he had to play rugby the next day.
Sounds like a plan. When do you finish x
20 mins x
He hoped you were on the same wavelength and understood that he didn’t actually plan to go to sleep at 4:30 in the afternoon (though he could use a nap, but he could do that after). He’d find out in half an hour or so, he supposed, he just had to stay awake until then.
It turned out to be a lot easier to stay awake once he had something else to think about besides what his lecturer was talking about, so soon enough Tom was texting you to say he was on his way, and then again to say he was parked on your street. He debated going to the door, but he decided that it was probably best if he didn’t just in case Liv saw him and wanted to hurt him just for being friends with Harrison.
“Hey!”
Your voice as you opened the passenger side door made Tom look up from his phone, slightly startled as he was waiting for you to text back and wasn’t expecting you to just appear out of nowhere.
“Oh- hey,” he reached over to grab his bag from the passenger seat so you could get in, tossing it into the backseat as you shoved your own bag into the footwell.
You smiled once he turned back to face you, reaching across the car to touch his cheek as he leaned over to give you a kiss hello.
“You look nice,” Tom said when you pulled back, settling back into your seat and putting on your seatbelt.
“Oh,” you looked down at your outfit, then over at Tom. “Thanks.”
It wasn’t a particularly exciting outfit, just jeans and a slouchy knitted jumper, but it was cute - or maybe that was just you, it was hard to tell. In any case it was time for Tom to stop admiring you and start driving, the drive between your houses passing quickly as you talked about your day so far.
“Oh crap,” Tom muttered under his breath as you walked up to the front door. His curtains were still closed, and he remembered then that his room was a complete mess.
You weren’t meant to be coming over until later on, so when he’d woken up late he’d just jumped in the shower in the hopes it would relieve his hangover, shoved on the cleanest clothes he could find, and ran out the door. So, instead of stepping back to let you in once he unlocked the front door, he went in ahead of you and went straight to his room to assess the damage. Besides the closed curtains, unmade bed, and wardrobe doors flung open, his open gym bag and workout clothes were on the floor, the towel he’d used after his speedy shower before heading out on top of them. In his semi-conscious state this morning he hadn’t been able to find said towel, so the one he’d used this morning was draped over the back of his desk chair. He was wearing the jeans he’d worn out last night, so at least they weren’t on the floor, but the shirt he’d worn was, as well as the pyjama bottoms he’d slept in, complete with boxers inside them, sitting very visibly right in the middle of the room. A couple of cider cans and the tub from the Pot Noodle he’d had for dinner littered his desk, and the bag he’d brought to yours on the weekend was open at the end of his bed, its contents spilling onto the floor. Fantastic.
“Sorry,” he mumbled as he quickly gathered all his clothes up into a pile and shoved them into the wardrobe. “D’you want a drink or anything?”
“Nah, I’m good,” you shook your head as you took off your jacket, setting it and your bag down by the door as it swung shut behind you.
“Okay, uh…” Tom trailed off, trying to fit his bags into the wardrobe and get the doors closed before everything started tumbling out. “Wanna put something on TV?”
“Umm… I dunno, is anyone home?”
“I don’t think so?”
Operation Wardrobe was mostly successful, in that the doors didn’t completely shut but nothing was falling out, so Tom considered that a win and moved on to straightening his duvet.
“Eh,” you laughed with a shrug. “Why bother then, we’re not going to watch it are we?”
“...yeah, fair enough.”
Deciding that his bed would do as it was and the curtains should probably remain closed, Tom moved towards you, his hands finding your waist as you pulled him closer by the collar of his jacket until your lips connected in a hurried kiss.
Guess you were on the same wavelength.
“I thought you were tired,” you smirked against his lips as he guided you across the room until your back was against the wall, his body pressed to yours.
“Well,” he sighed as he wiggled out of his jacket, your hands pushing it off his shoulders and down his arms. “I was, but I’ll persevere.”
Tom reached for the hem of your jumper as your lips reconnected, his fingers brushing over your waist as he pushed it up.
“Oh right, okay,” you giggled when you separated again for him to pull your jumper off over your head. “Well done, must be hard for you.”
Well, something was hard, if not the act of staying awake. What was vexing him at present, though, was how many layers you were wearing. Your coat and jumper were gone, but you still had a vest top on, tucked into your jeans - and was that a belt? A belt?! You had boots on too, plus whatever underwear you had on - what a nightmare - well not a nightmare, obviously your underwear wasn’t a nightmare, but--
Tom’s thoughts were cut off by you grabbing his face and kissing him again, and that was enough to get him to just get on with it. Your hands shifted from his cheeks to his shoulders and down his chest as he pulled your vest free. His tongue eagerly exploring your mouth, he kissed you more firmly before he stepped away to pull his hoodie and t-shirt off over his head. You followed suit, taking your vest off and dropping it on top of your jumper, then bending down to take off your boots while Tom kicked off his trainers.
His hands on your waist guided you towards the bed once you straightened up, one darting out to stop himself falling on top of you as you landed on your back on top of his crumpled sheets. Kissing as you went, you shuffled up to the top of the bed, you on your back and Tom beside you, leaning over you. Your legs tangled together, your fingers brushed through the back of his hair as he kissed down your neck and onto your chest, his lips following the line of your bra strap. Things started getting more complicated when he passed your collarbones though, and he realised that this was not your standard bra.
A pretty teal colour, your bra had complicated looking straps going across the tops of your breasts, just above the cups. The band was deeper than normal too, a sort of mesh lace covering your ribs almost down to your waist. After briefly pausing to consider whether to follow the cup or the strap (he chose the strap) Tom continued his line of kisses onto the centre of your chest, sucking and nipping at the skin in between your breasts. Your chest rose under him as you took a deep breath in, letting it out in a contented sigh as he lifted his head to look at you.
“This is fancy,” he ran his fingers over the thin strap decorating the top of your breast. “Did you wear this to uni?”
“No,” you shook your head, your chest moving under his hand as you laughed. “Bit much for a lecture, I think.”
You watched his hand as his fingertip trailed down between your breasts and along the underwire as he chuckled.
“Yeah, maybe.”
If you didn’t wear it when you went out, did that mean you changed into it just for him?
“What do you think, though?”
“Hmm?” Tom hummed, looking up to see you gesturing to your chest.
Were you actually asking what he thought of your bra? Or maybe just your boobs in general? It was more likely that you meant the bra, but either way the answer was the same.
“Oh, yeah, uh,” his eyes returned to your bra, like he even had to think about his reply. “Very nice.”
“Thanks… you know you’ve seen this bra before, actually.”
“Oh?”
Tom felt like he should probably look at your face instead of your chest while you were talking, but then you were talking about your bra, so many it was okay if he kind of went back and forth between them.
“Yeah, you know that Snapchat I sent you?”
“Ohh right, yeah.” Now he thought about it, it was actually kind of familiar, though if he was honest he had been more focused on the fact that you had sent him a picture of yourself in your bra than on what the bra itself looked like. “Thanks for that, by the way.”
“You’re welcome,” you laughed again, a cute little laugh that didn’t really match up with the way your hand on the back of his neck pulled him into a kiss.
Tom shifted more on top of you as the kiss deepened, your hand slipping into the back pocket of his jeans to keep his body close to yours as you sucked on his bottom lip. Your other hand was still playing with his hair, your fingers twisting in the curls as he moved to kiss your neck.
“You know it’s funny actually,” you tilted your head to the side as you spoke, a gentle smile in your voice. “I didn’t mean to send that to you.”
…….
You what?
“Hmm?” he said instead, his face still buried in your neck but his eyes wide open.
“Yeah.”
That’s not helpful, who was it meant for?
Tom pulled back slightly, shifting to the side and resting his weight on one arm while he waited for you to expand.
“I was sending it to the girls and I just clicked on you too by accident.”
“Oh right… okay.”
He wasn’t really sure why you were telling him this now, or at all really, but if that’s all you meant then that was okay, right? It wasn’t like you meant to send it to another guy. Besides, that was ages ago, things were very different now. Like, if he’d found that out a few weeks ago he probably would have been a bit more freaked out because he had taken that snap as a sign that you were into him, so finding out that it hadn’t been meant for him at all would have kind of shattered that idea. As it was though, he had more than enough evidence now that you were into him, so it didn’t really matter too much now.
“Did you not think the caption was a bit weird?” you spoke again, taking him out of his thoughts and back to the present. “Like, why would I tell you I got this in the sale?”
“Oh, uh,” This is embarrassing - though not more embarrassing than sending a semi-nude to the wrong person. “To be honest, I didn’t read the caption.”
“You know what, that’s fair enough,” you laughed. “I’m glad I sent it anyway.”
“Me too.” Wait that sounds weird- “I mean not just because, like, obviously it’s always nice to see boobs-”
“Well yeah-”
“But it kinda like, you know-”
“-got things going?”
“...yeah,” Tom nodded, a smile growing across his face because yeah, that’s exactly what it did.
You were smiling too, and then before he knew it you were kissing again, his body shifting over yours. He kissed down your chest again, moving down the bed as he went, planning to take off your jeans - and his own, because they were feeling uncomfortably tight right now.
“Oh yeah, I was gonna say-”
Fighting the urge to sigh, Tom just looked up at you from where he was kissing the soft skin just below the band of your bra.
“-you know the other day when you said you wanted to try like, spanking or whatever-”
“Oh, I, uh-”
“- I was just wondering if there, you know, wasanythingelseyouwantedtotry?”
You’d said the last part in one quick go, the words running into each other, leaving Tom blinking up at you as he played them through in his head at half speed. Once he’d worked out what you’d said though, he still didn’t know what to say, because he definitely had not expected you to say that.
“Erm… uh… I don’t know…”
“Oh. Okay, never mind-” your voice went quieter, your face turning slightly as you looked away.
“No, like, it’s just - I can’t think of anything right now, but I’m sure - can I come back to you on that?”
Your eyes met his again, and your face relaxed into a small smile as you nodded.
“Yeah, sure.”
“Cool.”
He waited a moment to see if you had anything else you wanted to say, but you just ran your fingers through his hair and said nothing, so he took that to mean he could continue. He pressed a few more kisses to your stomach before unbuckling your belt, undoing your jeans and pulling them down your legs once you lifted your hips to help him get them off. He swallowed as he tossed your jeans onto the floor, not taking his eyes off your underwear - a thong that matched your bra, barely covering any of you. That settled it, you definitely changed into different lingerie just for him - and that knowledge made it even hotter. Like, you looked amazing regardless, but knowing that it was for him? On purpose? You purposefully dressed like that for him? Yeah, that made it ten times better.
“C’mere,” he murmured, leaning down to wrap his arms around you and rolling you both over so you were on top of him.
You ground down onto him as you kissed, his hands squeezing your ass as you arched your back, rubbing yourself along his length through his jeans. He grunted as your lips left his, instead scattering kisses down his neck and chest as you moved down his body. Soon you were kneeling on the bed between his legs, sucking small purple marks onto the pale skin just above the waistband of his boxers. He was so focused on that that he didn’t even notice you undoing his jeans, until you were pulling them and his boxers down, his hard cock springing free and falling heavily against his stomach.
Tom watched as you licked along his length, sucking him into your mouth when you reached the top. He groaned when you bobbed your head, your cheeks hollowing around him. Your fingers curled around the base of his cock, following behind your lips as they slid up and down his length. You swirled your tongue around the tip as you came off him for a moment to breathe, your hand continuing to move up and down smoothly. After a moment you dipped your head again, taking him back into your mouth a little at a time. Your mouth felt so good around him, so warm and wet, and Tom was just thinking that he’d quite like to reach between your legs and feel something else warm and wet except he couldn’t really reach just now, when it occurred to him that maybe he did have an answer for you.
“Hey…” he muttered, not sure how to begin.
“Hmm?”
Tom closed his eyes for a second, his jaw tensing when you hummed around him. “I thought of something.”
You lifted your head, your hand still moving as your mouth left his cock. “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah, um,” What’s the best way to say this? Just say it, I suppose. “I dunno, you could like… sit on my face.”
“Hm…” you tilted your head thoughtfully. “What, while I…”
You trailed off, nodding towards your hand around his dick.
“Yeah… if you want.”
You hummed again, your hand still pumping slowly while you mulled it over. After a moment though, you stopped and nodded, sitting back on your heels.
“Yeah, okay.”
You moved aside while Tom took his jeans off, but when he lay back down you stayed kneeling beside him on the bed. He said your name questioningly, looking at you uncertainly.
“...you okay?”
“Yeah,” you nodded, but didn’t move. “I dunno, it’s just like - it’s very exposing, isn’t it…”
He didn’t really know what to say to that - he’d gone down on you loads of times, so he didn’t really see what the difference was, but there obviously was a difference to you.
“Oh, well,” he sat up a bit, propping himself up on his elbows. “I mean you don’t have to-”
“No, it’s not that,” you cut him off, shaking your head. “It’s just… like I want to but…”
Tom stayed quiet, just watching you have this debate with yourself because it didn’t really seem like it actually had very much to do with him at all.
“D’you mind if I leave my pants on? Like, obviously you can move them to, you know, get at stuff, but like, I dunno-” you sighed, sounding exasperated with yourself. “I know that doesn’t really make sense, I just feel like it would make it easier for me to put my butt in your face.”
He couldn’t help but snort at that - not so much at the idea but just the way you phrased it. You laughed too, only a little more nervously.
“Yeah, ‘course,” he nodded, trying to make his expression more serious. “Whatever makes you comfortable.”
You nodded back, slowly at first but then more decisively.
“Yeah… yeah, okay. Sorry, I’m being weird.”
“Nah you’re fine, don’t worry.”
Tom sat up more, touching your cheek gently as he kissed you. Your lips moved tentatively with his at first, but it didn’t take long before you got back into it. Your fingers wound their way into his hair as he gripped your waist, your body shifting to climb back on top of him.
“Oh right, yeah,” you stopped suddenly, shaking your head with a chuckle. “Other way.”
Both of you laughed as you shuffled on the bed, turning around and swinging your leg over his chest. Tom held your hips as you moved back, until you were right in front of his face. He couldn’t see what you were doing, obviously, but he could feel your body over his as you leaned down, wrapping your hand around his length again. He had a brief moment of panic when he realised that when he pulled your thong aside everything was going to be upside down compared to what he was used to, but then he felt your mouth envelope his cock and he figured he’d just work it out as he went along.
Kneading your ass cheeks firmly as he spread them apart, Tom pressed a few teasing kisses to the wet patch in the centre of your underwear. Your body twitched slightly at the contact, but you didn’t stop what you were doing, so he assumed that meant he was good to continue. With one hand he pulled your thong to the side to expose your pussy, wet and spread open right in front of his face. He wrapped his arms around your body and pulled you that last bit closer, onto the flat of his tongue as he ran it through your folds. Your body still felt a bit tense, but you moaned around him when he traced circles around your clit with his tongue, so that was a good sign, right?
You both carried on like that for a little while, him eating you out while you sucked him off. Sometimes Tom found it kind of hard to concentrate on what he was doing because of what you were doing, but other times you stopped and his cock was just sort of sitting there in your hand while you moaned and pushed back onto his tongue, so he figured the same thing was happening to you so it was alright. Your thong kept trying to move back between your legs though, and he was trying his best to keep it out of the way with his face but eventually he had to pull one hand away from its very important task of squeezing your bum to move it properly.
Holding your underwear aside, he went back to massaging your clit with his tongue. Your mouth tightened around the tip of his cock as you whimpered before you lifted your head, your hand still working his length as you came off him with a wet pop. Tom grunted against your pussy as you started to grind against his face, his fingers digging into your bum as he guided your movements. He could feel the tension in your body building, your thighs tensing -- until your grip on his cock loosened, your hip movements faltered, and you pulled away from him.
“Ugh, sorry,” you groaned, climbing off him when he let his arms fall away from your body and onto the bed.
“What, what’s wrong?”
“I dunno,” you whined as you turned around, crawling back on top of him and straddling his hips. “I just feel like… like I can’t concentrate? I don’t know, I think I just prefer doing one at a time, there’s too much going on.”
“Okay,” Tom just nodded; there wasn’t really much else to say to that.
“Sorry…”
“No, don’t-” he switched quickly to shaking his head. “I know what you mean and like, if you’re not into it then what’s the point, you know?”
“Okay,” You nodded as he shrugged, but your expression remained uncertain. “Still… sorry.”
“Seriously, it’s fine - now we know.”
“Now we know,” you giggled as Tom reached for your hands where they rested on his chest, tugging on them to bring you close enough for him to kiss you.
His hands caressed your body as his tongue roamed your mouth, reaching around to undo your bra - or at least, that was his plan. When he got there, however, he felt way more clasps under his fingertips than he was expecting. He tried his best to keep kissing you as he worked his way through them, but after he’d undone three and it didn’t seem like it was any closer to coming off he had to stop, muttering a frustrated sorry against your cheek.
“Oh, right,” you pushed yourself up, reaching behind you to undo the last couple of clasps. “Yeah, it’s got like five things, sorry.”
All Tom could think was why though? Why make it so complicated? But he didn’t say that, instead he said:
“No worries. What about you?”
You were just leaning down over him again, presumably about to resume kissing him when he said it, and he instantly regretted it when you stopped and tilted your head in confusion.
“What?”
His only explanation was that your habit of starting full on conversations during sex must be rubbing off on him - why else would he interrupt you when you were on top of him with only soaked thong between you? Why didn’t he just let you carry on? It was too late now though, he’d just have to continue and hope it paid off.
“Is, uh, is there anything you wanna try?”
“Oh,” you straightened up again, sitting up straight in his lap. “Hmm.”
Tom watched you thinking, nibbling on your bottom lip contemplatively, and he was beginning to wish he’d just waited to ask you another time before you spoke.
“I’ve never done it standing up, that could be fun…”
Then he really wished he hadn’t said anything, because frankly he was way too tired for that, but you had tried his thing, so it only seemed fair that he try yours.
“Okay.”
“...okay?” you repeated, looking at him questioningly.
“Okay,” he nodded. “Wanna try?”
You seemed to consider for a moment, before shrugging with a casual ‘sure’. You crawled off him and you both got to your feet, your knickers soon finding a home on the bedroom floor.
“So like, how do we… do this?”
“Um, right,” Tom thought for a second, before placing his hands on your hips and guiding you so your back was against the wall, your arms instinctively looping around his neck. “And then I guess if you like,” - he moved one hand down to your thigh - “lift your leg?”
You did as instructed, his hand holding the back of your thigh firmly as you hitched your right leg up to his left hip.
“Erm…right...” he looked back and forth between your face and his dick, now sort of pressed between your abdomens, as you bit your lip to try and stifle the giggle that was threatening to burst out of your mouth.
Hmm.
Tom bent his knees slightly, using his free hand to try and position his cock at your entrance. You lifted up onto your tiptoes, using your hands on his shoulders to steady yourself, and that did help a bit. He was able to push inside you, but beyond that he didn’t really know how to go about this. The way your bodies fit together meant that he couldn’t really thrust into you properly - he tried, but it just didn’t really work, and you were still on your tiptoes which didn’t seem sustainable, especially because you were standing on one leg and only staying upright because you were pinned between him and the wall.
“Um-”
“Hmm…”
“This isn’t working, is it?”
Looking between your bodies, your leg wrapped him and your breasts pressed to his chest, he really, really wanted to say it was working, but the truth was it just wasn’t. “Maybe if I lift you up?”
“Pardon?” you laughed, a bewildered expression on your face.
“Like,” Tom squeezed your thigh where it rested on his hip. “Do that but with your other leg.”
You just stared at him for a moment, blinking once, twice, three times before you spoke.
“No.”
“Why not?” He couldn’t help but laugh at your flat tone, the confused smile still frozen on your face.
“Because you’ll drop me.”
Tom opened his mouth to say no, he wouldn’t drop you, but in all honesty he couldn’t say that with 100% certainty. He wouldn’t mean to, obviously, but he was tired, and what if he did drop you? Surely that would be worse than… whatever this was.
“...fine,” he said instead, helping you bring your foot back to the ground before he stepped back, cock slipping out of you in the process.
“What if I bend over the bed?”
“... yeah, that could work.”
And lo, it did work. With you bent over the edge of the bed and him behind you, Tom gripped your hips as he thrust in and out of you steadily. Your hands grabbed fistfuls of the sheets, pushing back to meet his thrusts, and it wasn’t long before he could feel himself getting close, the tension inside him built up after so long spent with your mouth around him and your pussy in his face. His fingers trailed across your hip as he reached around to touch your clit, a grunt passing his lips as he felt your walls twitch and clench around him as you straightened up to give him better access.
“Fuck-”
You turned your head to kiss him, all breathless moans and probing tongues into each other's mouths. Your body twisted as you leaned into the kiss, making Tom’s cock slip out as he moved to thrust into you again.
“Fuck,” he groaned again, more out of frustration than pleasure this time. He went to reposition himself at your entrance, but stopped when you breathed his name.
“Hang on…d’you wanna just...do it normally?”
He sighed, closing his eyes for a moment before he nodded.
“Yeah, okay, sure. Sorry.”
You straightened up and turned around properly, your arms wrapping around his neck. “S’okay-”
“I’m just tired and-”
“Seriously, it’s fine-”
“- I’m a bit hungover and-”
“Tom.”
The way you said his name finally made him shut up, assertive but still quiet, gentle.
“You’re fine, it’s fine. That last one was good, I’m just being awkward because I want to kiss you.”
“Oh.”
That was all he had time to say before you kissed him, as if to demonstrate your point - and honestly, you made a really solid argument. So much so that the two of you fell back onto the bed, barely breaking apart as you lay down and he pushed back inside you, your legs spread wide beneath him. Plus, it was nice to be lying down and back in his comfort zone, kissing your neck as he thrust into you, your fingers tugging at his hair, your legs wrapping tightly around his waist--
“Wait wait, stop-”
You both froze as someone came into the house, slamming the front door closed behind them.
For fuck’s sake are you fucking joking?!
Tom kept his face buried in your neck, but he could feel you holding your breath until you heard either Adam or Harrison (he was trying not to think too much about whoever it was) going straight up the stairs. He felt you exhale once an upstairs door banged shut, your hips bucking up as you sighed.
“Okay, carry on.”
He did as he was told and began to move again, thrusting into you. Your moans were quieter now, more restrained, which was a shame, but he’d take what he could get. You bit your lip as he shifted, his arms bracketing your head as he quickly built up speed until he was pounding into you. One hand still tangled in his hair, you slipped the other between your bodies to rub hurriedly at your clit.
“Oh fuck, please,” you whimpered, looking up at him slack jawed and glassy eyed.
“M’gonna - fuck - gonna come,” Tom grunted, feeling your walls clenching and squeezing his cock as he thrust into you as deeply as he possibly could.
Your fingers in his hair tightened, urging him to dip his head to kiss you. You moaned into his mouth as he obliged, your body jerking under his as you came. He kept thrusting into you as he came moments later, his own moans mixing with yours in a hurried, passionate kiss, your hips rutting together as you both rode out your highs. The kiss grew softer as the rhythm of your hips began to slow, until your tongues were lazily dancing together as you ground together slowly.
“Yeah,” you chuckled breathlessly when you finally pulled apart. “We should have just done that to begin with.”
Tom just laughed in reply, scattering kisses across your cheek and down your neck onto your shoulder as he caught his breath. His body was feeling very heavy now, every ounce of tiredness he’d felt earlier coming rushing back after that burst of energy and hormones, and suddenly all he wanted to do was sleep.
“...you’re kinda squishing me a bit, Tom.”
“Hmm?” he hummed, his face nuzzled against your cheek until he replayed your words in his head and understood what you were saying. “Oh! Sorry-”
You unwrapped your legs from around his waist so he could roll off you, before crawling out from underneath him and searching for your underwear on the floor. Tom watched from his spot on the bed as you rummaged through your bag, pulling out a clean pair of knickers and the pyjamas that he’d lent you over the weekend. He just nodded sleepily as you said something about going to the bathroom, taking his dressing gown off the back of the door and tying it around your body before you left the room.
He didn’t think he’d fallen asleep, but it only seemed like a moment later when the door swung open and you came back in, and surely you hadn’t been that quick?
“Someone in there,” you explained when he looked at you in surprise - so maybe he hadn’t fallen asleep, you actually had just come straight back.
Tom nodded again, but this time he sat up, blinking furiously in an attempt to get his eyes to stay open. He couldn’t exactly go to sleep right that second, he was too naked and sticky, so while you hovered by the door waiting for the bathroom to be free he set about cleaning himself up and finding some clean underwear. It was only another minute or two before you both heard the bathroom door open, footsteps going across the landing, and then another door closing.
“Right, be right back.”
By the time you came back for good, Tom had changed into a fresh pair of pyjamas, put something on the TV, and shook out his duvet, and was lying under it all warm and cosy and trying to stay awake at least until you got into bed too.
“Are you actually going to sleep?” you asked as you slipped in under the covers beside him.
“Not like, properly,” he mumbled, turning onto his side holding his arms out for you to wiggle into. “M’just, m’gonna nap… jus’ for a minute…”
He was sure you didn’t believe that - he didn’t believe it either - he’d probably wake up in three hours not knowing who he was or what day it was. He didn’t get to hear whether you had anything to say about it though, because he fell asleep almost immediately, his breathing turning deep and even in your ear in seconds.

RETROUVAILLES
(The final part)
Chapter one
Chapter two
Chapter three
Big thanks to @dreamy-slytherin for making a drawing for this fic❤️❤️❤️
 Earthlingoddity :
Do you need me to pick you up at the bus stop?
Sterkerdanijzer :
Sander, for a THOUSAND times since yesterday evening, I’m fine LOL! Really, don’t worry too much, please😌
Earthlingoddity :
You sure?
Sterkerdanijzer :
If you asks that again, the deal’s off
Earthlingoddity :
OK OK OK! I’ll shut up now. Careful on your way. Been preparing some croques for you
Sterkerdanijzer :
You’re the best!
Btw...
Uh-oh.
Is he gonna back out now? Is something happen? Did he say something wrong just now?
Sander tries to calm his breath as he types.
Earthlingoddity :
Yes, Robbe?
Sterkerdanijzer :
Do you mind if I bring Peter Pan along again?🥺he’s gonna be good. Pinky promise!
Sander lets out a very relief breath. Why does Robbe always makes him feel on edge, though? He really have it bad.
Earthlingoddity :
Jesus, you scared me for a sec right there. Of course you can
Sterkerdanijzer :
You really are THE BEST, Mr Driesen. See you in 15 mins!!
It takes five minutes for Sander to finally comes back to reality when Robbe called him Mr Driesen. Okay, he’s been calling that many times by many people BUT it feels much different when Robbe did it. Somehow Sander can hear Robbe’s voice through his phone saying that, and... God, he doesn’t know what to think anymore. What a blessing that no human can hear each other’s thoughts; because sure as hell, Robbe will run away once he knows about Sander’s inner thought.
Yesterday, Sander insisted to pick Robbe at his flat because it’s a bit far but Robbe always declined—said that distance never really matters to him whatsoever. Maybe Sander was being overreacted but he already feels protective of this cute yet unpredictable guy, and definitely not the same feeling like he’s being protective of a friend. Yeah, maybe he should tone it down a bit. Robbe’s not a kid, he’s capable of taking care of himself.
Trying to distract himself, Sander is now standing in front of the kitchen counter, staring at the croque he just made few minutes before he sent the text to Robbe. For today, he needs to impress Robbe—from his dish to this safe haven. Sander woke up at five in the morning today after doing a morning yoga routine to calm himself from the nervousness and then tidying his half-messy flat.
“Croques, don’t let me down,” Sander pleads as he lifts the plate. “don’t let my crush down. Please!”
He almost drops the plate when he hears a knock on his door.
Shit!
Okay this is it!
Sander is half-running to the door, taking a deep breath before he holds the knob and opens it. The first thing he sees is Peter Pan excited face; he’s too excited so he literally jumps into Sander’s arms and licks his face.
“Sorry,” Robbe laughs but his tone is definitely not sorry. “he’s being so impatient to meet you.”
“No...” Sander replies in between Peter Pan’s kisses. “problem... at all.”
“Is this the croque you were talking about earlier?”
“Yep!” Sander answers as he puts Peter Pan down, watching his tail shaking left and right and a minute later he’s already out of sight to explore the place.
“Looks good,” Robbe smiles at Sander and the world stops for a second—or at least it feels like for Sander. “can I eat them now? I’m starving.”
Sander clears his throat and force a laugh, “Sure, but I won’t be responsible if you suddenly get a stomachache.”
“I’ll take that risk for you.”
Sander raises his eyebrow. His feet unknowingly takes a step closer—close enough for his hand to graze Robbe’s, but he can’t do it. Yet. So instead, he says, “don’t say something like that.”
Sander thought Robbe will back out, but to his surprise and excitement, he smiles mischievously and says, “or what?”
Sander smirks, “Or I’ll feed you this croque by myself.”
“Please do.”
Excuse me?
What did he just say?
“Go on,” Robbe encourages Sander. “Feed me. I’m waiting.”
Oh, it’s on!
All the way or no way, Driesen.
Without saying another word, Sander grab a piece of his dish and feed it to Robbe who slowly opens his mouth and bites it.
Fucking hell and this infuriating sexual tension!
Sander knows he should look away but he can’t—even when Robbe closes his eyes to savor the food, Sander finds himself more captivated by him. These lips; how does they feel like? How does they taste like? Are they gonna be as soft as silk? As decadent as the most expensive chocolate?
But he must stop. He should stop his thoughts—this kind of thoughts, to be exact or there’ll be an unnecessary trouble.
“Is it good?”
“Divine,” Robbe says, smiling softly but later turns serious. “You okay? Your face look tense.”
Of course, I’m not okay, Robbe! He thought bitterly.
“Yes,” Sander answers in a clipped voice. “Would you like to do it now?”
Robbe is clearly confuse by Sander’s sudden dismissal but doesn’t say anything about it. To be completely honest, his feeling is a bit hurt.
“Okay.”
Sander turns his back to see Robbe’s hurtful face and immediately feels bad, “sorry,” he breathes. “It’s just.. whenever I’m around you, my brain’s stop working.”
“Am I that bad?”
Sander almost laugh, “God, no. You’re far from that. You’re special, Robbe IJzermans.”
Hearing this, Robbe’s blushes hard and quick. This is the very first time he hears someone—not just someone—but Sander Driesen, the coolest guy on YouTube, actually said that he’s special. His heart’s beating really, really fast right now.
“Komaan.” Sander says as he takes Robbe’s hand to his room.
The first thing Robbe sees is a HUGE poster of David Bowie in front of Sander’s bed. It’s so huge that maybe it can be use as a blanket.
“Cool, huh?” Sander chuckles when he notices Robbe’s ‘awe’ expression.
“So cool.”
“You can stare at him all you want later,” Sander says as he sits on the floor and grabs his guitar. “Alle kom, Robbe! Sit beside me.”
Robbe do what he’s been told. Something like the ocean and summer breeze from Sander catches his nose and Robbe finds himself inhaling that scent deeply.
Perfect. Now his heart beats erratically again.
“You ready?” Sander asks, looking straight at Robbe’s eyes.
“I am.”
Sander can feel Robbe’s nervousness and knowing it’s because of his presence can do such thing to his crush, it makes him smile so wide. Before he can stop, his hand touches Robbe’s cheek, “you’ll be fine. Okay?”
Robbe nods. He takes the flower crown from his bag and wears it.
“Cutie,” Sander mumbles softly under his breath before he presses “enter” on his keyboard to start the video.
“Hey everyone, Sander’s here and I’m with someone really special today,” he looks at Robbe whose eyes are as big as a globe because he’s too shock. “Introduce yourself. Go on!”
Robbe blinks fast as he comes back to earth, “uh, yeah! It’s Robbe and I agreed to do a collab with Jack Frost beside me.”
“Jack Frost, huh?”
“Yes, you are.”
“Fair enough,” Sander grins. “What are we gonna do today?”
“Whatever you want.” Robbe answers innocently.
“I have a lot of things on my mind about it BUT we’re gonna do an impromptu song cover for now.”
“What are we gonna sing?” Then Robbe quickly adds. “Oh not Bowie or anything that we particularly love.”
“I’m listening.” Sander says seriously.
“What’s song that’s been on your playlist for awhile, you like but never really sing it out loud?”
Sander immediately replies, “Ben Howard’s song called Promise.”
The big smile Sander adores so much reappears, “I also happened to know that song! Shall we sing it now?”
Just when Robbe is about to sing, Peter Pan suddenly bursts in, quickly finds place on his lap and sleeps. They can’t help but laugh at this marvelous sight.
“Sorry, viewers. This is just my puppy, Peter Pan.”
“And he’s dead tired.” Sander adds, chuckling.
“Anyway, let’s continue. You sing first, Sander!”
The cheerful vibes between them gradually turns much calmer when Sander sings the first chorus.
“And meet me there, bundles of flowers, we wait through the hours of cold...”
Robbe continues.
“Winter shall howls at the wall, tearing down doors of time...”
Both are singing melodiously, much to their surprises because none of them really actually practice or anything. It’s purely ‘in the moment’ situation. Hundreds of comment keeps on coming, saying they look really cute together, etc etc etc. The views rapidly increases from two thousand something to eleven thousand within few minutes.
Robbe admires ardently how Sander plays the guitar in the most calming manner possible. No rush, no hesitation, no doubt—it feels like he was born to hold that instrument. These tattoos, especially the Bowie’s lightning one on Sander’s wrist is making him look even more ethereal. Bleached-blond hair with black clothes and tattoos; Sander Driesen is the perfect example of a sweetest sin that Robbe will gladly accepts.
On the other hand, Sander never truly realises how beautiful Robbe is, now that he’s finally be able to sees his face up close. Everything about him is perfect—too perfect for him. He wonders how it feels like to have their bodies wrap together, with or without clothes. How his fingers slowly but hungrily traces every inch of Robbe’s body.
“Who am I darling, to you? Who am I? Going to tell you stories of mine... who am I?” Sander sings, never breaking the eye contact from Robbe. “Who am I darling, for you? Who am I? Going to be a burden... who am I darling, to you? Who am I?” He continues when his crush is too stunned to say anything.
Fuck it! I don’t care anymore!
Sander puts his guitar aside, places one hand on Robbe’s cheek, and without thinking, without worrying about the fact that thousands of people are watching this live stream, Sander kisses him. He promises to himself that if Robbe gives him the slightest uncomfort, he’ll back down, just like that.
But the greedy monster inside him roars in victory when Robbe’s also leaning closer and deepening the kiss.
After several long moments, or maybe several moons later (okay this is too much but it does feel like it for Sander), both finally breaking the kiss to catch a breath.
Robbe breathes, “Wow, that was...”
“Amazing?”
“Spectacular?”
“Show-stopping?”
“Never the same?”
“Totally unique?”
“Brilliant?”
Sander laughs loud until his nose scrunches, “unbelievable. We just kissed and suddenly mimicked Lady Gaga’s wisdom words? Never been done before.”
Robbe laughs nervously. His lips are chapped, so does Sander’s.
“You do realise that we’re still going live, right?”
“Of course I do and I don’t care,” Sander abruptly turns to camera and says proudly. “mense, I just kissed my crush in front of you all, even the world, and I have no regrets. I’ve been dying to kiss him for months and now I finally got it. And that also concludes today’s video. See you very soon and thanks for watching!”
“I still can’t believe we actually did it.”
Sander gives him a peck, “oh but we just did.”
Robbe smiles shyly, “so, what are gonna do now?”
“Kissing, talking, kissing again, lots of kissing, talking,” Sander smirks. “What about you?”
“Just kiss me now, please.”
Sander kisses Robbe again and again then whispers, “You don’t need to say please, engel.”
Couple hours later

i know this reply is like a week late and i apologize but i just saw someone on your blog say that the stuff abt adam could have been also used as a way to hype up the pod and while i def understand where they're coming from + don't doubt that rachel is VERY pr savvy, i do think a lot of time has passed since then that she looks far more fondly on it now. that being said, i don't know her and never will, so i can't speak much on this. she was also asked abt it on another podcast and abt (cont)
and also abt mischa and if she was still in contact w/ her and pm said that while she hasn't rly spoken to her in almost a decade, that she wishes her well and doesnt hold ill will towards her, but i need to relisten to make sure since my memory is foggy on that. she did bscly say the same stuff she said on the armchair podcast re: adam, so nothing too new on that front. i also saw an interview adam did w/ av club the other day and pm said that he has no hard feelings towards the show itself now
but that he mainly wants to focus on his current work and seth isnt smth he wants to be defined for solely for the rest of his life. sorry for the info dump btw shjkdfjf if u want more context on it PLEASE let me know lol
also wanted to add and say that i don't think dax going on and on abt their relationship for like mins is okay though. i feel like regardless of context or w/e, it'd still be weird just like how that person on instyle writing a whole article on how sad the breakup made them is weird.
I am not good at responding to messages or requests as evidenced by this late reply so absolutely do not worry about anything at all. 
I’m disappointed that she and Mischa haven’t talked in a decade. That’s too bad, they seemed like they genuinely liked one another. But I also have to constantly remember that they worked together for only three years. Same goes for much of the other cast (give or take a year). Plus they were pretty young and those friendships can come and go. 
Not surprised about Adam, that’s pretty much what I felt his vibe was. He has seemed to talk more pleasantly about the experience in the last year or two but in general wishes to discuss his more recent work. Which I totally understand.
Yeah, I think it’s just weird to talk about it as long as they did. It’s awkward and like Dax just couldn’t take the hint. I kind of expect weird articles about old Hollywood couples from trashy publications but not from InStyle. I think it was cool for Rachel to be so chill and funny about it but she must be like damn give it a rest.

word count: 2.8k || Genre: camgirl!reader, producer!(fanboy) Jisung, video call, smut, jerking off all that jazz
a/n: not my best work but it's content so...yeah enjoy. lightly edited btw lol. 
Tumblr media
Your eyes lingered on the red light of your camera signaling you were on. You popped up you on the screen showing the stream clearly. "Hi, my sweeties," you hummed your chats nickname. A small grin lit your lips as your fans as they entered your chat. Your eyes lingered to the chat as a flood of comments came at you.
"Am I doing okay," you read the comment out smiling at the comment "Yes I'm doing fine my sweetie," you grinned at the camera sending that person a little heart with your comment.
The small wow noise filled your ears letting you know a donation was put through. "Will I be doing a private stream," you read the comment out. The private streams you did was more of your not so safe for work streams. It did cost 1 token or 5 dollars to enter said each of those streams which was good money, but you didn't really feel like sexual things on stream tonight.
Pausing you looked at the time "maybe tomorrow sorry guys," you hummed out at the chat. "I'm really tired and want to give you guys an amazing show," you told the chat.
"You're so cute," you read the comment out a small smile lit your lips as you brought your fingers to your cheeks "thank you so much," you answered the comment.
The light chatting was nice they were strangers watching your every move but the majority of them were nice, generous and supportive of every stream you did.
"I love talking to you guys," letting out a soft giggle.
Cities away a young male was watching said stream his eyes watching the stream with interest and want. When he got the alert that you started your stream, he propped up his second laptop ready to watch it.
Jisung aka in your chat 'J1Han' a loyal follower and donator to your channel. From getting rejected often or blown off the loneliness of all that drove him to cam girl websites. Looking through hundreds he finally found one he felt connected to and it was you.
When you would call the chat your "sweeties" his heart would swoon at the comments. Your layout was nice your bedroom lit with reds and pinks.
Going to his token account he realized he had 20 token equality about 100 dollars. Grinning when he heard your soft voice fill his headphones.
"I love talking to you guys," you gave the camera a bright smile. His heart lightly leaped at that smile.
His fingers went to the donation jar with a grin he donated 2 coins writing a quick message "My princess looks so good today I hope you eat well" he internally cringed at calling you, princess. What if you didn't like the nickname he used for you.
Clicking the send button it took a minute for it to go through and then the light melody filled the air making you look to the right counter. His heart leaped lightly as he sat upright to hear you read his comment out.
"My princess looks good today I hope you eat well," you read slowly a grin lifted on your lips. "I did my sweet I eat lots of good food today I hope you did too," you replied to the comment. To say Jisung had an internet crush was accurate. He didn't know why he spent money on a random girl who didn't know him, his friends scolded him for it.
His heart just felt so full watching you from the screen. The way you talked to him and of course the sexual part. He was introduced at your more lewd private shows. The look on your face as your eyes lightly fluttered and rolled your palm deeper inside yourself. As he on the other side of the screen shamelessly palmed himself.
Sighing he relaxed to your simple talking stream your words felt so nice from explaining your day to how you were doing in university. Minutes of the stream turned to an hour until you had to sign off.
"Goodnight my sweeties," you said waving at the audience. The comments all spammed how much they'll miss you. Jisung frowned lightly as you shut off your stream an offline picture popped up signaling it was over.
Frowning he sighed once you ended it. Being your fan was fun you just wished he could talk to you longer.
With a sudden peep of courage, he decided to go to your Instagram which was private and dm you. Holding his breath he typed a quick "Your stream was amazing goodnight Y/n" with a little heart. He felt himself get all jittery and smiled he at least shoot his shot at you.
                                                             +
Sighing you turned off your monitor flipping the camera around as you got up to go to bed. You hummed going to the next room to sleep. The reality of your showroom wasn't your real room. Your real room was simple no pink or light or cute things just a simple room. A place for you to escape from the streaming.
Your phone pinged with new notifications. Your snapchat heavily with nudes from dudes or begging you to be there, your twitter had been flooded with dms and your Instagram as well. Looking through the comments you stopped when you saw the similar username from your stream.
'J1Hann sent you a message'
Sighing you opened it before accepting it reading over the message.
Looking at his picture you grinned to see a young male in the icon he was looking to the side.
J1Hann: 'Your stream was amazing goodnight Y/n'
The comment was innocent and nice to see. Unlike the constant "be my cam girl" "Your so sexy" and lots of other sexual things people sent you. It was refreshing to see such a pure comment.
Smiling you wrote back to him.
Y/nthesweetestthing: Thx I'm glad you liked my stream I know it was tamed :)
Before you knew it the seen popped up making you raise an eyebrow what an eager guy.
J1Hann: I love your tamed streams they're so relaxing
With that reply, you smiled knowing you made in relaxed with just your presence on camera.
It's been almost three months since you got a message from one of your supporters 'J1Hann' or now you know as Han Jisung. From his Instagram account, he was a small account but he was so alluring. His pictures filled with aesthetic pictures of the city him and his friends it looked like a cute face with a nice personality to match.
Jisung was around your age, he was a big fan of you telling you he loved your mukbangs streams the most.
He also told you he was a small producer making songs for people. He claimed he wanted to start singing his own songs one day.
It wasn't normal for you to keep in such close contact with a supporter trying to keep you and your cam girl image life separate. Jisung was different he didn't ask for nudes or private shows he enjoyed talking to you. Not to say the conversation didn't ever turn sexual but it was tamed compared to the mass amount of comments you had. You even video called every now and then when he and you were free.
You practically talked to him every day since you got his message. He was interesting and deep he loved your content but also wanted to just hear about your day and such.
Your fingers hovered over today's conversation it was about meeting up for a date soon. In a weird way, you were in an online relationship with one of your fans.
Y/n: We should do a private call I'm bored
Jisung: A private call
Jisung: don't you have a stream to do
Y/n: I want to give you a private show bby :)
You bite your lip hoping Jisung got the insinuation hoping he got that you wanted to do a little more intense video call with him than normal.
Jisung: really!
Jisung: I'll be on asap I can't waitt
                                                        +
You were jittery as you sat at your pc really to take call Jisung finally. Your stomach bubbled with nervousness and your heart mildly racing wanting to call him.
Fingers pressed on the call button it took you at least 3 mins of on and off the button until you finally hit the button.
You weren't all cam girl dolled up going for a casual sweater and yoga pants. Hoping you looked good enough for him.
The call went through and appeared on the screen before you appeared Jisung on his phone. "Oh I didn't see you there," he joked lightly.
You bubbled with laughter at his humor. You were enamored with how he looked his cheeks puffy and cute, his smile wide and bright while his room looked like his studio.
"Y/n you look so beautiful tonight," he complimented you. You shifted in your chair looking down slightly. You always got swarmed with 'pretty' and 'beautiful' comments but from him, it was different it made your heart flutter.
"Jisung you're making me blush," you said feeling your warm cheeks.
"You're so adorable tonight," he smiled his bright large teeth making him look so cute.
"Jisung you're very handsome," you told him. He was his dark brown hair was brushed nicely, his skin was clear with a few acne spots and that smile. It made your heart swoon with a feeling like a light airy feeling.
"I don't see it," Jisung lightly joked at you.
The conversation flowed so well with him. He didn't make you feel on edge or weird the comfortable talking was enough for you. Talking about how he was making new songs and how you were doing in university and such.
The conversation soon turning more flirty with wantful words in-between the lines. The lines of caring words and wanting innuendos.
"I don't want to give off a fake camgirl vibe for you," you blushed lightly covering your face in embarrassment at saying it out loud.
He nodded in understanding "Then be natural you're with me remember," he gave a toothy grin back at you. His small cute eyes gazing at you.
His words did fill you with comfort so you did it so casually a small smirk lifted on your lips as the vibe of the call turned sexual quite fast. "Just because I trust you, Han," you smirked on his nickname.
Smiling you sighed with a small smirk "I mean you do watch my private streams don't you," you flirted with him a tad. "Watching me come on camera," you flirted "did you like them," you asked truly interested in if he did often.
Jisung adams apple lightly bobbed "I love them," he grinned. "I love the one where you were dressed up," he admitted his cheeks lightly red "and the way you pushed up your skirt as you touched yourself." He shifted in his seat lightly putting his head in shame at the confession.
"Don't be shy now my sweetie," you cooed out at him. "I'm happy that you got to watch me," you said. "Were you touching yourself," you paused lightly looking at Jisung "Rubbing one out as you watched me touch myself," you commented.
"I did," he said shamelessly his eyes shifted over your face through the video call. "I came so hard that night," he gave a soft smile.
"I bet you're a little hard right now aren't you," you teased him.
Jisung lightly blinked rolling his large gamer chair back a bit showing his sweat pants with a slight outline in them. "I am," he shyly said. It was enjoyable seeing him so shy and awkward on camera. His producer persona was so hard and deep while Jisung was really shy and adorable.
"Lightly touch yourself for me," giving him a light order. On the other side of the screen, Jisung laid back lazily in his producer chair his hand on his bulge lightly rubbing himself. The more he palmed himself the site of a growing wet spot.
"Princess can you," he stopped shyly gazing at you shifting in his chair it gave you a better view of his body. It was thin and all you wanted to do was press your face in his chest.
"Yes Han," you smirked at the nickname he liked.
"I really like when you play with your breast," He admitted his eyes rolling back as he rubbed himself a little harder at the confession.
Quirking an eyebrow you smirked at him pushing your sweater off revealing your lace bra.
"Do I look good in this," you asked feeling the lace covering your breast.
"It's fucking beautiful Y/n," he whispered in want licking his lips in want.
Pushing that off to reveal your chest to him. A light 'fuck' came from Jisung encouraging you making you feel utterly comfortable.
Moving your hands to your chest you bite your lip as you run your fingers over your nipples touching them slightly. Arousal lightly fueled your actions as you rubbed them to Jisungs pleasure.
His intense gaze stared at you as he let out a whiny moan "pull on them please," he gasped as he pushed his sweats down so he had more direct contact with his groin.
You did as he asked lightly pulling on your bubs a low moan let out at the touching your body heating up from his gaze and his wants. "Ah it feels so good sweetie," you moaned out as you lightly pinched and pulled on them.
Jisung on the other side of the video moaned at the image of you pulling and playing with your breast.
Your head was spinning with want as you soon removed your yoga pants pulling them down wanting some direct contact already.
"Mmh my sweetie," you moaned picking up two of your vibrators "which one should I use," you giggled out. A small purple bullet or a larger more direct contact one.
Jisung eyes filled with lust as he let out a breathy moan "the small one," he moaned out as he pushed down his boxers showing his dick. It was hard while the head an angry red and wet.
Angling the camera a little more to show your whole body you buzzed with want as you light rubbed your clit. Touching yourself watching Jisung starting to lightly stroke himself made you dizzy with want.
"I just want to touch you," you moaned feeling your wetness already growing as you pleasured yourself. Baring yourself to him completely.
"Soon my love," he gasped as he brushed against the head of his dick.
You grabbed the small bullet vibrator slowly slipping it inside of you turning the low buzz on making you moan with want.
"You look, delicious princess," a small curse left his lips as his eyes were glued on the screen his hand jerking himself off lightly. The erotic scene of seeing him touching himself, touching himself watching you made you moan.
The visual aspect was there for sure as you watched him jerk off. A low moan let out of Jisung you could tell he was close. Your fingers attached to your slit as you rubbed it matching his speed.
"Ugh," a light moan left his lips as he watched you wither in your chair.
"Come for me sweetie I need to see it," you gasped feeling how close you were the heat of the moment making your mind and body buzz.
The brown hair male on the other side of the screen came in his hand as ropes of white essences feel onto his hand. His face twisted with want and relief.
Chasing your orgasm soon after you let out a moan as you came soon after him. Your back arched in your chair as you came.
It was quiet for a moment as you both came down from your high. The feeling of your body coming down from the high felt so good.
“Y/n that was amazing,” Jisung spoke “I’m so lucky,” he grinned handsomely.
“Mmh your face was so cute when you came,” you complimented him. It was the twisted look of pleasure looked so amazing.
“I can’t wait to see you,” he hummed slowly wiping off his come off his hand and pants.
"Same," you hummed smiling wanting to meet him already.
                                                           +
You sat there your cheeks warm like the small tea in your hand as you waited to finally see Jisung. You and he lived a few cities apart but he decided you'll meet in the middle.
The time you spent online together filled your heart with joy but seeing him in real life would be amazing.
"Y/n," you heard a voice say. It was like a moment in time as you looked up to see Jisung standing before you. In real life here with you. He was handsome and looked like he probably did spend an hour picking the perfect outfit.
Before you knew it your arms were around his waist hugging him tightly.
“Hi to you to Y/n,” he grinned wrapping his arms around your waist to pull you closer to him.

Tame the malo in him Fuckboy!Yoongi x Photographer!Reader
Genres: Angst, comedy, fluff, smut time 👀👀👀 family problems.
Warnings: Unprotected sex (always use condoms bls), semi-public sex (i mean they fuck at the janitor's closet that's near by the meeting room so 🗿), Sub!Yoongi x Dom!Y/N, edging, praising with some degrading, denial of orgasm
A/N: Heya late happy valentines (I'm sorry ill try to update more frequently I got busy with musical practice) btw thanks for the support on my series babies 🥺💗💗 keep it up, remember to like and reblog if you enjoy my works. Anyway in this chapter, I've had a more detailed plot about this series. So ahem.
(Yoongi, a notorious Fuckboy of your campus has met you a couple of times; to have a couple of fun, it just so happened that you caught feelings for him amidst it all, but he trampled on your hope, dreams, and all the love that you have for him. So you picked yourself up, you trained to be a deserving CEO-in-line to continue your family's legacy of professional photography, and as you regained yourself. The Fuckboy whom you've hated with a burning passion somehow becomes your arranged fiancé?? Question now is, how would you distance yourself from the man who broke you when he's literally going to school with you, eat food with you and most importantly share an apartment with you? Ugh. Here we go again.)
With a chuckle, the female closed her phone and turned it off afterwards yawning before she headed to her bedroom for a much-needed nap. She dived into the soft mattress and after a few minutes her eyelids finally closed and she snored lightly on the warm and comforting covers.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"What the fuck were you thinking yoongi?!" Mrs. Min yelled at him, before the male before her wanted to make an excuse. But he knew he couldn't because he didn't know that the girl that he fucked a couple years ago was what made his family rich.
"Ma, i swear I-I didn't know that she was Ms. Nemesis" he explained, stuttering as his lips quivered by the sight of his mother raging, he wanted her to be proud of him. But he ruined it.
"I've spoiled you too much, haven't I?" she said before she pinched the bridge of her nose before she sighed "On Thursday, you're going with me to the office, explain what you did to Ms. Nemesis to her father before apologizing" she finished the sentence before grabbing a can of beer and opening it before drinking it quickly before she threw it on the ground and sucked in some air "I swear to God, if I lose my job. I'm leaving you." she said before grabbing a box of cigarettes then proceeding to smoke in the balcony, she slammed the balcony door shut and yoongi swore he saw himself flinch by the glassy balcony door. He rubbed his arms before biting his thumb as he walked back and forth, thinking of some plan until he snapped his fingers then smiled nodding, before chuckling to himself. "Ms. Y/N, unfortunately for you we will share the same power." he thought to himself before he looked at his mother's empty beer can before throwing it away.
Thursday arrived in a blue, it was a stressful week, Thank God you and your crackheads are excused for 2 days for the photoshoot. You adjusted the lens of the camera before taking a sip of your tea as you sat by the lounge, waiting for Seokjin and Jungkook until one of the staff had approached you "Uhm, Miss Y/N, Your father is looking for you" she said and you replied to her with a nod. You were also reeling for this day since Yoongi would apologize to not just your father but to you as well, just thinking about it seemed so sweet and so joyful so you set your tea down then walked alongside her with a smirk plastered on your face "And who's waiting at Dad's office?" you asked the staff member and she replied in a flat tone "Mrs. Lavender with her son, Mr. Yoongi" as soon as the both of you arrived, you spared no effort to open the door before smiling at your sweet and doting father by walking to him and hugging him "Why were you looking for me, father?" you asked and he replied by looking to yoongi. "Explain yourself, boy about what we talked about. Now" he demanded and yoongi had a slight smirk on his lips which confuses you before he spoke.
"I apologize for my actions, Ms. Y/N but i can't help it when I realized that you are my fiancée" he spoke in a gentle tone and you felt your eyes escaping from your eye sockets. Fiancée? What was going on??
Your father smiled as he looked at you then caressed your hands "He's just a lovesick fool for you, my dear. And you know how I wanted to pair you up with someone." he explained and you looked at him enraged but managed to keep it cool, even though your stare was shooting daggers at yoongi "I refuse to marry a playboy." you said and Mrs. Min had jumped in "Ms. Y/N, it's been months since my son yoongi hasn't had another female with him at home because he's so focused on you. And he's now a changed man" he said with a sweet smile on her face and you want nothing more than to yell.
"What happened to Mr. Rabbit's son? Didn't he say that he was willing to marry me, why not him instead?" you asked, stubbornly crossing your arms and you swore you saw yoongi chuckle by this habit that you still have before he back hugged you gently and rested his head by your shoulder "I can be better than him, please don't leave me" he pretended to whine and beg which amused your father as he chuckled and smiled "Look, my dear! He's clearly whipped for you. And it's more preferable since you and yoongi are sure to produce more attractive grandchildren for me. C'mon my dear, surely you won't disobey what I tell you" he said laughing softly before you bit your lip and nod "Yes. Father, I'll follow your orders." she said before striding off outside, walking off quickly hot in your heels and you can hear yoongi's footsteps nearing you and you stopped midway and yoongi stopped as well, panting heavily, and you turned over to look at him and felt irritated and disgusted by his smirk so you went over to him and spoke "You think this is funny, Yoongi? You fucking asshole" and he responded as he licked his lips "Why babygirl, it's a given fact that I missed you so bad" he said and you felt more angry by the nickname he gave you "Don't call me 'babygirl' I'm not a babygirl" she threatened shooting him an angry look and he replied by chuckling lowly "Why? Did I touch a nerve, babygirl? Pretty girl? Soft girl?-" he didn't even managed to finish his sentence before you shut him up with a kiss and you pushed him back to a door and he groaned in response before chuckling "Why, looks like my babygirl missed me after all" he said between kisses before wrapping his arms by your waist and you have to open the door to the janitor's closet before pushing him in there, making him sit to the floor before you closed the door and locking it. You shot him an irritated look before you made a 'tsk' sound then removing your shoes which he raised a brow by it as he was about to ask your foot then went to his member before massaging it harshly which he replied with a choked moan and you made a shush gesture at him to shut up "What a bratty boy you've become, Min Yoongi. Now, what should I do to put you back to your place?" you said before smirking and tilting your head slightly loving the reaction he's giving, the flushed cheeks, the heavy-lidded eyes and his parted lips, he sucked in some air before panting heavily "F-fuck, th-that's so hot" he muttered before you continued on the assault and he moaned louder and then he bit his lip to keep him from making any more noise "What would your mother think if she knew you could be this fucking loud, hm?" you asked which he responded by whining "Give me more, please. Oh fuck I feel so hard" he said biting his lip and emitting a loud mewl and the female then stopped moving her foot which made the male groan and whine before the female then went down on him and sat on his hardened erection which made him hiss and arch his head back, seeing sweat drops form by his neck pleased you. So you licked it all up only to graze your teeth slightly by his neck, before proceeding to mark his neck which made him moan again, his heavy-lidded eyes focused on your frame. God, you looked so hot like this, and so different.
With no time to waste, the female stripped her pants down and pulled his boxers off before sinking herself to just his tip and he clenched his fists 'til they turn white and he let out a soft yet whiny mewl, you then stripped from your blouse and brassiere, letting your breasts be in view for his hungry eyes and you swore you saw him drool by your sight. You seem so fuller now, fuck. His cock kept on twitching and he groaned "Baby, please please please. Don't do this to me" he muttered and you felt a pool of confidence overtake you as you sink down all so suddenly making him leat out a throaty moan before you move your hips rapidly, erratic wanton moans escape from his bruised lips.
"Who the fuck are you to demand that from me, pretty boy?" you said and you swore his cock twitched and pulsed by your words before he kept on panting, he watched how your boobs bounced with every rapid twist you make and he couldn't take it anymore as his lips had found its way to latch itself onto your nipple, while his hand played with the other, you moaned lowly by this then sped your actions which made him go at it faster, knowing how you loved having your breasts played and sucked but this time he moved his hips according to your speed
"Oh fuck, you're great at this aren't you little boy? Because you've been a brat for too long you've amused a lot of females hah?" you said as you moaned wantonly this time as you bit your lower lip and he whined by your words feeling himself nearing the edge
"Fuck! I'm almost there..!" he exclaimed as he arched his head back, cheeks flushing at the lewd noises your intertwined bodies made
"I'm cumming..!" you yelled before the coil in your stomach snapped and you came. Satisfied you removed yourself from him and he groaned and whined as his rising climax had delayed "No, baby. Let me cum please, let me finish" he whined and you chuckled lowly by this looking at how needy he looked and how his dick stood there, glistened with precum and your juices and rockhard needing some release. You wore your pants and blouse before you looked at your watch
"Unfortunately for you, Mr. Min I have a job to do, now if you'll excuse me." you said before unlocking the door and exiting leaving a mildy confused and empty yoongi behind, still panting before he sighed then proceeded to stroke his dick to ease his cock.

HLITF: This is not the story of your first night: Soma - otona love - chapter 4 summary/translation
anyway i guess you didn’t have to wait that long for chapter 4 but only because i couldn’t wait and had to keep reading. you can find the previous chapter here, or check my new translations page to read from the beginning. my translations masterpost is not rebloggable or mobile-friendly yet but i will update when i make one! otherwise, you can always just search the tag “summary” or “translation” on my blog or follow the links in my previous chapter posts to find the previous posts. 
previously, soma had just said that what he was refraining [re: verbal attacking] from was... 
naturally, he finishes his sentence outrageously:
Tumblr media
soma: “i’m only refraining ..... in bed”
(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) <-- btw, the mc reacts the same way
he whispers this to you so closely that his lips are basically touching your ears again. 
Tumblr media
soma: “are you displeased?”
keep reading for irritated momose, soma being the best boyfriend ever, and him asking something of you that is so predictable of him...
side note: i know you are probably all sick of me gloating about how well i understand soma that i can predict his behaviour/know what to expect but i’m just so pleased to see all this teasing and manipulation in canon. anyway how dare he ask that with such a sweet smile on his face. he knows exactly what he’s doing. 
Tumblr media
soma: “or is it better to refrain in the workplace after all?”
you say that you’d prefer that he doesn’t [use verbal attacks] in the workplace as well, but you’ll leave that up to his judgement. deliberately letting his breath fall on your ears, soma drew back with an innocent face. you lament that you really can’t win against soma. 
“by the way, shouldn’t you get going soon?” soma asks.
Tumblr media
soma: “tsugaru-san’s loyal dog-kun is about to bare his fangs” (lmaooooo)
you panic that if you wait around any longer, you’ll get bitten. so you “ittekimasu” and soma replies “itterasshai” and you run off after momose. 
Tumblr media
this is a new background!! 
you apologise for the wait and momose flashes you one of these:
Tumblr media
momose hops into the waiting car and glares silently at you. you can’t see his fangs but it really seems like he’s gonna bite you! 
momose throws the case documents from tsugaru at you and tells you to hammer it into your head before you arrive at the site. you try to ask “site-?” but momose just tells you to read it to understand and then he steps on the accelerator. meanwhile i’m here lamenting the fact that we don’t have a momose driving sprite. i guess they are only reserved for real love interests ;~~;
you exclaim “isn’t it dangerous to start [the car] like that?” and momose says that they are late because of you. you apologise but plead with him to drive safely lmaooo this is so on brand. 
while in the car, you start reading the case files on the target. there’s a group that has been showing suspicious movement right as a summit in tokyo is approaching and one of the members is the target this time. you’re going to the apartment that’s supposed to be their hangout. 
Tumblr media
momose doesn’t respond but no response means “yes”... 
you note that there are more than 10 [more than a dozen] targets coming in and out and then momose randomly says “today is friday”. it takes a moment but you suddenly see something in the wording of the case document. turns out that every friday there’s a chance of contact with the terrorist mastermind.
“in other words, today,” says momose. 
“we’ve got to hurry!” you exclaim and momose gives you that silent look again lol. you apologise, saying “who’s the one who’s been saying that...” since you were the one who kept him waiting.  
Tumblr media
“but those eyes... they’re too scary...!”
in order to escape from his accusatory glare, you turn your eyes back to the case material. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“momose-san doesn’t say a lot, so the pressure of his gaze is intense”
“in other words... a shisenzeme [”glare attack”] type?” 
you inadvertently returned your gaze [at momose] that had turned away. he asks “what” and you’re like “nothing!!” you scold yourself a little because you have a job to do today and you need to concentrate on your work. 
Tumblr media
i’m just adding these backgrounds here bc i’ve never seen some of them before lol.
it’s late and you couldn’t get any results from today’s work so you return to headquarters at night. you leave the division at 9pm after doing paperwork. 
Tumblr media
“i promised i would go to soma-san’s house tonight...!” (😏😏😏)
i’m gleeful about what’s to come but also worried bc it takes me like 5 mins per slide to translate all the euphemistic sex scenes. you send him a text saying “i’m leaving [work] now!” and rush out and - 
your phone chimes with a reply:
Tumblr media
“thanks for your hard work*. i’m making paella and waiting for you.”
*otsukaresama = good job/thanks for your hard work/you’ve worked hard
i hope you’ve all realised by now that soma is the greatest boyfriend of all time i love him so much 🥰🥰🥰
clearly hlitf mc thinks the same thing:
Tumblr media
“paella! i’m so happy!!”
soma’s immediate reply makes you smile. (same girl, same ;~~;) since soma’s paella is full of seafood, you decide to buy some delicious white wine. 
“you’re arrived so late,” soma says when you arrive at his. he opens the door, looking a little displeased. you apologise and say you bought wine. 
Tumblr media
soma: “taking such a detour...”
you show him the wine but his expression doesn’t change. you wonder if he���s angry... you were working late and you wish you had come straight to his. he asks you if it’s a white [wine] from spain, and you say you think it would compliment his paella. he says it should. 
Tumblr media
soma: “a wonderful selection” 
i’m so happy to be praised by him lol. you’re like “yokatta...!” (i’m glad). soma says it was worth the wait. it’s a little disagreeable when you arrived (not really sure if i translated this bit correctly) but he’s not criticising/reproaching you. 
“let’s go eat,” soma says, and you say yes!!
Tumblr media
“mm~ soma-san’s paella is the most delicious after all”
Tumblr media
soma: “i’m honoured to receive your compliment”
he jokingly bows his head, and you enjoy a late dinner together. he says that the wine you chose is also delicious. you agree, but you apologise for keeping him waiting. he asks you if things went well [at work] and you’re like “um...” and then he apologises for asking about things related to another team’s investigation. 
Tumblr media
soma: “excuse me. i shouldn’t say anything about the contents of another team’s investigation.”
you think that you can’t talk about it even to soma, even though you got no results today. 
Tumblr media
“but [seeing you] in that state...”
Tumblr media
“no, it’s nothing.”
you think that just now, he definitely saw through you [that you got no results]. “is that so...” you say, and soma just continues to eat while smiling as if nothing happened. you’re glad he left it there today. usually he’ll push you a little more or tease you. soma-san is good at listening to team tsugaru’s movements/happenings.
Tumblr media
soma: “if you [eat] too slowly, it’ll be too late to take a bath”
i had to include a screenshot here bc it’s my policy whenever soma talks about baths. i bet he’s gonna ask to go in together too lmao. 
you realise that’s why he didn’t ask you about this and that. you apologise that things are rushed just because you were late. 
Tumblr media
soma: “ahh, sorry... i don’t mean to blame you”
you say that ah no, you don’t feel like he was blaming/criticising you! and he says “that’s good then”. 
Tumblr media
soma: “it’s getting late, so it’ll be quicker if we go in together”
I KNEW IT I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DO THIS!!!!! i’m ALSKJFSLDSDS?!!!!J LKSJFLDK!??!???! fLSKDJLKJF!!!!! 
Tumblr media
“soma-san grins flirtily while swirling his glass of white wine”
Tumblr media
soma: “i got new bath salts, shall we enjoy it together?”
YESYE SLYEEYESYEYYEYESY
Tumblr media
“could it be... i was skillfully manipulated!?”**
**it says “guided”, basically meaning he like led her into this. remember when i said mc’s entire relationship with soma was one big trap? this is what i mean lol!!
--
anyway, that’s the end of chapter 4! i can’t believe how quickly it went by (maybe my language skills are getting just a little better lol... or maybe i just don’t have to spend ages trying to figure out what parts of whose body are being touched in what manner in these everyday scenes lmao). i can’t BELIEVE WE GET SOMA WANTING TO BATHE TOGETHER AGAIN. i mean i can believe he because he wants to do it constantly but i’m like giddy with excitement seeing it again lmao. i love seeing overly legalistic hlitf mc as well (the fact that she was late but still nagged momose to not start the car so abruptly... sis........) and also how cute that soma made paella and waited for her a;lsjfdlsk supportive boyfriends are the best. 
i hope you enjoyed this chapter, and that you’re as excited as i am for the next chapter and hopefully the inevitable bathing together scene...   
i’m sure i could probably draw more traffic by updating that scandalous kazuomi story but i am selfish and i want to finish this story first bc i just can’t get enough of soma.
i’ve also set up a ko-fi page here and would be incredibly grateful if you would like to support me for translations and being able to purchase more routes to recap in english!

The Boy Next Door
Genre: Thriller AU
Characters: Yoongi, Hoseok x Reader
Next
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up in the early morning to the sound of brids chirping. Yawning loudly you got up and opened your blinds to let the morning sun shine into your room looking at the clear sky your mood got lifted even more after being woken up by the peaceful sound of nature. You had a feeling that today was going to be extra special.
Suddenly you heard a loud bang outside and a deep voice shouting curse words. Your eyes shifted to the guys standing in the driveway next to your house one of them trying to lift up a heavy-looking box.
„Ah, shit! I hope you didn‘t break anything“, the guy shouted, who seemed like the older brother of the one who’d dropped the box on the road. He kept carrying one box after the other into the house next to yours while the younger was staring at the box in front of him as if it was a math problem.
His thin figure was slightly struggling to hold the heavyweight up for too long and he put it down once again with an annoyed expression looking around to check his surroundings as if he wanted to make sure no one was looking his way. His hair was tousled and black as ebony his clothes that were loosely hanging over his body were all in the same color palette of dark grey, black and blue.
Soon his eyes darted up staring directly at you catching a glimpse of your gaze right before you disappeared from your window.
Your heart was beating rapidly inside of your chest for being caught staring and you quickly moved to your bathroom to get ready for school. You put on a black turtle neck sweater with white pants and went downstairs where you could hear your mom fidgeting with the mixer already.
„Mom, are you baking a-“, you stopped as soon as you walked into the kitchen spotting your mom cracking eggs into the batter.
„...cake, for the new neighbors.“
You smiled at her as she nodded. It was a tradition for you two to welcome a new neighbor with your mom’s homemade cake.
„Yes. I saw them arrive this morning and introduced myself to them. They seem to be very nice people.“
You hummed in response taking a bite of the pancake that was already set on a plate on the table.
„Mhmm... delicious! Thanks, mom!“
A bashful smile spread across your mother‘s face since she still struggled with compliments despite the amount she received.
„I‘m glad you like it Y/N. Now hurry up or you‘ll be late for school!“
Finishing your breakfast quickly you left the house after saying goodbye to your mom and ran up to the bus station just in time to catch the bus.
A few minutes later you walked through the big wooden doors entering your school where you were met with the loud noises of students talking and lockers smashing. You walked to yours taking out the textbooks you needed for your classes as you got tackled by someone from behind.
„How was your weekend, Y/N?“, Hoseok‘s loud voice startled you and you turned around with wide eyes that shut him up immediately.
„Sorry, I know you told me not to yell at you first thing in the morning.“
He averted his gaze with a pout but you couldn‘t help but giggle at the adorable expression. It was funny how your friend was sensitive to loud noises but was the loudest one himself.
„It‘s okay. My weekend was so much fun! And with fun I mean I‘ve been working on my assignments non-stop and I haven‘t seen sunlight in two days“, you faked a smile as Hoseok looked at you as if you‘d gone completely crazy. He bent down to meet your eyes studying your face carefully.
„Yep. It‘s clear. You need help.“ He nodded earning a playful punch from you in return as his loud laugh filled the hallways. The bell rang and the hallways emptied quickly everyone walking into the classrooms and you and Hoseok started your day with a good mood.
„Is he hot?“, Hoseok whispered after a few seconds causing your eyes to grow wide looking at him. You‘d just told him about your new neighbors and the embarrassing incident, feeling the heat rise to your cheeks once again at the thought of it. Hoseok kept staring at you with expectant eyes waiting for your answer but you simply didn‘t know what to say so you just shrugged averting your eyes.
Hoseok sighed shaking his head at your response clearly disappointed he shifted his attention back to the teacher in front of you and so you continued the rest of the classes for the day trying hard not to fall asleep.
„Mom, I‘m home!“, you yelled the sweet smell of freshly baked cake engulfing you as soon as you set foot into your house.
„Oh, perfect! Can you please bring this over to the new neighbors? I have an important video conference with one of my clients.“
Your mom‘s eyes were sparkling at the mention of her client. She worked as a full-time artist and selling your artwork was a difficult business and it was always great news when she got a new client who was ready to buy one of her beautiful paintings. So you nodded taking the cake that was carefully packed in a tin and made your way over to your new neighbors. You heard your mom shout a ‚thank you‘ behind you as you closed the front door already dreading the encounter in front of you. You were hoping that his older brother would open the door since you were still too embarrassed to meet the one who‘d caught you this morning.
Walking up the few stairs, you finally stood in front of the black wooden door fixing your hair before pressing the bell right next to the brass sign that read ‚Min Brothers‘. You held your breath as you heard the loud bell sounding through the entire house and someone shouting inside.
„Open the door, Jae!“, a deep voice shouted inside.
„Get your ass up from the couch and get it yourself!“, you heard another voice shout that you recognized as the older one. After a few curse words you heard slurping footsteps nearing the door automatically causing you took a step back as a precaution. The door opened revealing the older brother whose eyes widened in surprise to see you standing there.
„Oh, hey...“, he spoke lowly as you tightened the grip around the cake tin. His black hair was almost covering his eyes which made it hard for you to read his expression. You couldn‘t tell if he was annoyed by your visit or not.
„Uhm... this is for you. My mom made it as a welcome gift“, you spoke rapidly only wanting to disappear but you soon saw his lips pull into a shy smile as he accepted your gift with a bow. He ran his fingers through his hair to get the strands out of his sight so he could look at you properly. His gaze wandered up and down your face examining your details in a calm manner but it made you freeze in your spot your mind racing with thoughts about what to do or say next.
„Thank you...“, he dragged his words implying for you to introduce yourself which you‘d completely forgotten in the heat of the moment. As if you were stung by an adder you realized how dumb you were acting in front of your new neighbor and you quickly introduced yourself with a nervous laugh.
„Sorry, my name‘s Y/N. I live in that house over there“, you pointed towards your house but stopped to look back at the guy when you heard his chuckle.
„Yeah, I know.“
Your eyes widened immediately at his words and he noticed your gaze before he quickly added: „I saw you this morning when you ran to the bus station.“
Your cheeks turned red but you were glad that he didn‘t mention the window incident as you nodded with a shy smile.
„I‘m Min Yoongi, by the way. It‘s nice to meet you, Y/N.“ Your name rolled off his tongue so smoothly it made you shiver and you nodded with a timid smile.
„Uhm... I think I should head back home...“, you said after a long pause stepping down the stairs ready to leave but you stopped when you heard his deep voice speaking up again.
„I‘ll see you around.“
Before you could reply the door got closed and you quickly left as you felt like an intruder standing all alone on their front porch.
Finally, back in your room, you turned your laptop on to work on your homework for the next day as your phone suddenly rang with an incoming message. You furrowed your brows at the unknown number as you opened the message only to feel your blood freeze in your veins.
Tumblr media
You tossed your phone away standing up so fast that it knocked your chair over with a loud crash. Looking around your room panicked you moved to your window to see if there was someone outside but all you could see was an empty street illuminated by the lamp posts surrounding your little neighborhood. You closed your blinds quickly trying to calm yourself down as you stood in the middle of your room staring at your phone that laid upside down on your desk, too scared to pick it up again.
„Y/N? Is everything alright?“, you heard your mom‘s voice coming from downstairs startling you again. She must‘ve heard the loud crash of your wooden stool and you knew how scared your mom was of loud noises after everything that went down with your dad. You composed yourself quickly holding onto your elbows to prevent yourself from shaking as you replied to her.
„N-no mom, don‘t worry it was just my chair.“
You walked over to pick the knocked over furniture up again your eyes shifting to your phone as you kept staring at it. Only one question haunted your mind the same words repeating over and over again in your head.
Who was it?
Tumblr media

1 May 2020 Relapse
You know how when people have cancer, and they get completely cured, and then suddenly for no reason the Cancer comes back and effs up their lives again? P is like that. He was the one who blocked me, he was the one who cut off all contact, and just when I had completely forgotten about him, he comes back- And the only reason I can think of is that he wanted attention from his personal fan club, aka me, again. I had initially decided to ignore him and not even acknowledge his existence, and I wish I had stuck to that.... But at least now I know for sure that he likes me back, and that there could never be anything real between us ever-And I think I finally got my much-deserved closure. Here’s how the convo went down.
I texted him after like, 6 days of him following me on Insta-
Me- Did you account get hacked or something?
P- You know, expecting something unexpected is a paradox in itself. 
Me- Yeah. And expecting you to answer straightforward is an unrealistic expectation. Anyway, what’s up?
P- Nothing’s up. Are you asking in general or something in particular? 
Me- Tried small talk and failed again. XD 
P- OH Yeah!
((At this point I just rolled my eyes and went back to work, deciding to ignore him. After like, half an hour, he texts again-)).
P- How are you?
Then we talked for a while. for a while means almost 2 hours. We talked about a lot of stuff, and he even took a dig at me for not watching news channels he believes are unbiased and always correct. But we were both chill and cool. Then I asked him what he had been doing all these days. 
Me- No. Following you will emotionally stress me out. So no.
P- What?? why?? 
Me- Obvious. I had a crush on you, I got hurt, I don’t want to go back there again.
P- Don’t worry. You don’t have feelings for me anymore. You’ll be fine. 
((And I go inside my head like, wow, Ok! so instead of directly asking whether I STILL have feelings for him or not, he directly says I don’t, because knowing me, I will immediately retort with a reply. He thinks he’s so smart and all)).
Me- Go die please XD Don’t tell me what I feel or don’t feel! 
((He then showed me his paintings that he had made, and said that this is what I wanted to show you on my Insta page. They were pretty nice for a beginner. Then we discussed a poem and some nonsense, and when the convo died, i left. After just 8 mins-))  P- BTW i have shaved. I don’t look like I used to. 
Me- You’re a handsome guy. You must be looking good still. But flaunt your new look on your DP too na? ((He took a pic that very instant and sent to me, and he looked cute kinda.)) You look perfect either way. Take a proper pic and post on Insta I guess. 
P- How would you know that I posted?
Me- I wouldn’t, but that’s not the point. The point is, you look cute, and everyone should see. 
P- People who find me cute should see only. 
((Now in my dictionary folks, this is outright flirting! And he just wanted to hear more praise from his Fan club. I didn’t continue much tho. He said thanks a bunch, then said he was going to play video games, and i said bye.Texts back in 3 hrs.))
P- There? I didn’t play. 
((Then he showed me a painting he made, which was very good. And then he showed me pics he took of himself, all dressed up in a blue shirt and blazer and even sunglasses, “because you asked me to”. I said, “Try modeling.” Then I showed him a poem S shared with me- ))
P- The girl in this is a cheater.
Me- Acc to psychology, no relationship is perfect. One person will always love more.
P- What you said right there, that really hit hard. 
Me- Idk what to say to that. 
((He asked me to thank him for praising me, I did so. Then he told me he had posted the pics he had shown me, “Like you asked”. I then finally decided to follow him, and the pic he had posted had great comments, and I took credit for making him post them, and he asked me to comment too. I said no.))
P- You didn’t comment yet. 
Me- Yeah right. Are you doing this on purpose? You know I don’t hide stuff. I told you I have feelings for you. Don’t make it weird. XD
P- Comment now. I am not J. ((I said no again.)) Btw I have got admission in X college. I will be moving by Sept. 
Me- Congrats. Not surprised. 
P- Why? Ok. Never mind. 
Me- Oh good.  I find it hard to praise ppl without sounding insincere. Btw J never made it awkward. I’m gonna miss him when he’s gone.
P- Dude you first like me, then you make me count all my shortcomings too. Is your like sensor broken? 
Me- Leave it. XD I didn’t think even for a second that I had a chance with you.  You’re so exasperating! XD Your shortcoming is your narcissism. Anyway, I gotta sleep, so gn. 
((He didn’t reply, but he never does. Then after a few secs I thought I should comment on his pic. Poor guy will get happy. And in those few seconds, he had both unfollowed me and removed me from his followers too! I was like, what the fuck just happened? Is this guy psycho or what? My friend was right! He just wanted me to follow him back! But wait, that doesn’t make sense either because he removed me too! Ugh!))
Me- Wow. So you DID get weird. I thought at least now we were cool man. XD Anyways, TC. ((Seen, no reply. Then I thought, maybe I was the one at fault.)) Oh and umm, sorry I said anything. Wasn’t my intention to hurt you. 
P- You said gn. 
Me- And....?
P- That means go to sleep.
Me- You never reply. That wasn’t the problem. You made me unfollow you. That was. Completely understand tho. No hard feelings.
((Seen, no reply. Then last night, I had the same dream on repeat like a million times- I ask him, what the fuck happened last night? He doesn’t reply, and I walk away frustrated. So the next morning I asked him to just explain this one thing. He said, Go back and read where I wrote, Why? Ok. Never mind. And I did, and and it made absolutely NO SENSE! But he refused to explain further. Said he didn’t have the energy. I decided not to pursue it further, and told him my exam went well today. Seen, no reply. Then I finally got REALLY Mad and texted him this.))
Me- What’s your deal anyway, P? I have never seen a more complicated person in my life. Be honest with me for once. You’re a crappy person, really. 
He left me on seen again. All the above I wrote is my interpretation. And I might be wrong, but knowing the kind of crap he keeps pulling, I don’t think I am. Anyway, I don’t like him now. I really, really wanted to kiss him, but then he went and did all that nonsense. My feelings for him died I think, like 3 months back. All I wish for him now is to feel the same desperation that I did. I saw some of it, but not all. I want him to get hurt too. And I hope he does. He is great at a lot of things, but acting normal isn’t one of them. But I know it will take time for me to completely move on from him again after he came back, so I will write all the imagines in my head here.

Could you share how you organized yourself to go to Japan? To move around, communicate, where you slept and how you decided of the places you wanted to visit ? (I was supposed to go this summer but... haha). Btw I like your pictures, they are pretty aesthetic! Have a nice day
Hi anon !
First of all, I’m so sorry for the late reply !
I’ll be happy to share my experience with you, but I’m not an organized person so sorry if it’s a bit messy (an also sorry for my very bad english, it might be difficult to read or understand this post >.<).
First, you probably have to know that this trip in Japan wasn’t intended. I was in New Zealand at that moment with a Working Holiday Visa and I'd been working for severals months when autumn arrived and I thought it might be the good time to visit Asia since I always wanted to go there, I think we can say that it was an impulse decision that I made one night, next day I've booked my flight for Hô-Chi-Minh-Ville, no turning back this way ^^  . My Asia trip was : Vietnam, Thailand and Japan.
To organize myself, well it’s a big word, but let’s say that for Japan I decided to focus on 3 cities : Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka, one of my dream is to be able to do a Working Holiday Visa there, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it tho. So at that moment I thought it will be good to start with these « big cities » with enough time to visit them than going all around Japan with very short time for each places. I wanted to give myself enough time to visit those cities even if it meant at that moment I’ll not be able to see the countryside x’)
To decide which places I wanted to see I looked a lot of blogs but also some vlogs (not too much because I didn't want to spoil the surprise). I think the best thing to do is to write down all the places you really want to visit and then looks on a map which places are near from each other. For that I used googles map a lot with it's option "directions".  It's a nice tool and what I like the most about it, is that you can choose travel modes with that you can see which bus or subway you need to catch for your next destination, so useful !! This way you can do a lot of things in your day, choose to focus on near neighbourhoods, so you can save times and money ;). In Tokyo you’ll have to take the subway many time and it’s expensive this why I really suggest you to take a look on which places are near to others.
- For subway you can choose Tokyo open day ticket, there are different tickets I suggest you to take a look at this website : https://www.tokyometro.jp/en/ticket/1day/index.html
- you can also have prepaid e-money card , like the Suica or Pasmo card. You can have these cards at the airport, it costs you around 2.000¥ (include 500¥ deposit).  Depending on what you want to do and how you want to live your trip in Tokyo it can be a good option, it’s probably more easier too but not necessary the less expensive so be careful :). Just remember that the price for the subway is calculated based on the distance.
Useful links for cards :
Pasmo : https://www.pasmo.co.jp/visitors/en/normalpasmo/
Suica : https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pass/suica.html
For Kyoto I traveled by bike it was really the best way for me (even if it was so warm that I nearly died 10 times per day) you also have the subway/bus but I didn’t used it a lot. If you use a bike you can really see a lot of things, streets are wide as well. It’s really nice and another way to live your trip far from the bustle of the subway ^^
For Osaka, I used subway too but not as much as in Tokyo, the thing is : you’ll walked a lot !! Be prepare haha
Communication ;
Oh god, that’s a big topic here ! As you can see my english is terrible but it’s nothing compared to japanese x’). They don’t speak english very well (but no judgment here, mine is terrible as well!). Excepted in your hostel where staff speaks pretty well, but they’re so open mind that you succeed to understand the most important. That being said some people speaks well (I mean for me it was, let’s say we’d the same level^^), I met japanese with whom I spent some time and it was really fun ! If you're open mind and want to met people you'll met people, I guarantee you :). Also there are so many foreigners too, you probably can find someone to help you if you’re in need. In my case some japanese people helped me, they walked with me up to the place I was looking for and an old man saved me in Kyoto when the chain come off my bike without me asking for anything 😭❤️
Where I slept :
I used Booking to booked all my places. I don’t know if it’s the best app or anything but it made the job and for me it was the most easiest way to do it, since I used it for all my trips in Asia. I’m not organized at all and a day per day person, so what I did is that I've started to booked a place for 4 nights in Tokyo and then just booked my others places at the last moment. It was an adventure and I didn't know how many days I wanted to stay per cities so I improvised. No money saved tho x')
Here are the places where I stayed if you are interested :
Tokyo : Hotel Owl Tokyo Nippori
Kyoto : couldn’t find it, but it was a very small guesthouse with dorm
Osaka : Bon Hostel Osaka
Since I've booked at the last moment I didn’t have much choices, but I really recommend you Backpacker Hostels you'll meet a lot of people from all around the world and it’s probably one of the less expensive accomodation. But it’s once again, just my opinion it depends on how you want to live your trip ;)
Other things :
- If you’re going to Kyoto you can visit Nara, it’s a really nice city. For that you can take a train (30 min) I really recommend you to take a day or even an half day to visit that city
- If you’re in Tokyo and your next destination is Kyoto then you can take a night bus, it’s the less expensive way to go there (unless you have a car)
- If you're in Tokyo and you want an observation decks then go to The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, it's free and great ! If you take the Tokyo Skytree or even Tokyo tower you'll have to wait a lot and pay for that, which is too bad when you can have the same thing for free ^^. Also I suggest you to go there in the late afternoon then you can enjoy a day and a night view of Tokyo :) (you'll have to wait a bit but definetly worth it !)
- The black ice coffee in konbini is delicious ! (yes it deserves a special note 😂)
- I’ve used the app Maps.me a lot because my phone was dying and using google maps killed my battery too fast. With this app you download the map and then you can use it without any wifi, it's good when you're lost you, with no wifi and you have a shitty phone like mine x'). It saved me many time
Well I'll stop here, there is probably a lot more to say, if you have more questions you can ask me, I’m not the best on the subject but I'd be happy to answer ^^.
Reminder that there is no good or bad way to live your life and discovering new countries :). I lived my trip like a big adventure, probably missed some spots but at the end of the day I'd a lot of fun and it's all matter. I really hope you’ll be able to go there someday and I’m very sorry to know you can't go this summer, I know the feeling. Better luck next time? 🙏 
Take care of you and thank you for the ask !!

How is this job different to the job you did before and what advice would you give to a f1 who's next rotation is on surgery?
Hello there! 
(Sorry for these late replies btw, I’ve been having a break over xmas and I’ve also been ill waah)
This job is very different, especially because the job I was on before, haematology, was so niche and specialised! I’m now on colorectal surgery and it’s very different. I think the main differences are probably:
- hours. On haem I was lucky and only did 9-5, now I’m usually 8-6 and have on-calls and weekends etc.
- the turnover (and number) of patients. On haem I was used to seeing the same faces for weeks on end and getting to know them. There’d be on average one new patient a day. On surgery there are a handful that stick around, but most are in and out in a few days, the turnover is very high and there are so many it’s hard to keep track. Especially on a ‘post-take’ day - this is when one of your consultants is on call, and they basically ‘take’ all the new general surgery patients who have been admitted over the last few days. There’s usually around 30 new patients to either admit to the ward or send home - so the F1s have to madly rush around ordering investigations and writing quick discharge letters. 
You have to be very organised on surgery and write everything down, otherwise you’ll forget what you’re doing for which patient. 
- speedy ward rounds! On medicine, ward rounds are long and the seniors can often spend 10-20 mins with a patient, and even longer debating treatments. On surgical ward rounds it’s much faster and the surgeon usually assesses the main things - on colorectal it’s is the wound ok, has the patients bowels opened/stoma working - then it’s on to the next one. As an F1 on surgery you have to be quick at finding and writing in the notes. 
- you’re left to your own devices more on surgery, so you have to become more self sufficient and competent. On haem there was nearly always a registrar around, but on surgery it’s often just me and one other F1. You don’t want to be phoning the reg for everything, so you do become a bit more independent. 
I think my main tip is you need to be more efficient - update the list as much as you can to save time the next morning, prep discharge letters in advance, if the reg is held up with something on the ward round then go ahead and prep the next notes, etc.
